Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Its cause they don't fucking care about us. Why doesn't anyone get that. It's cool though 1/2 pay, I'll just go fuck myself.
They say they'll back pay us, better bonus pay us as well.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I got paid yesterday but I get to work as well.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
If our wonderful Government really closes down especially starting with this coming weekend, I wonder how many gun dealers across the Nation will get a busy signal or an unanswered phone call when attempting to get the required background checks for their firearm transfers. I do believe that some States still go through the FBI.
Well, it affected me this weekend. Our National Guard budget allowed us to train Friday, but without a signed C.R. or budget resolution, we had no money for Saturday and Sunday.
While it was signed at the last minute, we had to cancel our training at Fort Carson as we didn't think we would get the funding on time, so no M2 range qual, no M249 range qual, no M203 range qual, no shotgun qual. We were able to squeak out the M9 range on Friday as the range used is actually owned by the Colorado National Guard and the civilians who run it are paid by the state, not the feds.
We had no money for salaries, no money for gas for the HUMMWV's, no money for the porta-johns and trash pickup, no money for the food.
So, we will try to tack the missed training on down the road, if we can get time on the ranges and get ammo.
I personally will lose out on my Guard check, which I was hoping to pay a portion of my taxes due with it. I'll have to think how to pay them without that funding.
I am tired of the bickering between the dems and the repubs. I am tired of being a pawn in their games.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
And more and more citzens are getting tired.
The revolution of the American people ain't that far off.
