  1. They've been doing this for years. Its called "i completely effed up the city i lived in so I better just go move out to the country!" A little while later..... "we need to raise taxes because the road i live on has fading stripes! And im scared to death of all of my neighbors because I hear shooting (even though I've never met them) someone dooooooo something!"
  2. If you want to see some crazy people. Probably people with schizophrenia go nuts over random people "following them" check out gang stalking. The guy in your interaction may have just been one of those people that believes people are trying to stalk him.
  3. In the same vein of mesh networks, I've thought about a project where people turn their home into an xbee node. Each person involved has a 1k or 10k xbee transceiver in their home with a unique ID and information travels between the nodes in the network. You could think of it as each home hosting one of these becomes a router in a low throughput network. If the internet goes down or cellular communications aren't possible you could still pass messages to various recipients in the network or send out a mass communication to all recipients. The transceiver in your home would communicate to your phone, laptop...whatever over wifi. You could have high thruput repeaters with multiple transceivers and some that are just single node end points that act as back-up for the high thruput nodes. In the event a node is downed the network could autoreconfigure so its hard to bring down conventionally. https://www.digi.com/products/embedded-systems/digi-xbee/rf-modules/sub-1-ghz-rf-modules/xbee-pro-900hp
  4. I can hear it now "aaaachhhthuallly arfdotcom was toooooxic and it wont go any further because they're just cleaning up and <insert reasons why it will be fixed/won't go further here> and beeeeesiiiiiiides <insert private company rant here>."
  5. Nah, I haven't bought anything yet but I'm being opportunistic for whatever comes up on the used market. My lawyers are telling me not to comment on if it works on my wife or not.
  6. I see it like a battering ram. Each new law introduced is a swing and each time the door gives a new law goes through. Its little, but it adds up. When the door breaks they get what they want.
  7. I beleive the notion that a politician in office cares more about fixing current problems that are ailing to the american public then they do about pushing the agenda of their financiers is just not the case. Im probably really cynical, but I believe that the current administration was paid to push an agenda, of the items on said agenda is gun control, and so they're gonna do just that. Public school sucks (not attacking teachers its not really their fault), always has and no one cares to really fix its many glaring flaws because its a racket in its own right. Sure kids aren't in school, and thats a problem but it's been fixed with half-attempts at home school by zoom so its "fine". the current situation with regard to the pandemic offers lots of routes to attack civil liberties to push the agenda. Those two things are important.....just not important to "fix" in a meaningful way to benefit the American people.
  8. Sorry to blast posts, but I also keep extra guns and ammo for my family in the event of civil unrest preferably everyone is armed and everything is interchangeable. I see that as being the most likely extreme scenario. Although we all live out in bumfuk USA so its not like thats even that much of a concern.
  9. I have this image in my head of Carl from aqua teen in tactical gear on top of a giant pile of ammo cans in sweat pants and flip flops going "you want some of this ammo fry man!?"
  10. I'm like this but the opposite of whats happening now. I would buy lots when it's cheap because I'm cheap and I buy when I come across a good deal. I still do, but pre-clownWorld I used to shoot a looooooooot. I kept my dillon running hawt. Rule #1 buy low sell high, or when its cheap stack it deep.
  11. I think If we are to see gun control in the next few years it will be aimed at peripherals as to not throw the frog in boiling water. You'll see: ban on buying ammunition from the internet/ammunition has to go through ffl, ban on private sales, the atf will expand legal definitions and strangle out fringe groups in the firearms community. I would think it would reach a crescendo with a massive tax on all ammunition to make it cost prohibitive. Keep in mind that action taken against that guys 80% receiver today will just creep into something that effects you tomorrow. There is no "ok we're done the world is safe" My dad always said the most dangerous weapon to the anti-gunner is the cheap .22 rifle because thats how children are introduced and grow up to be fully active in the gun community. I think they'll look at it as a multi-generational effort. How do you keep the next generation away from wanting to own firearms.
  12. My boy Ricky gets it for me in exchange for used underwear. I dont ask him where he gets it but last week a box of primers he sold me was covered in maple syrup.............. I think he's getting it from Canada.
  13. I'll say this. Its a measure of hope. I dont think gun control is as popular with the American public as it may be presented in certain news outlets. I think one nice thing thats come in the past decade is a rise of some aspects of the firearms world to "pop-culture" status because people genuinely like it. Just a small example would be how taran butler's popularity shot up in the general publics eye after the john wick franchise became popular. A lot of movies go more for firearms realism and not just the "this is generic machine gun that go brrrr" type of thing that used to be more typical in films because they know a good portion of the audience is firearms savvy. I've met a lot of guys 18 ~ 35 from deep blue cities that are 100% pro 2A. Some have been raging commies.....granted, but they don't support any laws restricting the right of the people to own and possess any firearm. I would even say based on what I've seen (again these are anecdotes so take that for what you will) the very very far left is as opposed to gun control as the right. Also remember that when we had SHTF lite earlier in the year we had millions of new gun owners taking home a lot more than double barrel shotguns. That proves that when your balls are in a vice superior firepower is popular despite the ravings of the frazzled media. I would say the majority of gun control support comes from the reactionaries, and theyre flakey so you can only get their true undevided support when you pump out news stories about gun violence for weeks on end. Now what this means as far as government is concerned..... well I can't say, if they want you disarmed they'll pass a law, or impose a huge tax....etc. Laws are also letters to Santa clause if no-one enforces them, but thats a digression. Ultimately my point is gun control is a knives-edge topic. Its just a huge balancing act. You bring it up, you will hear your approval being slowly sucked down the drain. I may be totally wrong and babbling a bunch of B.S. but thats just my stream of consciousness on it.
  14. I too have a shaky commitment to giving money to the NRA because i haven't been fully satisfied with them over the past couple of years, but I give the minimum amount to the NRA typically.
  15. I dont think the disarming will come in the form of outright bans because they're sloppy and ineffective like you say. Instead, I could see a 100% tax or something like that on ammunition and firearms and related parts. It keeps the market open for anyone with means, but makes it cost prohibitive to the rest of the public. Also, a good number of manufacturers center around parts for the ar-15 so it lets them technically stay in business.
  16. This actually solves all my problems right here. Ideally, I would like my plate carrier to hold either ar or ak mags so this is nice. Thanks for this!
  17. Does anyone have any suggestions for good AK magazine pouches that you use or you like? Preferably something molle compatible would be good but I will defer to the expertise of the forum
  18. I would be interested in finding a used S&W 686 or a ruger gp100. A good wheel gun is on my list, but the reality is that I'm probably gonna buy ammo and magazines and maybe another couple of steel targets for my range. Or maybe I'll make and SBR, 200 for the stamp and 400 to finish an upper in 7.62x39.
  19. Buried deep under my great great aunts farm house in Eastern Russia. I call and she say it is still probably pretty good. She will let you have it for 45 turnips and errotic back message. Edit: she says if you are handsome boy will only be 40 turnips
  20. That really really sucks. Has she tried the glock 43 or the 43x? Maybe even the sig p320/320XL? Maybe try either of those with a a little weaker recoil spring? I like S&W revolvers ok but their M&P series striker fired handguns just don't stack up to the glawk (perfection) problem solva in my sort of iffy opinion.
