  1. Here's the UN in Africa - applies equally to NK
  2. My only complaint is they didn't get the last guy! I just hope he doesn't turn into some political show.
  3. I'd say America is better than Croatia, Russia, Mexico, all of South America, Africa, .... well, pretty much anywhere else. I think they agree cause they all want to come here. You call it arrogant. I call it reality. Better is factual. Better economics, civil liberty, freedom, opportunity, safety, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and almost everything else. even with our negatives America is a superior system (at least ATM:() BTW it is better exactly because of what you stated. We believe that all are created equal and have a right to the pursuit of happiness.
  4. Looks good. Another cheap upgrade is a better grip. I hate the standard grip. Here is the one I have used on my AR's and AK's. I also noticed Barrett is using them on their new .338 Lapua the 98Bravo AR-15 Grip Pistol New Israeli MFG
  5. Yeah our early history is really full of corruption and mediocrity compared to now. I prefer what took us up as opposed to what is taking us down. No wonder America didn't become great till FDR. Seriously IWB, OWB, and Maxpedition off body.
  6. as a charitable act, I will gladly take the ACOG for testing on my AR until yours arrives. However, I can't promise it won't get "stolen" in the mean time.
  7. That's what I'm saying! Now what was this thread about?
  8. You are following it exactly. Those are the questions that have to be answered. The original, simple statement was our forefathers thought being a landowning, taxpaying individual meant a vote because they had an incentive for the good our the country as a whole. I think the principal is solid. Those who have no input (investment- ie taxes, business, ownership, ect.) have little incentive to make sure government is checked, balanced and answerable to the people for the good of the nation. Those who only take, will only vote to take more.
  9. I have some and they work fine in my Mossy 500. Don't try them in a semi-auto, though. There isn't enough gas to work the action properly. The main benefit is for tight spaces where a full load may be a problem. they will work fine out to 25 yrds. You can also get an extra two rounds in a pump due to their OAL. Pretty neat, but i would test them fairly extensively in your gun before using them for SD.
  10. Point is, who should vote and what does citizenship guarantee and require. If it requires nothing other than being born here, then it would have to apply to illegals as well. If there is more to citizenship than "being" than my question is - what is it? If investment (taxes) are not a determination of that than what is? My question was pointed to the misguided poster who thinks "investment" in this country is not required and if "investment" is not required than what is the line. I hope he can see that that is exactly the liberal/democrat mentality. Government is power and power is population. A very socialist and communist mentality. BTW it has worked so well for our neighbors to the south.
  11. Should illegal immigrants have voting rights in this country?
  12. They liked it so much and it was so universally accepted that it lead to an incredibly devastating civil war, but never mind facts.
  13. Mako has one. also try Larue's PoBoy special. It has the mount and everything. Mako - Scopes, Sights, Night Vision and Red Dots: Mako Security, Inc. Cheaper Than Dirt - America's Ultimate Shooting Sports Discounter Larue - Optic and Mount Combos:Po Boy Special
  14. You are correct. I was mixing my Hydrashok data with the Gold Dot. Hydrashoks ARE very outdated. Gold dot's not so much. I still think however there are much better options. Ranger-T's are priced well and perform better.
  15. to claim middle ground you sure see things in the extreme. BTW everything you said is what Rush Limbaugh says. If you think Limbaugh is ultra right your not as conservative as you think. This is exactly why conservatives loose ground. We are TOO independent. So much so that we have a hard time finding the middle ground with other conservatives. Not that we should equivocate or compromise but their has to be some smarts involved.
  16. I thought Hero Gear had some? Might try there.
  17. I just got my upper and a new free float HG. The bad part is I just moved and all my tools are somewhere in a box and I won't have a bench vise for sometime. Is there anyone close to Nashville that could help me get these things on? Thanks:D
  18. It is a well known fact that the .357 SIG will make young girls faint and grown women cry in face of your manliness! Seriously though, your 9mm +p load is probably running very close to the .357 SIG - with the exception of the hotter specialty .357 loads.
  19. Already been done. The military has everything from "live fire" towns with explosives built in to CQB shooting house. Here is a link I found interesting. Also the Military Channel will run episodes on these from time to time and they are really cool. AIS - Shooting Ranges and Military Training Facilities - Army Technology
  20. Actually our forefathers did. That is why voting was limited mainly to land owners. If you can't prioritize your life around investment, you shouldn't be able to manage the investments of the country.
  21. 25 to 30 mag difference, but you don't need as many extra shots to take down your target. I had Cardinal/Ko-tonics upper a couple years ago and sold it (shouldn't have). Just picked up a new Stag upper. The 6.8 is far superior to the 5.56 in every way except at extreme range, but at distance the 5.56 doesn't do anything anyway. Here are some of the links i use for info. http://68forums.com/forums.php 6.8SPC FAQ
