Just too silly not to share, ;)

A new Nail Gun, made by DeWalt, has just been introduced.

It can drive a 16-D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards. This makes construction
a breeze. You can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.

Just get your wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back,



relax with a cold beer and when she has the board in the right place, just fire away.

With the hundred round magazine, you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading.



After a day of fence building with the new DeWalt Rapid fire nail gun,


the wife will not ask you to build or fix anything again.

Anyone care to comment...

Yeah - the 110th Congress is over. The 111th has started. Bills not voted on by the end of a Congress, get thrown out. So why post about it? It's history.

FWIW, I think it was a stupid bill; if someone brings it back, during this or another Congress, I'll oppose it.

If its just assault rifles then I see no problem with a ban

That's why it's so silly. You can't really define what makes an "assault" rifle. It's people who know nothing about guns, reacting to how it looks.

Besides, the fed has no place regulating firearms, that's a state, or maybe city jurisdiction.

And the legal/constitutional basis for private firearms, is all about their military potential - militias - not recreational or hunting use. If anything, they can regulate everything BUT "assault weapons".


I guess you don't understand that that is still their intention...

I honestly think "they" are a minority, even within the dem party, at this point.

I also think the current admin's too politically savy, or pragmatic, to want to open up that can of worms. Especially when the prez has gone on record, repeatedly, that the fed has no jurisdiction? I doubt they'll want to waste political capital on this one.

I could be wrong - like I said, if they bring it up again, I'll be opposing it.

The ammo-laser-ID thing, is much more on my mind, currently. Talk about stupid & impractical? But it seems to be getting traction.

Gun control is the ability to hit your target...
Crime control is putting criminals where they belong and keeping them there...

50 years of gun control laws hasn't stopped crime...

I'm ready for a new approach!

It's pretty obvious that criminals don't care about gun laws.

Insanity: Repeating the same behavoir expecting different results...
