Berlin Vet's JournalWhat Movies Do You Watch (Or Can Watch) Over and Over Again?
What are some of your favorite movies that you watch over and over again. Also if you are channel surfing and come to one of your favorites, you stop on that channel and watch it again. Here are some of mine:
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. The Firm
3. A Few Good Men
4. The Big Lebowski
5. Old School
Can you be a Progressive Democrat and still the support the Second Amendment?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what is reasonable gun control that a Democratic politician could use when running for office.
Here are a few of mine:
1. The current method of filling out a BATFE form 4473 to purchase a firearm from a dealer ensures criminals can not buy guns. This needs to continue. I live in Washington state and a law was passed in 2014 requiring private gun sales needed to be done through an FFL dealer. I don't really have a problem with this since you best bud for the past twenty years could have committed a felony years ago and never told anyone.
2. I lived in Illinois in the 90's and I had to get a Firearms Owner Identification (FOID) card to buy guns (and maybe ammo, don't remember). I would prefer to see this done state by state to avoid that "gun database for later seizure" issue. What I like about this is if I sell you a gun (private sale), I would make a copy of your FOID, and then call the State Police to see if your FOID is still valid. If not no sale.
3. Guns should be secured (safes, secure rooms, trigger locks) when not in use to prevent misuse by others and to deter thefts. I also believe that if you secured firearm is stolen and used in a crime, you are not responsible. Same as if someone stole my car and run over people.
Looking forward to your input.
Four Years After Sandy Hook
It's been slightly over four years since the horrific massacre at the school in Sandy Hook. "Assault" rifles flew off the shelves as people assumed they might get banned and ammunition in the most popular calibers were bought up and empty shelves were common. Now four years later the prices on AR-15 rifles have fallen and popular calibers were widely available less than a year after the shootings. Except for one caliber, the 22LR. This is not the caliber that the shooter used in Sandy Hook, and I would guess it has not been used in a mass shooting very often or at all. So why do you think it is still difficult to find at a reasonable price. I can visit 4-5 Wal-marts in my local area and I rarely find it sitting on the shelf. Cabela's has some in match grade which is expensive and they occasionally have CCI, Remington, and Winchester, but the prices have gone up (I haven' been to Cabela's in 6-7 months so things might have changed). At the local gun shows people have it on their tables but they want 10-15 cents a round. If you check Gunbroker today there are at least 1300 plus 22LR offers but nobody is bidding on them since they are also asking for that much or more. One theory I've heard is Preppers are buying all they can because they feel it will be the new currency after our economy crashes and we will go to a barter system. What are your thoughts on why this is still happening or is 22LR cheap and available in your area?
