He has great ideas, but he's so far opposite of Trump, it makes me wonder if he's either timid or a time bomb.

I should clarify my statement...
I do not support anyone who wants "equality" in the form of socialism. I lived under socialism and so called "equality" for the part of my life and my family did for the entirety of the Soviet style of "socialism."
This country is founded on very specific principles, liberty, complete freedom and capitalism are all concepts that have worked well here and should be left to the subjugation of a socialist like Sanders.
We would all be much better off if people like him (and to the same degree Hilary) be disregarded from public consideration as their rhetoric only serves themselves and not the people. There is no equality and that concept should never be considered. Life, itself, it is not equal so why should we want politics and our very way of life to be equal to everyone else? The entire concept negates the very foundation of which the US was founded up on.
Sanders, like Hilary, have very few original ideas and of those ideas even fewer of them are crafted through actual desire to "make America great again" in fact I believe they want the exact opposite of that, which is national equality, which is more of what we've seen for the last eight years and its more of the same old non-sense that will lead this country into financial ruin.

Agreed. I like reading comments from people who think logically and with a sensible world view. There is still hope. :)

Unfortunately...can't be.
Just to add - history will always repeat itself, we have to strive to correct such actions.
When Sanders began his bid I had a chance to sit down with my grandmother, who survived WWII in Eastern EU, having half her family killed by the Nazi's and then living through the beginning and end of post WWII Soviet style "socialism" she told me very quickly that he gives the same type of bullshit speeches she remembered as a young girl/woman.
Freedom, unfortunately, is not free and requires everyone to do as much as they can, sometimes more.Last edited by voodoo_man; 10 February 2016 at 11:52.

I had lunch with my sister earlier and she asked me what I was doing for my 21st birthday, expecting a typical alcohol related answer. I replied with, "Buying a handgun and silencer, maybe an SBR, and then I'll probably have a few drinks to celebrate my purchases." I could sense she felt some animosity towards silencers when I said the word, so I asked if she had an issue with them. She said that she didn't think they should be legal, and thought they would only encourage people to kill others AND give them the ability to do it silently. My natural response was, "There's nothing silent about them", and asked if she had ever heard one in person or if she was basing her opinion off of movies and TV shows; of course it was the latter. I tried to get the point across as best I could but I feel words can only go so far with this topic. I'm hoping to take her out to the ranch within the next few weeks and let her shoot several different silenced rifles and handguns and HOPEFULLY change her point of view.
It really put things into perspective for me, as to how many people out there honestly think silencers actually silence gunshots, based off what they have seen in movies. If my sister, someone who has been exposed to hunting and firearms her entire life, has this unfortunate outlook, just imagine how many other people share her opinion.

My Congressman eeked out a primary victory and now he's been running around trying to reconnect with the voters. In any case he's still the chairman of the ways and means committee so anything that happens will have to go through him.

Sounds like you're on the right path to convincing her that silencers aren't the spawn of Satan. It's a shame Hollywood is so full of shit. Think of all the movies and TV shows where people are shooting unsuppressed then carry on a conversation at whisper level. Guess it wouldn't be as entertaining if at the end of shootouts everyone was deaf.

Ok, so with a few things now settled, how much longer until we can get cans and SBRs off the NFA list?

We got a 2 year window of Republican control. They have nowhere to hide. Anything they fail at is front and center.
They have bigger fish to fry I will admit but this could get tacked on to a bigger bill in the course of other action. Who knows. I will contact my congressman again about it.
