  3. While we all are aware of Australia's draconian firearms laws they did have the courage to get tough on this issue. You can check Snopes and verify that this is legit. Read on... This is true and can be checked at http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/australia.asp Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia: one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option", Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off". Basically, people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia . However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. And as Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture." He continued to say, "We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us." Referring to the national flag, he commented, "If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others." His closing comments were, "This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'. If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted." Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths! If you agree please SEND THIS TO EVERYBODY YOU KNOW
  4. My brother and I are in the wholesale business. Little family company. Two trucks, straight rigs - not semi's and a couple of 1 ton vans. Two weeks ago one of our trucks got stopped by DOT for a safety check. They went through everything and could not find anything to write up. Finally wrote out a ticket/violation for "no spare fuses". The kid gets back and tells my brother Jim about it. Jim has been calling down (I'm not making this up) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two weeks trying to find out what the fine is so we can pay it and not get whacked for paying late etc. No one can tell him. Only thing he was told was "it has not been turned in yet, you will have to call back". Finally he gets fed up and tries some other numbers etc. Gets passed around until he finally gets to some woman who asks him what the ticket number is. He tells her and she says "oh - there's no set amount on that, you will have to appear in court". He says "I have to drive down and go to court for no spare fuzes?" She says "no, not you - the driver". So we lose the driver for a day on the road and he goes into court "for no spare fuses" instead - how damn funny is that!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HAVING NO SPARE FUSES....HOW DO YOU PLEAD? On a more serious side we have people in this country illegally that openly protest on the streets with impunity. What gives?
  5. Don't know the local sheriff at all and he's not a real pro firearms type. I hunt and fish with the sheriff of another county in my state. Could my friend, sign off on a transfer or does it have to be the sheriff from my county? Thanks inb advance for any time spent in response. It's appreciated.
  6. Welcome to the MP/STG44 club. Historice weapons and fun to shoot. Actually I enjoy spending the winter hours in my workshop loading ammo for it.

  8. Here's a link to an interesting ABC News Poll. Scroll to the bottom of the page and cast your vote. I suspect they are seeing "unintended" results ........... http://www.wjla.com
  9. Please cut-and-paste the following link, then read the article. Scary, what these anti-gun folks are thinking! After reading the op-ed piece, I followed the bottom links to other articles and the letters-to-the-editor, they were very interesting and are worth your time to read. http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...0310/-1/OPINION
  10. Just breaking on the news. Gunman described as a young Asian American Male has opened fire and has killed at least 30 people. I cannot even comprehend how someone could do something like this. What the hell is wrong with society today. Being who we are it's also impossible to wonder what the effect of things like this will have on our 2nd. Amendment rights. Remember the kids and faculty at VA. Tech. in your prayers.
  11. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS A Rigid orthodoxy, usually of a doctrinaire liberal tilt, which precludes the acceptability of a contrary viewpoint and allows those who insist on raising a contrary view to be ridiculed, shunned, denounced, attacked or silenced.
