Here is the article in full: As many as 165 House Democrats have backed legislation Monday to ban so-called assault weapons. U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (RI-01) introduced the bill, known as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018. Like previous iterations penned by the original architect of the AWB, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the bill would prohibit the sale, transfer, production, and importation of: Semi-automatic rifles and pistols with a military-style feature that can accept a detachable magazine; Semi-automatic rifles with a fixed magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds; Semi-automatic shotguns with a military-style feature; Any ammunition feeding device that can hold more than 10 rounds; And 205 specifically-named and listed firearms. “Assault weapons were made for one purpose,” said Cicilline in a press release.“They are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. They do not belong in our communities.” “I am proud to introduce the Assault Weapons Ban with the support of leaders in law enforcement,” he continued. “It’s on all of us to end this carnage.” Congressman Ted Deutch, the representative for Parkland, Florida, also got behind the bill. He asked the question, “Americans don’t own tanks or missiles; so why should our streets be flooded with weapons of war made for the sole purpose of killing people?” “Most Americans support the assault weapons ban,” said Deutch. “Now it’s time for Congress to listen and pass sensible legislation to get these weapons of war off our streets.” The Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 has been sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary. Assuming it cleared that GOP-controlled committee and Speaker Paul Ryan gave it the green light for a vote before the entire floor (two big assumptions), the Dems would still need Republican support to get to that magic number — 218 — to enact the ban. Remember, there are 193 Dems in the House. Of which, only 165 have signed onto the bill. Few Republicans, so far, have come out in support of prohibiting AR- and AK-pattern rifles. However, one House Republican of note has voiced his support for the measure. Rep. Brian Mast, who represents Florida’s 18th congressional district. Mast is a combat vet and double amputee. Due to his experience, knowledge of weapons and service to our country, many are hoping that his opinion will tilt the scales. “Our Second Amendment is an unimpeachable, God-given right to defend ourselves; one of the most basic rights,” Mast said on CNN “New Day,” several days after hisNew York Times op-ed calling for a ban went viral. “But we recognize that there is a balance between what is the level of lethality, what is that level of firepower and does that fall in line.” “We recognize that there is a line somewhere that we say ‘here’s the Second Amendment and here is public safety,'” Mast continued. “And there is room. They’re not mutually exclusive to one another.” Support for a ban just out edges opposition, 50 percent to 46 percent, according to a recent poll by The Washington Post. Four percent had “no opinion.” For me, ownership of black rifles is an uncomplicated issue, even if you believe all the spin by the anti-gunners that “mass shootings have become more deadly” since the Clinton-era ban expired and “weapons of war” don’t belong on our streets, etc. Why does anyone need a black rifle? My answer is simple, just in case. I don’t really need to elaborate. But if pressed, I’ll say that the truth is, at present, I don’t need one. But the same holds true for the first aid kit in the bathroom closet and the fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink. I don’t need those either… Until suddenly, I do. The fatal assumption supporters of a black rifle ban make is that they believe things will always be the way they are. Hunky-dory. Going to war with our government is never going to happen. Empires don’t collapse nowadays. Modern economies don’t fail. History never repeats itself. Massive race riots that consume an entire city, circa Los Angeles 1992. A thing of the past. We can tell those Korean shop owners who used those scary assault weapons to defend their livelihood from violent looters that they’re perfectly safe now. History never repeats itself. By the same token, we can tell the Oklahoma man who protected his home with an AR-15last year from three intruders that he’s going to be just fine. He can give up that rifle. We can also tell Stephen Willeford, the man who confronted the armed killer who was slaughtering churchgoers in Sutherland Springs, Texas back in November that he can turn in his AR because he doesn’t need it. History never repeats itself. Weapons of War You see where I’m going with that. History never repeats itself until one day it does. Now, I don’t want to insult Rep. Mast because he’s given up more to defend our way of life than I have or ever will. But the truth is that civilians have always had access to weapons of war on par with our government. At least in the case of small arms. What is a 1911? Or an M1 Garand? Or, for that matter, a musket? Aren’t these all certified “weapons of war”? Sure they are. Civilians have, to use his words, “an unimpeachable” right to keep and bear arms. What makes that right “unimpeachable” isn’t that it’s God-given or that it’s a natural right (those arguments are both valid, in theory). What makes it unimpeachable — really unassailable — is exercising that right. Bearing arms guarantees our right to bear arms. As well as our other Constitutional rights. Therefore, when the government moves to take guns away, we – the people – become less safe and less free. Fact: It’s harder to take stuff from men with guns than it is to take stuff from men without guns. Incidentally, it’s harder to shoot up a school guarded by men with guns (who aren’t afraid to do their jobs) than it is to shoot up a school with no armed guards. When the conversation turns to the lethality of certain arms we must remember two things. First, lethality is more often a function of the shooter’s capability than it is of the platform he is using. A five-shot revolver in the hands of a capable shooter can be every bit as lethal as a rifle in the hands of a noob. Second, when it comes to the security of the free state, when it comes to defending against tyranny, when it comes to preserving and protecting the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, increased lethality is increased security. It’s increased resistance. Better men than I have said it in the past. “After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.” — William Burroughs

Doing Loshbough?

Have you tried trapping with rabbit boxes? You could relocate or add some protein in with your veggie dinner.

I usually figure while shooting .22 Short in my Rohm Model 10 that everyone in the vicinity is equally likely to get hit. lol Thanks for including it.

Put them up against a .22 Short. Lol

I have wanted to do this he'll testing. I wanted to use a tote to make a large block. Gotta find me a new our door shooting area first.

I can agree by seeing it from the opposite side. I got a Facebook account to promote my site. Never had one before, never wanted one. I see all the crap that winds people up now. Makes me feel much more anxious.

Not sure how many places local to you carry stripped uppers. But could you stop by and try some for fit?

Sadly I missed them running these at $7.99 a bit back. Gotta decide this time.

Yeah Carl lasted 50 times longer than anyone else that ever got bit. Lol. I think this episode was too sappy. I know what they were doing, but just felt like he could have gone out with a bigger bang.

I think Morgan might have the "kill'em all" down pat.

If really need be, I will complain and have them sent to Bass Pro where I can transfer them as anything. I think they said $15 to do that because of shipping. I should be able to get them all done for that. I forgot to say, I am doing in store pickup on them.

If they are transferred as Rifles, I do not need to.

Cabelas has stripped Anderson's for $49.99, but on 2 week back order and require store pickup. I have some on order.

I love the look on that guys face when Morgan takes the guy out on stage. Trying not to spoil too much.

Wha What was Bud's getting for stripped lowers? Been trying to get a few, but local prices are not what I want and transfers eat me up on cost.

Nice to meetchya! I work over in Blountville.

From the ads I saw, they are playing it up like it might be Carl's last episode. I hope they strap a bomb vest on him and he bear hugs Neegan.

Anyone ever bought from these guys? https://22mods4all.com They have a good priced rifle kit and I have a lower to build. Thanks

Well with each pack being 3600 calories, that should be enough to make it home. To deal with the ratio, you can just eat more that the suggested portion. I looked a bunch for food options. This one was on the heavy end of the list, but the shelf life, no special storage requirements, no water needed (actually meant to not induce thirst), and price caused me to choose them.

A few things that I would put in a general bag that do not require rotation. This is if NOT flying and is a general "if" bag. Fixed blade knife - Mora's are good if you just want it to stay there and not worry about cost: http://amzn.to/2ycaRkr Folding Knife - for places where a fixed blade would be frowned upon. I like the Gerber Air Ranger I just picked up. Good knife, but cheap enough to knock around with: http://amzn.to/2FrYOja Gloves - In case you need to work on the car or something. I like the Mechanix brand : http://amzn.to/2FugUBj. Toss some latex ones in there too in case you need to uses them when the others are too thick. Keeps you hands clean for that dinner date. Disposable coveralls - cheap and good in case you are dressed up and get a flat or something. Get big enough to go over your nice clothes. It is sort of a luxury item, but under $10. http://amzn.to/2EQkKaT Disposable lighter - I find myself needing one all the time even though I don't smoke. Starting fires, lighting candles, burning rope to keep it from unraveling, etc. Small tool kit/roll - flat and Philips screwdriver, vice grips, crescent wrench, etc. A Multitool might replace this, but might not do as well on certain jobs. Extra socks - a dry pair of socks can do a world of good if yours get soaked. Flashlight - I seem to always be needing one. I like my Streamlight Stylus Pro. http://amzn.to/2gNDE3D Cash - i agree, but a stock of 1's and some quarters. Nice when you need something from the hotel vending at 1 am. Hotels dry me out, so I always need a drink. Phone chargers - just in case you forget one and nothing is close. Some more "survival" based items if you want them in there would be: Fire Starting Rod - This works wet and is small. Toss a zip lock with a couple cotton balls smeared in petroleum jelly and you can start fire anywhere. Good if your car breaks down in BFE. http://amzn.to/2ESz0f8 Candle - Good for light and can keep a small area (such as a car) fairly warm. Just seal it in a zip lock in case it melts. First aid kit - Just a small one, but so you always have something around. Seems like a lot, but nothing there, besides maybe the tools, are large or heavy. The kit I keep in my car is a lot larger, but I am just that way. If you ccw, I would put an extra mag in there and maybe a tiny cleaning kit. A piece of cloth, bank line, and some oil should be enough. Never know when you might stop by a range out of town.

Look at the S. O. S. Ration. No water needed. 5 year shelf life. Not a lot of variety, but not heat sensitive. Even stack up pretty nice because of the square shspe. Lots of calories in small package. http://amzn.to/2GHts7I They have long storage water too. http://amzn.to/2CHPIvU

First question is: What is this bag for? You say overnight, but is that staying over at a family member or friends house, traveling farther away to a hotel, getting the h3ll out of dodge, or a just in case kind of bag? Also, do you mean a survival bag, or just a bag for your car?

That is fabulous. So what are you using it for?

I was always told to never touch a man's gun, dog, or wife without permission. As fun as it sounds, I would be hesitant to do that.
