    How many times does your income get taxed?

    So we pay income tax, it comes directly out of our paychecks. We have no say where the money goes, and what it will help pay for. Then when we go to spend the remaining amount we get taxed again. Same thing, we have no say where the money goes. Income my grandfather made over his life was...

The gun was insured for $250.00 dollars, the deductible was $55.00 (the...

    Straw Sale

    I bought a Beretta Stampede in 45LC. The intent is to give it to my father as a gift (Christmas gift) I was proud of my life accomplishments, a few years ago I could not afford a beauty like this, atleast without saving up for it. Now I can. I know now to watch what I say, this is why. So...

    Guns - Don't ask, don't tell?

    The subject of firearm ownership is one that I hardly bring up in my personal life. I mean I bring it up with range buddies and close friends, but everyone else I know, especially co-workers know nothing about my ownership or cwp. I know some people at work that are very mouthy of their gun...

    A candidate that spoke little to no english, was fluent in another language, but met all criteria to become president (almost impossible, but hey this is TFL) Here is the kicker, you agree with him/her on more topics than any other candidate, that includes, the 2nd, border security, the...

    Cigarettes on TV

    So the discussion of freedom of speech while advertising came up in the last thread. It was a good discussion I think. So why can cigarette companies NOT put ads in the paper or TV...but alcohol companies can...People who die while DUI die a more violent death and have the ability to take out...

    When did bad become good?

    Question is geared toward our youth. I know that defying your elders has always been natural for the young.. But the youth now resort to murder and drug use/sales..what is it? Is it a result of bad parenting from the hippy era? Things being labeled taboo and sparking an interest?

    Police officers and video cameras.

    Why is that some police officers demand they not be video taped, and even threaten charges if the person with the camera does not comply? Is this even legal?

    Smaller lower class = Weaker military?

    As we all may know (don't fight the truth) the majority of people who enlist, do so because of financial reason. Listen to any recruiter, when listing the good, the first thing they will list off is the help with education. $$$$ or lack of it is what powers our war machine. The question of...
