Did I tell people not to buy things? No I didn't. I basically was saying that the shelves in WalMart are literally filled (did I say 99%?) with foreign manufactured things and not buy there and try to buy elsewhere.

I'm done with you.

Actually that IS telling someone not to buy things, if what they want is at walmart, but none the less, I then asked you where you buy all your USA made mechandise, and you couldnt tell me, so Im not sure where you expect people to shop.

I'm done with you.
Grrrr, why do people have to get so angry at the littlest disagreement? If youre going to make a statement as strong as you did , which basically calls everyone who shops at walmart, or owns foreign goods,(which includes you apparently) not "into truly american things" youre going to have to expect some strong critisizm back. That said, Im sure theres plenty we could agree on, just not this, so lets all lighten up,eh?

People hear the lie long enough and they start to think that's what it's really about. And that's when you get HUNTERS deceived and in on the game. "Well, yeah, as long as I have my shotguns and my bolt-action (sniper) rifles, I don't see any reason why Joe Public needs to own an "assault rifle." Yep, there's a whole organization that's dedicated to ensuring hunters keep their hunting weapons while simultaneously putting the smack down on an individual's right to bear arms.
To the OP: I apologize for coming across so harshly. I should have addressed the matter in a completely different tone.
Let me ask a question, if I may. What makes your opinion more important than others who may value the constitution and the ability to own, as you call em "assault" weapons. I don't think hunters are decieved, most value the constitution and their right to bear arms. Note, it doesn't discriminate as to what kind or weather it is for hunting or protection. You sound like someone who shouldn't own a firearm as you get agitated too easily. Now whats with knocking the guy who posts an inocent question about a shirt he saw? You got issues MR. You sure set a great example for those who read the posts on this forum.

And to Mr. Uncle Matt: I will buy where I want as long as I have the choice to do so, this is America,I think I still have that right.
You guy's have an ax to grind? Don't take it out on someone who just asks a question about where to find a shirt.

Um, I may be wrong, but I think 7.62 was actually mocking hunters who are against assault weapons, so correct me if im wrong but arent you actually in agreement w/ his statement? I also dont think he was attacking the OP, I think he was attacking the message of the shirt, that suggest the 2nd amendment is for hunting, when its really about protecting citizens from a would be tyrannical govt.

What exactly is your question? Your apparent question is muddled. I never said my opinion was more important than anyone's. And I wouldn't disagree with anyone who values the constitution and the ability to own "assault" weapons. And it ain't "as I call 'em". If you were sharp enough, you would have noticed that the usage of quotations around "assault rifles" is an indication of what they (the anti-gunners) call 'em.

Hunters aren't deceived? Really?? First, it should be OBVIOUS that I didn't mean ALL HUNTERS. Regardless, as to your ignorant statement, perhaps you should look into the trojan horse that is the American Hunters and Shooters Association.

I never knocked the guy, I knocked the statement on the crappy t-shirt. But I can see how someone as dim as you could get confused so easily. As I stated above, it's a vital issue that, when misrepresented, gets me agitated. I'm quite tired of the B.S. surrounding it.

Now as for me having issues and you determining that I "sound like someone who shouldn't own a firearm," from a POST on the INTERNET, not knowing a THING about me, shows your true colors and the depth of your stupidity. I guess you'll be toasting it up with your fellow gun grabbers the next time they are successful on yet another infringement.

I think my point went way over your head. You do not have a choice. Look at something like a TV or a microwave. You have NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY (AND SUPPORT) A FOREIGN COMPANY (i.e. country). And it is pretty much ditto with everything from your socks to your toothbrush. Other countries dump it all here. What do they buy from us?

It's upside down just like most peoples home value vs. mortgage right now, car loans etc...

But it'll be alright. We can just print up some more money or borrow some more from China.

I have to laugh when these politicians and law makers start their BS of labeling certain firearms as "assault weapons".

When one human starts shooting at another with any firearm it is an assault weapon!

It wasn't the foreign countries that invented the microwave, automobile, personal computer, television, etc...It was America. We are too smart to manufacture these items. Thats just the way it is. The best use of American knowledge is to innovate, not manufacture. Made in China doesn't mean a chinese company. Lands End, LL Bean, Orvis, etc all rely on foreign labor to produce goods. And its ok. Even Filson has foreign made items. But, if its economically feasible it works.

Look at Fender guitars, you can't get more American than that...American made Stratocaster costs about $1,200. Mexican made costs around $500. Parts are almost identical, little better finish on a few of the American model, but that's about it.

Empowering developing countries increases demand on American products. Which equals $in our pockets..

As for being upside down on mortgages, you can thank the govt, banks, and realtors for deregulation and over speculation...
