    I M O

    I think this is a much better idea than any gun buy back... now maybe joe biden will step up to the plate....and insert his foot in his....well sumthin! lee Insanity runs in the family-it practically gallups! A former mayoral candidate in Tucson, Ariz., is drawing heated criticism from Democrats after he launched a program this week to hand out free shotguns in high-crime neighborhoods. Shaun McClusky, who kicked off the program Monday, financed it with initial donor commitments of $12,000. He told FoxNews.com that with those private donations alone, he can arm and train 36 people -- and hopes to begin that process in 60 days. McClusky said he's already received more than a dozen responses from residents, "none of them negative, all of them positive." But with McClusky launching the gun handout program in the same area where former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in 2011, he's running into stiff resistance from Arizona officials. State Rep. Victoria Steele, who represents Tucson, called the program "plain lunacy." "Arizonans in Tucson and across the state are demanding that we reduce gun violence and create safer communities. Handing out shotguns is not a solution," she said in a written statement. House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called it "ideological extremism at its worst" and "a political gimmick that could have dangerous consequences." The program, though, is actually the brainchild of a master's student at the University of Houston. The student, Kyle Coplen, launched what he calls the Armed Citizen Project, a nonprofit that is handing out "defensive shotguns" for free in certain neighborhoods of Houston and studying the effect on crime rates. Reached Thursday, Coplen said it's too early to tell whether there is an effect -- but he said he intends to expand the program to 15 cities by the end of the year. Right now, the program is only in Houston and Tucson, with McClusky's help. "His idea's great," McClusky said Thursday. "So I took his idea and I ran with it here in Tucson." McClusky said he's working with a gun shop that will help procure the shotguns and run the background checks and another school that will help conduct training classes. He said he's identified three high-crime neighborhoods and estimates it will cost $300 to $350 to arm each person who signs up. He stressed that everyone who applies for the free shotgun will have to go through the standard background check. "Everyone will go through a background check. There is no getting around it," he said. As for the criticism, he said the initiative is a product of the city council's failure to adequately fund public safety. "The Democrats are the ones to blame. ... They're the ones that fail to fund public safety," he said. "They are failing the citizens. The citizens are reacting." But others expressed concern about the unintended consequences of such a program. Councilwoman Regina Romero told the Arizona Daily Star that the plan to proliferate shotguns is "reckless." "Why doesn't he hand them out around his neighborhood?" she asked. The project comes amid a tense debate regarding the need for new gun laws, in the wake of mass shootings in Arizona, Colorado and most recently Connecticut. Nearby Colorado recently passed a package of firearms measures that continue to be fiercely debated. In Washington, the Senate is preparing to vote on a package of measures that address gun trafficking and background checks -- another proposal to renew the national assault weapons ban will likely get a vote, but faces heavy resistance.

    Want to get into reloading

    i started handloading in 1994 with a pound of imr 3031, a set of used .257 Roberts dies and the Lee 50th Anniversary Reloading kit i bought for 75.00. i always thought i would upgrade the various items but never did. i have sent custom hunting ammunition all over the world with friends that i loaded off that little lee press. you can still buy a 50th anniversary kit for around a hundred bucks. there is always a better press, a better scale, a better trimmer, a better priming tool but i have reloaded over 10,000 wildcat, rifle and handgun rounds on this set up over 20 years. its all about an accurate powder measure and patience. the .270 is an easy round to load for-a pound of h4831 will load up over 100 .270 rounds. . good luck and be safe, lee

    Obama needs to watch this!

    God Bless Rick Monday. I was listening to Vin Sculley broadcasting the game on KTAR620 when this went down. Current administration is way scarier than some pot smokin' flag burners. lee

    Timing is Everything

    Really would like to borrow a trailcam-just for the backyard if anyone on the mountain wants to set it up. i know the cow/calf/spike patten and beds but the bulls are anybodys guess-and the rez fence is only 2 miles away. lasso? i was thinking more of hanging gillnets from the trees about 7ft off the ground......lol. a bull got caught in the neighbor kids portable basketball hoop and destroyed it along with a big compost bin last week. any africa hunters on here please send plans for those pygmy death pits with the spears in the bottom ok?...if these beasties eat my pepper patch in june i'm gonna start digging...... lee Insanity runs in the family-it practically gallups!

    The GOOD News !?!?

    The aim of the study, "Meat Consumption and Mortality: Results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition," was to see how eating red meat, poultry and processed meat did or did not increase people’s risk of death. And while researchers found that eating lots of poultry was not to blame, and that consuming red meat was found only slightly to blame, it was clear that indulging in processed meats was a serious problem. The good news, though, is that the scientists concluded people could prevent the higher risk of death simply by reducing their intake to less than three-quarters of an ounce of processed meat—about one slice of bacon—daily. guess they just want us all to go tofu? does this mean i am going to die sooner because of that liverwurst, banana and onion sandwich i ate on that rock in 24A? three-quarters of an ounce? i reload by the 10th of a grain and don't know what a 3/4ounce chunk of kielbasa would look like..... the old slogan 'tastes great-less filling' comes to mind. three-quarters of an ounce?????????????? lee Insanity runs in the family-it practically gallups!

    WTB Mosin Russian Nagant Rifle

    forget nagant. think mauser. even the old 1891 argentine mauser is better than a nagant. 95, 96, and all the 98's are so superior and customizable it is ridiculous. if it wasn't for captured mauser 98's the ussr would have lost the war lol! i read somewhere: the americans had the best target rifle, 03a3 the germans had the best hunting rifle, m98k but the british had the best battle rifle! smle no mention of nagant! lee

    NOT a problem. not now and should not ever be. the minute you found out they had works in the area you should have called off the stand and asked if they were having any luck. they may not own the land but these guys have always been by-the-book with the FS/BLM and they do have the mineral rights. i drove up on one of their camps once with 100-200 in attendance and we have had numerous pleasant encounters with these folks over the years. simple courtesy of their camp if nothing else. lee

    Worth a laugh or two. ;-)

    over 1600 bucks. i gave up at a grand.
  21. no way that thing could be worth a grand! 1952? more likely 1852 from the looks of it! 1952? was there smokeless powder then? i like nice rifles but how is that 'nice'? all original? looks more like a tree stump than a gun! original is worth whaaaaaat? is there a 12 step group for m70's? no-but makers mark and wild turkey help some. you can't sell junk what looks like that-wait for a gun buy-back in tucson! i just don't get it. no matter how hard i try. or how much money i offer. how could you trust something like that on the hunt of a lifetime-the one you used up twenty bonus points for? you should borrow my brand new vanguard! evil, evil grin......... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=327468568
