WTF?

M2 can also permanently ban people from this forum so perhaps it's not a wise idea to question his actions... Plus, it's only 214,748,3647 'Likes,' so try to be a bit more precise next time. Lastly, it's been discussed before so Your penance is to post appropriate material in the Squadron Bar Daily Pic & Video Thread NSFW thread.

Note that in gearpig's example he used some "alternate" punctuation as to keep the forum software from interpreting and converting the text as code. For example, in the URL he used ';' instead of ':' and in his embedding example he used the brack '{' instead of '[' Adjust accordingly...

This. .22LR is scarce at the moment, .40 is probably the most available handgun caliber around at the moment. It's easier to find that 9mm and .45ACP. If I see any .22, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat!

Yea, I might just have to succumb to using GunBroker. The biggest problem with that is that it is blocked on NIPRNET at work. Such bullshit. I saw that, and it beats the $55/50 rounds priced box I saw at the gun show this morning. Funny thing though, I stopped by Alamo Ammo and they said they didn't have any. I might just have to swing by their store as I would prefer to score some locally. Otherwise, I may have to just see what I can score via GunBroker. Thanks! M2

OK gents, if anyone stumbles across any 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo, let me know. I've got a Yugo M57 inbound and need to find something to shoot through it... Cheers! M2

This surprises you? I could tell by the trailer that it was going to be bullshit...

Have you ever computed your BMI? There are numerous websites that will calculate it for you. For my age (50) and height (6' 2") I am considered "overweight" at 195 lbs (a BMI of 25.4, anything over 25 is considered "overweight"). I am a couple of pounds over that, so despite running three miles three times a week, and exercising three other times a week, I am considered "out of shape" yet I am in better shape than at least half if not two-thirds the uniformed Air Force personnel I see where I work. By the way, I also wear size 36 waist pants. Not sure what my "official" waist measurement would be as being retired, I honestly don't give a fuck!

It still is if you know where to look. I just scored 400 rounds of Yugo M67 (7.62x39) for $75 in the wooden crate. Sure, it was via a private sale; but deals like this are out there. You just have to keep looking and strike quickly when it pops up...

Not according to the Texas Ranger I talked with the other day! I know it's not always been like that, but I know in recent history (last 20 years or so) it's been that way.

Yeah, like 3AF/CC Lt Gen Craig Franklin for overturning the conviction of Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, former 31 FW IG at Aviano? UCMJ Art 60 gives Franklin the right as convening authority to overrule the court-martial, but look where that decision has landed him. Every decision will be scrutinized by higher headquarters and civilian leadership alike. We might all wish we/they had the authority (and backing) to make such decisions, but the truth is that most leadership is watching out for their own ass more than anything else's... The "system" is fucked...

That'd be Specialty Sports & Supply on E. Fountain. It's a usual stop whenever I'm up in the Springs. Prices are high (Rocky Mountain high? ) compared to Texas, but it's a fun place to wander around and they do have a pretty good selection of stuff. I wonder what Dragonman is gonna do?!?

Yet the whole time he played Walker Texas Ranger, he had a beard (Texas Rangers are not allowed to have beards). He also wore a black hat, Texas Rangers don't wear black hats.

Springfield 1911s are the shit, I have had four before the tragic boat accident and loved them all, from the basic GI to the Lightweight Operator. I would love to pick up a TRP (the FBI uses them and they are simply outstanding pistols), but alas I fear it would suffer the same fate and end up at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico (damn seagulls!)... As for the gun show and background checks, basically you're saying it was business as usual, right?

He doesn't look that bad... I sure as hell have seen a helluva lot worse!

Truthfully, if nsplayr actually did some homework on the issue he'd find that there aren't actually many guns being sold illegally because of the lack of background checks. It is another liberal-generated myth like "the gunshow loophole" of which the anti-gun clowns are clueless as well. I would be convinced these measures would work if those that propose them could prove that they're needed; but the truth is they are not. Blaming firearms for crime is ridiculous, and creating stricter laws only hampers law-abiding citizens; but that doesn't penetrate the liberal mindset (facts rarely do). Just like the six-month old killed during the drive-by shooting in Chicago last week, nary a word is spoken about the criminal who shot the gun only that a gun was used. And what about that city's strict gun laws? That is also overlooked because it is only proof that the Democrats are wrong on their position, and God knows they'll never admit they are wrong (like Feinstein, they will keep making up stories in vain attempts to prove themselves right!). Reid is at least smart enough to know that such proposals will have significant backlash, which is why he killed Feinstein's proposal. That also shows how stupid nsplayr's claims that 92% of Americans support such measures, he too is victim to the whitewash and too ignorant to admit he's completely wrong about it.

Bullshit. There is no "win-win" for private sales, just added costs and administrivia. If you honestly don't believe it will be a de facto form of registration, you're sadly mistaken. Plus, the main reason to be against it is that it will have no effect whatsoever on gun crime. Criminals will still illegally obtain firearms through various sources, and crimes will still be committed with legally-obtained firearms. "Universal background checks" is just yet another liberal "feel-good" measure that has no real benefit at all. Just like "assault rifles," high-capacity magazines" and all those other made-up, mythical threats the Democrats pull out there ass; they once again fail to recognize the true cause of the problem and the fact that such laws and legal measures have never and will never have any impact on crime rates. Quit blindly spouting the party line and actually think about what you're saying for a change... Wow, "1,110 adults nationwide" What a broad sweep? Were they all in NY, California or Chicago, or some other liberal. If you can't do any better than to quote a poll that asked 1100 people out of 315 million (you do the math) a question and think that it represents the entire nation, you're just all full of fail! Take that poll in Texas and tell me what the results are. As for the rest of your dribble, you're just talking out your ass again. None of it is worth responding to... Nice, but ya need some forward cant to them... No worries, I am about ready to block nsplayr from posting in this thread. He's just polluting it anyway...

WTF, Butters? Responding almost a year later?!? And your grammar sucks ("to" --> "too"). Go find and post some appropriate visual material for the Squadron Bar Daily Pic & Video Thread NSFW thread...

Yeah, good luck finding cheap .22LR these days, or simply finding any at all!

"Merely Canadian..."

Nice Duc, they're a blast to ride. And don't be embarrassed by your Bavarian brick, that's a seriously solid motor that's been around for ages. They are true autobahn cruisers!

Quibbling.

I'm wondering how he ever zero'd it in. Don't tell me a SWAT officer is using a weapon he hasn't sighted in...

Ted Cruz kicks ass! Makes me even prouder to be a Texan (if that is even possible!)... The man isn't really a "gun guy" from what I understand, can't find pics of him hunting or shooting like many Texas politicians; he just understands and respects the right to be armed and is willing to fight those who want to take that away. All I know if the man ever makes it down here to San Antonio, he won't get the chance to pay for his own drinks!
