      Very cool footage. Imagine how terrifying that must have been. Without opening up a can of worms I will just say... That it would be a disgrace to those men to allow anyone to take away my constitutional rights after the price they paid. Proud to be American, and not afraid to say it.
      Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

            But that doesn't make you right, just paranoid.
            You never answered Dave's question.

              The list is endless, as most young people think that because they are not in Jail they are free.
              Constitution says Gov. is to protect our rights. The Gov. does no such thing they just slowly take them.

                    There has been a lot of talk lately about the restrictions, Confiscation, and registration of firearms. I am a 20yr collector and I have never hurt anyone in my life. I don't even hunt because I find no sport in extinguishing a life. Why should I be made out to be a criminal overnight? Indulge me for a moment while I fill in a few of the blanks..My grandmothers maiden name was Coolage, as in Gen. John Coolage (Revolutionary war), as in former US president Calvin Coolage. Great grandfather killed in action WW1, Grandfather Fought the Nazi's in WW2, My Father shot out of Vietnam. I feel as though we have a rich tradition of service to this country. My fore fathers felt that our right to pursue prosperity, and right to bear arms (among others) were valuable enough to fight for and I exercise these rights and I never pass up an opportunity to thank a veteran for there service. The price for these rights has been set...and it has been paid. Period! not for use as grand standing fodder for slimy money stealing faggot politicians like Andrew Cumo here in NY. No Politics...Just sharing personal views.. my 2 cents.. Thank you

                        Sonny its not Mario its his son Andrew, Guns are not the only right. They would take boat racing also if you let them. In some places they already have. And one way is the two stroke thing.
                        Go away snow I have to much work to do to get ready for Winter Haven.

                            With all due respect, "I am a Vet" and Political Party is irrellevent, we have lost race sites of all types of racing because people with money and power don't want us on their lakes and neighborhoods, I mean come on, we lose sites due to people that buy property and then want to change things that have been going on for decades!
