So you figured you'd just come in and tease us all a little?

I don't have much to say on the primary subject of the thread as I think that btr96, SWJewelTN and others have articulated most of my views reasonably well. I do want to address an argument that I have seen made repeatedly in this thread and elsewhere whenever the subject of interactions between the police and the public has arisen. Variations of arguments that question the standing of those critiquing cop behavior to even do so because they don't have an LE background are just plain bad argumentation. It is one thing to use your background in LE to explain why you do things a certain way. That's a valid argument, but to say that someone shouldn't question a tactic or action because they don't understand what it is like to be a cop is in no way shape or form a valid argument. It is the equivalent of feminists saying that men can't have an opinion of abortion because they lack a vagina or when SJWs say that folks can't question certain behaviors because they aren't of a particular race. It is simply a tactic to silence the other party without substantively addressing the topic actually being discussed. When you say "you need to be a ______ or you wouldn't understand what _____ go through" what you are really saying is that you can't make a strong argument to support your position would rather try to weasel out of the debate by delegitimization of your opponent.

True. Which I would do if I had a desire for an AR pistol. That is actually the second configuration for this lower. Initially it had all MOE furniture and a Trijicon Reflex optic.

Unlike KFC, it's truly finger lickin' good.

No. Just an early pic in the build process. I have a complete pic somewhere, just wasn't handy at the moment. Edited to add:

Another vote of confidence for the MI SS rail. I have a 15 inch on mine and I love it .

And what does the interest work out to on a debt whose principle you will never pay off?

The death penalty is nothing more than state-sponsored murder and even when I really want to, I cannot morally be OK with condoning that.

Their economic collapse was already well under way before Reagan got into office. Reagan didn't have great policy so much as great timing. It was eaten away by the cancer from with that will always destroy centrally planned economies. It didn't matter who was in office here, the die had been cast and the course could not be turned away from the inevitable. Stay tuned here because R or D, we will see a replay of the end of the USSR. With every passing year central planners and bureaucrats take more and more control of the economy regardless of the party currently in control. Doesn't matter who is elected, the cancer has taken hold and is going to eventually kill its host.

Games of brinkmanship only work when you are playing with rational actors. As far as Gorby and the USSR in the 80's, that had way more to do with their collapsing economy than anything ol' Ronnie Raygun did.

I thought I was on #teamwatchtheworldburn, But bravo! You really want to set nuclear fire to the whole thing.

Ya'll are correct. The clip was from Top Secret.

Give it a six pack. That usually works to change minds. Just sayin'.

You with the facts. Always with the facts. Y u no go wit narrative?

I'm seeing a whole lotta this right now.

Yawn. For as militant as they like to posture themselves to be, the NoI has never done ####, isn't going to do #### now and won't ever do ####. I refuse to allow myself to be baited into exactly what these assholes want to portray me as by their ignorant rhetoric. I decline to play their game and demonize whole swaths of the population or make offhandedly racist comments. The NoI are a bunch of idiots who are on the same moral and intellectual level as the Klan. #### 'em. Ain't nobody got time for that.

At this point I am hoping for a Trump v Sanders matchup. #teamwatchtheworldburn
