Meet One of My Guitar E-Friends! Willem Niehorster.

I LIKE this songer a lot.

He plays OK for a crazy European that also sometimes refuses to fret about things.

Grew up in Tejas, as much as anywhere, and still like Jimmie BETTER

Feel free to mock me. I saw both, live, a LOT. Different strokers for different folks.

Warning to Muslims who believe that the public space can be invaded without consequences.

For a number of years, certain of you Muslim gentlemen dare to regularly occupy the public space for your prayers.

This occupation, as you well know, is illegal, and is, as we well know, a provocation and a demonstration of force designed to show your domination in certain parts of France and your contempt for our laws and the secular nature of our country.

These politico-cultural demonstrations are in defiance of our institutions and our culture, they put our territorial integrity under pressure with the aim of forcing the construction of mosques, which are often financed by the money of non-Muslims¹ who then find themselves victims of gigantic rackets in which our elected officials are complicit.

Muslim militias and certain Muslims totally illegally block the streets to non-Muslims, preventing the citizens and residents from circulating, returning home or leaving their houses and the mayors say nothing, the police say nothing, the State says nothing.

Thus it remains for the French Nation, to the citizens themselves to take over because all their representatives have spinelessly bent over in the face of intimidation.

The message sent out by the French nation to the “praying” is clear:

Stop praying immediately on the public highway, it is illegal. Pray elsewhere, or don’t pray, we couldn’t care less about that. Nothing gives you the right to occupy our streets, you must respect our laws.

You are extremely lucky that the French (of all confessions and origins) are so patient and indulgent with you but in the face of your arrogant provocations, one day the limit will be reached.

Then there will no longer be time to whine about discrimination. You will have been the sole cause of your inevitable future troubles if you continue to defy our laws.

Who sows the wind reaps the storm. Stop sowing discord in France, stop occupying our streets and our towns with your inopportune prayers.

The Enemy Always Accuses Us of "Compensating"

I HAD too! I couldn't help it. Had to go with the shell, because the rifle wouldn't have fit in the picture ;-)

A Picture Worth THOUSANDS of words

From Small Arms Review, November 2010

"Among the many unknown provisions of the national mandatory healthcare law recently passed by Congress is language that will effectively create a natinal federal database of firearms owners...

...

Effective January 1, 2012...the national healthcare law requires all firearms dealers to report to the Internal Revenue Service al of their firearms purchases and any other goods valued over $600. This reporting requirement applies to purchases made from individuals. IRS 1099 forms will have to be filed in each instance, reporting the purchase by the firearms dealer.

The new regulations apply to all businesses that buy goods from individuals, not just firearms dealers. Thus the law will mandate firearms dealers to send in a 1099 form with the name, address, and presumably the Social Security number of the person that sells them a used gun. This personal identifying information with then be sent to the IRS who could use it to create a national database of firearms owners as most people who own guns usually own several."--Industry News, Robert M Hausman, "Hidden Gun-Owner Registration Scheme Revealed"

Perhaps they gave up on creating a National Registry for non-NFA items, and are taking an end-run with tax law, which would make sense, as the NFA came out of tax law. Register probable owners instead of each firearm.

Firearms laws in the US were written to prevent a registry of "who owned what firearm", excepting NFA items. They weren't written preventing the government compiling a list of probable owners...
