FAQ: Are Barrett rifles legal to own or possess in my state?

From: http://www.barrett.net/support/faq

Are Barrett rifles legal to own or possess in my state? 
That depends. You may live in a jurisdiction that restricts caliber or magazine capacity. First, we recommend that you elect politicians who will change those laws. If you can’t do that, then we recommend that you move to an area that obeys the United States Constitution. In any case, we don’t offer legal advice on what you can or can’t own. Check with your local law enforcement official.

Here's another good one from one of their prices lists (http://www.barrett.net/pdfs/Price-List.pdf):
The California Legislature has banned the .50 BMG from its good citizens, violating their rights and the constitution of our republic. Therefore, Barrett will not sell to or service any California government agencies.

Ya gotta love Ronnie Barrett for standing up for what's right!

More taxes are not the answer

From my cousin via Facebook:

The more we are taxed the less we spend. Stop the handouts and make people succeed first. There is no motivation in USA to work hard anymore because the nation is setup(now) to give you a nice little bit of handouts to keep you moving. We as Americans need to get back to what made this country the great country it is - hard work. Whether that be in a factory, cutting grass, tool and die, or frying fries. We are not above those things however we seem to moving towards thinking we are! If you don't think we are - ask a teenager about working at McD's or cutting grass during the summer for money! They will tell you - Not a chance! Trust me - I educate them for 9 hours a day 5 days a week. They have sense of entitlement and it's only getting worse.

I think he said it very well.
