Don’t Buy “The Iron Giant” Kids Movie
Just a quick note out to all my hunting/gun toting buddies this morning. I received an email from GunsAmerica this morning about a kids movie out on the market right now. The movie is called "The Iron Giant". Here's the email I received giving me a heads up on the movie.
Hi Everyone.

Your Kid Could Cause The Next Columbine

Remington Arms To Acquire Marlin Firearms
Wow, this just blew me away when I saw it on Remington's website.
I hope that Remington won't change too many things with the Marlin line. Remington and Marlin are two of my favorite gunmakers and they're both still making them here in the U.S.A. (yeah, I know about the Spartan line of O/U's, rotating block muzzleloaders made in Spain and the Serbian made 798's, but the main line is still made here) I hope they continue to do so.

Poaching really gets my Goat, but shooting animals and leaving them lay to waste really gets me hot under the collar. These a$$holes need caught and sent to prison where they belong.
