Owners should also be expected to keep track of their weapons. This means no private, unrecorded sales. You sell a gun to someone without arranging a background check or registering the sale so you are no longer listed as responsible for the weapon, you get slapped with a hefty fine and lose your other weapons. If that untracked sale leads to the gun being used in the commission of a crime, you’re held criminally responsible for enabling the weapon to be used in the crime. And the theft of weapons needs to be reported immediately upon discovery.
If a person discovers their gun is stolen because they haven’t checked on it for a period of months, they shouldn’t be allowed to own any weapons, since they’ve demonstrated that they aren’t capable of sparing a few moments a day to check and make sure the weapon is safe and secure. Ownership of automatic weapons should be allowed, but home storage forbidden. Keep them at a gun range with federally approved security for storing your weapon. People buy automatic weapons because they’re fun to shoot, not to defend their homes. This will help keep the streets safer, since it’ll be a bit difficult to remove the weapons from the range without arranging such.
No more irate postal workers shooting up their coworkers with full auto weapons. And if the place gets broken into, the cops will no exactly how to respond to the crime scene. So why don’t you run for office on the “common sense” platform? Put your money where your mouth is, instead of being like Rush Limbaugh? Afraid to take a cut in pay or to defend your ideas against zealots? (you know, those people who’ll make you a believer in gun control…) Because I can’t afford to run for office.
I’d have to be making quite a bit more money than I am now to be able to just afford local elections for the county government around here. Then you need to establish a record with one of the parties (to which I desire have no association), and then struggle your way through the ranks until you reach a position where you actually have some real influence. If I started now, I’d reach that point just about the time I was ready to retire. Hell, taking Charlton Heston’s place as leader of the NRA might be easier.
Do you have room under your beds for storage? If you use a standard frame bed, you could build/buy a few small boxes that can slide in and out from under the bed, much like a trundle bed. Reorganizing your closets might work to. I doubled the hanging space in mine by removing the hanging rod, raising up, and installing one below it. (Measure to make sure your stuff on’t drag on the floor). Also, you can get storage racks that hang behind closet doors, they’re great for stuff you need to easily access but need to keep out of the way, ie shoes, etc. I saw some suggestions for making more space in an apartment somewhere on the web. You could use the ceiling.
Side tables that can be covered with fabric and stuff stored under there. if you own the house, maybe you can put in banks of drawers/shelving into the walls somewhere (we have it built into the wall next to the stairs–bookshelf blt in under the stairs). can you put up an extra shelf high in the closets you have? low, wide units for under the windows? install a cabinet sink instead of a pedestal sink (or make a skirt for around the sink)? do you need all 4 bedrooms? can you make one into a storage room? Pat have you considered getting an under bed storage unit?
If Peerless gains acceptance, a process that will take a year or two at minimum because of the lack of consumer-electronics connections today, Iomega’s sales would increase dramatically. Presumably, its valuation would rise, as well. Based on today’s price-to-sales ratio of 0.66, IOM stock could rise geometrically in relation to today’s value. An Iomega buy is a speculative long-term position based on the expectation that Peerless will find a home in the home digital-device market, not something investors should expect to see gains from in the next six months, next year or ever. That said, at these prices and considering the potential demand for high-capacity storage in the home during the next decade, IOM is a speculative buy.
I’m looking to make my own small-capacity (about 50 bottle) wine storage unit. The commercial units I’ve seen cost from $600-800 USD for this capacity range, which is over my budget, so I thought I could construct a unit myself and save money. I can construct an insulated carcase, no problem. The problem is finding a cooling unit. The only ones I have found (Breezair, WhisperKool, etc) are for a much greater capacity than I am seeking, and are priced accordingly.
I’m waiting for the part where you show us from Scripture where Jesus or God tells people to hoard supplies so that, in the event of such an Armageddon as you allude to, the Saints will still be hale and hearty in their well-armed shelters while their heathen neighbors starve and cannibalize each other. Last time I read the NT, Jesus “had no where to lay his head” and his followers lived by the charity of neighbors and the grace of God, and spent most of their time inveighing against the hypocrites who foolishly believed they could hold off the Day of Judgement by their own efforts. Besides, what of Joseph’s counsel to the Pharaoh?
