So, as we are all totally aware, gas prices hit an all time high this summer. Many people went screaming to the dealerships trying to give away their pick-ups and SUV's in favor of some hybrid smart car that runs on left over bean burritos...and what was I doing as gas jumped over $4 a gallon. I traded in my 2002 Trans Am WS6. I felt the pinch to...I needed something that got better gas mileage so I bought a new Vette!
Last night, with the thought of Obama taking office, I realized that another American icon may be at risk...the assault rifle, so I went and bought an AR-15 (civilian version of the M16). Now I'm not some right wing Neo-Nazi, or backwoods hillbilly that goes home to my compound every night. This is something that I'll probably take to the range 3 or 4 times a year and put $50 worth of rounds through it for fun.
This I will tell you people, as I walked out of that gun shop carrying an AR-15 with two 30 round magazines and got into my 400hp Corvette a single tear of American pride rolled down my cheek and I could swear I heard the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background! America is Beautiful!

Wow, can you actually go into a gun store and get that AR-15? I want one, lol

I just need to pick up a lil more ammo. now that you mention it. I wonder if since he never mentioned banning ar's if they'll be importing that new baby beretta ?
so you push fire too ?
yeah go take a look at me and my girlchild; blackbeauty, with her custom tag since you gotta let em know when they're in the blowout zone.
Right on Sandee!
Bob, you sure can...at least until Obama takes over.
Re Ausetkmt...a person can always use more ammo! I'm sure AR's will be banned and the tax on ammo will go through the roof! Nice Car!
When you drive a Corvette....you don't need a gun....your already blowing everything away !!!
