So basically you guys are going to try and blame video games the same way the libs try to blame the guns?

He lived. Disqualified :)

Why in the world would anyone think ma deuce in tn GUN owners? Lol Yeah I probably should have added, and a half...... I didn't have any pics like night. It took six hours to get here and it was too dark... I got some today! With the 54" tires the handle is right above my head level, so about 6'. My 4 year old girl loves it! She wants a pink one..... I now want to mount a ma deuce over the cab. I'm gonna call it the Double Deuce and drive around dressed like Patrick Swayze!

it would be nice of you to use better language

  Where you write poetry to exchange for goods? ;)

Because most of the media has an agenda. This kinda blows the anti-gun argument. Liberals hate to admit that there is real evil in the world.

  No time to explain. RUN Dammit! :panic:

I enjoy the occasional beer, but this still makes me laugh.

I have been home with Ava this afternoon while mom has been out and about.. When she got home with the parts to my next project (fixing the oil leak on her truck) she also handed me a bag and said Happy Easter.. I said what is this? She said , just look!! It was two tee-shirts..

Personal monetary interests of folks who would see their NFA items decrease in value at the repeal of an unjust law are secondary to my right to purchase those items without a prohibitive tax. Wait, it isn't just secondary or tertiary, it shouldn't even be a consideration when we discuss this.

Buy the bullet puller. This may be the first time you need one, but it likely won't be the last. Kinetic bullet puller=the handloader's eraser.

Money is the biggest part of the problem. A fiat money system only works when the gov't controlling its value can be trusted. We trusted them and they dropped the gold standard. Now they can do anything they want to the value of our currency. You work your ass off for a dollar today and next year it's not worth as much, because they printed too much money. Then they have the nerve to call it "inflation" as if it's some natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled. Then they lead us to believe that our money is ours, but we want it to be more secure. So, we make the system electronic with imaginary 1's and 0's flying around in a computer somewhere. All they while, if you do something they don't like they can flick a switch and turn your 1's into 0's and freeze your accounts. We made it too easy for them, it's inevitable that they'll eventually do what Cyprus did. They'll say it's for our own good and that it's to preserve our way of life, but the ants will always be forced to feed the grasshoppers. There's already 47 grasshoppers for every 53 ants. And as soon as there are 51, we're screwed!

  I would never do that, even though I seen you do it more than once :)

Its surprising of the people that have no clue about what and/or what not can be done by Law Enforcement and /or DHS..  Paperwork signed by a judge better be in hand if they come to my house.. I have a long, funny story related to my Target practice and the neighbor across the road.. Kind'a unrelated but funny all the same.. My friend at central dispatch told me there was a call last week about some shooting n my neck of the woods.. He asked the caller two questions.. 1. Is it in the county? 2. Is he shooting on his own land? Needless to say the last Deputy that showed up at my house was due to him wanting to shoot my P238 (off duty). Stand your ground people.. Stand your ground..

Obama did say if he had a son he'd look like Trayvon. ;)

I guess thats what I get for not checking an email my dad sent me. Oh well Thats what they should say!!

FTFY  From Jethro Bodine's Naught-Naught Spy stuff, the funniest of which was the Jethro Bodine Ejector Seat...from Double Naught Jethro (March 3, 1965)

My first thought was that Milton had torched the walkers at the pit.  Upon thinking about it further, though, I am not so sure.  For one thing, Milton still believes that the 'biters' have something of their old selves still preserved inside and that they can possibly be saved.  To his mind, they are still largely sick people.  I have a hard time imagining him pouring gasoline on them and setting them on fire.   Another point that goes against Milton being the one is that no one is allowed outside the walls after dark.  Milton having been out after dark would be noticed.  Further, I have never seen anything to indicate that Milton has ready, easy access to a vehicle or to gasoline, etc.   Because of those factors, I am actually thinking that it was Martinez who torched the walkers.  As he is basically the governor's 'lieutenant' in charge of guarding the wall, he could have arranged to slip out/in with no one noticing.  He is also one of the people that is sometimes shown driving so he would also have ready access to a vehicle and gasoline.   Martinez will do what he has to do but at the same time I think his 'talk' with Daryl at the meeting made him realize that even people who aren't with his group are still people.  I think it also made him realize how much lying/manipulation the Governor has been doing.  Martinez also said something along the lines that the walkers/biters took his wife and kids.  He hates walkers because of that and I could easily see him torching them without hesitation.  Also, now that he knows that the people in the prison aren't the militant threat that the Governor has wanted them to believe - and that there are children in the prison - he might have a problem with feeding them to the walkers, especially if that is what happened to his own kids.   There is also the matter of the Governor's continued instability and increasing paranoia.  Martinez has largely replaced Merle as the Governor's 'right hand man'.  Martinez also saw what happened to Merle and has to know that things didn't go down exactly as the Governor said.  He has to be wondering how long it will be before the Governor's paranoia turns on him (Martinez), as well.  I get the feeling that Martinez is still human enough to not want to sic biters on little kids but is also ruthless and conniving enough to use this conflict as an opportunity to rid himself and Woodbury of their increasingly unbalanced and dangerous leader.   I haven't read that far in the comics but have seen comments to the effect that - in the comics - the Governor's own people turn on him.  Maybe they are setting things up for something like that, here.  It would make for an interesting 'surprise' twist if, when things come to a head, Martinez kills the Governor, assumes leadership of Woodbury and tells Rick et al that he is giving them one chance to leave the prison and keep moving - and that if he sees them again he will kill them all.

the .gov needed to inject some code into the matrix, now they can listen inside your households when you have the cable box turned on.

That still keeps my biggest reason for not doing it. I don%t want any firearm or accessories that are registered with the government for any reason Sent from behind my anvil in ye olde smithy

Play nice, boys. This is only the internet.

As a veteran, I still oppose this bill.  I am against ANY bill that gives one group of citizens privileges that other citizens cannot have.  I do not favor laws that permit retired police officers, judges, or anyone else to carry without a permit unless everyone who can legally possess a firearm can do so as well.  Thus, I do not support a bill which gives certain veterans a privilege that everyone cannot have.   If, as a private citizen, you want to start a fund to pay part or all of the fee for veterans, I'm fine with that and would probably contribute.  But making a law that gives special privileges is a bad idea.

All my 100 packs have been 4 boxes of 25, each with its own tax stamp. Likely this is nothing to with Walmart so much as a state level issue. It's important to remember that Walmart, or any other retailer for that matter only collects the tax not profits from it. Additionally, they are not payed for the service of collecting tax. It is something they HAVE to do. Any frustration towards Walmart on this subject is wrongfully placed.

Revolvers are in short supply because stupid people elected obama.

That'd be great for us, but I'd really hate to see a "special privilaged class" created just because I'd benifit from it. I'd like to see every law-abiding person share the same "right" to keep & bear arms as the 2nd intended.

Bottom line: The little #### video-gamer allegedly transferred his video-gaming persona to his real life in an attempt to rack up more "points" than any other mass shooter.   If so, who says that video games do not desensitize a small fraction of players to mass murder if not prepare them for the act?   If this is so, and I have no reason to doubt it, it should completely reset the national debate. It should, but I doubt it will. That makes our national leadership complicit in these crimes. If national leaders are going to pass nonsense laws, instead of laws that address the facts on the ground, they make themselves complicit in future mass shootings.     **************************************************************************************************   Morbid find suggests murder-obsessed gunman Adam Lanza plotted Newtown, Conn.'s Sandy Hook massacre for years     Law enforcement reportedly discovers a sickeningly thorough 7-foot-long, 4-foot-wide spreadsheet with names, body counts and weapons from previous mass murders and even attempted killings. 'It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research,' an anonymous law enforcement veteran said.     NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Sunday, March 17, 2013, 8:11 PM Updated: Monday, March 18, 2013, 10:05 AM   Authorities believe Adam Lanza targeted Sandy Hook, because a school would provide little resistance, allowing him to rack up victims in a quest for notoriety.   It is three months since the killings in Newtown, since 20 children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School less than two weeks before Christmas. And as bad as the story was, and will always be, it is even worse than we originally knew because now we discover that this was slaughter by spreadsheet.   It has been reported previously that law enforcement found research about previous mass murderers at the Newtown, Conn., home the shooter, video gamer Adam Lanza, shared with his mother, the first victim of Dec. 14.   It was more than that, and worse than that. What investigators found was a chilling spreadsheet 7 feet long and 4 feet wide that required a special printer, a document that contained Lanza’s obsessive, extensive research — in nine-point font — about mass murders of the past, and even attempted murders. But it wasn’t just a spreadsheet. It was a score sheet. “We were told (Lanza) had around 500 people on this sheet,” a law enforcement veteran told me Saturday night. “Names and the number of people killed and the weapons that were used, even the precise make and model of the weapons. It had to have taken years. It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research.”   The law enforcement vet attended the International Association of Police Chiefs and Colonels mid-year meeting in New Orleans last week, a conference where state police colonels share information with each other, and learn from each other. One of the speakers this year was Danny Stebbins, a colonel from the Connecticut State Police.   Stebbins spoke for a long time about the morning of Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary. Those in the room were told of first responders in Newtown who have since quit their jobs, so shattered were they by what they found when they got to the school that morning, when they saw dead teachers with their arms wrapped around the children they had tried in vain to save.   The man to whom I spoke, a tough career cop who did not wish to see his name in the newspaper, was in the room when the state cop from Connecticut spoke, said the man was well into his presentation when he began to talk of the spreadsheets that had been found at “the shooter’s” home. He didn’t use Lanza’s name, saying he did not want to give him even an hour more of fame, just because that is what Lanza wanted; what all these shooters want, from Tucson to Newtown to Virginia Tech.   “We keep calling them mass murderers,” the veteran cop to whom I spoke said. “But there should be a new way of referring to them: Glory killers.   “They don’t believe this was just a spreadsheet. They believe it was a score sheet,” he continued. “This was the work of a video gamer, and that it was his intent to put his own name at the very top of that list. They believe that he picked an elementary school because he felt it was a point of least resistance, where he could rack up the greatest number of kills. That’s what (the Connecticut police) believe.”   The man paused and said, “They believe that (Lanza) believed that it was the way to pick up the easiest points. It’s why he didn’t want to be killed by law enforcement. In the code of a gamer, even a deranged gamer like this little bastard, if somebody else kills you, they get your points. They believe that’s why he killed himself.   “They have pictures from two years before, with the guy all strapped with weapons, posing with a pistol to his head. That’s the thing you have to understand: He had this laid out for years before.” Another pause. “He didn’t snap that day, he wasn’t one of those guys who was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore,” the man said. “He had been planning this thing forever. In the end, it was just a perfect storm: These guns, one of them an AR-15, in the hands of a violent, insane gamer. It was like porn to a rapist. They feed on it until they go out and say, enough of the video screen. Now I’m actually going to be a hunter.”   Those who didn’t know about Lanza’s life on its way to the gates of hell were told in New Orleans about the plastic that covered his own windows in Newtown, the Connecticut town he would make famous as a way of making himself, the newest glory killer, famous. Were told about how in the last days of his life, not a single ray of light could get into his room.   He was finished with his spreadsheet by then, the old score sheet, one that did not yet have his name on it. “The whole thing was chilling and riveting,” the law enforcement official said.   The fascination (Lanza) had with this subject matter, the complete and total concentration. There really was no other subject matter inside his head. Just this: Kill, kill, kill.   “It really was like he was lost in one of his own sick games. That’s what we heard. That he learned something from his game that you learn in (police) school, about how if you’re moving from room to room — the way he was in that school — you have to reload before you get to the next room. Maybe he has a 30-round magazine clip, and he’s only used half of it. But he’s willing to dump 15 rounds and have a new clip before he arrives in the next room.”   The career law enforcement veteran paused again, and when he started speaking again his voice was shaking, like a wind had blown through it.   “They believe he learned the principles of this — the tactical reload — from his game. Reload before you’re completely out. Keep going. When the strap broke on his first weapon (the AR-15), he went to his handgun at the end. Classic police training. Or something you learn playing kill games.”   The police in Connecticut believe that Lanza’s mother, a gun lover herself, was an enabler of her son’s increasing obsession with guns, that she was making straw purchases of guns for him all along, and ignoring the fact that he was getting more and more fixated on them.   At this point I asked the man what we can possibly learn from what happened with Adam Lanza and his mother and what finally happened at Sandy Hook Elementary on that Friday morning in December.   He said, “The amazing thing is, as much of a tragedy as it was, it really could have been much worse. We heard that in New Orleans, too. Those teachers . . . the whole school . . . they did everything they could. There is nothing more they could have done. Despite the great loss of lives, they did save lives by acting the way they did.”   He said when the presentation was over that day, he walked out of the hotel and into the New Orleans morning, three months removed from Sandy Hook Elementary but unable now to shake what he called the “visual” of Adam Lanza’s spreadsheets, the seemingly endless list of names and numbers compiled for God knows how long; the list on which he wanted his name at the top, because of all the easy kills he thought he could get at an elementary school.   “Then I called my wife,” he said, “and told her about it, and started to cry about Newtown all over again.”  Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/lupica-lanza-plotted-massacre-years-article-1.1291408#ixzz2NvKNZBjZ

  The D spring only drops the SA pull by about 1/2 lb because of the hammer/sear design. The DA pull is where the D spring makes the most difference. I have a Beretta 90-Two in .40 with a D spring, SRT (short reach trigger), & a full trigger/hammer job. It has a glass smooth trigger pull that's 6.5 lb DA & 3.5 lb SA. They're all great shooters IMHO though.

Where did you find them? I need some ammo too.

Booze is an important part of the human reproductive experience for a variety of reasons.

Look for connections. Parental involvement or lack thereof, psychiatric prescriptions, a propensity to be affected by killing games. Everybody is different, the triggers for this kind of behavior are too varied to be distilled to a pat combination. But it seems to be that the most obvious common denominator are that warning signs are often ignored by family and friends.

My brother bought a brand new one in `03. It was one time I really wish the bugger had called me. I don't like it. I have done most of the work on it over the years, but I still don't like it. Granted, the only major issue it had was warrantied. But it did toast the tranny at 20k. They have come leaps and bounds in ten years though. Our local Kia dealer is running a special right now, two Kias (Rio or Soul, mix or match) for $222 a month. I haven't read the fine print, but thankfully it happened a couple months after I bought my Mustang. I would hate myself for driving a Kia...

just about any 4 banger is going to get 25-30ish.  If you want cheap, just go to an auction around your town and pick one up.  If you buy one from a used car lot, all you are doing is paying them for selling you an auction car that they washed & shined up.

There's a reason we don't sell pornography to children...

I picked up a box of the 250ct UMC last week. Thank you to everyone who posts these deals up. Its such a great feeling walking into the Walmart having some sort of hope.

  Who's the car for, you or her?  A stick is the only way to go in a small car. 

  There is a place for Jethro within our current administration.

  He just has to be removed the gene pool to qualify. Depending on shot placement, he may still be in the running.

:bowrofl:

It will be a very dangerous time to be an IRS employee if they pull that.

Awesome shoot! The weather really did turn out perfect and we got in all 7 stages. Tish and I got to score and I even got a chance to run the clock! I had one strong stage, stage 5. Two steel targets at distance, then a shoot and advance vertically up the field shooting 14 rounds. With no targets obscured, it was really an exercise in cover and 'shoot and move.' The simplicity worked for me as did my two reloads and I almost went under twenty seconds (I did see the fasted time was just over 10!) Stage 2 is where I took it the worst, with 12 potential targets and some moving stuff... I didn't even SEE one of the targets from the window... TOTAL mental laps. Had a great squad though, thanks to Robert for keeping it running smoothly and our squad mates for ALL pitching in. Michael and Chip thanks for the garment hook up and of course MCTS for another well run match. We'll see you all at the next one!

And another one starts their journey down the dark road that is Action Pistol! Try not to eat too many of the cookies ;)

That's good to hear. Now as long as we don't see one listed for 2500+ on a sale site; maybe we can get back to some regular breathing in looking for and talking about AR rifles.

Jeez man, next thing ya know you'll be tellin us how you gave up that lap banjo and took up a real guitar. What's got in to you? LOL

Then let’s start here….   I voluntarily answered my country’s call during the Vietnam War. I have two honorable discharges and served my country as a cop after I got out. I don’t think that gives me any state mandated special privileges and certainly not more gun rights that any citizen. I also don’t think that just because someone hung out for 20 years they get some special treatment that combat veterans don’t get. (I am not a military combat veteran) I have an HCP because I am lucky enough to be able to afford it. I certainly wish all citizens of the state of Tennessee could enjoy their gun rights; and maybe someday they can. If the state is going to start reducing the price of gun privileges; I would suggest they do it with those that can’t afford a permit.

  I did a little bit of searching to see if I could dig up that info, but didn't have any luck.  I did read that these contracts, like the ones being the subject of the current hoopla, are authorizations to purchase ammunition and other items that can cover several years.  If that is the case, it may be a little more challenging to find these random requisitions out there.  I know through friends who work for the federal government that they go through massive amounts of ammo for training.  I've never had a need to ask how many they fired so I don't know for sure, but my sense was that thousands of rounds in a year was not uncommon.  One of my friends is a retired firearms instructor and he always talked like they had basically unlimited ammo at their disposal and they made full use of it.  He now teaches the classes for the federal flight deck officer program and talks as if they go through cases of ammo each class and they teach it every couple of months.  His training site is just one of many across the United States.  Like the original article I posted says, it's a matter of scale.  Knoxville Police Department may go through a few thousand rounds per year, but when you compare that to all of the federal agencies and multiply that by five years, it makes much more sense why they are going through so much ammo.  Seriously, we all expect the men and women who we task with protecting us and our interests to be able to shoot and have access to ammo right?   In full disclosure, I also was a little concerned when I first read about these ammo purchases, but I am not a Kool Aid drinker and immediately began to do some research and thinking on the issue instead of simply taking someone else's word for it.  As soon as I saw Alex Jones jump into the mix, I knew it definitely deserved even more diligence and research because that guy is a conspiracy merchant.  He plays off of people's concerns and makes good money doing it even though none of his doomsday predictions ever seem to come true.

My wife and I are looking in to this trust thing since it would allow us to share NFA items.   Will let you all know how it goes as I start the process. :up:

I was always a proponent of Don't Ask Don't Tell. If you wanted to search my car, get a warrant.

Endless slave labor. Treadmills + zombies + generator = free electricity.

I saw Obama get elected again......sorry couldn't resist.   That sucks that a shop would try to do that but the buyer should do more homework.
