Thread locked. Posting personal information is not cool, and it won't be tolerated. First and only warning to everyone here. These personal attacks are no bueno. Knock it off. Read the freakin' rules. Personal attacks are against the rules and we can ban you for it. We really want to be hands...

These are the two best sentences in the entire article. I'm glad other people see this too. "You’re hiding behind your age and victimhood status to bully us into silence. All so you can spew lies and accusations of “child murder” without resistance. "

People don't realize how expensive it can be to run a site. This site is small but costs hundreds of dollars a year to run. Even with 1 or 2 ads, it would maybe break even. A video hosting site like YouTube is very expensive to run. They went years without turning a profit. The startup cost of...

Depends on what you're looking for. I've seen stuff go for stupid cheap. I've seen people pay well over retail too. You definitely have to know what the prices are on other sites like Gunbroker and you have to set hard limits on what you're willing to pay. For example, last year there was a .32...

Let me know if you guys go. I enjoy meeting other forum members. The real firearm that interests me is the stainless Ruger 10/22. I want to buy my two children 10/22s that were made in the year they were born. I wouldn't mind picking up an old SKS or something though. Gotta actually put my C&R...

Nice, that is like 5th on my list (behind elk, black bear, moose, and caribou)

Anybody going to the gun auction this weekend in Geneva? There are a few items I'm interested in. Plan to get there right at 8:30. Upcoming Auctions | Hessney Auction Company, LTD. @PbTarget @Bullet Guy

@Airborneguy You ever make it out for elk?

I may be interested in going next year. I've got a bunch of vacation already planned for this year. Getting together for a pig shoot would be pretty cool.

Have you cleared any cookies/cache?

I doubt there will be. I'll bet the seat goes empty until the next election. By the time they primary, a special election won't happen until at least summer. It probably won't be worth it to have one.

I'd definitely lean towards a Leatherman if he's going to be cutting wires. If you can't get things engraved on it right from them, there are companies you can send it out to.

I'd rather one of the members win it. Possible conflict of interest and what not. Just something personal. The other guys here can do what they want. There are a couple ways to run a group buy. 1. The traditional way is for one person to make the order, the product is shipped to them, and...

I tried to see if we could get some sort of group buy through them, but it fell through. They seemed semi-receptive to it. I'll probably try to revisit the idea in a month or two. And, thanks for the karma. I'm not going to enter, but it's awesome you're doing this. Thanks!

Good luck to you.

I am too

LOL. I'm sure these two nitwits aren't biased at all. Of course the police and school resource officer will want more of their people employed. It's like asking a union boss if they want more members. Why not ask the teachers what they want?

I have mixed feelings on Kennedy. He's kind of Libertarian, but he'll throw a curve ball in there every once in a while that I really don't agree with. Hopefully he's replaced with someone who is more Libertarian, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll probably end up with another justice like...

We can't read every post on this forum. Airborneguy, Not knocking you or anyone specifically here...... I really wish people would just report the post and then ignore the offending post or person. There are hundreds and hundreds of posts per day. We can't see them all as soon as they are...

I would guess that there are no bears on top of the mountain

Packing out your shit is proper leave no trace camping. That said, its not something I practice. I used to work outside in the winter and would frequently drop a deuce. The poop definitely sticks around until it warms up.

It's important to note that Heller didn't say just those weapons in common use were protected. It left open the question as to whether uncommon use weapons would be protected. You could argue that. You get into a bunch of "what if's" and a bunch of other questions though. If you want to focus...

I don't like that because that doesn't allow for any new innovation. Things can't become in common use unless they're legal. Stun guns were uncommon when first invented, does that mean they could have been banned?

A 3rd party candidate hasn't gotten even a shred of the popular vote needed to actually change anyone's mind.

I totally understand where you're coming from. In the end, there are only two candidates that stand a chance. I fully agree that my Libertarian vote (and I thought Johnson was a terrible candidate FWIW) is worthless. The votes for the Republican were too. I just don't understand voting for...

If there was a mass vote away from the Republican candidate of say, 15%, towards a Libertarian candidate, you really think the Republicans would just continue on like nothing happened? Or, do you think that they might say, "Woah, we should re-allign our views to get these people back." They're...

Of course it was worthless in NY. Just like a vote for the Republican presidential candidate is worthless. Obviously, you can refuse to answer this, but do you vote for the Libertarian guy or the Republican guy now? A vote for the Republican is probably more worthless. At least by voting for a...

I don't believe they are binary choices everywhere. How did pulling the lever for Trump work out for people in NY? Trump had no chance in NY. Voting for him because he was "the lesser of 2 evils" even though you're actually Libertarian was stupid. The end result of the national election may be...

This is what got us SAFE! It doesn't matter to the anti-gun people.

The Libertarian vote is sending more of a message to show where people stand than a vote for Trump ever could have.

Of course there's a big difference. I still contend that it won't stop someone intent on shooting up a school though. If they're willing to gun down innocent children, they're willing to go steal a gun from Uncle Bill or go down to the crack dealer on the corner and buy one out of the trunk of a...

You live in NY. It doesn't matter who you vote for. The Democrat is going to take the state's electoral votes. Every single person that voted for any third party could have voted for Trump and he still would have lost NY by 20 points.

Yeah, age limits work so well with cigarettes and booze, right? That didn't stop Newtown or Columbine. People dedicated to doing bad things aren't going to be deterred by an age limit. They'll steal guns from a family member or buy them with no background check.

There is no way that charging him with 3rd degree felony wouldn't have been pled down into a misdemeanor.

I probably clean the pistols once every few thousand rounds. I'm not sure if I've ever cleaned my Marlin Model 60 (semi auto 22). Centerfire rifles get cleaned every 500 rounds or so. I clean and wax my wall hangers more than I clean the firearms I actually use.

It's an interesting discussion. I'm going to a class next week that deals with active shooting scenarios. If I have the opportunity, I'll ask the trainer about his thoughts. I did go to a ballistics class last year with Dr. Paul Maurer. He's given lectures to police agencies and talks to private...

Kind of, I guess. Optimally, the bullet would enter, do it's thing, then have just enough energy to break the skin on the back side of the wound and just dribble out of the hole. I guess it wouldn't be expelling all of it's energy in the target, but 99.9999% or whatever.

So, the FBI is right in their ballistic manual but wrong in their choice of hollow points?

People resorting to insults? On this forum? I can't believe it! No worries if you can't or don't want to find it. I was just curious.

Who is to say that the solid doesn't fail in some way in 1 in 5? I'm not super concerned about overpenetration. I'm more concerned with dumping as much energy into the bad guy as possible. More energy = more damage. Hollow points do a better job of this. When you have a few minutes, could you...

I'd rather have the round just exit out the far side. Two holes to bleed from is better than one.

You're missing my point. The video is comparing two bullets. You can't compare two things in an uncontrolled environment. You can't compare two weightlifters when one of them is lifting a bucket of feathers on Earth and another is lifting a bucket of lead on the moon. You can't say broadhead X...

Sure the bullet went through the shoulder blade at the same location?

Saying the HST broke up and only penetrated 4" is fine. Comparing two results with a test that isn't controlled is useless.

Who knows if he hit the exact same spot on the deer shoulder blade. It's important to note that deer have a fairly prominent ridge that runs the length of the blade. If one bullet hit that and the other didn't, results could be dramatically different between the two. Also, as you go further up...

It never gets old.

Saw a link to the poll results on a Facebook gun page. Let me know when your iPhone starts slowing down because Apple knows what is best for you.

HAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Did I mention, HAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry, implementing databases to give to my buddy Cuomo. I'm not sure what's going on. I noticed a little slow down yesterday. I'll talk with the other admins to see what is going on. Maybe get another hamster to make the wheel spin faster.

A significant number of those Republicans were going to stay home. The economy was doing terrible, and unemployment was just under 8% during the summer of '92. For reference, during the recession 10 years ago, unemployment spiked around 10%. Bush's approval rate was in the 30s for most of the...
