  1. Dayum - i want to work where you can shoot during a lunch break
  2. So this week the wsj published a responsive editorial to this article. It is stellar "As for the cam­paign for zero cash in the ser­vice of neg­a­tive in­ter­est rates, Mr. Ro­goff’s brief is best seen not as de­tached sci­en­tific analy­sis but as a kind of left-wing crotchet. Strip away the tech­ni­cal pre­tense and what you have is pol­i­tics. The au­thor wants the gov­ern­ment to con­trol your money. It’s as sim­ple as that."

  3. Nice collection! I may have a spare 49/56 i can let go. Let me check....
  4. I know that part - i was wondering how the clones differed from these builds? Aren't there some differences?
  5. As a devils advocate question - what would be the feature difference between this built gun and one of the clones out there?
  6. All right ya cheap bastages ... I can't copy the full Article but here are some select morsels for your enjoyment To be clear, I am propos­ing a “less-cash” so­ci­ety, not a cash­less one, at least for the fore­see­able fu­ture. The first stage of the tran­si­tion would in­volve very grad­u­ally phas­ing out large de­nom­i­na­tion bills that con­sti­tute the bulk of the cur­rency sup­ply. Of the more than $4,200 in cash that is cir­cu­lat­ing out­side fi­nan­cial in­sti-tu­tions for every man, woman and child in the U.S., al­most 80% of it is in $100 bills. In turn, $50 and $20 bills would also be phased out, though $10s, $5s and $1s would be kept in­def­i­nitely. To­day these smaller bills con­sti­tute just 3% of the value of the cur-rency sup­ply. Per­haps the most chal­leng­ing and fun­da-men­tal ob­jec­tion to get­ting rid of cash has to do with pri­vacy—with our abil­ity to spend anony­mously. But where does one draw the line be­tween this in­di­vid­ual right and the gov­ern­ment’s need to tax and reg­u-late and to en­force the law? Most of us wouldn’t want to clamp down on some-one’s right to make the oc­ca­sional $200 pur-chase in com­plete pri­vacy. But what about a $50,000 car or a $1 mil­lion apart-ment? We should be able to re­duce the prob­lems I’ve de-scribed here while also en­sur­ing that or­di­nary peo­ple can still use small bills for con­ve-nience in every­day trans­ac­tions. And my favorite. this refusal to see that negative interest rates is a signal of a bad economy thus savers hoard cash In prin­ci­ple, cut­ting in­ter­est rates be­low zero ought to stim­u­late con­sump­tion and in­vest­ment in the same way as nor­mal mon­e­tary pol­icy, by en­cour­ag­ing bor­row-ing. Un­for­tu­nately, the ex­is­tence of cash gums up the works. If you are a saver, you will sim­ply with­draw your funds, turn­ing them into cash, rather than watch them shrink too rapidly. Enor­mous sums might be with-drawn to avoid these loses, which could make it dif­fi­cult for banks to make loans—thus de­feat­ing the whole pur­pose of the pol­icy. Take cash away, how­ever, or make the cost of hoard­ing high enough, and cen­tral banks would be free to drive rates as deep into neg­a­tive ter­ri­tory as they needed in a se­vere re­ces­sion. Peo­ple could still hoard small bills, but the costs would likely be pro-hibitive for any re­al­is-tic neg­a­tive in­ter­est rate. If nec­es­sary, cen­tral banks could also slap tem­po­rary fees on any large with-drawals and de­posits of pa­per cur­rency. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. WSJ op Ed The Sinister Side of Cash http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-sinister-side-of-cash-1472137692 Major implications on gun buying here...... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Very interested- will these builds be on flats i assume?
  9. No such thing as a flare gun Just flare launchers or signaling devices .... Now if you put something else in them they can magically turn into a destructive device.... "Section 5845(f)(3) excludes from the term “destructive device” any device which is neither designed or redesigned for use as a weapon and any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device." https://www.atf.gov/file/55446/download
