  1. Hell ya you should. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.
  2. My take Last year was like investing in 2009, you didnt have to know anything to win big with the preceding beatdown. There are some good value items that are good bets over the next 2 years in the sectors that the virus is keeping pressure on. Finding them takes a heck of alot more research. Sector consolidations and M&A make is something to look out for in those sectors though. Finding them before they get mentions from the investing media is key. I have one on my watchlist I was researching this last week and it just got a pop from a brokerage article a couple days ago...waiting for the next dip if it comes.
  3. Lol. Hypocrisy you say. Nooooo. Nothing new for the seat of power. Toe their line, you must. Come on, lets admit it. 1A was really problematic anyway. Now no one ever has to worry about being butthurt by words or thoughts ever again. To be good is Gamma, because Gamma is good! Google + Apple + Amazon, how much of the web backbone infrastructure do y'all think they control? Deregulation had its consequences. It would appear capitalism and freedom of speech were not terribly compatible long term. Man, I hope they aren't working on brain scanners. Then we'd really be porked.
  4. That’d be great! Appreciate any incites. I’ve got myself overwhelmed when I consider it to the point I dropped it. That kind of info should be a nice frame of reference.
  5. No doubt. Too many examples to list. And yet everyone seems complacent with it because of their addiction to the shinier parts they like. I imagine as long as folks just go along with it why expect much else. All good, other peoples kids are a kind of a pain in the butt anyway
  6. As a first time buyer, I think your experience / thoughts might be off great benefit for those who don’t currently have any. Background about the selection process, tips, and lessons learned. Its not a topic that’s well covered without a metric ton on googling. I’ll have to check arfcom, maybe they have a forum, but its potentially a good subforum.
  7. But they can sure deliver all those Democratic ballets like nobody’s business, can’t they? Joking aside, they are one of the poster children for the downsides of the crazy times we live in. i tried to talk a GB buyer out of selecting them to deliver a rifle about a month ago in favor of Fedex. But he wanted usps. It was lost for 2 weeks until it’s status changed to ‘out for delivery’. We were both relieved. 2.5 weeks for 2 day priority. My wife’s Kohls order from Black Friday shipped on 11/29, showed up yesterday. I’ve had an amazon order lost having never lost anything using usps in over 40 years prior to 2020 craziness. I’ve been avoiding them for the last 3 months, there issues are too well documented to have confidence until they get things back on track. the big change I’ve seen, and local po manager told me when I called on the rifle, is they have stopped scanning most intermediate events as policy to speed things up. And of course, let it be for at least a month as you heard. Hope your package shows

    Best wishes for a quick recovery.
  9. Garanimals, bell bottoms, and corduroy...thems was the days. Thanks for that swamp
  10. I really have this trend is a very very low number. But essentially, the article indicates that the desire to get followers on social media has some teens doing some potentially dangerous things. Putting information in new clothing at stores in hopes the buyer stalks checks them out on social media https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/teens-putting-social-media-pants-070051165.html So this brings up 3 questions to me: 1. Is the reporting media doing something even worse by putting this out there for pedo's to see? Seems a bit irresponsible if not potentially criminal, though it can make parents aware (assuming they could effect it anyway) 2. Is this a bait item used by the 5-0 to draw out the pedo's above?? THIS... I really hope this. If not, they should! 3*. Most importantly - it helps cement the case for having MSM be considered a major health crisis / epidemic based on other really bad behaviors it promotes (licking toilets, licking ice cream in grocery stores, live casting suicide attempts, etc) * If its deemed this is a banned political item, please edit it out. Not my intent to cause a ruckus as I have no idea what happened to cause the recent changes.
  11. FN updating to meet market demands.. Good for them. Addresses some 509 Trigger customer feedback, specs as 4.5 lbs and partnership with Apex via a very similar profile trigger shoe. https://fnamerica.com/edgeseries/?j=630549&sfmc_sub=152379429&l=121_HTML&u=18218554&mid=7296526&jb=314 The question some current 509 owners will likely immediately have on this: "New, conical striker reduces 509 trigger pull weight by 1.5-lbs" Hey, will that work in mine?? Maybe also addresses concerns about breakage from dry firing without snap caps?
  12. With this last year, it's enough to make anyone a bit of a cynic. I think that term is actually too extreme. Given events, realist may be more appropriate IMO. Telling GA voters I'll hook you up with 2K if you get me more favorable odds in the Senate for the left Agenda. How is that not illegal? The one thing that the media seems to be focused on as more immediate is 10K for specific individuals based on their own life choices. Perhaps that is more of buying people off for what's to come after the favor they are already buying via stimulus payments? It probably does help fuel the thought that gun control isnt a bid deal since its all on the DL today. I see the rational logic of the folks in this thread who have pointed out other real priorities. That is plain sensible. Too sensible? When immediate priorities include hooking up a minority of the population which may not be the most at risk with 10k in debt reduction (may not effect their outgoing due to balances)....maybe you're getting away for what is most needed in the near term? Expecting rational or sensible paths seems a bit hopeful right now. But its probably good to have some optimists running around. That said, that item was a campaign based pandering item, so it supports they are moving on them. As was Gun related nonsense, so its just as sensible to expect it.
  13. Here is another thought given this is for introducing the sport to your baby. Since you’re a sig and Beretta fan, you may have a model that they offer a 22 conversion for. I’ve got 22 uppers for my 92, 229, and 1911. Even one for a Glock. They all work well. Given the current gun pricing and limited availability, its likely a better way to go with a known quantity for less, not to mention you can have it delivered to your door without transfer fees. The downside may be your girl may get ac real liking for your 229 so you’ll have to share. Good problem to have though
  14. Thanks for the vigilance. I’m not getting a redirect on trying it again. They have a lot of ad based redirects on that page that rotate, possibly one that was a bit more malicious was set for active page event when I went out there. Didn’t win anything, I feel robbed.
  15. I’d guess it may have something to do with browsers and Java settings. You’re almost tempting me to hit it again to screen shot it if it happens.... but once was good
  16. Actually there is a lot of factual error, but its inter-dispersed with other opinions rooted in some factual basis for him give to give it the appearance of not being complete left rhetoric . Its the lefts argument against the extreme rights take. He IS hardcore left guy, using partial facts as smoke and mirrors to get guys to say, hey he’s sounds like he has a lot of info and facts do thru dont question the BS opinion. I saw a number of non facts or lies to support his Position, that non gun people wouldn’t know better. I assumed Gun folks would, but maybe not. Off the top of my head, I’ll pick two. 1. Gun nuts buy 6920 Colts since you can drop in an auto sear. Complete BS. The pocket is not machine for a mil spec auto sear, and the web prevents a DIAS. 2. the CA AK based mass shooter would have been stopped because you can’t buy an AK47 variant in CA. Complete BS. You can get them all day long provided you make it featureless. Its really unfortunate that this can’t be seen thru more easily, worse that he has a platform. But sadly, he is high functioning and most of the voting public isn’t. Easy pickin’s
  17. I don’t think ya did, is just ac discussion and everyone should be able to put their opinions out there. While they can anyway
  18. Quick note on that site. It immediately forwarded to fake virus site saying your device is compromised. Not sure if it’s a mobile only and you are you using s computer. First time I’ve run across something like that on a mobile.
  19. I liken it to teaching someone to drive but with more consequences. Tons of parallels with new drivers, rules, safety, and car selection. When you get someone who questions, its an analogy they can relate to. I avoid politics for the most part, outside emphasizing I expect them to examine current laws and how it effects their plans or intended use, keeping mindful that they are subject to change. I don't think you can effect most basic views as they are set as they get older, so that is pointless and a frustration to both parties. However I do ask, why they want to own a gun and their motivation if they are older. You have to access how open they are and willing listen to the voice of reason and experience. This is especially critical with family. Like spouses, familiarity leads to a tendency to discount advice or assign more credence to that of acquaintances. Those who are married I am sure can relate. Its a fair question. I don't judge the why, as much as it helps decide what their influences were, and how best to approach method and instruction.
  20. These left shills posing as pseudo experts with some kind of credentials to give an air of authority are something. Scanned it for giggles and it did not disappoint. Nice artful interlacing of fact, partial facts, and some inaccuracies factual liberties. Putting "most" gun owners want more controls right up seems a bit transparent, and made me question the actual audience. Tactical flaw maybe. Inferring gun nuts buy a 6920 expressly because an autosear just drops right in.....hilarious.
  21. The irreverent purchases are the best! Have fun with the new toy. Deadpool approved. You may consider getting another one.
  22. I think many of us share that, as I've said here a few times our best bet is Joe to stay put. Harris was the CA AG during its most recent darkest hours and she was actively involved in the legislation. Her views are actual public knowledge. She has plainly and clearly stated them when she was running before she dropped out. Not only is she fully on board with Beto's well known 2A hatred, she is against ALL private gun ownership. Should you be curious, its searchable. I don't think her campaign site is active anymore, but her anti 2A position is documented in various write-ups from that time. Joe seems is a political opportunist kind of anti- 2A guy, while Kamala is a foaming at the mouth 2A hater. My take on this is that Joe can insulate himself by using her as the instrument for much of it. The country is in a very different place compared to 2008. The events of 2020 should really illustrate how these seemingly insane things have gotten traction and developed momentum that has never been seen in the recent past. Don't get me wrong, I dont want or hope any of it does. But in todays very strange environment, thinking it cant happen as its not happened before does not offer a great comfort level.
  23. Ammo and firearms licensing, capture of gun purchases, mandatory waiting periods and quantity / time limits. All things that CA had, or exist in some form other blue states. Having lived thru it, y'all should have concerns. Biden's published plan, which includes assault weapons ban and its next steps are more problematic. Using the practice of bills 'common sense' that first starts with limiting 'how' or 'how much' before moving on to bans and generational elimination controlling the 'what' you buy. Death of a thousand cuts. I have watched the CA legal challenges play out in the 2 years after I left. With the 'freedom week' they got with normal cap mags to the latest assault weapon ban challenges. Y'all should really watch these as well. IIRC, SCOTUS kicked one case back years ago. I suspect they will have to deal with them at some point, but it will be years. The proposed assault weapons ban and it's two options that follow (forced govt purchase or NFA/registration) are effectively a method to eliminate them in a single generation by potentially preventing them to be passed down depending on the 'NFA' provision. CA version make them all non transferable. If they do that, I trust more will sell them to the govt depending on their age. CA this summer has had more legislation to expand the definition of what constitutes 'assault weapon'. Makes sense as the next step to try to move almost everything into over time. On the upside. The cosmetic features have been able to have workarounds allowing limited use. Look up 'featureless' build. They kind of suck, but allow you to to keep them until they revise language. The latest expansion of the definition though is meant to do some of that in.
  24. I don't know what constitutes fact in a future tense, as its just agenda today. Seems the horses mouth is pretty open about plans / agenda. Harris' debate stated plans where more extreme, which is why you best hope Joe stays where he is. Keeping in mind of course that he has to be inaugurated before the poop starts it downhill journey to whatever recess of FB one might be keeping themselves. https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/ Or course, one can hope all that is just political rhetoric to get the nomination without any plan to act on it, but hope is likely all that is in the current environment. I trust FB, if that is one's barometer of reality, will get much more interesting in the 3 months following 1/20 We should start a pool. It would at least make it more interesting. Any idea what we could buy squares for?
