January 22, 2013

When the Washington County Sheriff’s Office goes to order ammunition this year, a long wait is expected before the order arrives, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks....

I just love that you people are so naive about your own heros but can sure look up the junk on someone you don't agree with !!None of the stuff your heros do even rate a comment about but the minor things your opponents do, is a SIN..

Those were many years ago and he will tell you that he was a mess back then. He has changed now and has been married to the same wonderful lady for years. You can't hold things against people forever or we would all be losers. Everyone has made bad judgements one time or another, unless you think you are perfect.!!And what Ted said, that retired editor from the Des Moines Register threatened Boehner, the NRA, and others saying they should be killed and as far as I know, the FBI never even paid him a visit like they did Ted and Ted threatened to kill himself!! No one else.. Double standard??? YES.

Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Hmmm, thought he was just on TV the other day?? POS...

In September 2009, Nugent embarked on a hunt near Somerset, El Dorado County, California. He was accompanied by a guide and a cameraman, filming for his Outdoor Channel show "Spirit of the Wild.". . California Fish and Game wardens who watched the broadcast noticed that it showed Nugent killing a very young buck which had been attracted by commercial bait. Both the killing of such a young deer and the use of bait are crimes under California state law. On August 13, 2010, he pled no contest in Yuba County to two misdemeanors: illegally baiting a deer, and failing to have a deer tag signed by a government official after a kill. He was fined USD $1,750 by the court and was banned from hunting in California until June 2012. In April 2012 Nugent signed a plea bargaining agreement to plead guilty to two misdemeanors for illegally taking a bear after shooting one earlier at a bait station. He will be fined $10,000, banned from hunting in Alaska and on Federal land.

A little background on good role Ted...

He has had two wives and has eight children, including three out of wedlock in two liaisons almost 30 years apart. In the late 1960s, prior to his first marriage, Nugent fathered a boy, Ted (Mann) and a girl, whom he gave up for adoption in infancy. In 2005 Nugent was involved in a legal battle for not paying enough child support for a child he had out of wedlock in 1995.

In 1978, Nugent began a relationship with seventeen-year-old Hawaii native Pele Massa. Due to the age difference they could not marry so Nugent joined Massa's parents in signing documents to make himself her legal guardian.

He's a POS...

Ted Nugent gives a lot back to the society that made him famous and he knows and appreciates that. He helps underpriveledge kids alot. But you never took the time to look that up did you?? You are too busy wasting time slandering him. (As does the NRA help kids). The reason he stand up for us is he knows our hearts !!

Everyone knows the dems are the best ammo and gun salespeople, when they are in power. Also, they get everyone to join the NRA. It isn't silly when you read for the last year that the statement has been made numerous times that they want to get another gun ban going. Nevermind that bans do absolutely nothing to curb crime. BY THE FBI's own reports. Not FOX or CNN or some idiot that has taken a poll.

@Greek - Oh! Gun-owner TYPE #1. You only said "number-one". You need to be more specific (was that a "typo"?) ... I see little evidence of that in your unnatural man-love for the likes of Ted Nugent! ... I never said that you are a "hater and despiser", but YOU just did! ... If the silly paranoia-factor about Obama were toned-down a bit, there would be plenty of ammo for law-enforcement ...

I think the ammunition manufacturers need to work overtime or hire more people to keep up with the demand.. You know, supply and demand theory. But that would make your icon look better by upping the jobs numbers for the quarter and by your own words, I am a hater and despiser.

@Greek - "Number-one" WHAT? Sorry, even among the small, pathetic, and woefully misinformed lot of fanatic "gun-geeks" that post here daily, you are not a "number-one"! I'd give you a "five", right after Harley, Sticky, Stiffy, and what's his name! ... Hey, what d'ya think about the "survivalist" ammo-hoarders preventing law-enforcement from having adequate ammo supplies (that IS, after all, the subject of this TIMES article). Even in Alabama, law-enforcement has an adequate supply of ammo to take out crazy "doomsday preppers" who kidnap kids!

However, these incidents are not as isolated as they may appear. An NBC News survey of crime dockets and news reports across all 50 states reveals that, since Jan. 1, there have been at least 48 incidents in which guns have been discovered on students, in their bags or in their lockers.

There were at least five last Thursday alone: in Atlanta; Augusta, Kan.; Chicago; Raleigh, N.C.; and Winston-Salem, N.C.

The survey excluded incidents in which pupils were caught with toy guns; all of the weapons were handguns, rifles, BB guns or air rifles.)

So much for these parents being Responsible Gun Owners

Across the country, children are being suspended or arrested for having weapons on campus or buses on a daily basis. Police in Henrico, Va., were waiting at school for the little boy Monday morning after he allegedly threatened another pupil on their ride to Ratcliffe Elementary School. They found a handgun in his backpack, NBC station WWBT of Richmond, Va. reported.

The incident made national headlines Monday, as did a similar incident when a loaded gun was found in a pupil's book bag last month at P.S. 215 in Queens, N.Y.

@Stick - Any opinions on what "Oath-keeper" Sheriff Merritt is doing across the river? He is trying to convince other officials to join him in resisting ANY federal laws regarding guns! If you check the history books, this is called "nullification", and it was tried before with limited success during the civil-rights era of the 1960s ... I DO value your input - which I will probably have to dismantle later ...

@Sticky - Will you ever learn that you are NOT being "insulted" when someone calls your often erroneous assertions into question? ... Also, will you ever learn that you are NOT the "free-speech" sheriff around here? ... I said that if you are NOT a "vigilante", you have nothing to worry about. However, there ARE such things as "vigilantes", and they are NOT "well-regulated militia" members! ... Just heard that Chris Kyle (author of "American Sniper") was shot and killed earlier today at a shooting range near Fort Worth by a fellow-vet possibly suffering from PTSD ... How ironic that Kyle, who survived numerous attempts on his life as a sniper in Iraq, was gunned down here in the supposedly "safe" USA! ... I understand Kyle donated most of the procedes from his book to help vets suffering from PTSD. A shame! ...

Well clearly, IF I had access to the trace data that law enforcement has about the guns recovered in Chicago, I'd be able to tell you EXACTLY where they came from.

Yes, a good bit of guns criminals get are the result of "straw purchases." They get family members, or friends they know have zero criminal records to buy their guns. And, that shows how effective a universal background check would be. They already, under state law in California, require background checks for any gun that is transferred. They also still have the same amount of crimes involving guns.

Bottom line, if all you're going to do is insult anyone who disagrees with you, perhaps Art needs to issue you a "time out!"

@Sticky - But you can't say for sure, can you? Speculation is NOT "fact"! It is a FACT that many bulk gun deals involve "straw-purchasers" ... "Prepared"? For what? Your answer to that question might determine whether you are "paranoid" or just simply deluded!
