The Romies, well they are beautiful. The Yugos? Ugly now, but when AK barrels are $150 for a stripped sewer pipe, these will look pretty nice. I hope its not necessary, and I hope the ATF signs those form 6 import docs for our wonderful importers, but I’m not holding my breath.

I would like very much to own a sporting arm suitable for use at these sporting events. By the way, I love the google ads for wine barrels and rain barrels, but they all have to be at least 16" long.

Doing a command line <i>wc -w hr1703.txt</i> comes back with the shockingly small count of 621 words. Short enough for even the dumbest congress-critter to read and understand before passing. It seems to exclusvly strike language from the federal code. Almost always a good thing in regards to individual freedom. This is exactly the bone I want my RKBA congressional majority to get behind. Let's all contact our critters and ask them to endorse it. If they are for "free trade" they ought to get behind this law that supports the free trade in overseas durable goods. ;) Surely if they are truly pro-gun, this law could easily be tacked onto the next “must pass” congressional spending bill. We need our “700 pound gorilla” to twist the thumbscrews a bit for us. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-1703
