As Shooting Enthusiasts who are supposedly on The High Road, it sure would be nice if we were a United Front instead of a bunch of in-fighting
children. Does it make you feel good to knock-down someone who is handicapped? Probably not. If we met at a shooting range would you immediately sense that I was a "damn Kalifornian?" Probably not. Ever heard of the Golden Rule? Please think before you "throw stones" at Californians...at least the ones who are Pro-2nd! :rolleyes:

Californian native here -very rare species. Travelled thru and lived 'bout 30 countries so far as well as most of the States. Still come back to No. CA because it's my home and it's a beautiful place to live. Best thing about CA is that you can find people from all over the rest of the USA and the world, and we welcome you.

As I keep reminding everyone, WE Californians buy approximately 30% of all civilian guns here in the USA. Without us contributing to the volume, the rest of the USA would be paying much more for their shootin' irons.

Californian gun owners do our share of the 'heavy-lifting'.

[spacemanspiff]

yeah sure you kalifornians buy a lot of this countrys guns, but we get to buy the really cool ones. you know, the ones you drool over that are not on the approved list of guns that can be bought in your state?
hahahahhahaa, neener neener neener!
:neener:

its not that we dont like you gunnys that are from kali. you all are more than welcome to move to gun-friendly states to reside as our neighbors. in fact, you all should move, before kalifornia slides into the ocean at armageddon.


Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any -ing time. Any -ing day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and Fret for your car.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded shipdits.

Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz I sure could use a vacation from this
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be. Learn to swim.

Time to bring it down again. Don't just call me pessimist.

Yeah, we may envy you for your cool black toys every now and then, but I sure don't envy the long months of snow and sub-freezing temperatures you get up there in Alaska.

Nor do I envy the disproportionate men to women ratio you have up there. Isn't it something like 3 men to every 1 woman??? More like 50 men to every one normal good looking, non-wool wearing, un-hairy chested tree hugging freaks you have running around.:neener:

I'll really envy you every time I stop to get a cappuccino gawking on all the beautiful selection of women that bounce around in that "cold" 80ish wintertime weather. And as I'm on my way to shoot my grandfathered AR, 50 cal, or Galil sniper, I tell myself, "damn, why didn't I move to Alaska".


Just Kidding, I just recently went to Alaska, and it is a beautiful state. If it wasn't for the family ties and the feeling of tucking tail and running. I'd leave Kali too. But this state has a lot of greatness in it. We just have really crappy politicians, but you know, some of the other states out there are catching up real fast. (I mean you NY, Hawaii and etc):neener:

Spacemanspiff; what is the source of the long bit of verse in your post?

Just curious.

[Sindawe]

I do know the origins of the verse he posted. They are the lyrics of the song Aenema, off the same titled album by the band Tool. While Tool is not to the taste of many, more than a few find their dark, intelligent lyrics and complex melodies to be quite pleasing. The cut in question is one of my favorites from the album, along with Die Eier Von Satan. Spoken in German with crowd noises in the background, it sounds like an empassioned political speak by a faciast tyrant, but is actually a recipe for cookies. :D

Alaska and Arizona... gun nut paradises. Interesting how they both have extreme climates as well. Seems to attract (or run out?) the same types of people.

I'm a native "zoner" myself. :)

[DMK]

I have no problem with anybody from any state, unless you're in politics. Yea, they all start out trying to make a difference and make it a better place to live, then the power goes to their head and they pee on the little guy. You're not a politician are you? :scrutiny:

"This is Jim Rockford; at the tone, leave your message" I love that show! Anybody who calls his dad Rocky is just too cool! :D

That's a lot better than I would have expected from... I mean, we all really appreciate your contribution. Seriously, especially considering that it's not as easy for CA residents.

[Don Gwinn]

What in the world are you talking about?

[Standing Wolf]

I lived a decade in the People's Republic of California, and met some likable, admirable fellow gun nuts and conservatives. I'm sure I'll always miss them, the beaches, the scenery, and the climate—but there were far too many leftist extremists and illegal aliens for me.

Take it back, Californians!
