Below is a Stinger Machine Gun. What makes this cool is that WW2 Marines developed it in the filed on the pacific front. This bad boy clocks in at 1200 rounds per minute and was needed as they invaded islands. They made it by taking a version of the Browning Model 1919 that shot 1200 rpm, attached an M1 Carbine stock, a trigger and a modified box full of 30-06 ammo.

Just ran across these and thought they were interesting. Colt M1911 (45 caliber) pistol patent in 1911 Luger Pistol Patent 1875 Colt Peacemaker Revolver Patent

It's probaby a combination of terrain and your antenna system rather than the TV. All the Huntsville TV towers are on Monte Sano Mountain. Lots of rough terrain down there. I consolidated all the iHeart Stations in that market years ago and am real familiar with the radio signals around there. PM me the coordinates from google earth and I can maybe give you some help.

Check out Dick's late st financial reports. They are feeling the lack of patronage from a lot of people, not just gun owners.

Kinda blows the whole “only trained professionals (government employees) should carry guns” argument the liberal has been screaming about all this time, don’t it?

The real takeaway is that one needs to ensure that when they’re ready to get down, their holster is as well.

Alway thought it would be fun to own one of these. I got to ride in one a couple of time at a Christmas tree farm. They would take you out to the back 40 and drop you off to cut your tree down, then haul it back on a sled behind the Weasel while you road. M-29 Weasel in Belgium in 1944

If new gun sales stop, or are heavily impacted; you won’t be able to afford to buy a used gun.

We're a lot more worried - because we're hearing a lot more chatter upstream from the Citi's of the world - with Visa, MasterCard and Amex all talking about the logistics of refusing the transactions associated with ARs. They've already generally decided the optics of it are okay. Basically, they're looking at it and saying, "if Congress is unwilling to act, we are going to use our clout to do something about it." There would of course be a ton of lawsuits - but it takes a bunch of money to litigate - especially against groups that have as much money as the card networks have. The pragmatic reality of the matter is that places like Palmetto State Armory and Primary Arms - and even higher end boutique shops like Daniel Defense, Larue, Noveske, etc. are dead in the water in about 45 days if sales go away. Yes, there will be groups that try to bring alternative payments to the front - but if the cannabis industry offers any lesson - that's a hard problem for a variety of reasons - and you've got to have banks willing to deposit your money at the end of the day. Were I ranking threats to the second amendment, right now I rank Congressional Republicans number one, active state legislatures number two, and this would be a close third.

I would like to see how many businesses actually use them for processing their credit card sales. I bet it is not as large as number as this implies. Most big banks fees are higher on processing fees. So I still say this is all for free publicity. When the smoke blows over they will not enforce anything they've said. They've learned this from the politicians. Funny thing is I have a Citi Costco card. It pays crazy kickbacks. I charge everything thru it and pay it off every month. They don't make interest off of me and I'm averaging about $150 a month in kickbacks. I just used that money this week to order 2000 rounds of 45 and 9mm.
