[quote name="DaveTN" post="1132109" timestamp="1396208287"]I see a problem. I just don’t see a big problem or one that I should care about. [b]If you want to stand by Clintons dumb azz statements that 80% of the guns used in crimes in Mexico come from the U.S.; go for it. Common sense tells me otherwise.[/b] However, you are always carrying on about how cops here are going to go on some kind of a rampage door to door and how we need guns for when that happens. That is happening now in Mexico by a corrupt government and Police force, not to mention the cartels. Don’t you think the people in Mexico need guns to protect themselves? We should be dropping shipments of guns to the population of Mexico. OMG some guns got out of the country; lets get our panties in a bunch and have a witch hunt. No thanks. But what does any of this have to do with 3D printing?[/quote] Clinton's statement was total BS. That was the point of F&F, to put numbers behind that lie and build support for more gun control on the bodies of folks killed with guns provided by the ATF. Guns bought with your tax dollars.

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1132082" timestamp="1396202375"] I’m supposed to care if guns go into Mexico? I couldn’t care less. The Mexican government stands and watches as something more deadly crosses our borders every day, sometimes they even help. Screw them, and their President thinking he has anything to say about our gun laws. I’m no fan of holder but I doubt he knew squat; and don’t care if he did. [b]It was a local operation trying to track guns going across the border. They lost track of them;[/b] I’m sure it happens with dope all the time. The only mistake they made was caring if guns went across the border. I don’t. It also gave the anti-gun crowd something to make a bunch of noise about. What really surprises me is how many people that claim to be pro-gun have joined the gun haters in wanting something done about it. I think if you think about it for a while you won’t need anyone to explain the difference in someone tracking guns headed across the border and a Senator being involved in illegal gun trafficking in return for campaign contributions.[/quote] That you actually believe F&F was a legitimate op gone wrong explains why you don't understand the importance of what happened. They didn't "lose track" of the weapons, there was never a process in place to track them in the first place, that wasn't what F&F was designed to do. Operation Wide Receiver was a similar operation that lost track of the guns. The difference being that it was done in cooperation with the Mexican government. In Wide Receiver tracking devices were installed in the guns and when it was discovered that those trackers had been found and removed the operation was halted. With F&F the DOJ intentionally broke the law in an effort to undermine it and build support to change it. If you can't see the problem there, there is no use explaining anything to you.

Yep. Proudly so.  :rofl:

He should have given his money to the MILFs in the strip club instead of the MILFs in the Philippines.

[quote name="LagerHead" post="1130745" timestamp="1395952567"]Many of them might be alive today if they were wearing their seat belts and the state would be lower. I know for a fact that a seat belt has saved my life, less than two seconds after I put it on. That was when I was twelve. I have not been without one in a passenger vehicle since. [/quote] I actually do always wear my seatbelt and require anyone riding in my vehicle wear one as well. I was just pointing out the signs don't actually say what I think they are trying to make them say.

[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1130716" timestamp="1395946811"]I haven't been keeping tabs on this new law, so would someone mind telling me what has changed? Can we now legally carry any size/type of knife we so choose?[/quote] As long as the governor doesn't veto, the answer will be yes as of July 1.

He thought he was interviewing for Eric Holder's job.

We have the same signs here in Memphis. Whenever I see the seatbelt one I think to myself that if 50% of fatalities were not wearing their seatbelt, that means the other 50% were. That encourages me to do what exactly?

I don't like unions, but I like the state sanctioned monopoly that is the NCAA and its license to exploit college athletes even less. I applaud this decision and hope that it is the beginning of the end of college athletics as we know it. College athletes should be able to bargain for a larger share of the billions of dollars they earn for the colleges on an annual basis. We all know that many athletes are fairly compensated by boosters in violation of the NCAA rules, lets just go ahead and bring that all above the board and out into the open as well while we are at it. Anyone who thinks that college athletics are somehow purer because the athletes aren't getting paid like the pros is just fooling him/herself. Pay the athletes and end the stranglehold of the NCAA.

It looks like this.   The rest can be found here.     http://weaponsman.com/?p=14082      

:rofl: I've been off topic for quite a while in this thread. What we are talking about doesn't have much if anything to do with this jet going missing, as far as we know. Now if that jet ends up reappearing and flying into something else that might change. Still, good conversation to have.

A lot of that is determined by what one's position is on what a proper foreign policy would look like. It shouldn't be a big surprise that I take the non-interventionist view. I agree that idle threats are a bad course of action as they do invite future aggression. The question I would pose is should we have been making threats (idle or otherwise) on events that are not happening within our borders in the first place? I say no. What went on in Syria is no business of ours, so we shouldn't have been drawing "red lines" for Assad to cross when he used chemical weapons against the opposition forces that we armed with weapons funneled from Libya. The land grab Putin is going for in Ukraine also isn't our business. Well other than the fact that we helped depose a legitimately elected government that was friendly to Russia in an attempt to install one we liked better. I think the common factors should be evident and it isn't a lack of foreign policy, but a bad one.

If you are referring to the events with Russia and Ukraine, what makes you think that is due to a lack of our foreign policy? The US government fomented and funded the revolution that ousted Yanukovych. Putin almost definitely had designs on Crimea and Ukraine, we just served them up to him on a golden serving platter.

Recognizing and acknowledging that US foreign policy does not exist in a vacuum is not a case of blaming the victim. Too often we picture the US as some God-ordained, global cop on a mission to set the world to right when it is really just looking after its own selfish interests in a short sighted and destructive manner.

[quote name="enfield" post="1129447" timestamp="1395708763"]Where did I put that katana?[/quote] I know a couple of anime nerds/Japanophiles that will strap one on come July. Not even kidding.

HOAs are full of busybodies and petty tyrants. If folks want to live under that then they shouldn't be surprised when they get what they asked for.

I've got one of the Scott models gathering dust in my shed.

So are you saying I shouldn't get a kukri?  :rofl:

Those quotes are from Megan Phelps-Roper, his grand-daughter who left the church in 2012. At the time she gave many interviews disavowing the church's message and expressing remorse for the damage done and the people hurt.

They left out the part where he was a pro-union Democrat who contributed to Al Gore's campaigns.

I watched the events unfold with a sense of detached interest. I initially supported our actions in Afghanistan, but over time grew to realize that there was a definite element of blowback involved in 9-11. Our decades of interventions in the internal affairs of other nations birthed and nurtured that hatred of us in the M/E and elsewhere. The blood for the events of that day stains the hands of the US government as much as they do any terrorist.

[quote name="tnguy" post="1127414" timestamp="1395327006"]Anyone else remember when the media used to ridicule conspiracy theorists?[/quote] Yeah, I do. Then we started getting proven right. It's a bit harder to dismiss us these days.

No reply necessary. I never expect anyone to agree with or even condone some of my more extreme positions. This is the part of the conversation where most folks tiptoe backwards out of the room. :stunned: :leaving:   Nope. You might want to go unlike that comment before folks think you possess a similar level of depraved indifference to the existence of other people that I do. :hat:
