stem the tide

If they are selling guns for profit (and or more than 6 per year), and they don’t have an FFL, they are already committing federal felonies. Again, if they are selling enough guns that they have a table at the gunshow to sell guns, and they aren’t actually selling something else like militaria and perhaps a handful of…

Because $40 is just the standard annual membership, they make deals like this in exchange for more money from their “affiliate companies”, their insurance offerings include premium services with more coverage that are not revenue neutral, their training services are not revenue neutral, they solicit donations direct…

Gun show purchases do require background checks, unless you’re talking about meeting someone at a gunshow and buying their firearm. You can’t be a dealer without an FFL, and an FFL can’t sell a firearm without performing a background check on form 4473. Closing the “gunshow loophole” requires banning people selling…

Years ago, the NRA actually believed in gun control as an aspect of responsible gun ownership. What happened to that organization?

I’m sorry if I’m not going to take what CAP says about the NRA at face value, especially when they mention that the NRA spent 35 million on the 2016 election cycle, considering that the NRA spent 32 million in 2012, and 28 million in 2008, don’t actually tie the NRA to Russian donations, and then spend the rest of the…

Because the NRA has 5 million members. The NRA isn’t an industry group, contrary to popular image, the vast majority of their funds are collected from individual members at $40/year and via the “NRA round up” program where retailers ask purchasers to round a puchase up to the next dollar and give the change to the…

I was going to post Pennock’s Fiero Forum, but it looks like they’ve had major site upgrades since my last visit, which shocks me because their software was 20 years out of date 5 years ago, and most of those sites never migrate to anything newer.

We’ve got a broken culture. Banning the sale of new AR 15s when we’ve already got 15,000,000+ in civilian hands isn’t going to move the needle on gun deaths. Further Aaron was killed by a handgun, equivalent in effect to what John Wayne carried in his western movies, not an AR-15. What we really need to do is fix the…

The Corvette has really long gearing and is pretty slippery in the air, it’ll get better than 25 mpg way past 75 mph.

I don’t happen to own a Corvette, but I do agree to a point. The Corvette and the 911 are faster than most “super cars” but they don’t quite fire the imagination like exotic cars.

Sure.

I know it won’t count among the Tifosi and other fans of European exotic cars, because it’s not expensive enough or from an “exotic” enough manufacturer, but you can still buy a Corvette ZR1 with a manual, and it will have more horsepower than any manual transmission sportscar from Italy ever made (even the 7.3 liter…

Ending the war on drugs and letting Big Pharma and local farmers muscle the cartels out of Cocaine and weed, respectively, would do a lot of good for Mexico.

You don’t own the airwaves or the airspace over your land either.

The Bald Eagle was never extinct in Minnesota. The Grey Wolf never left here either.

There’s a process, it’s just complicated and expensive, but it also only protects swords made in the traditional method by acknowledged masters.

Gin is what the British Army used to trick their soldiers into taking Malaria medicine. New Amsterdam Gin was my tipple of choice when I was poor and wanted to make sure that no one else was going to touch the bottle I took to a BYOB.

He wants the clock to last 10,000 years. That’s not a compatible goal with a human habitation site.

Weirdly when I try to click your star, the count decreases. Sorry.
