Anyone want to buy a hunting dog?

What sucks is that i remember really liking getting their catalog in the mail when I was very young back in 2004 or so they had cool stuff and my parents didn't let me use the dial-up internet at the time so it was magazines or nothing. I bought some parts to build an AR from them in my adult life and the customer service was god awful. They blundered up the order multiple multiple times then complained I was trying to take advantage of their return policy. I wound up having a completed rifle minus the MBUS sights and the moe stock for a while.

Price gouging sucks and it isn't my style but it does work as a way of ensuring that the product exists in the market for those that are in desperate need for it. Competition ensures that when you gouge you can't move as much product. That said I still hate the F##k out of cheaper than dirt for having pissy customer service and being a generaly slimy company.

I guess if you were truly desperate enough then hey, there's some ammo. one thing I have to give CTD is that they never run out

you say that but then you know they were your reloads. Also, you were the one that once said to me "mseals22, there is no ammo shortage if you have a hammer. just make em shorter and then shoot em" you aint got 45's but you got 44's? no problem! apply the hammer! no 7.62x39 but you got 308s? bam! hammer! its a true life hack. just cut 44's in half to make 22's and you're good to go for 22lr

this is how i get my Glock 17 to chamber 556.

I'll see if I can dig up the article, but I read last week where in some states doctors offices were asking people if they own a gun on the questionnaire you fill out. They went on to say that they saw shootings as a public health crisis. It was insane.

The ATF is useless. Their only purpose is to infringe on people's rights. Its an entire agency designed to infringe on your rights. The whole concept of giving a firearm a legal definition based on a finite guidelines when there are infinite variables at play in designing one is functionally retarted. Thats why they have these issues. Thats why its dumb to even try and regulate firearms based on them.

Look him in the eyes and tell him he can have my car if he kisses me passionatly. Either it will get so weird he will want to leave me alone or it will distract him enough that I can draw my gun. Plot twist: I give him corona so he's done anyway.

I call this the sneaky pete

Wow garry. You look great in a corset.

@E4 No More points out exactly why the argument for historical context for the constitution hasn't derailed the second amendment, but is dangerous to apply. If you apply historical context to the interpretation then you wind up saying free speech doesn't apply to platforms on then internet because there was no foreseeable way the founders could have predicted the impact of the internet from the 18th century. In fact you can derail the whole document by simply saying something exists now that modifies our experience of the world we live in so greatly that they would not have phrased the amendment that way with prior knowledge of future events. actually, come to think of it, if you could do that in general then most contracts could be voided that didn't specifically state they couldn't be voided by applying the insight from future events retroactively to say the whole thing should never have been written a certain way of the original drafters intent would have changed....etc

It's really saddens me when I hear how there used to be classes taught by FFA on firearms safety and they even took students out to shoot behind the high school. It gives me a moment where i think "Man, what happened to us!?". I've always used the saw-table as an example when new gun owner safety and experience comes up. I say anyone can buy a saw table no questions asked, but its a very dangerous piece of equipment. I've met a good number of people seriously injured using wood working equipment that either they were operating or someone else in the shop was operating. If you buy this and you hurt yourself then you're hurt. If you buy a gun and hurt yourself or someone else at best you shoot yourself through and have a stupid story at worst you have a court date and a news slot.

I don't think anyone is saying that people should be denied their constitutional rights so I'm not even arguing that anyone is, but I've run into some people that really think that if you aren't on the range every weekend and doing drills then you have no business having a gun on you at all. I always hated this gate keeping attitude. The irony is that most of those people are usually pretty terrible shots and would rather take a cheese grater to their face then jog a mile. I've met people (and none locally thankfully) that are e a "safety instructor^TM" and they're always super excited to throw criticism at you. Had one guy tell me that I'm destroying my pistol because i'm using the slide release. But you can't argue with him.... hes the "safety instructor". What I hate more is how overbearing these guys become to new shooters and piss them off or intimidate them away. Most guns safety, I would say, is good common sense. You get people that have it and you get those that don't. I'm not a certified anything, but I tell most friends new to firearms that they should spend time and money on training, and just be very conscious to put good safety practices forth, Get a good holster, just assume that it's always loaded..etc and as long as they do that they're more likely to die in car accident than shoot themselves or someone else. A lot of people don't have any childhood experiences that ingrained the safety practices so they just have to be extra cautious.

that's the beauty of working from home. no excuse to not be strapped when I have family that confronts me with why I'm always carrying a gun I just tell them it's for the decepticons, and when they say somethig like "there aren't any such things as decepticons!" i just tell them they're welcome.

Here is something I found on a search. I had thought I had heard that in the past something was passed to grant immunity from prosecution to drivers who hit protestors that are actively blocking a roadway. Maybe too for @TomInMN 's question; if you hit other protesters in an effort to escape an attack from attacking protestors this may grant you some immunity, or at least make your lawyer's job easier. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/tennessee-senate-passes-anti-protester-bill/99122244/

I think now they're a kind of a collectors item, its like owning the worst gun ever made.

gotta get one of these guys, they are known for world-class ergonomics and flawless function. some might say this is the "gun of the future"

I used to really like Dr. Who OK and then they went woke and destroyed the show.

you have to rethink how you attack hills and embankments for sure because of the lack of traction. Sometimes turning while approaching a hill will just slide you all the way to the bottom. before it took about 4 hours to do the whole yard, and now it takes about an hour. A nice zero turn sure does it's job but you cant ride them like you do a regular lawn tractor.

Looks like California is in the clear....for now. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/14/politics/california-federal-court-second-amendment-high-capacity-magazines/index.html#aoh=15974521097446&referrer=https://www.google.com

Be right back, going to find a sunken pirate ship. Thats a sweet 1911.
