On the Alabama Legislative Calendar for 05 May 2009
According to the ALISON Database (30 April 2009 20:40) the following bills (apparently should they choose to get to them) will be under discussion in their respective chambers on the 5th of May, 2009. Please take the time to contact your representative(s) and senator(s) and let them know what you think. Yes, it has not changed one bit in several days.
Bills on the House Schedule for Legislative Day 26 (05 May 2009)
HB362 - Storage of Firearms in a Motor Vehicle - with one substitution
The substitution exempts railroads from the provisions of this bill. It is not like adding them to the exemption list is a big deal. There are many others like, "(2) An employer providing employees with a secure parking area which restricts general public access through the use of a gate, security station, security officers, or other similar means which limit public access into the parking area." Which means anyone who has a gate and a fence can ignore this legislation.

HB362 - Storage of Firearms in a Motor Vehicle - with one substitution
The substitution exempts railroads from the provisions of this bill. It is not like adding them to the exemption list is a big deal.

Which means anyone who has a gate and a fence can ignore this legislation.

Church of G.O.D. (Gun Owning Disciples)
Kaveman over at Days of our Trailers had a brain wave awhile back and came up with the sporty idea that as religion is constitutionally protected as are the relics unique to said religion, one should be able to form a church, declare firearm(s) as one of the religious relics and thereby make any further attack on personal ownership moot. This church is aptly called the Church of G.O.D. (Gun Owning Disciples) and I am one of them. Actually, I have always been one of them, now it is certifiable.
For the princely sum of $12 sent to Mr. Kaveman, you receive, in turn, a lovely certificate, a wallet card (I modded the back of mine to list the four rules and will laminate it for carrying along with my Concealed Carry Permit) and membership in the church.
Again, I think this is tremendously clever and shall be mounting my certifiable upon the wall directly. You ought to travel over to the link above and read about it from the source.
BTW, for those of you who are curious or just wish to be a pain. I was, am and will ever be Christian. This particular church does not worship firearms nor any of the mayhem that they may cause or be associated with.

Kellene has taken the time...
to talk about how the .gov, MSM and others with agendas alter the facts (lie, cheat and steal) to make their point. It is a little lengthy, but worth the time.

Got here from a link to another...
post from Kellene over at Women of Caliber that links over to Hsoi... Therein lay a youtube of Metallica which got me back on the path to...
Rammstein... True the first song I heard from them was Du Hast... and my German is too slow to keep up, but I got the concept. And, I think it is funny. Also true that this lies a bit afield from my current standard listening habits, but is fun to cross over (to the past) once in awhile.
Or... from Linkin Park
Or... throw some KORN in the way
Or... from Iron Maiden
"Ozzie and Randy had something to say too"
And then back around to... Metallica
"Don't overlook the Idol..."
"Before that there was..."
"But it started somewhere around here... AC\DC
"No Matter what... David...
But one of the prettiest songs ever is here...

Read the following and form your own opinions. It is in the results from a GPOAccess search using the term "Gaza". It appears to me that 20 million plus has been set aside (yes, over two months ago) to assist in the emigration of those who wish to leave Palestine. This is just one more thing that makes me believe that no one person could ever understand all of our "laws". And, I will have to read on the Constitution some more to figure out where the "power vested in me by the Constitution and laws..." actually allows for this sort of behavior.

More on the illegal guns post from earlier...
I have had this thought ruminating about my skull for the last few days and every time that I am on here... I have other things running.
We keep hearing about the firearms that are confiscated at Mexican crime scenes that originate in the US. Why do we not keep hearing about the "imported" criminals we keep rounding up at US crime scenes? Which, incidentally, is anywhere that they are rounded up... being illegal and all. I mean really, how is it that inanimate objects controlled by mammals become more of a story than mammals controlling inanimate objects? Yes dear, that is also a rhetorical question.
This whole line of thought begs the question... who/what is in charge? Is it the humanoid behind the gun or the gun in front of the humanoid? IMHO... Larry the Cable Guy says it best. If Smith & Wesson et al. can be sued for the deaths caused by their firearms, then Hustler magazine can be sued for my wrist developing carpal tunnel syndrome and my pencil manufacturer can be sued for me misspelling werdz.
So again I say... they are mad about firearms flowing South. Good. I am mad about undocumented, illegal, law-breaking (department of redundancy department) migrants flowing North. How about we all work together to stop the bi-directional flow of things/objects/persons that chap our @sses?
Sounds like a viable "fence" is needed on both our parts. How about DHS work out a plan with the .mx to build two independent and secure nations that do not revolve around removing people's rights... instead of profiling those whom they should hope would be on their side?

On the Alabama Legislative Calendar for 23 April 2009
According to the ALISON Database (21 April 2009 21:05) the following bills (apparently should they choose to get to them) will be under discussion in their respective chambers on the 23rd of April, 2009. Please take the time to contact your representative(s) and senator(s) and let them know what you think.
Bills on the House Schedule for Legislative Day 23 (23 April 2009)
HB362 - Storage of Firearms in a Motor Vehicle - with one substitution
The substitution exempts railroads from the provisions of this bill. It is not like adding them to the exemption list is a big deal. There are many others like, "(2) An employer providing employees with a secure parking area which restricts general public access through the use of a gate, security station, security officers, or other similar means which limit public access into the parking area." Which means anyone who has a gate and a fence can ignore this legislation.

Sermon without a word
A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the preacher decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The preacher found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his preacher's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited.
The preacher made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the preacher took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone then he sat back in his chair, still silent.
The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead. Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting.
The preacher glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the preacher reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, 'Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon. I shall be back in church next Sunday.
'We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken.
The Lord is my Shepherd ----- that's a Relationship!
I shall not want ----- that's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ----that's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters -----that's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul ----- that's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness --that's Guidance!
For His name sake ----- that's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death--that's Testing!
I will fear no evil ----- that's Protection!
For Thou art with me ----- that's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me -----that's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine Enemies------that's Hope!
Thou annointest my head with oil ----- that's Consecration!
My cup runneth over ----- that's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my Life----that's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord -----that's Security!
Forever ----- that's Eternity!
Received this today via e-mail as well. Thanks Tom, probably sleep a bit better now. ;)

HB362 - Storage of Firearms in a Motor Vehicle - with one substitution
The substitution exempts railroads from the provisions of this bill. It is not like adding them to the exemption list is a big deal. There are many others like, "(2) An employer providing employees with a secure parking area which restricts general public access through the use of a gate, security station, security officers, or other similar means which limit public access into the parking area."

Yup, been doing the least that I could do...
I am going a fair bit back in time with this but I am tired of the distractions. If they want a Socialist utopia... lets get on with it.
Big Daddy "fires" the CEO of GM. Assures the American sheeple that their GM warranties are back by the US .gov and tells Dodge to be absorbed by Fiat or else. Oh yeah, and tells members of the banking community that his administration is the only thing standing between them and the pitch forks. At the end of all of this, Big Daddy proclaims that he sees "light". I say only from the blistering pit which issued him forth.
Banks that didn't want TARP funds to start with are not being allowed to pay it back.
Christian, conservative, caucasian, veteran who is over Big Brother = I am a terrorist, er... extremist. Isn't that special... meanwhile Ayers, et al, who have actually perpetrated crimes against this nation, are still moaning that they did not do enough.
Pirates of the Somali coast diversion. As I recall, our Secretary of State wanted desperately to send troops to Africa (Darfur) during her candidacy... seems like an easy in to me. This has intelligent friends proclaiming ground war (although they call it raids on pirate property) in Africa is a good idea. Trust me, we do not want Africa to unite against us --think children with machetes (and REAL AK-47s, as in automatic fire) that don't know anything else. That is scarier than the UN, Chinese and Russians put together. Another inane idea around candidacy time was Big Daddy wanting to go to ground war in Pakistan. I trust that his handlers have told him to back off as the Pakis are nuclear armed. I still maintain that forceful response to aggression (force on force) at the point of aggression is the only way to get these toads to quit it.
Speaking of the UN, secretary general needs to hush about our rights as American citizens, he has no clue.
Repeating the lie enough times to cause intelligent people who I know to ask me why we can't ban some guns to help the .mx with their problem... I refuse to even get started on this... again. No, the number is 17 (or less) not 90.
Warming up to the Cubans. great we are going to overlook all of that atrocious past behavior... Plus, we are going to push the CIFTA treaty as another back door effort to curtail second amendment rights. And today, I read about how the .dems were holding talks with the FARC and now they (FARC) are fixin' to make some demands of their own.
The Iranians are now making demands because they see us as the weak (insert derogatory term here) that we are. Oh yeah, the North Koreans are also. And, I read that we are possibly planning retaliatory efforts against Israel should they plan to preempt Iran. Who, along with the North Kos, are spinning the centrifuges a little bit faster today. Oh yeah, and Big Daddy bowing so low to the Saudi royalty I thought he was going to blow an MCL.
And, there are things I am leaving out... mostly because this list is already long enough. So, let me ask a question... With all of this weakness being shown to the world and all of the discussion around firearms restrictions and all of the devaluation of the US currency and ALL of the distractions being presented to us, what is the end game? Yes, dear... the question is rhetorical in nature.
