BERETTA TO BOLT MARYLAND IF DEM GOVERNOR'S ANTI-GUN BILL PASSES We're quite sure the state of Texas will welcome you with open arms. On the production floor of Beretta USA sits a hulking new barrel-making machine ready to churn out the next object of obsession in Americas love-hate relationship with guns: a civilian version of a machine gun designed for special operations forces and popularized in the video game Call of Duty. ... Beretta, the nearly 500-year-old family-owned company that made one of James Bonds firearms, has already invested more than $1 million in the machine and has planned to expand its plant further in Prince Georges County to ramp up production. But under an assault-weapons ban that advanced late last week in the Maryland General Assembly, experts say the gun would be illegal in the state where it is produced. Now Beretta is weighing whether the rifle line, and perhaps the company itself, should stay in a place increasingly hostile toward its products. Its iconic 9mm pistol carried by every U.S. soldier and scores of police departments would also be banned with its high capacity, 13-bullet magazine. Why expand in a place where the people who built the gun couldnt buy it? said Jeffrey Reh, general counsel for Beretta. Concern that the company will leave, and take its 300 jobs with it, is palpable among state lawmakers who worry it could be collateral damage from Gov. Martin OMalleys proposed gun-control bill. Among other restrictions, OMalleys bill would ban assault rifles, magazines with more than 10 bullets and any new guns with two or more military-like features. Gun experts said its a near-certainty that Berettas semiautomatic version of the ARX-160, now only a prototype, would be banned under OMalleys bill. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/berettas-future-in-maryland-tied-to-states-gun-control-debate/2013/02/23/bcc56c62-7776-11e2-95e4-6148e45d7adb_story.html?hpid=z3See More

SHOTGUN!

Fxxxxxx New Guy? Welcome.

Be interesting to see how many of these over paid exec's are on the Obama donor list.

Just buy a trailer, hook up and go. That's how you learn.

I'll make you an offer if you'll bring it to Macungie.

Would that be Underdog? Haven't heard from him in a while.

Where are you located?

Was Coors still bootleg in 1980?

If you are 36, or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Bar...efoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! 1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! 2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents! 3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe! 4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! 5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig? 6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it! 7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are. 8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! 9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! 10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?! 11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards! 12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that! 13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores! And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place! See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970 or any time before! Regards, The Over 40 Crowd

Happy Birthday Big Guy. Only three more and you can get that drivers license.

With the Mack correct bellhousing and drive shaft length adjustment it will.

Maybe this means you can run them on a truck as long as you don't have anyone in the passenger seat. Ok to endanger yourself just don't take anyone with you. I remember a guy that was running caps on his DM's. When the first one came apart and took half the hood with it, he changed his mind.

Hope everyone can take the high road. Good people here. Welcome back to anyone that has left for any reason.

Hats off to Hatcity.

Confessions of a pizza delivery boy could make a good reality tv show.

In the United States of America, it's illegal to melt U.S. currency.

Some of those machines charge a fee. Some don't. Did you know it cost 2.4 cents to make a penny? About a $58 million loss last year. Our government in action.

Anything to do with brakes?

I'll vouch for that. I've seen you and the axe on your truck.
