If you want to work for the FBI you need an accounting degree. That is about the only degree that means anything to them. If you are wanting to work in any other law enforcement just about any other degree (besides CJ) is fine. Plus it gives you somewhere else to go if you burn out of LE. MANY LE leave to do something else before they become cynical, divorced, and crazy. You are correct that Parks, Wildlife officers etc. usually need a biology degree of some sort. Learn to be content instead of "satisfied". "Satisfied" usually equals complacency and that will eventually catch up with you and hurt you. Here's a good quote: " Contentment is being happy where you are, while you work towards where you want to be." Never stop aspiring to be better. If even if you stay in the same field for 50 yrs. always strive to be the best.

I have a feeling there are some frequent posters in the FS threads that may end up with these guys down the road. Remember, it is up to the ATF to interpret and perceive what constitutes violations. Be careful guys. It's like the IRS. You don't want to be on their radar.

Leroy, I hope that is in fact the case and Roberts is actually smarter than he appeared yesterday. I fully see all that you stated, but I have a dark side of me that says the nuances as you stated will not be interpreted that way by future courts and legislative bodies. Either Roberts outsmarted Obama, congress, America, and his own court or he is another conservative that got taken in by the DC disease.

It's kinda mute now but, the bill was not passed as a tax IIRC. By the Constitution the SCOTUS can not create a tax. I guess I'd have to read deeper, but I'd say the SCOTUS acted unconstitutionally by declaring a tax.

Some people just need to be heard. I don't get it. I understand the sentiment but like what my wife always tells me, "its not what you say but how you say it." Personally, I think this works against him. Its also rather arrogant of him/her to think his opinion is important enough to abuse the flag in that manner. As the scripture says, "no one should think more highly of themselves than they ought."

If it helps, it tells me there is an error and that I don't have authorization to change thread title.

Eh, I've heard worse about Christians, Southerners, and whites just in this thread. I also thought we weren't supposed to judge an an entire group by the few individuals that we deem "radical"? That works for Muslims but not for Southerners, Whites, Conservatives, and Christians?

I have no doubt there are varied experiences. I tend to see the so called "persecution" happens when Islamist insist the common culture defers to their culture. IMO that is not persecution. That for centuries was known as immigration. The folks that just work and worship how they will tend to not have all that many issues.

I've worked with the kurdish refugees since 97 and have been involved with the School of the Medes here in Nashville. I've not seen our heard from them that same sentiment. I do, however, hear that from white people and liberals who assume they know their experience and need someone to fight their battles for them. The ones I've dealt with are excited to be here and are burdened to help the families they had to leave behind make it here to share the experience.

Man you have a high opinion of your "arguments"! I questioned your premise and now we are at a pity party. Facts are one thing, broad generalized assertions based on ones personal observations lead here. The only way to debate a personal observation is to address the person who is the stated observer. It's only personal because your arguments are personal. Just because I disagree with your premise does not make it personal, but that's where you framed it so thats where it went.

You made no factual argument other than to try marginalize Islam by using selective parts of "Christianity" out of context from 1000 plus years past to justify your statements. Your argument is not about the "facts" but an attempt to make this debate one solely based on prejudice and religious contempt, as you perceive it, by anyone who disagrees with you. Emotion based debates don't farewell. The comparison to the Trayvon threads is valid, because you did the same thing there. Deriding everyone who disagreed with you with as racial, prejudiced, and narrow minded the same as you have done here. It is a pattern. Just Say-in.

No need. You made public definitive statements, I just asked the question. I don't know you personally, I'm a only discussing what you have said. "A man is known by the words he leaves behind."

TMF 18B, are you as adamant about this as you were the initial Trayvon Martin "facts"?

The DD are supposed to come with the wrench. If it doesn't they took it out. We can get them if you can't find it.

Mike, you know that all you are doing is trying to make an AR into the superior AK caliber ... Right? Seriously though, I have thought about doing the same thing. If I reloaded, could I reload 7.62x39 and 300 AAC with the same bullets?

I've always heard you're not supposed to use 5.56 in a .223, because it can blow up your gun. However, I have never seen a case that I van recall of it every happening. It may well be a case of much ado about nothing.

I had one and it was everything they claim. Loved that thing. Only reason I sold it was I had got it in a trade and couldn't justify having that much tied up in one gun. If I had the disposable income I'd get another in a heart beat. Shots well and the bolt carrier and bolt are super smooth. Gas system is easy to get to, adjust, and clean.

Unless you use lead bullets. Then it's the exact opposite

Cheap ain't they! Very cool though.

Good job. These things are fun and easy to convert. Now go get you a 20rnd drum and a Slide Fire and REALLY have some fun!

Yep I got ahead of myself. 9mm can not be converted up but .40 and .357 are cross compatible ... Usually.

Nevermind

Just to clarify, Guns chambered in .40 can usually be barrel swapped to .357 or 9mm but a .357 can only swap to 9mm NOT up to .40 and 9mm can only be 9mm. Reason being is that the hole in the end of the slide of a .40 has clearance. A conversion barrel is a little thicker to fill the gap. A .357/9mm slide is too small to accommodate the larger diameter of .40

I love the round myself however, I figured that I can get near the same performance from a 9mm +p or +p+ (depending on load) and have the ability to shoot the cheaper 9mm target loads. Only reason I don't have a 357 SIG anymore. Just a thought.

I think he should have just fixed it by beating some of you over the head with it!
