    Gun control

    A gun is definately not a failproof device that will instantly save your life and the lives of everyone around you. There are also times when used irresponsibly a gun can make a bad situation worse. However, a responsible gun owner that keeps and maintains a firearm is not likely to ever be in a...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I dont have the best memory in the world! But i really dont remember putting 40+ hours into many of those this year, but i am also not a completionist so that may be the difference. I barely get 5 hours on a good week to game, so they all kinda run together at some point

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah, i rarely buy new games besides the mega blockbusters that i am interested in. The other stuff i wait for sales or maybe buy used. I just dont think its possible for a dev/publisher to put out a AAA single player game that has 40+ hour storyline anymore. The budget gets so rediculous and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This is going to either turn out really good for the gaming industry, or really bad... Either way it's going to still hurt the consumer that liked the used market. But who didn't expect this? The video game industry just got too damn big. How many developers went under or are damn close this...

    Primarily for class 3 or anything that goes on a form 4 and requires a tax stamp. Short Barreled Rifles and Suppressors mainly.

    Since my thoughts and opinions have been stated many times in this thread, I'm just going to respond with facts and info. NFA Trusts do not violate or circumvent any laws. They were created as more of a covienience than anything. The whole point of chief LEO signature is to put a paper trail...

    I think we just had some awesome and rational pro gun posters in this thread that made very valid arguments and managed to sway general opinion! Just wish the rest of the US was as sane as most of us here

    Gun control

    Ohh i know, and i have no problems with them at all. Especially if it can get a few guns out of the hands of the criminal element. I was more or less commenting on the private buyers showing up. The only problem i have with gun buybacks is when they actually end up with a rare or valuable gun...

    Ok i replied to all the PM's, good to see some interest. Here is a link to thier website and FB page. The website is horrible but i am working on a new one for them. I actually used the board for the first time over the weekend and it really worked out well. I dont know how much demand...

    Rob Zombie's - The Lords of Salem

    I liked his Halloween remakes, just because i am a fan of the series and thought they were better than everything after the original 3... Not great but OK. Corpses and Devils Rejects were just awesome. I really liked Devils Rejects alot, very different movies with some completely fucked up...

    How about a check box on the 4473 form stating "I would like to donate $5 to blahblah mental health fund" I know i always donate a few bucks to my state department of wildlife when i efile state taxes just because it is on there. That would go a lot further than a mandatory tax.

    I think an annual eval would be a bit much. I would probably be ok with an initial eval and abilities test. Something similar to a driving test with a written portion on your states SDA laws and gun saftey. I am not sure about other states, but in Oklahoma if you were born after 1972 you have...

    Right on! Good to see some players! My buddy has come up with a really neat magnetic scoreboard for Crickett and number games, it works really well and is very reasonable. I have about 10 boards set aside for demo purposes, so if anyone is interested PM me your info and i will have them send...

    Anyone play? Dart Board in a game room/man cave perhaps? I am helping a friend with a product he came up with and would be willing to ship out a few units to get some feedback if anyone is interested and plays.

    Gun control

    That's exactly what I'm talking about. Rounds like .380 ACP, 32 ACP, .25, .22 etc. The bullet does not expand properly and penetrates far less than a .380 FMJ. That's why recent data suggests loading the pocket pistol calibers with FMJ for SD roles. That's why one of the standards of testing...

    I think it is just the general feeling that My Ford Touch is just a pile of crap. And i like Ford! Hopefully they sort it out at some point.

    I bet its no where close to 2-4mpg, probably something like .2 to .4 heheh

    Buying a car?

    You will probably end up having to do some digging to find out exactly what it does on your particular car. I think in general they just try to get to the highest gear in the lowest amount of time to save fuel economy, but there are so many variables that i doubt any of them work great for every...

    Gun control

    I know it sounds dumb, but when you are dealing with the pocket pistol calibers it is surprising just how much energy and velocity is lost when you hit multiple layers of heavy clothing. A fatty with a leather jacket and a few layers under it is going to be hard to stop with a small round...

    Gun control

    Well, its true quite often. Especially when you get to the lower end of the spectrum. Something like a .380 acp doesnt have enough "oomph" to penetrate well with JHP's. Especially in winter months when heavy clothing is a factor FMJ .380acp can be more effective overall than JHP's.

    Couldnt find the original paper i was looking for but i did come accross this video that was shown at a few training classes a few years ago. It does a good job of describing wound characteristics between common rifle and handgun rounds. It is very graphic, be warned...

    Gun control

    Handgun rounds in general are poor stoppers (minus the various magnum types, but most platforms for them are too large for SD roles). A .38 is on the extreme low end of acceptable SD rounds. See the FBI in the 86 Miami shoot out. And honestly, more effective stopping power is better for...

    The majority of the executive orders he passed are already laws on the books that are not implemented/enforced. Most well adjusted people are not opposed to them. And yes, there are some extremely retarded gun owners that go apeshit over any type of regulation at all. The type that Kruegen...

    Well Biden said assault rifles are too hard to operate and all you need is a double barrel shotgun. I guess this is your idea of a reasonable gun owner. I personally don't know of anyone in the industry with those views.

    And this is supposed to upset gun owners? I dont even understand your argument. The "National Rifle Association" receives funding from companies that design/sell rifles and magazines for rifles? Shocking!!!
