If The Media Had Investigated Cuomo’s COVID Response The Way They Did Cruz’s Cancun Trip, Thousands Of New Yorkers Could Still Be Alive

Damn. 🍺🍺

Not far from Lackland...

You are correct.

I still prefer the Strutter Bubble!

Duck, probably some of the best news I've heard in a long time! I wish you all the happiness you deserve!

Since we're discussing memes... Bernie Sanders sitting at the Inauguration takes over internet Two of my favorites...

Since you opened that door, Trump signed a total of one EO on his first day in office repealing the "Affordable Care" Act. Biden signed seventeen his first day.

Oddly, my favorite gun shop here in Helotes--the Gun Shack--just posted they are now a Silencer Shop dealer! Here is their process... Of course, the first question anyone asked was "what's the wait time?" Their response... But this, and the fact Biden hands out EOs like they're Halloween candy, may be the catalyst that motivates me to get a suppressor while they're still legal! Stay tuned...

"Flagler-Mitchell has denied sexually harassing the girl...the Democratic legislator has since insisted that he believed he was sending the photo to his wife....he believes himself to be the victim of extortion." Deny, deny, deny. Counter accuse. Demand apology. Right out of the playbook...

I really hope it is true, as that might convince me to get one! The wait time has been one of the biggest deterrents for me...

Not doubting what you overheard, but gun store employees are notorious for being full of shit sometimes... I will ask around. I was already extremely surprised it was only three months for Viper154, but 18 days in simply inconceivable!

I've been contemplating it for years, and unfortunately the lawyer I was going to used passed away suddenly which has only delayed any decision to get one even more. Your three factors are mine as well, a good can is not overly expensive but not cheap either. Prices have been dropping which is an incentive, but not to the point where I would pull the trigger mainly because... Point #2. The ATF turnarounds have only slowed even more thanks to COVID. It used to be six months for a Form 1 approval and tax stamp, but I hear it's been a lot worse since the Chinese flu hit. Which brings me to... Point #3. Between my 03 FFL (C&R) and renewing my Texas LTC, the government has more info about my firearms than I care for it to have. I am not paranoid, but with the usual talks of greater firearms restrictions under the Biden administration I am concerned. The same thing happened with Obama, so I am not too worried about it; but it only takes another mass shooting for things to get even uglier for gun owners. The Federal government has ignored the Second Amendment enough as it is, and it can only get worse. I prefer it know as little about my inventory as possible. But the biggest factor in all this is, is it worth it? Honestly, unless you are shooting a .22 with subsonic ammo; suppression isn't what most people think (i.e. "silencers"). I am sure you are aware that a suppressor greatly reduces the report of a firearm, but it's still very audible unless using smaller rimfire ammo. I think the novelty of a suppressor would wear off quickly. I've shot several and while it was fun, I really don't see having a long drawn-out love affair with it. And many of those I know who have suppressors don't actually shoot theirs too often. That is probably why I've put it off so long, I suspect the infatuation wears off quickly...

Wait, I thought this was for "a friend?!?" 😲 😲 😲

She's out!

Agreed, but she voluntarily played a role in the matter and should be held accountable just as he was...

Odds are [redacted] = exec...

Seriously, WTF? 😲😲😲

Bound to happen! 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't take long... 🤣🤣🤣

Brit oops! But this was the best bit! p.s. The backstory... "On Tuesday, a Chinook from 28 Squadron based at RAF Benson made a precautionary landing in a field near Wantage following a mechanical issue. Unfortunately, the aircraft soon sank into the field, likely due to the extended period of wet weather that we’ve been experiencing recently. Our engineers deployed to the site to assess the mechanical issue and this has now been fixed; however, the extremely soft ground has made the recovery of the Chinook to RAF Benson very difficult. A tri-Service team of specialists is working hard to safely extract the aircraft from the mud. While it was hoped that it could simply be dug out and then flown home, the risk of damage to the aircraft from this course of action has been assessed as significant and alternative options are being explored, including potentially lifting it from the mud with a crane. We hope to have the aircraft home by the end of the week. We are extremely thankful to the landowners for their understanding and support during this work, particularly the kindness they’ve shown to our team guarding the aircraft during some very cold nights."
