Where are we?
How do we get into a situation where the difference in politics define us? As Decmocats we are required to believe that women are in control of their body’s whereas we Republicans have to believe in “pro-life” . How do these decisons realate to what government is supposed to do for us?
More importnatly, why are relativity trivial issues like this key to either party?
Help me understand…

A couple of months ago I was in a gunshop and saw this awesome little pistol for $275. It’s like a miniature 1911 in 380.
FI Model D
Image shamelessly stolen from Star-Firearms – go there for many more details including the hi-res pic.
The one I saw was a Iver Johnson Pony. For a tiny little pistol in a 380 caliber, it felt perfect in my hand. Also, the slide was easy to operate which is good for my wife. Actually, I have my carry guns and I was thinking of this little guy for her. Of course at the time I didn’t know what it was so decided to go home and research it a bit before plunking down the cash. Never fails that by the time I decided to buy the thing, it was gone.
It appears another company has bought the Iver Johnson name, but clearly it isn’t the same company that made the gun that I want…. http://www.iverjohnsonarms.com
So, for the last few months I’ve been looking for one of these little pistols. A friend spotted a couple of of them on GunBroker however by the time you get them transfered I thought it was too much money. Haven’t seen one there since. Then last weekend I went to the gun show – primarily to look for one. I was surprised when one seller had 2 of them – one Iver Johnson Pony and one Star Model D! Alas – both were pretty poor condition and he wanted $500 for either. When I looked it up, the Iver in 90% was $250-275 according to the “book.” (PS: What is the “official” book for pricing guns?)
So here is my shout out – who knows where I can find one of these things at a reasonable price?
