Well I may or may not have two and I'm far from a felon or gangbanger. I like them because it's a Glock that you can fix all the things you don't like about Glock "perfection" while retaining the best parts. I'd be concerned that the BATF would use Polymer80's records to find "illegal" weapons owners and cause legitimate owners legal jearpordy. All because they can. To me this is far more a concern and reality than keeping true criminals from using a Polymer80 product. I too am surprised by magic's position but also know he's far from an unreasonable man. I assume there's context missing. Either way, I'd probably sell him a "ghost" gun. If I had one!

My understanding is that they have t-cell development or develope t cell immunity in process, that kills the virus as the get it. If that's the case, then they aren't transferring it

By all know measures they aren't spreading it and they are getting it at a statistically non-existent/negligable. Also, the Harvard study showed a very strong likelihood that kids either had or were developing t-cell immunity naturally.

Lack of testing, short term side effects, complications with existing medications, complications with existing medical conditions, unknown long-term side effects in otherwise healthy individuals. There is a reason trials usually takes years, not months. While not a vaccine, it is similar to what happened with bith control pills in the 70's. Because it was new, the dosage was extremely high. While effective many of that generations cancer ills of the present, we are dealing with now. 30 years later, we now know there dosage should be a fraction of what it was. Every action has a reaction and sometimes the cure in the short term has to be balanced with them long term trade off. It is actually good if the young, healthy, and not at high risk people hold off a while to let the initial vaccine run the first course. The trade off for "at risk" with the initial trial is an acceptable risk.

I've had two Rossi M92's in.357 mag and tehy have been awesome. Here's a couple resources that make them incredible lever guns.

Its circular. You have first timers and you have speculators. The regular user is crushed by both, but probably more so the speculators. Speculators start drying up sources as demand from first timers rise. I have empathy for first timers, I have much annoyance from speculators. The good part is watching the speculators trying to unload after the tide subsides. Main reason I want the tide to end is so I can start negotiating with speculators on their cache of drawer parts they overpaid for hoping to turn a huge profit. Those are the best most pleasing deals!

Not sure it's a great way to handle that... But wow! Iron sights, no less, moving in a helicopter is impressive!

This ^^^^ Historical context helps to understand application and understanding of a principle at a specific time. Principles transcend dynamic application. In other words, the reason the Constitution transcends time and culture is because the principles are "found to be self evident". What we wrestle with is the "application" of the principle in a changing culture not the principle. However, the leftists are attempting to remove the principle. That is the slippery slope with a cliff into the abyss at the end. Those on our side who can not apply transcendant principles/truth with changing culture are just as bad as those trying to remove the principle all together.

Yeah, and I'm in the middle of dealing with Metro Nashville Codes on a building permit. It's as bad or worse than lumber prices.

Wow, a hog with a .22lr? And I thought 5.56 was way underpowered for hogs!

That's awesome!

I agree. The Californians NEED to be buying all they can get before the state tries to stop it again. Tennesseans could help by not drying up the supply lines unnecessarily. We're on the same page

It's stuff like this that creates the problem. If you were planning on getting them... get them. If not, hold of till supply replenishes. However, if you just have to.. you also probably need to run to the store for milk, bread, and toilet paper RIGHT NOW!

Maybe someone could explain Asian Americans and Indians (from India) in the US?

I prefer CCI Quiet .22LR. I may or may not used it to rid the yard of groundhogs with my Ruger 10/22. Works well but at 720 FPS shoot placement is still important. Bonus is that it's consistent and accurate. Their sub-sonic runs at 1050fps and works better but adds a little more neighborhood noise.

Anytime I'm told to "kindly" anything you know it's an offshore/overseas scam!

Haha, my wife's favorite! If you see one, you have seen them all. It is neat to see how actors have aged. Hallmark appears to be where actors careers go when they're dead.

Interesting. Not at all what I expected to happen!

Interesting, care to elaborate?

Got to say everytime I see this thread pop up, I remember how much I miss Mars. Listening to nothing in particular.

Haha, than you shouldn't be in a gun forum, because "eliminating guns saves lives, so we shouldn't resist". It's literally the same argument on the same premise with identical moral and philosophical points. I can show you just as many studies, journals, physicians, articles, etc to the contrary. There is a reason doctors "practice" medicine. Arogance and assumptions in a dynamic event is not good medicine. Good doctors know that, bad doctors talk a lot.

It's not the way you fight any disease, it is the result of fighting a disease. The purpose of reducing the curve is to let herd immunity develope while maximizing resources for those that need more intensive and invasive treatment. Meaning controlled exposure is necessary and as important as eliminating contact. You need both.

Decreasing odds in one category often increases them in another. That's the nature of a dynamic relationship. For instance, reducing contamination in one category statistically increases the odds of contacting unforseen diseases in other categories. Not to mention weaking an immunity system designed around exposure. The best immunity is herd immunity and isolation is proven to be very bad for both the above. While I am trying not to get it, the best thing I could do is get the virus. Statistically I'm better off that way than any other.

It's definitely real and definitely bad ... for those in the danger zone: elderly and underlying health issues - typically both together. The cases vs. hospitalization still remains extremely low. Death rate is now below .05% overall and the death rate for 29 yrs and younger is lower than the standard flu. In fact, for those bemoaning schools reopening and economy reopening and then claim we (US) are handling worse than the rest of the world, the rest of the world is open and has been open for a while. School in Europe has been open for months at this point and the numbers continue to decline. There is zero correlation with closed economies/schools and reduction in viral transmission. NY is a great case for what happens when you do everything wrong.They did not flatten anything. 35000 dead, but the cases are now in decline and some precincts are reporting an estimated 50% herd immunity now. Essential the virus killed off those susceptible and those left are now naturally immunizing. More could have survived if they had handled things like most other states, but it is an indicator that a second "wave" is not just highly unlikely, at least the way it's pitched in the media and by a couple folks here, but also not how viruses and the immune system work.

My understanding is that a person who has had a virus will have the virus in their system (basically indefinitely?), even though the strain will be dead. Antibodies did their job. The test will be positive since the test only test for presence of the virus strain. So the test only test for the virus strain, not whether it is active or dead. Symptoms are the indicator of a live strain. I'm sure I'm missing some things but that is how the medical specialist I've talked to explained it to me. I will add for the conspiracy desire in us, I've also been told they can tell whether a virus strain is active or dead if they want, but the basic test simply test for presence not status.
