Many people in this great country are in a place of political and moral ignorance. The future of our country scares me for reasons just like this. I only hope that the advertisement gets Carmel some business and that those who rejected his sponsorship feel as truly stupid as this video makes them look.

This type of thing is far too common and just plain ridiculous. It seems like some people have their moral compasses out of whack.

I have coached Little League teams both baseball and basketball for over 20 years. Sponsorship dollars are hard to find. Different places in our country have different ideas. Here in rural WV I'm sure he would have gotten to sponsor a team. We haven't been exposed to the finer things and ways of life yet. People look at us as not being hipp, but in some cases I think we are better off. Over 75% of the boys on our baseball teams shoot firearms and hunt. Progress will probably catch up with us some day. I just hope it waits awhile. 007 can verify the info I just gave you.

That's ridiculous. I'm on the Park Board for the small town I live outside of and trust me, not only would we not turn down a sponsor like that the boys would fight to the death for the right to wear that company's name on their uniform. Any parent who objected to their son being on that team would get accomodated, only to end up on the team that got it's ass kicked all year because I guarantee you all the best players would love to be on a team sponsored by a gun dealer.

Typical knee jerk reaction to guns. Oh my... we can't have that... Used to be a major league team call the Colt 45's, you now know them as the Astros.

If it gets down to who is right and who is wrong here it is apparent that Mr. Carmel stood on the side of the right. Although he no doubt did gain some advertisement because of his kindness being rejected, I am certain his intent was to assist the little leaguers. Decades ago an old woman in Mississippi showed me a small caliber palm pistol which she had owned for years much like that of Constitutional Arms. I think it was labeled the "Chicago Pistol" although someone might want to correct me on this name.

I don't see anyrthing wrong with him sponsoring a team. I would have a problem with my little-leaguer wearing a jersey that says "Cluck U"

I agree with "focusfront"
I really don't think people really know where we're at.
I cannot believe Americans really think like this.

Used to be a fundraiser sporting clays shoot in a certain southern state that employed young women from strip clubs to pull and score targets. All the money (and it was a considerable amount) was given to charity. The charitable organizations found out how the money was being raised, and refused to take any more contributions from that club and group of shooters. Most of the board members of those charitable organizations could have found their way to the strip clubs blindfolded on a stormy night.

unfortunatly, our country has gone so far off course, that i am truly afraid we gun owners are going to be the last of a dying breed. we have had to many years of idiots like Dr. Joyce Brothers whimpering and carressing way to many people that everything will be all right, and there will never be an instance where force or viloence will be needed, under ANY circumstances. it sickens me. if you have no idea what kind of horrible things happen in the real world every single day, then you have no business trying to tell the world that guns are bad! besides, the vast majority of guns are bought, and used simply for pleasure, not killing people!

A friend of mine(yes I have friends!) used to teach intro to target shooting in his home town(northern N.J.) but was forced to cancel the program due to the outrage(two sets of parents objected) and now that tradition has slipped away from us. You can use sex to sell everything and in your face with it, but a healthy education regarding safely shooting a .22 is evil.
Sad times!

Maybe MR CArmel will sponsor a horehoue or strip joint, one and the same, then see the peoples open. As for guns, rread the last Stats on # of guns and amount of ammo sold on past 2 years, blew my mind. Nut, I don;t see why, as i bought myself, my wie a CC weapon and e both carry hen we leave home.We bought the Kel-tec which all you gotta do is pull the trigger, no outside hammer, no levers,
Being from N.C. The state is trying to get whoever is in charge to allow advertiseing on Tax Payers School Buses?Now wonder what they have to say, and wher is this $vgoing? If it get in the general fund, it will be pissed away as it is now. Like the Health Care Bill, if ther ever has been asorry Assed bill, this tops the list. They yet have not explained how. who, when , wher this $ goes, othr than from taxpayers pocket, plus medicare willbe cut again. I'm 74 and the little SS increase helps me pay for my prem.on my insurance Medicare Plan D which is available to all ho will pay the premium, as is with Health Cae Ins. And we pay almost l5 million Mexicans SS and takecae of their health.Go by any hospital Em Room after 5 pm an no seats available, as all taken by Mexicand and those too sorry to buy their helath care, they no thr Hospmust see them, and their Rx's all paid except 2.ooo each. Mine runs about 900.00 month with Plan D.The Ins. Co's will reach another Billion or so from this bill. Too bad the Pres, speaker of the house, congress, all don;t gt sick at once and be hospitalized at same time, till this bill dies.Al thos Idiots who wanted chane, well they got it, not let them stew. THe Mexicans have passed teh # of people in US, now next will be the whites. In less than 12 ys,,a Mexican will be Pres. Lets al ru down to the Border, takea load of guns and retire.After the war is over.

By 1950 Jersey had banned BB guns."

Well, not really "banned". Severely restricted is more like it. I was born in '62 in NJ, and I did have a bb gun, my Dad had to get a Firearms ID card just to buy it though! (Yes, a FIREARMS license for a bb gun, even though the federal standard is fires a projectile by use of an explosive, guess NJ thinks air is explosive?)

It was legal to have on our property and that was about it, just like any other "firearms" it had to be unloaded and cased for transport in a vehicle, etc., yada, yada.....

I still say NJ should change it's slogan to "New Jersey, the Gestapo State"
