Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (11/14/17)The Democrats circle the wagons around their perverts, do everything they can to protect ’em, and the Republicans can’t wait to throw ’em all overboard. The simple fact of the matter is the Republican Party wants this guy gone, but he’s not gonna leave. Rush LimbaughQuote II We have a Navy that can't sail its ships; we have a United States Army Military Academy that is graduating people who are openly communist and anti-American. And now a man who betrays his country, who deserts his men in the face of the enemy, who gets men killed and wounded, gets no jail time! Our military is more broken than I ever feared possible. I'm stunned and disgusted. Col. Kurt SchlichterQuote III Taxes have an effect, and it isn’t an accidental side-effect, it’s an ulterior but central purpose: To weaken and distort the messages that bind civilization together, that keep it functioning. Civilization is made up of very few of these messages: “It is wrong to kill or hurt other people”; “If someone has something you want, you need to acquire consent from them before you take it and that usually means paying for it”; “If you help me get things done I want to get done, I will give you this money.” Liberals and democrats want taxes higher, higher, higher, all the time and they don’t have a set amount in mind, nor do they want to pay for “police, fire departments and park benches”; they just want the taxes to be high, so they can attack that 3rd message that keeps civilization working and functional. Ideally, for them, the tax rate would be 100% and we’d all be fed & sheltered by living on the dole. Then, dependency on the state would also be 100%. Then they’d reach the “fun part” — they tell the rest of us what to do, and we go do it. House of EratosthenesQuote IV “We need a total, I might say, brainwashing. We need to wash our brains out and see a very different kind of world.” Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) Bi-Partisanship be damned! Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) is trying to put the brakes on a bipartisan anti-sex trafficking bill that is picking up steam and appears headed for all but certain Senate passage early next year. The bill, which the Commerce Committee unanimously passed this week, would allow families of victims of sex-trafficking, as well as states, to sue websites like Backpage, a Craigslist competitor, that allow advertisements selling sex with minors to be posted. 17 Democrats agreeing with Republicans and this guy says, "Hold the damn bus!". It really is a swamp. How to survive Thanksgiving! And we aren't talking about Aunt Susan's rotten ass cooking either. Take the opportunity to listen to different viewpoints, suggested Weinraub. Second Amendment, your humble Cob went out and purchased one of those scary black things recently. Seems I'm safer with an AR-15 that without one. The global history of mass shootings demonstrates that the vast majority of these crimes are perpetrated in places where citizen firearms ownership is close to nil. While people can argue about cause and effect, the facts are indisputable. This might seem surprising to people who read a recent article in the New York Times claiming that the mass shootings in the United States are a direct consequence of the high density of gun ownership in the country. But the article is analytically flawed, as Robert VerBruggen detailed for National Review Online. For example, the Times article is based on a study by a professor who refuses to allow skeptics to see his data or his methodology. But let’s hypothesize that the assertions by the professor are correct. It is still true that mass shooting fatalities are heavily concentrated in areas where citizen firearms possession is prohibited. Speaking of AR-15s. A regular commenter here wanted to pose a question to the Horde. The question is as follows, "Which of the big gun manufacturers makes the highest quality rifle in the $500-$600 range?" No mention about optics or other accessories. But I bet you Morons can help this reader out. November 14, 1969, 'Sugar Sugar' by The Archies was at No.1 on the UK singles chart. The single became the longest running One Hit Wonder in the UK with eight week's at the top of the charts. It was the first No.1 performed by cartoon characters. via thisdayinmusic.comNo word about any songs by The Kabooms. November 14, 1960, Ray Charles went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Georgia On My Mind', a No.24 hit in the UK. His cover of Hoagy Carmichael's 1930 standard, became the first of three No.1 hits for the singer. via thisdayinmusic.com Are we all in agreement? Let me wind this up by telling you I have been determined by the cashier at Walmart to be sexist. If she isn't an 'ette, The ONT is offering a cardboard subscription. Northern climate folks probably get it. Ice fisherman surely do. And Kit-Kat fans and/or Taco Bell fans can explain it to all of us. Honey, did it hurt? Genius Award Winners.

Baby Sister Update
So, Joyce and Jessica spent Saturday together: "Joyce and I put a new twist, stretch, balance & bounce into our YMCA workout. The pictures tell the tale. At the beginning of our workout she had the usual, *what are you getting me into? ... look on her face.* As usual, it didn't take much time and/or acknowledgement of her own strength, coordination, alignment and balance before she was saying "Thank you, thank you, this feels amazing ...thank you." Then a well-deserved "spa time". SHE LOVES THAT SO MUCH! WHO WOULDN'T? Our date didn't stop there. After the YMCA we went to Ace Hardware to purchase a few supplies for a fun project we've been working on. Between walking into & through Ace H, then through the parking lot to a hipster clothing store (was just looking), back through the parking lot to the van and then finally through my yard (to said project) and back. Joyce got a FYI.. Walking through my yard could be compared to four wheeling. All the more reason for her to stay tuned into her own thought process and fine-tuned body." Thanks, Jessica! Joyce's birthday is Saturday, and she's really looking forward to having her Minnesota friends in to help celebrate.

(HARARE, Zimbabwe) - At least three explosions were heard in Zimbabwe's capital early Wednesday and military vehicles were seen in the streets after the army commander threatened to "step in" to calm political tensions over 93-year-old President Robert Mugabe's possible successor. The ruling party accused the commander of "treasonable conduct." Mugabe last week fired Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and accused him of plotting to take power, including through witchcraft. Mnangagwa, who enjoyed the military's backing and once was seen as a potential president, fled the country and said he had been threatened. Over 100 senior officials allegedly supporting him have been listed for disciplinary measures by a faction associated with Mugabe's wife, Grace.

How wide open and sweeping is the wording of the legislation? While I have zero problem with cracking down on sites that knowingly peddle this, I don't want it so badly written that the protections for sites that shield them from what other people post (provided some degree of due diligence); for example how could you prove that they know the person is a minor if the ad says they aren't?

Case in point - there was an online petition against Maddox by a group called "Mothers Against Maddox" and Maddox rightfully mocked them and it, even signing the worthless thing himself.
Fast-forward a decade plus later and now he's suing people in court for making fun of him, and also trying to get Patreon to take away Masterson's account because it's "funding" Masterson's jokes (defamation?) towards Maddox. Btw, Maddox's own Patreon gets him about $250 a month while Masterson's Patreon gets about...holy shit, $19,000 a month! Jealous much, Maddox?

83 The bill, which the Commerce Committee unanimously passed this week, would allow families of victims of sex-trafficking, as well as states, to sue websites like Backpage, a Craigslist competitor, that allow advertisements selling sex with minors to be posted.
How wide open and sweeping is the wording of the legislation? While I have zero problem with cracking down on sites that knowingly peddle this, I don't want it so badly written that the protections for sites that shield them from what other people post (provided some degree of due diligence); for example how could you prove that they know the person is a minor if the ad says they aren't? Posted by: In Question at November 14, 2017 10:23 PM (itfg0) ++++ The first clue to the claim about Backpage being bullshit is nobody is quoting the words of the ad.

And then there would have been a sting operation by local law enforcement to but the creeps. Lies. Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at November 14, 2017 10:28 PM (FUu/Z) 99

Calling me "sweetie". It's sexist.
Do you prefer, "F**k you, bitch" ? By the way, my sister used to work at one of those gas stations that sell all the junk food. There was a family, originally from the south, who owned a contracting business. When they came in the morning to load up on coffee, pop, and junk food they would call the women who worked there "honey". The women liked it. They thought it was sweet.

The underage girls getting pimped out by gang members is a serious problem in Atlanta. I think Atlanta is the worst in the country in this area.
Posted by: a masculine trans-gender lesbian at November 14, 2017 10:33 PM (g4lFK) ++++ It's a serious problem wherever it occurs, and it occurs all over the country. That's not the issue. The claim is that people are openly advertising sex with minors. Using this false claim, they are trying to pass legislation making it easier to sue publications like Backpage and Craigslist, which have personals sections. If the legislation is effective, those sites will just close down the Personals sections, as they wouldn't be able to risk the liability. Which is a restriction of freedom for adults. Again, if anyone was openly advertising child sex, they would be making the job way easier for the cops, as they would bust them straight away. It (it being the ads) is not happening.

157 The underage girls getting pimped out by gang members is a serious problem in Atlanta. I think Atlanta is the worst in the country in this area.
Posted by: a masculine trans-gender lesbian at November 14, 2017 10:33 PM (g4lFK) ++++ It's a serious problem wherever it occurs, and it occurs all over the country. That's not the issue. The claim is that people are openly advertising sex with minors. Using this false claim, they are trying to pass legislation making it easier to sue publications like Backpage and Craigslist, which have personals sections. If the legislation is effective, those sites will just close down the Personals sections, as they wouldn't be able to risk the liability. Which is a restriction of freedom for adults. Again, if anyone was openly advertising child sex, they would be making the job way easier for the cops, as they would bust them straight away. It (it being the ads) is not happening.

"But I don't want to be registered," I said. "Well you don't have to vote, she said.) My current driver's license does not require proof of citizenship. What happens when driver's license becomes Real ID compliant? And, you ask for the old form license that is not Real ID compliant.

Also, remember that before Jerry Brown was Pat Brown, who lead the landslide for Dems in 1958 for California. California when from GOP legislature, GOP governor, two GOP U.S. Senators to Dems winning the governorship, the state Senate (which they've held for all but two years since), the Assembly (which they've held for all but three years since), and also picked up a U.S. Senate seat.

So, doubtful. Posted by: Country Boy at November 14, 2017 11:06 PM (oboUC) I think they are saying a student- who was also named Roy Moore- signed the year book in question. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at November 14, 2017 11:08 PM (rb1zT) 238
It's a rhyme. I've been thinking what a weird phrase.

Tonite or before the call, look up all the psych 101 questions that HR people like to ask and have answers ready. Trust me on this. I didn't and lost out to some HR bimbo while applying for a job that required mechanical and electrical aptitude and manual dexterity. She asks me " where to you see yourself in 5 years?" I go "HuH". I knew I wasn't getting a call back at that point. Touchy feely crap for a blue collar job. So go on the internet and google the questions that HR people ask and note them and have answers ready. Cause the person doing the interview most likely has NO idea what the job really entails. He's just got a list of items to check off for the type of person they want. They probably don't care about your actual qualifications. They're more interested in the kind of person you are. And if that doesn't explain the problem that this country has nothing will.

AR15 suggestion.
It's quite easy answer. Monitor gun.deals website Keep eye out for Ruger AR15 which have been going for around $450. Essentially lifetime warranty (unwritten lifetime warranty). Spend the extra money on a Holosun HS503GU which turns itself on at the slightest movement so battery life is counted in years. Has a circle + dot reticle so that the circle is useful for stressful home defense situation while the dot is used for longer distance range targets.

Not a difficult thing to do, not very many tools needed, literally as EZ as watching youtoob videos and doing some research into specifics and parts good/bad. It can be put together in a few hours time. ARs are the lego sets for adults. Not expensive either for a quality gun. Just buy quality parts and were needed spurge for better parts... the internet is your friend the only FFL part is the lower.

As always dropping in late, but GGE, doesn't Fiocchi make the Jap calibers for Arisaka still? I seem to recall they did annual runs of all the historical oddball calibers (well, a lot of them). Which would be a commercial source for Arisaka food.
I didn't even see what X-ray was asking, but assuming that milsurp rifles was the topic, then M-1 Garand. The easy, correct answer. Still available in great condition from the CMP for around $700. Commercial ammo is around 70-cents/round these days (PPU). Or, about 30 cents/round if you reload (just loaded 150 rounds the past two days).

Speaking of WWII rifles, just finishing a short book that is the story of a young Austrian in a mountain division of the Wehrmacht who ended up being one of the premier snipers on the southern part of the eastern front. He used a Mosin sniper pick-up for most of his time, then - ??? - have to go check, but he was issued a new German sniper rifle after doing training back in Austria that was really just an excuse to get him home leave.
Interesting tidbits were that the Germans originally had little use for snipers, didn't even a field manual on the subject until spring of '43 - they gained an appreciation for the technique after the Soviets had put so much hurt on them with their massive sniper forces (the book's subject once shot 17 female snipers out of tree-tops in one engagement during the long bloody retreat following Stalingrad - 17). Also, he fought as regular rifleman during the chaotic Carpathian engagements when the Romanians suddenly switched sides - using the freshly issued Stg-44.

After the "Roy" the ink changes to blue and the word "Moore" is written looking like someone tried copying from the "ore" in the word "more" in the top part and the capital "M" from the word "Merry" then it all changes to printed words but the "77" in the top, black ink, part is different from the "77" in the blue ink bottom part.

Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at November 15, 2017 12:49 AM (di1hb) The blade of a slot screwdriver should be ground to a slight, but visible convex lens profile when viewed end-on. Like this: () much exaggerated, of course. The edges of the blade should be maybe 60% of the thickness of the middle. A screwdriver blade, so ground, will engage the slot of the screw on the flanks of the curve, instead of just on the corners of the blade. You can apply a lot more torque without morking up the screw slot, and there will be less chance of the blade "camming out", and marring some fine woodwork. The exact same principle is at work in Snap-On's "flank drive" wrenches and sockets, which do work better than true hexagons. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 15, 2017 12:57 AM (oPNmq) 489

And to answer your earlier question, yes most of them were ground or struck through to deface them. The ones that are not so marked are more highly prized, and if the numbers on the bolt, barrel and receiver all match even more so. If it's a 6.5x50 it's most likely a type 38, in which case it should have the dust cover over the receiver. Don't believe the stories about the Japanese soldiers removing them because they made noise. Those rifles were all property of the Emperor (hence the mum), who was regarded as a god, and a simple soldier just does not deface the property of the gods. In most cases where the dust cover is gone it's more likely one of those dockside retrievals that I was talking about. After the war they were disassembled and interred in Tokyo Harbor. Probably a lot of them still down there. Posted by: GGE of the Moron Horde, NC Chapter at November 15, 2017 01:15 AM (vbvxt) 501

I was gifted an old single-shot pistol. The barrel screws off and I guess that's how you load it. It has an open sear which doubles as the rear sights. It was jammed up, maybe misassembled, and I could find no markings. So I took it apart. No markings anywhere. And my dumb as didn't think to take pictures of it first so now it's pretty much a mechanical jigsaw puzzle.
Posted by: Johnny at November 15, 2017 01:20 AM (kUotE) 505
CB, I don't think building an AR is that difficult. The only part that gives me any pause at all is installing the barrel into the upper receiver, and I don't think that will be that hard with the proper tools. Most of it looks pretty simple. Of course I need to get the parts and a few tools and actually get around to doing it. So far that's been the difficult part.

search Carcano Arisaka for lots of info on the type. TL;DR: IJA started war in China, circa 1937. IJN, who got their small arms from IJA armories, didn't think they were getting fair share/what was needed, so contracted with Italy. Production stopped on or before festivities commenced in 1939. no one is sure how many, if any, were issued. Posted by: FBI PAO at November 15, 2017 01:21 AM (kb/by) 507

It would take me so long to find all the right stuff to put the thing together, I'm sure I'd keep forgetting something. Same with the parts.

if you can follow a recipe, you can reload ammo.
as for building an AR-15, the one really sticky part, as i grok things, is head spacing the barrel to the BCG. everything else is straight forward, except for the occasional small part or spring that wants to go sailing off. simple solution, even if you aren't mechanically inclined, is to buy the assembled lower of your choice, then buy the assembled upper/uppers of your choice, pin them together, which ANYONE can do if they can tie their shoes, and go shooting.

Hat - I suppose my answer is off-point, but since I don't anticipate SHTF, am not prepping in any way for SHTF (earthquake/short-term disruption preparedness yes, extended SHTF stuff no), I don't anticipate improvising my own primers.
And of the components (brass, primers, projectiles, powder), primers are the second cheapest and smallest, so stockpiling those makes as much sense as stockpiling the others. And if you have the others, you'll have primers. But since you "know stuff" about chemicals, are there household items from which one can McGyver primer materials? (reconstructing the anvil, the mechanical portion of the primer, seems impractical, so it's academic, but curious). Posted by: rhomboid at November 15, 2017 02:08 AM (QDnY+) 551

redc, have you seen any sign of a "market response" to the coming ammo armageddon? Any warehouse/discount ammo joints planning to open, any FFLs setting up to be low-cost recipients of out-of-state ammo shipments?
Seems to me most shooters don't keep up with the absurd legal situation here, and will be cold-cocked in January when 1) they need to get another stupid ID to buy ammo, and especially 2) they can no longer buy ammo online.

But since you "know stuff" about chemicals, are there household items from which one can McGyver primer materials? (reconstructing the anvil, the mechanical portion of the primer, seems impractical, so it's academic, but curious).
Posted by rhomboid at November 15, 2017 02:08 AM (QDnY+) It's not so much a question of where to get the precursor chemicals (at least in the opening era of post-SHTF), but of how to make the material without going all explody.

Well Hat, I've got 1,000 times as much ammo as I would conceivably need if SHTF, and multiples of that in reloading components. Since I don't see SHTF happening, and if some version happens, no need for large amounts of ammo, I figure water will be the main issue (where I am, and you too probably).

Enough primer for you. But being able to make it and trade with others is a very, very useful thing. Yes, I'm in a desert, but I could make it to a(n) (artificial) freshwater lake and know people...

Posted by: rhomboid at November 15, 2017 02:26 AM (QDnY+) Primer is far more volatile than smokeless (or even black) powder. They seem stable as is, but making the chemical and manufacturing the primer is far, far more difficult. This is why more basic knowledge such as being able to extract metals from ore, handle glassblowing, making lambic ales/ciders from wild yeast, &c. are the basic of basic skills one needs in order to secure a place of importance in any true post-apocalyptic scenario.

Hat, thanks for the insight on primers. Interesting that they're tricky to produce safely. Had figured those compounds were stable, but then I'm looking at the tiny dab of said compounds in a primer. Large tanks of this stuff would demand respect, I imagine.
My post-apocalypse practical skills are limited - though probably decent in comparison to most of the population - but since I'm gunned up maybe the best approach is aggression, conquest, dominance, and theft, as opposed to trade. Speaking of conquest, time to go finish the book on the Wehrmacht sniper, the part where he retreats from Romania into Czechoslovakia and then (presumably) Germany or Austria. Time is September '44, so Ivan is rampaging and Fritz is thinking "hmm, maybe this wasn't such a good idea". Posted by: rhomboid at November 15, 2017 02:40 AM (QDnY+) 588

Looking for feedback from the Horde: As a qualifier- AoSHQ has been my lurking grounds since it's inception. While I don't comment often, I use ace as go-to for commentary and insight along with the cob's. I certainly consider myself up-to-speed on reliable sources.
Earlier in the Roy Moore thread ace put up, there were several (at least 3) that cited & linked to Thomas Wictor debunking the Moore accuser. Finally, ace answered one of the commenters.--I'm paraphrasing ace:"Please, Wictor is not a reliable source"). I started following Wictor's twitter-feed back in August because he was linked in one of the morning threads on this site. Wictor had debunked some sjw quite well, it seemed. Although I find some of his tweet-storms reaching in areas, on most things he presents very credible evidence. On the Roy Moore issue, his research presented looks factual to me. Now, it appears ace and other conservatives such as Kurt Schlichter (not the #SalonHot25! variety) seem either silent on Wictor or as ace has stated "not reliable...what gives? anyone?

Link: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017 /11/who_planted_the_roy_moore_story_on_ washington_post_reporters_.html I completely mistrust American journalism. I also mistrust 'third wave' feminists who have been running around with their hair on fire since November of last year. Put the two together in one story and I doubt every single word. Yeah, it's come to that. It's war and they know it. They think that any lie in pursuit of their goals is worthy. Also know as Taqiyya. Moore may very well be the kind of man who does not like 'used merchandise'. I'm not saying that's right -- nor am I saying it's wrong. The only way he was going to find that type of young woman in the 'free love' culture of the 70's was by pursuing the very young. Once he married there have been no reports for 40 years of any pattern of continuing behavior. That says it all. Posted by: Ace Tractor Seat Supply at November 15, 2017 05:22 AM (ajiE5) 641

I like the Smith & Wesson M&P Sport line of entry level AR-15 rifles. On the high end, I'm partial to Daniel Defense.

Posted by: Ironwood at November 15, 2017 05:38 AM (3T/nT) I got to train with a Daniel Defense 10.5." Really liked it. Wish I had the extra cash to pick one up for myself. And g'mornin', all.

So now Hannity wants to throw the Alabama race to the Democrat unless Moore explains "inconsistencies" of a 40 year old allegations.
Shut up you dumb fuck. The only thing that matters is to win this seat and prevent a red seat turning blue, that's it. The same as it was to elect Trump over Hillary, it's a binary choice fuck face. Posted by: Kreplach at November 15, 2017 06:14 AM (QhXph) 651

Too bad the GOP is a pile of dogshit. I think he is beyond the GOPe, so this is a step in the right direction. Better than Luther Strange or a Dem. Where is AllenG when we need him?

Anybody else ever spend a day scraping 60 year old wallpaper covered by two coats of paint off a bedroom ceiling?
And now I have everything from hairline cracks at the rock lath panel joints to 3/4 inch gaps between the ceiling panels and the joists. But, it is repairable without removing the old plaster finish ceilings. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 15, 2017 06:25 AM (EyPfd) 655
The question is as follows, "Which of the big gun manufacturers makes the highest quality rifle in the $500-$600 range?"

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 15, 2017 06:25 AM (EyPfd) Yeah, I turned the heat up to ninety, brought in a garden hose, hosed down the ceiling, and waited one half hour. It came right off, easy as pi. Not everyone is going to drag a garden hose through their house for quick home repairs, though. I don't care about the 'rules'. Whatever tool gets the job done.

How did you keep the water from getting everywhere?
Posted by: NaCly Dog at November 15, 2017 06:35 AM (hyuyC) Emptied the room. Put down some plastic drop sheets. Light spray, kept moving around, keeping wallpaper saturated. They use a similar method to get rid of popcorn ceilings, but I think they use tank sprayers instead of a garden hose. Posted by: Ace Tractor Seat Supply at November 15, 2017 06:39 AM (ajiE5) 666

Ceiling, no. But when we moved into this house there was wallpaper in every room, covered in yellow because of the heavy smokers who lived here. We scraped room after room after room. The only remaining bit upstairs is some in the hallway we covered with wainscotting. Posted by: Mr. Roy Peebles at November 15, 2017 06:42 AM (oVJmc) 667
> to 3/4 inch gaps between the ceiling panels and the joists.
Epoxy strips of screening into gaps, then spackle. Did you steam the wallpaper? If you score through the paint in 6" tiles and steam or soak with hot water, the pointing trowel works more easily. Not that I've done that for a living... Posted by: Iowa Pork - the Other Whie Meat at November 15, 2017 06:43 AM (L98xM) 668

Thanks. I have the tank sprayers. I can see the look on my wife's face if I brought a garden hose into the house. Um... maybe not for me. Dislike living in a van under a bridge. Posted by: NaCly Dog at November 15, 2017 06:45 AM (hyuyC) 669

A stone cold bitch to do but there was no way I was going to try and repair that popcorn stuff, it never matches and the patches are blindingly obvious.

Daily Caller has a story that Rahm Immanuel intervened in 2009 on behalf of Imran Awan (remember him?) to protect Awan's father from charges in Pakistan.

Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at November 15, 2017 06:46 AM (+Dllb) I have a smaller room, probably 16 X 14 where all the walls were done in a texture -- not sure if 'popcorn'. I got out my 16" drywall knife and a five gallon tub of drywall compound and leveled it all off. Light sanding and two coats of paint. You'd never know it had once been textured.

Thank you all for the removal advice. It turns out that at least in this room, scraping it dry gives the easiest results. Then a light dampening of the remaining adhesive softens it, and a taping knife takes it right off.
Gonna need to use plaster buttons to secure the panels, but I take a Dremel with a carbide tip, and an attached depth guide. Then I score out a circle for each of the washers in the plaster to allow the washer to be recessed into the finish, instead of on the surface with a heavy coat of mud to cover the buttons. Slow, but it works. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at November 15, 2017 07:10 AM (EyPfd) 677
That bit about the sex-trafficking bill leaves out that the bill has a lot of *good* people opposing it because it could be terribly abused.

Just bought a Ruger AR556 for 499. Excited to try it out at the range this weekend.

I've sold alot of ARS (I work part time at a gun shop and range). The S&W is easily the best bang for the buck, followed by the Colt expanse and maybe the Palmetto guns. The market does not have a lot of junk on it right now and you can get something functional at the at price point from most manufacturers.
I have not been impressed by the Rugers. I liked the SR guns but their budget rifles have not impressed me at all. Posted by: Matthew N Whitticar at November 15, 2017 11:17 AM (y/ehC) 680
I'm not going to get too worked up about Wyden's opposition to the bill. The current political climate isn't conducive to reasoned debate on anything to do with sex.
Besides, 'bi-partisanship' generally means we're screwed coming & going. Posted by: aelfheld at November 15, 2017 02:02 PM (IxDhF) Processing 0.07, elapsed 0.0794 seconds. |
