ammo tax

[skeeter@ccia.com]

Now being the VP of our sportsmens club, http://www.zelienople-harmonysportsmensclub.com/ I get asked quite often why we don't raise the dues enough that it will filter out the riff-raff...ah...my response to them is ....you can be an assbutt and still have money...in fact, what if they were the only ones that could afford to join?..well this is somewhat the same as .adding a buck or $5 to a round of ammo...guess they figure the bad guys not able to afford ammo?...If we would turn on the news in the morning and not have to hear about some poor soul that just was the nicest person but got shot standing on the druggie hangout corner at 3am...(another wrong place,wrong time) .and people hearing about shootings all the time...so.. 'stop the guns' .....we will never stop crime with the soft hand we slap them with..in fact some legal issues I have been dealing with is a nephew that stole my mothers (his grandmom)..credit card and charged $11,000 worth of crap on has more rights than the lady that owns the card and they are wanting to pay the bill now..I am her Poa and she in nursing home and I asked credit card people why they not call someone when an 80 yr old woman is buying booze and paying for lap dances at a nude bar and make sure is ok..they say...'can't give you that information'..favorite words..can't give you that information...the crooks have more rights than the honest people..where are the lawyers???????...I mean the ones to help the good guys..oh and they will probably just write off as a loss and nephew walk free..with $11g worth of stuff...

I understand what you are saying about the privacy act crap. In mid-December I had an old friend get very ill that another fellow and I had been helping. (We had been driving him to doctor appointments for his prostate cancer and going blind from macular degeneration). He became very ill and we took him to the emergency room. They had him transported to another hospital 150 miles away. When we called to check on his condition, it was a no go since we weren't relatives. Finally he told them the other fellow should contact his family and we could check on his condition after that. Poor guy died on the 14th of Dec. If he had not been able to communicate his wishes that last time, he would have died without anyone being able to know how bad he was. He had lapsed into a coma a few hours after asking to have his relatives notified and never regained conciousness. WARNING: carry some type of instructions in your billfold in case you can not communicate after an accident.
