Not sure if anybody mentioned Shogun on Hulu I think? I finally finished it (takes me a long time to watch a show, much less a season). I thought it was well done. I read the book maybe 25 years ago and got it back out. I hear a season 2 is in the works. I hope so.

While I don’t doubt there is some truth in what you say, assuming there are no “true believers” in power who would do the unthinkable if given the opportunity is risky and complacent. I bet the murder-the-babies people would agree.

I think Link in the past has claimed that many politicians screaming for gun control are simply firing up their base or fundraising and don’t mean what they say, or at least have no plans to follow through. There are probably some who would never admit it, but fit that description. Joe Biden is/was possibly one example. He talked the talk, but gun grabbing never seemed to be a top priority for him. On the other hand, there are politicians pursuing disarmament who mean every word they say AND will make it a priority. I have always believed Kamala Harris is one of these and am not looking forward to what she has in store for America if she wins.

I think it's less about getting in anyone's business and more about finding a possible pattern or trend.

"I refuse to play because I want $20 million instead of $18 million" had already soured me on the NFL before the kneeling nonsense. College ball seems to be headed that way.

It was friendly advice to those who don't live in Shelby County.

They let the Railgarten shooter out with no bond. Guys shoots four people with a shotgun and gets RORd. Stay out of Shelby County if possible.

That might makes sense if we were talking about intelligent, savvy politicians. Memphis is run by imbeciles.

I have no doubt that the Carcano is accurate enough to have made the shot. I wasn’t talking about the Carcano. I was talking about OSWALD’S Carcano.

I would love to own it. I'd take it and a stack of ammo to the range and possibly learn a lot. If half of what I've read about that rifle is true, Oswald couldn't have hit the floor with it, much less Kennedy's head.

Nice shooting Randy!

I’ve played with a couple on carry guns. They are neat and kinda work, but they are not worth the extra noise they make. I haven’t shot one from retention (which is a realistic possibility in a defensive scenario), but I doubt I would like it.

Dots are often marketed to old guys who can no longer focus on the front sight. I would argue that they rarely need to.
