    The story of pistols. The history of small arms. http://www.cneat.ru/bullet-3-en.html

    The maleficent American shooting school has a strong negative effect on the training and the morale of the armed forces (the customers) ??? ???the enemy needs not only to be killed, but to be torn apart???. A pistol is a standard weapon borne by the personnel of the force structures and the man-hating propaganda gradually becomes the philosophy of the whole society..

    Granted there is a difference between rural and urban uses and the need for guns. I feel that i need one for protection much more in an urban area than at home in a rural area. More gun laws are not necessary. If judges and politicians would enfore the laws that are already on the books a lot of our problems would go away. My family lives off of wild game because we like it, not because we can't afford to go to the grocery store. No gun owner in their right mind should even consider voting for the Obama/Biden ticket. This is a proven fact - politicians will say whatever they think you want/need to hear in try and get your vote. What comes out of their mouths is meaningless. Check their past voting records. Obama and Biden both have voted for the majority of the gun control bills that have come through Washington during their respective tenures. Both have an "A" rating with the animal rights groups. This does not bode well for anyone associated with firearms, hunting, Wildlife Mgt or the livestock. industry. On the other hand McCain isn't perfect either. Sarah Palin shows the most common sense approach of any of them to the aforementioned industries and activities. If you care anything about firearms and hunting , the McCain - Palin ticket is the only way we can vote. To vote Democrat may very well be suicide for the way of life we love and cherish.

    I believe Sarah palin brings good, commom-sense views on the proper use of guns and hunters in wildlife management, and is correct in supporting the rights of law abiding citizens to defend themselves against the thugs the Democrats refer to as another "disenfranchised group." Don't forget that hunters also make a huge contribution to the economy: I believe they spent over $11 billion on their sport for equipment, lodging, and transportation, and this is one industry that cannot be outsourced! Of course, our National Parks System is totally off-limits to hunting of any kind---a bit of a shame when you have thousands that would PAY for the opportunity to hunt an animal the government PAYS PROFESSIONAL HUNTERS hundreds or thousands of dollars to kill to keep the ecosystems in-balance. This is a waste of taxpayer money, and the hunting seasons usually coincide with periods of very light use by the general public anyway. Why not turn it into a MONEY-MAKING opportunity for the Parks System, which has to scrap for every dime Congress gives them?

    As for having a gun for self-defense, 40 years of "jello-mold" social engineering has given us several generations of hardened criminals that have absolutely no concept of right or wrong---or that their actions WILL and SHOULD have consequences that match their brutalness of their criminal actions. The anti-gun activists have been whipped into a frenzy by zealots who proclaim they're only after outlawing this or that type firearm because it is "more deadly" than the others, but statistically speaking, HOSPITALS and AUTOMOBILES are MORE DEADLY THAN ANY OT THESE SO-CALLED "DEADLY GUNS"-----but where is the outrage against the HOSPITALS and CARMAKERS????? I guess because of some of the cozy advertising and marketing ploys of "managed health care and auto makers, maybe these "radical" views have been declared "off-limits " by the media. With all of the career criminals let loose by our liberal courts and our unwillingness to hold PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, we CAN and DO need guns to protect ourselves. The police can't be everywhere, and even when they DO catch the bad guys, they end up back on the street in just a few hours anyway. Sarah Palin and the others of us--- like her--- believe in finding our helping hands, not in the form of a government handout or promise, but at the end of our own two arms! Those two hands SHOULD be ABLE and ENCOURAGED to tote a gun, if they feel the need. Rugged individualism and self-reliance are the traits that settled this great country and made it great------not total dependence on the government for everything.

    Good grief -- with two wars, failing schools, no health insurance and a dying economy you'd think people would have more on their minds than showing off bloody animals to small children. Hunting won't be a true sport until the animals are issued Uzi's, IMHO. But this is not the year to talk about gun control. Frankly, I'm more concerned about China buying off U.S. assets. If it keeps up, gun control won't be an issue because Chinese law forbids private gun ownership.

    If she wins, it will be mandatory for all of us to carry handguns into bars.

    It makes me angry that hunters are so selfish that they would resort to killing off the other hunters ( wolves and bears ) to satisfy their own sadistic fantasies. People wonder why animals go extinct. Well take a look in the mirror pal , It's us !

    HEY WE CAN USE JOHN McCAIN'S MIDDLE NAME(SIDNEY) AND JOE BIDEN'S MIDDLE NAME(ROBINETTE) OR EVEN SARAH PALIN'S MIDDLE NAME (HEATH) BUT YOU BETTER NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT MENTIONING BARACK OBAMA'S MIDDLE NAME BECAUSE IF YOU DO THEN YOU ARE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE ! IT IS HUSSEIN ! THAT DON'T SCARE ME BUT HIS POLICIES DO !!

    According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers ... and then there are educators . .i have to wonder how much longer the obama supporters will keep kissing the mirror

    It is obvious that the democrats and leftist liberals have never been to Alaska. I think that everyone should know not to poke a grizzly bear with a stick and wake it up because it will be very angry and attack! Now factor in a cub that???s there and you???ve really got a problem! This is what the liberal has done by attacking Sarah palin and her daughter Bristol. She may have been hurt and had some resentment about accepting the v.p.offer, however now she is angry and will fight with all her might. she is a force to be reckoned with! She is very smart and not afraid to lay it on the line. Some politicians don???t go to certain areas against their opponents out of respect for the office and the need to work with them in the future. But Sarah palin don???t she will get rid of her problems by laying it all out for the world to see and the opponent will be eliminated! So watch this lady in action now and don???t be too surprised when she takes on the media or the biggest liberal organization out there! There will be heads rolling! P.s. Obama might have been to Alaska before because he said that families are off limits he may know a thing or two about grizzly bears!

    Sorry but people don't use handguns in cities for hunting. Wait, I don't even think moose live in the city. Just because you deal with hunters, not gangs in Alaska Palin, doesn't mean we do too. Have you ever seen a kid die from a gunshot wound? If not, you can come visit me in Cleveland and I'll show you one of many emergency departments here and all the victims of violence who get wheeled in those doors, never to come out again.

    You take care of Alaska well. Until you realize the rest of the country, please stay home.

    Re: Wolf and bear population reduction in AK
    The governor has the job of taking care of her constituents. Many of them cannot go to the corner grocery for a pound of bacon or to the corner McDonald???s for a burger. The have to go out and harvest it themselves. The predators, wolves and bears, are direct competitors for her peoples??? food resources.

    By the way, what???s exactly is wrong with trophy hunting? Trophy hunters also use the meat and the fees they pay take care of the majority of the costs of managing the game and fish populations in the US for everybody. To the tune of billions of dollars! How much has P.E.T.A. spent on making sure that there are animals in the wild? My guess, $0.00. Most all their funds are spent on big salaries and advertising. How much have YOU spent on taking care of wild animals? My guess, the same amount. I have spent not only a lot of money but volunteered my time along with a lot of other sportsmen to make sure that our children and grandchildren have animals to admire and hunt for many centuries. As long as the animal rights fanatics don???t make sure they disappear from the face of the earth.

    Your comments are ridiculous everyone who works in the Senate knows Joe Biden and sums him up as his own man even the Republicans call him a friend and yes he doesnt live the rich life, he beats by his on drum and yes finally he does take the amtrak train to and from work everyday. The truth can not be construed as lies, sorry
