We’ve tried an Assault Weapons ban before, it accomplished nothing except breaking the Democrat hold on the house and Senate for almost 20 years.

People have to realize that there is a fair middle ground here. Just because a manufacturer produces guns, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t buy their other products.

Some folks have theorized that increasing high energy solar radiation as our sun ages will cause enough silicate weathering that the fixing of C02 via Silicon Carbonate will collapse our atmospheric carbon content to levels so low they lead the cessation of C3 Carbon Fixation and thus the end of all photosynthesizers…

Even that brings you back to the sluggish inline 6's they used to plunk into some wagons in the day. You are not going anywhere quick

The guilty are mostly long dead and this sort of “justice” won’t feed people, it will kill them with starvation. The successful farmers will leave (if they are liquid enough to start over elsewhere) or be murdered, and they will be replaced with cronies and “soldiers” of the party, who don’t know how to run a…

If the land seizing actually occurs large scale, this is just going to turn South Africa into Zimbabwe. And as the economy implodes, so too will the protections for wildlife and the standard of the living for all South Africans, black or white.

It’s damped and has electronics bits, so no, it won’t just be a matter of disconnecting the cables, drop it half way open, and lift it up.

It also went from manual to powered and has a big extra hinge for the little flappy thing.

Seeing as how the new tailgate has all kinds of powered greebles, I can imagine that weight savings on these moving parts is very important.

Yup, and when they’re all good layers, you’re talking 300 eggs/bird/year, so unless you’re willing to put in the effort to market and sell eggs, you’re going to be giving free eggs to everyone you know because you just can’t eat enough to keep up with the production.

Americanas and Arucanas will lay eggs in fun colors.

It’s not like using the oil to reheat something consumes it. You should keep using oil over again until it’s pretty deep brown, and even then you should just filter your oil and put it back in service instead of tossing it.

Do they have a sign up sheet where every other Tuesday you have to sit outside and chill on the cow farm and pretend to be poor?

When the trend line on is flat from prior to prohibition being enacted, yes.

That’s the thing though, even when machine guns were easy to acquire legally, legally acquired machine guns did not get used in crime. For the 52 year span between when records started being kept of what constituted a legal machine gun and when they were banned, there was one homicide with a legal machine gun. Since…

The highest profile example I can think of is the North Hollywood Bank Robbery, which happened 11 years after the Machine Gun registry was closed, however, even if you go back to before the Machine Gun Registry being closed, the ATF says that a legally owned machine gun has been used in crime in the only 3 times US,…

The central issue is why young men think their lives are so worthless that revenge and infamy are more attractive than a future. Another central issue is why existing legal mechanisms to prevent things like this from happening so consistently fail, and why the bureaucrats who were supposed to operate these mechanisms…

When people are trying to convince the public they are working to ban machine guns when new production machine guns have been banned since 1986, it’s not pedantry, it’s honesty.

I don’t dispute that the visual similarities and design heritage of the M-16 and AR-15 make them easy to conflate, what I’ve been disputing is your insistence that using language that deliberately increases the confusion on the matter isn’t disingenuous or misleading. The effort to increase the confusion in the eyes…

The same is true for basically every available modern firearm though. Short of over-under double barrel shotguns, side by side dangerous game rifles, toggle lock biathlon rifles, and some of the really rare and oddball long recoil hunting semi-autos, every single gun in the gunsafes of sportsmen and recreational…
