I can see why he struggled to answer this question, as the term "assault weapon" is both ambiguous and largely meaningless. Gun control advocates have used the term to stigmatize "scary looking guns" for a long time, dating as far back as Californian efforts to ban semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines in the 80's. In all fairness, many gun manufacturers have, at various times used the same term as an advertising ploy to try and stimulate sales of early AR15's and similar variants, which at the time were very not familiar to the shooting public. Today of course, these rifles are among the most popular and widely purchased in America, and the stigma associated with the term has relegated its use to advocates of bans and other forms of gun control. Chipman doesn't want to seem overly supportive of the most radical ideas on gun reform, so his obtuseness is understandable, as well as his inability to define "assault weapon". My guess is his nomination will come down to how Manchin and perhaps a couple of other senators vote, much like most other issues today. They could save a lot of time, and useless sound bites for both sides, if they would just gather up the half dozen senators who are actually deciding all the current issues and have them meet and make the decision ...

$100 to $10000. You'd need to be a bit more specific to get a better price estimate. A standard 1897 would not be rare by any standard, but is a fine shotgun.

I wonder if the bastard ever thinks about what he and his people did at Waco? I'm not saying David Koresh was a saint but, a lot of innocent people died there. And I don't think the Government had any business there.

"Assault rifle" is the English translation of the German "Sturmgewehr", as in the Sturmgewehr 44. This rifle was made during WWII as the earliest mass-produced, select fire, intermediate cartridge rifle adopted and used by military forces. Some sources indicate that Adolf Hitler personally named the weapon, but there's no direct evidence of this and it is known that Hitler was opposed to new weapon development, as Germany's resources and production facilities were already strained. In any case, as it was the first of these types of rifles to appear in combat, the German name stuck and is still used today to describe these types of rifles ...

The key to good tasting venison is not overcooking it. I consider 140f well done. I like my backstop or tenderloins usually around 130-135F. Past 140 and venison starts to get dry and tough. The only issue with wrapping a tenderloin in bacon is that the venison gets to temp before the bacon has time to render. You can find some good recipes and marinades here: https://sportingchef.com

I recently attended a Shotgun class at Top Gun. I found it very informative as it covered safety, capability and limitations of the shotgun in a defensive situation.

When they first came out I thought the capacity was so low at 6rds but now that im older and fatter , I like its thinness and its ability to be carried in a front pocket or belt holster. I got mine used for $358. The slide and striker are a lot easier to take apart than regular XD pistols. When I got it I took out the striker and cleaned the striker channel in case it was gunked up with grime.

I got lots of words in multiple languages I can use for that guy. None of them are acceptable here.

A little while back I posted about obtaining this pair of rifles. I know we have some 22 guys that will appreciate these. These are consecutive serial numbered Remington 40xb's from the CMP. What's somewhat rare about these is 1) They are part of a small Air Force run towards the end of the government contract for 40x's and 2) they are as close to new as you will find out of the CMP. In one case there is zero wear on the lugs or the lug raceways. The other has so little I bet it hasn't been cycled 100 times. The only real downside is the bolt's don't match the guns, but that's basically the way it is with CMP guns. Anyway, I found a pair of excellent condition 20x Unertl's to go on them. I have had mounts on order for 8 weeks and they finally came in yesterday. Headed to a buddies this afternoon to shoot these. I love shooting my custom 22's, but something about shooting these old guns is so satisfying.

Some of the multi-generational firearms I’d pass on shooting, some are more keepsakes than for shooting. I inherited a mass arms 12 gauge from my grand father, had a big crack in the stock, took it to a gunsmith and told him I wanted the stock restored, wasn’t getting shot, just wanted it to look good, he fixed the stock, reworked the gun, replaced the nail they were using as a firing pin and took it to the range. I thought I had inherited a keepsake, as it turns out the shotgun was a throw away, (my grandfather actually picked it up from a garbage dump where it had been discarded because it didn’t work), cut a nail as a firing pin and used it for years like that.

I'm feeling a bit zomibi-ish this evening. I'm also not at all confident in the death totals listed in the chart above. Just recently the government (CDC) has begun to distinguish between "death FROM COVID" and "death WITH COVID". Somehow I doubt we're ever going to see an accurate accounting of this disease.

I process them myself. I’ve cooked a lot of deer meat and discovered long ago medium rare is as far as you’d want to go with it. I’ve just never smoked amy yet. All I’ve smoked is fatty meat like chickens and pork roasts. They always turn out awesome.

I do not remember where the term came from. I do know the military never referred to M16 as assault rifle. Wherever it came from it was a misnomer when applied to AR15. just as AK47 is incorrect for what we can walk in and purchase. We have access to the AKM which is modified. I believe the whole idea of the anti gunners is to be vague as Chipman demonstrated so that agencies can interpret it any way they want effectively removing the legislative branch.

Lemon juice works well to add a bit of dilute acid to tenderize most meats. I use it a lot with grilling and smoking, it s also adds just a hint of flavor as well. No idea about deer meat, as I don't really care all that much for it (I get all my meats from the freezer and stick to beef and pork, either mine or the store's, just as nature intended) but salt, pepper and garlic makes anything better ...

All true, but the term in question is "assault weapon", which is the one I was referring to. Pretty much no one ever refers to AR's and other such rifles as "assault rifles", as that is easily refuted by your argument. "Assault weapon" is the generic term both sides use, or at least have used, when referring to Ar15's, either in endless efforts to either ban them, or as noted, at one time to promote sales ...

Venison can use all the fat it can get - but the smoker is a great way to cook it. I’d wrap it in bacon. Any decent rub would do. Salt and pepper would be fine. So would about any store bought rub for beef. I’d add a little brown sugar and coat it the night before to tenderize it some - it shouldn’t need it but it definitely improves even a good backstrap. The real key is to watch your temperature with a good meat thermometer. Assuming I know the source and that the deer was treated with integrity after the kill, I like mine below 140F for a nice medium rare. Take it up to well done temperature and you might have a dry piece of meat.

Should be awesome. You could use the sea salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic. That should be good. Is the olive oil and lemon juice a marinate?

Same engineers that designed the Kel Tec started SCCY. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. It's on my list.

I have an affinity for Firestar and I wouldn't be embarrassed of whatever I am comfortable with that works. At one point my tackle box gun was a Jennings .22. That one was only dependable with stingers.

I agree and am also a self admitted training junkie. I have taken Fighting Shotgun at Tactical Response this past February and just took Mastering the Shotgun at Top Gun this past Monday and Tuesday. Love that hungry beast. My 870 actually "broke". The lug on the barrel that slips over the mag tube cracked/split. I noticed it in between drills this past Tuesday night in class.

Like some of you have said, I like the Ruger LCP for tight concealment and the Ruger LC9S when I have a bit more room. Both great guns!

I have run two different hollow points through mine as well. It is rock solid. I also have to add, I only own ONE striker fired pistol, being the Browning Baby. I believe in hammers.

I also own a Keltec P32. Before I bought it I did some research and read that it works reliably (no rim lock) if you use FMJ. I've fired a couple of hundred rounds of Fioccho 73gr FMJ though mine with nary an issue. If you want a mouse gun, the Keltec is the smallest, lightest, reliable option out there. I also have a Ruger LCP II which is just a fraction larger than the P32 in length and width, but is quite a bit wider. The big difference is in the weight. The LCP II is 10.6 ounces (unloaded ) and the P32 is 6.6 ounces. When not using a 9mm (OWB), I find myself pocket carrying the P32 a bit more than the LCP II.

All I know is American English, and none are acceptable ether!!!

Cabr'on

My Ruger LC9s is quite accurate and has had flawless performance - it stays with me most of the time. My LCP II gets some airtime and it has never had a single issue, either.

I'd say something about beating a dead horse, but this ones at 128 pages and showing no signs of slowing down. People have expressed appreciation for posting links outside the main media sources. So theres this to chew on: https://off-guardian.org/2021/05/18/how-the-cdc-is-manipulating-data-to-prop-up-vaccine-effectiveness/ The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is altering its practices of data logging and testing for “Covid19” in order to make it seem the experimental gene-therapy “vaccines” are effective at preventing the alleged disease. They made no secret of this, announcing the policy changes on their website in late April/early May, (though naturally without admitting the fairly obvious motivation behind the change). The trick is in their reporting of what they call “breakthrough infections” – that is people who are fully “vaccinated” against Sars-Cov-2 infection, but get infected anyway. Essentially, Covid19 has long been shown – to those willing to pay attention – to be an entirely created pandemic narrative built on two key factors: False-positive tests. The unreliable PCR test can be manipulated into reporting a high number of false-positives by altering the cycle threshold (CT value) Inflated Case-count. The incredibly broad definition of “Covid case”, used all over the world, lists anyone who receives a positive test as a “Covid19 case”, even if they never experienced any symptoms. Without these two policies, there would never have been an appreciable pandemic at all, and now the CDC has enacted two policy changes which means they no longer apply to vaccinated people. Firstly, they are lowering their CT value when testing samples from suspected “breakthrough infections”. From the CDC’s instructions for state health authorities on handling “possible breakthrough infections” (uploaded to their website in late April): Throughout the pandemic, CT values in excess of 35 have been the norm, with labs around the world going into the 40s. Essentially labs were running as many cycles as necessary to achieve a positive result, despite experts warning that this was pointless (even Fauci himself said anything over 35 cycles is meaningless). But NOW, and only for fully vaccinated people, the CDC will only accept samples achieved from 28 cycles or fewer. That can only be a deliberate decision in order to decrease the number of “breakthrough infections” being officially recorded. Secondly, asymptomatic or mild infections will no longer be recorded as “covid cases”. You can't tell you're being played?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?! I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I'd like to talk to you about, and I just heard about a crazy deal on this bridge in Brooklyn, you're not going to believe it!

I believe that you believe this. My doubt is that it is actually factual. Just as Al Gore stood to make billions off his carbon bank scam, you’d be hard pressed to convince me that political folks like Faucci aren’t positioned to profit from this vaccine. Further, you’d find it really difficult to convince me that it was as big an issue as the government and media made it out to be. If the medical community can solve this problem in a year, I don’t understand why we still have cancer and the common cold, other than the fact treatment is more profitable than a cure or prevention. If I’ve learned one thing in this life, it is that when there’s a considerable sum of money involved, somebody’s getting shafted. I’m glad to see that everyone isn’t as cynical as me.

when the market is down gold usually goes up,I bought a gold EFT a few months ago its a slow mover

He's perfect for the guy that brung him. Kinda looks like one of those blow-up girlfriends too. .

Tried dry firing a SCCY CPX-2 at the local gun shop and hated the trigger. Hoping to get my hands on one of the SCCY DVG-1RD (striker w/ red dot) to try out.

Braaaaaains…….

I'm sure none of those guns were stolen.... https://www.wbrc.com/2021/05/09/local-organization-helps-recover-dozens-guns-birmingham-police/

Yep. Can't even call him a Democrat.

one of my kids asked to borrow mine. I knew better

I'd hit it! Her; not the rifle.
