TMF

I always wondered how this was even enforceable. If high temp solder was used they couldn't simply throw your upper in a vise block and take your muzzle device off; they'd need equipment to heat up your gun (and potentially permanently damage the barrel) and attempt to take it off. So how would they even be able to check if it was 600 degree solder?

Heh, I know my sarcasm is pro level when it isn't even detected.

I worked as a cashier at Walmart for long enough to get a decent cross section of folks on various forms of government assistance. I would also like to believe that it is the minority, and not the majority, of folks on government assistance who abuse the system, but that simply isn't true. We say not to judge a book by its cover, but stereotypes tend to be real time savers. There is no single thing that absolutely identifies a person as a blood sucking leech on the rest of us, but more the totality of evidence. For example, there are a number of indicators that tip a person off as to the character of the person they're dealing with. The immediate indicator being how they dress. This is one of the quickest ways since many people choose the clothes they wear to fit the identity they have for themselves. Of course, this isn't an absolute. My grandfather worked outdoors and was always grungy, when we'd stop into the store. So then there is the way they carry themselves and the way they talk. The simple gestures, or lack of gestures one makes. Like when I say, "how are you doing today" and they ignore you like you aren't there. These are just samples of what I'm talking about when I'm classifying one of these useless people on my mind. Usually within a few seconds you get an idea for the type of person they are. The type of person who has never had a job, or if they did they didn't have it long. They have a sense of entitlement about them, to the point that they treat YOU like a lesser because you're the guy behind the counter, when I'm actually superior to them because I'd logged more hours on the clock as a 17 year old then they have their entire lives. There is no excuse for the existence of those people. Unfortunately, the sexy siren call of government handouts seduces these personality types, and they flock to it. I don't believe that government assistance programs cause this problem, I believe it simply attracts the kind of people who otherwise would be living in shanty towns or under a bridge somewhere until they died of simple diseases before they're 30. The existence of these programs allows for these people to live in better conditions than what they otherwise would, and live longer than they otherwise should. Anyone who is receiving government assistance, who intend not to be, should be enraged most by these people, as they are sucking off the resources designed to get you back on your feet. They are sucking off resources that aren't designed for them. From what I have encountered, the majority are leeches who never worked for any length of time and have no intention of ever working. Just stroll into a Walmart and watch people for a while.

I think you're taking it too personally. Ya don't exactly have to read between the lines to know what the problem is we're talking about here.

If it makes you feel any better, they likely didnt pay for all that nice stuff they have.

Omitting the fact that a significant percentage of the dog handlers are Hispanic was intentional. If the dogs are taught to be aggressive towards Mexicans why don't they attack the handler? Must be wearing some kinda cracker cloak or something.

I found this odd as well, since an overwhelming majority of violent crime, gang activity and drug dealing in Los Angeles County is committed by white people; one would think there wouldn't be such a disproportionate amount of bites on minorities. Strange.

...and not a f*** was given this day.

I'm not in the states right now. Is this a big deal in main stream media?

What he said.

Here's the deal, there's a huge difference between someone who needs assistance and someone who wants "entitlements". Those words mean and imply very, very different things, yet both are often used to describe the same thing. Someone who needs assistance is a person who intends to take care of their own responsibilities at some point. A person who wants entitlements has no desire to achieve self sustaining income or pay their own way; after all, they're ENTITLED to free chow from the gubmint. These are the people I'm speaking of. They've never had a job, never provided for themselves or their own children. They are not people, they are animals with sub-human characteristics. Maybe not even animals, since animals would take care of themselves and find food when hungry rather than sitting around waiting for someone else to provide it. At any rate, those people are not having bad luck, they are simply lazy and entitled. They are not human.

Nope, they still look crazy as ever, just well prepared and crazy.

I have never seen a person swipe an EBT who looked like they missed any meals, ever. Meanwhile, I'm feeding my kids. Last I checked that was a parental responsibility, not the gubmint.

Between the prices I see on Gunbroker and Armslist, it amazes me people actually sell anything. The great AR craze is over and people are still trying to sell their frankenrifles for several hundred more than what I could build on my own from new parts.

[quote name="RichardR" post="1047724" timestamp="1381637106"] Its obvious East, that I believe that in the absence of freedom & liberty, there is tyranny, where as you believe that in the absence of tyranny there is anarchy. [/quote] So it has to be absolutes here? Based on your description of what tyranny is, Americans have been living under tyrannical rule since George Washington was sworn in.

Meh.

Good lord, you've been waiting 10 months for that upper??? I have a coworker who's ordered three rifles from DSA in the past year and got them all quick. The last one was a complete AR carbine which shipped only a few days after order (about 4 months ago). Did they lose your order or something?

Right on. Gonna be a purdy neat piece once it's rebuilt. Not something many folks got laying around.

Done.

Are you talking about a regular lower or the TGO lower? I checked earlier and didnt see TGO lowers available yet.

Momentary thread hijack: My wife and I were staying at a cabin a few months back and they still had an old VHS player with about three dozen cassettes. Of course, one of them was The Princess Bride. Needless to say, we marked an evening on the calendar while we enjoyed that and a couple bottles of wine. We even remembered to rewind it!

I think I'm gonna go ahead and do it then.  It seems like I'll have a pretty unique trigger at any rate, since it seems like there aren't many of these out there.

  I'm guessing the last thing to go through their mind was the safe door, since they likely didn't hear the hissing sound of the fuses on the other side as they were running their cutting torch.

I signed into CMT earlier and saw there was a TGO tab there now.  Gettin pretty excited to place my order and build this thing.

Probably the most relevant argument when debating this nonsense with a liberal.
