He also thinks he landed on earth from another planet.[/quote] It is all part of his act. Mr. Hodges is a sharp and shrewd businessman who gets a big kick out of sticking it to the man. I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him a few times when he had "The Castle" running as a night club. He's an awesome dude.

[quote name="JayC" post="1096083" timestamp="1389882751"]Chuck, posts like this need to come with a warning message... I just had to change my shirt because I snorted coffee out of my nose :) I wonder how long the sticker was on there before F-Troop figured it out :)[/quote] I don't know but at least it looks like they handled it themselves this time. Had they called in the Feebs' SRT (Sticker Removal Team) then the whole booth would have gotten burned down. :lol:

Apparently, according to several articles I have seen, this actually did happen to the ATF booth. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[quote name="tnguy" post="1095958" timestamp="1389840090"]That would require putting politicians on the front-lines.[/quote] I heartily endorse this plan. When can we send the entirety of the elected and appointed Washington political class to...where is it they want to get involved next? Syria? Iran? You know what, I don't care where the plane is headed, I just want to know when it is leaving so I can be there to wish them bon voyage and no damn returns.

[quote name="TMF" post="1095876" timestamp="1389834256"]Problem is we haven't been engaging in war. We've been engaging in nation building and everyone starts shooting at us. There's no military in the world better at crushing foreign armies than the US military. We can't win hearts and minds by killing everyone. It's maddening that we keep doing this. When we go in we need to have clear cut goals that are reasonable. Crush the enemy and leave. Warmongers send us there then the bleeding hearts won't let us leave. It makes no sense.[/quote] Agreed. "Nation building" is a far more cruel, inhumane and terrible thing than war for it entails not only crushing a nation or people group's ability to wage war but also their spiritual identity. It crushes their ability to choose their own path and substitutes our choices for their own. When we attempt to build a new nation from the ashes of a defeated one, we attempt to remake it in our own image while forgetting that our national identity wasn't given to is by outsiders. It was built over generations by our own people. Sorry, I'm ranting again aren't i?

I thought I had posted mine in this thread but I guess it was another. I'll take a new pic and post it up when I get home.

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1095845" timestamp="1389831702"]War should be hell. It should be disgusting, violent and brutal. People should understand that innocent civilians and children will die. Our enemies should understand that we will use devastating weapons on them. The only mercy shown will be to those that surrender. If they are enemy combatants I don’t care if they burn them alive or what they do with the bodies. I also don’t care what country an enemy combatant was born in. Our troops shouldn’t have to die because our politicians have decided that we won’t use the weapons that can devastate our enemy. (While they sit safely at home) Make war something no one wants.[/quote] This x eleventy bajillion. Somehow we have gotten it into our heads that there is such an animal as "civilized warfare" and that is a load of crap. War is organized killing writ large. There is nothing civilized about that and there shouldn't be because the idea that we can wage a "civilized" war allows us to justify waging wars for all sorts of reasons other than self defense from an existential threat. A friend of mine says it best, "You can't fight a war with fucking lawyers."

[quote name="CQB Elite" post="1095827" timestamp="1389830343"]They are selling them to PSA but they signed an agreement to not sell commercial AR's using their .gov parts. They can sell these parts to others tho. I bought a FNH barrel for one of my builds.There is a long thread on M4C.net about these rifles. One of the last posts is from someone at SHOT show. The reps at the FNH booth told him the barrels are button rifled. It's also been reported that FNH has been sourcing parts from other manufacturers to build these rifles as per the TDP agreement with Colt.[/quote] If that is the case it sounds to me like the PSA remains the better buy.

[quote name="CQB Elite" post="1095752" timestamp="1389824403"]Not necessarily. The barrels on the sample at FNH's booth at SHOT are button rifled and NOT CHF from what I understand. They are also 4140 chrome moly. I doubt FNH is going to put their M249 steel barrel on a $899 rifle.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk[/quote] My PSA upper has a FN CHF barrel on it, so who knows.

[quote name="TMF" post="1095653" timestamp="1389817082"]Yeah, but posing with charred skulls is not standard practice. Not that I care, it just makes for a sensational photo and anti-military porn for hippies. If I was a fresh out of high school Marine that believed the things that young Marines do, I'd have been posing with charred enemy skulls as well. Lucky for me I was a little older when all this was going on, so I never posed with dead bodies or took pictures of any of the sensational things that I've seen. I'm thankful for that. But I've seen Iraqi kids play soccer with the head of suicide bomber. I've seen an Iraqi policeman cave in the skull of a dead bad guy by repeatedly stomping on his head. I've seen Iraqi police tie a dead insurgent to the back of their truck and drag him through the streets. Burning dead, stinking corpses? Yep, don't care.[/quote] Well, we've only had photography for what, 150 years? I mean before that we didn't pose for pictures with our enemies skulls, we just strapped them onto our armor to strike fear into the heart of the next one we met. :D

I don't think there is a real story here. I looked at the pics and those bodies were NOT fresh. Maybe I am wrong here but after taking a city with a large scale battle, burning the multitude of corpses as a way to dispose of remains and stop the spread of disease has been pretty standard for a few thousand years I think.   TMZ must have had a dearth of slutty starlets and coked out actors to take pictures of today.

Got an angle grinder and a vise?   Took me about 45 minutes to cut/grind down my FSB this weekend.

This is a big case of not just no, but hell no.

Robert, have you looked into the Constitution Party?

Meh.

Welcome to the small cabal of people plotting to take over the world, and then leave everyone alone.

If the feds say it is okay, the state of TN says it is okay.   We even have a TN Firearms freedom act which says that as long as you are making it and keeping it in TN the feds can butt out. Only problem, it is a law with no teeth at all so I wouldn't try to use it as cover for anything you would want to possess.

I know what you mean, it makes me nervous too. Then I feel the need to start checking myself for parasites like ticks, or politicians. :rofl:

I know how you feel, I often get that same reaction from folks I talk to. :lol:

I solve the serrated/smooth blade conundrum by carrying two blades. I have a habit of misplacing things so I carry inexpensive blades. One is a kershaw speed safe assisted open with the combo blade the other is a crkt dragon fixed blade smooth blade.

[quote name="TMF" post="1093455" timestamp="1389481133"]Yup. She just needs to take a road trip to Ft Bragg. Someone will take her home at closing time and use her as a receptacle, which is what she wants deep down. How does she think our species has propagated throughout history? Every act of sex is rape simply because we enter them? No chick has ever enjoyed it? While it isn't in dispute that women don't normally have libidos as strong as men, they still do desire sex. Even lesbos cram dildos up each other, based on my research. It is biological. She's either mad that she wasn't born a man or she is mad that no one wants to penetrate her disgusting meat wallet.[/quote] Pretty sure I've conducted a fair amount of that same research. :cool:

No.

I finally found a candidate worthy of support in 2016.
