In the next few weeks you will be able to find her braiding Cindy Sheehan's hair on Kristen Breitweiser's front porch. She will be duely dismissed and forgotten like all the leftist she-dogs. She is a moocher, nothing more. She is "Julia" from Obama's cartoon.

You looked pretty excited about those socks! As for the attendance, clearly the Knoxville Gun Culture feels that Romney has run away with this election. I can't remember such a poorly attended show within the last few years. The expo show before last was the BUSIEST I can remember in Knoxville, ever...and that includes 1994! I did see two MP Shield 9mm's for the low-low price of $599 plus tax and fees. I heard the guy at the table tell a kid trying to talk him down that he can sell those all day long at that price. He may be right, but he had the same two out there the whole weekend IIRC.

If you stayed up for Talking Dead, you may have seen the extended trailer for next week. Merle, in some way, appears next week. I couldn't tell if it was at the prison or in town, or a chuppachabra, however. Well I could, but I don't want to spoil too much =P

I saw 2016 at Downtown West Theater in Knoxville a couple of months ago. The house was PACKED, and it was a raucus crowd. My wife had a physical sympton during the film because she became so upset and anxiety stricken. A Great and scary film.

Can we move on to alien aggression yet?

Ok, so I'm ignorant, so inform me

You could run an H2 or H3 buffer on any pistol caliber or rifle caliber that will work in AR 15. Although, either may be TOO heavy for a suppressed 300 BLK. Never tried a heavy buffer on mine. But a 9mm will run find on an H2 buffer, as will any 5.56. Of course if you go with a marksman rifle, you will likley have a full buffer tube as you mention, so that means a longer buffer anyway. If you run an H2 or H3 buffer on a 9mm, you need to spend $2.00 extra making it work right, namely, drop 8 quarters in the buffer tube before you put in the buffer. Since a 9mm buffer is a little longer, the shorter H2 or H3 buffer will cycle farther back, and beat the piss out of your bolt catch when your 9mm mag goes empty. The quarter keep the buffer/bolt from travelling too far rearward and slamming hard against the catch when the bolt closes. There is a physics law out there somewhere that states your ratio of uppers to lowers will always settle to 1:1. -
Ooh, the elusize red head double-breasted matress thrasher. I have had a couple encounters with those. I was scarred.

.Yeah, but a sychophantic national media can go a long way.

Just want to point out Obama can do executive orders after he loses the election, too. Hopefully Romney would undo them.

I have heard of it with Federal FMJ's before.

Bush the elder hosed us on machine guns, IIRC. But it was definitely Clinton in 94 who signed the aptly named "Crime Bill" which included 100,000 new cops (didn't happen), midnight basketball (what?), high cap mag ban and the AWB. The AWB allows you to have only 2 of the "evil features" found on military styple rifles. The "features" inclouded, detachable mag, bayonet lug, pistol grip, folding stock, flash suppressor/grenage launcher (they mainly meant muzzle device). I may be leaving something out. Anyway, what you say where guns that kept the pistol grip and detachable magazine, but gave up all the other features. You will still note the AR's out there without threaded barrels for flash suppressors. High Cap mags where also banned, except for police, who are better than civilians. Many guns where banned by name. I think the Tec 9 and "Streetsweepers" were among them, but there were a lot. Existing guns and magazines were left alone, but any gun or mag made after the date that didn't comply were not avialable to civilians. I am still stunned that the law sunsetted in 2004.

In regards to Andrew Lincoln's accent, I had posted this once before, but back when I was in school my girlfriend was in the English department and worked with folks that came over from Great Brittain alot, especially Scotland and England. They came to the south to study the various lowland and mountain accents, because they were a bit like a time machine for them, especially the hillbilly accents. It seems those are very close to what the English accents in the Elizabethan era were (because that is when a lot of settlers came over, then moved the hills and held on to their accents due to isolation). Of course, that is rapidly disappearing as even in the backwoods they get TV and internet now. Anyway, somewhere along that whole deal my girlfriend learned that the Brittish had a very easy time with our accents and it is a much more natural fit for them than "Yankee" accents. I can't hear the similarties, but apparently our accent is closer to the "Brittish" accents, than midwest or--God forbid--that horribly painful gibberish they speak up in NYC and Boston. This is all third hand for me, so forgive me if I am incorrect. It was 20 years ago when I learned that.

Latest Class III: Guesses on Wait Time

Form Sent 3-1-12 Check Cleared 3-13-12 Did not get pending date Signed August 31st Returned Oct 11th. On another can Form sent 4-2-12 Check Cleared 9-21-12. Sigh. 5 plus months waiting on the check to clear. -
In regards to NV capability, I have been told that the 512 is NV compatible, you just turn it to the lowest setting. It just doesn't have a single button that takes it to that setting. I have NOT been able to confirm this, because I am too po to have NV. I am sure someone here can confirm or correct me.

I have an Comp M2 and an EoTech 512. I like both, but prefer the 512. If I had it to do over again, though, I would get the model with the transverse mounted battery compartment, and side mounted buttons. I have had no trouble with mine, but I hear that the sideways battery prevents a problem that COULD occur due to recoil. The batteries, when mounted parallel to the barrel, as they are in the 512, can bounce away from the contacts under heavy recoil causing the sight to turn off. I have never had this happen, but I have heard of it when they are used on 308's. Also, the rear mounted switches suck when combined with a magnifier.

Since the tv series departs pretty dramatically from the comic, I don't feel I am posting a spoiler. In the comic, it is Dale who gets bitten in the leg in prison, and the amputation works. Not sure if it will be the same with Hershel, but I think it will. It doesn't mean they won't kill him off from something else later. I hope the show follows the comic in regards to Lori.

To pee with! Lol, it wasn't too bad. I was distracted with work.

I think it's a dikfer.

I hope this is real. The scenario is real enough...I just hope the occurence actually happened.

It is a thread on, k-baffle type. The threads that would have been damaged were on the booster (Neilsen Device) which I left on it when I put it on the Blackout. I have an aluminum rod that I use to check that it all lines up. It is a 9mm can, and I rarely use it on 9mm, but I do need to check to make sure it still has enough clearance for it. I took it apart and haven't found any damage to the baffles either, so I don't think there was a strike.
-
I am hesitant. I didn't care for the whole "Prison and Governor" story arch in the comics. Maybe it will be better in the show.
-
I doubt it. I think you would at least want to watch the first one, which can probably be done entirely on youtube. The book is a long, and somewhat ponderous read, but it is stunning. She wrote the book in the 1950's IIRC, but she perfectly characterizes the mannerisms and arguments that the lefties use today. The path to marxism apparently looks the same every time a society goes down it.
