Just received my $1400

In the beginning I was against the stimulus, but I know many people need it since the government shut Down our economy. I have purchased guns, survival gear, reloading equipment. When I seen them give Egypt, Sudan, and a host of other countries MY MONEY, YOUR MONEY.
I say send me that check, I sure wont waste it. That is our money not the government. They are spending a very tiny portion on US citizens.

I was at my LGS/range yesterday. Fifteen people lined up waiting for 8AM opening, at least 40-45 in there when I left after doing NIC paperwork for a new Ruger 20 min. later. I wonder how many were there because the checks were being processed now, no one seemed to be "just looking' but seriously shopping. More ammo available, some limits, still costly, but at least a variety in many calibers/gauges.

One common thread I'm seeing in this discussion: no one is talking about saving the money. I think that is quite telling.

Perfect timing. My A/C just went out ! New one being installed this week.

They were spending that money anyway, as evidenced from the pork in the bill, at least I should get some of my tax money back.

The first stimulus was actually useful for us as the lockdowns mandated by the government cut our hours way back and ate a good chunk of our savings, but we're doing good now.

So a bigger generator, and a lot of money to 2A orgs (and that dogs surgery)

The one just passed was actually the 4th. Inauguration was January 20th, 2021, BTW.

From Dec, 2020

The U.S. has passed a third stimulus bill Monday night and an international comparison shows that it has been high time. According to an analysis by think tank Bruegel, the U.S. is the country currently offering a much lower level of coronavirus financial aid and stimulus than other developed nations. The bill's $900 billion in aid will up the level of stimulus from previously 14 percent (of 2019 GDP) to approximately 18 percent.

My vehicle knows knows when I have extra money.

Yes, well, IMO maybe one shouldn't refer to it "my $1400" but rather as "$1400 my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are lending me."

Got mine on Friday. New HK pistol and some ammo coming right up.

There is just too much off topic noise to keep this open.
