Why you may ask? Because my son Elijah (an even bigger videophile then I) just turn me on to what could possibly be the biggest movie of this summer! A return to the classic Monster Movie!
OH yes! Grab your jammies, your favorite pillow and a bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs 'cause it looks like it's gonna be a return to the classic Saturday Afternoon "Creature Double Feature"!!
Yes I will unashamedly admit I am a fan of those old cheesy, rubber suited monster of the classic ilk of Godzilla, Gamara, Rodan, Giant Robot and the like! (especially when accompanied by the commentary of Joe and his robot buddies on the Satellite of Love) But now with the assist of a mega budget special effect extravaganza and at the helm sits a master! In Juy of this year Guillermo del Toro brings us Pacific Rim!!
OH yes! I sure hope this become the next fad! I can just see it! The return of the double feature in eye popping 3-D!!
All the brain frying eye-candy a boy can take!
ANYWAY!!
Once again thanks to all for another busy, busy day! Not to mention all the kind words and accolades. Sorry to hear of some folks treatment of some of those "other" bike shops in town and I'm glad we could serve you to your satisfaction!
Once again we were swamped with repairs and special orders so that was the bulk of my day. Did manage to put together that sweet Specialized...but! It sold about three hours before it was finished. So....
Tomorrow will be more about building as we picked up even more goodies today! So keep an eye peeled for that good stuff!
Oh...and on a slightly (OK....BLATANT) political note...
I must say I have no love lost for the NRA but they sunk to an all time low with a recent add they released to help bolster their stand against the gun legislation offered up by the Prez..
Needless to say I am Appalled! But in retrospect I can only say "what else would we expect" The NRA is simply nothing more then a mouth piece for the gun manufactures.
That's it.
Period.
The President offers up a common sense approach to our rampaging gun problem but in no way does it take away our 2nd amendment rights. It merely makes it more sensible in a modern world to have guns in the hands of reasonable citizens. There is no call for the average person to posses AK-47's, Bush Master Assault Rifles or 60 round magazines, body armor or the like. Their are many more provisions that serve the same purpose.
Time for America to see the truth behind the gun hugging NRA's real motivations!
All right, I'm done...
'Till tomorrow folks!
I disagree. I'm a so called "gun nut" by most. I've been around firearms since I was 7-8 years old. There isn't much difference except looks versus other rifles. Example:

The second would be considered an assault weapon.
The politicians like to throw out numbers of those killed in gun violence when in fact many more are killed by hand guns and other items.

When are we going to ban knives and hammers?
I mean this is the truth of any "measures" taken.

As always we respect all opinions. When it comes to statistics I adhere to the old adage "87% of all statistics are made up" Sadly we have no idea the tru impact of gun violence s the HRA lobbied Congress years go to mke such research illegal. Yes. Google it. It's true.
ReplyDeleteLook, I used to carry a handgun years ago. I sold it when we had our first child. I don't deny any sane, responsible person the right to own a gun. But lets face it, the 2nd amendment is an archaic irrelevant relic. It was written to allow the citizens of the colonies the right to form militias in case their govrnment became corrupt and needed to be overthrown and rplaced with a new one.
The likelihood of tht happening in THIS day and age?
Nill.
And as far as a hammer or knife? A hammer can build and create. A knife can carve art or prep a gourmet meal. A gun serves one purpose and one purpose only, to kill. And what's wrong with limiting a person capability to kill?
As always we respect all opinions. Truth is we don't know the full effect of gun violence as the NRA lobbied the Congress to make it illegal to perform such research. Seriously, Google it.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is no denying the human compulsion to violence but what's so wrong bout limiting it's capability? Look, the 2nd amendment is an archic, irrelevant relic created to allow the citizens of the original colonies to rise up in the case that our government of the time becme a dictatorhip. The likelihood of such an uprising being sucvessfull today?
Nill.
And as far as the hammer and knife? A hammer can build and create. A knife can help cook a culinary masterpiece. A gun has only ONE purpose. That is to kill.
