3D printing...Well, that escalated quickly.
Chucktshoes replied to Chucktshoes's topic in General Chat
Mike , a mill removes material, this is an additive process. (Or are you just being facetious?) -
Gonna have to call BS on that. The 2A grants nothing, it only acknowledges a natural right of self defense, and specifically the tools to effectively mount that defense. The government, any government, can make whatever laws they choose. It has no bearing on my rights. The 2A, like the rest of the first 8 amendments, enumerates negative rights that are intended to prevent infringement by the government. However anything one claims as a right is only a right as long as they are willing to defend it. So if those rights aren't defended it doesn't mean that they were a privilege taken by the government who granted them, but rights willingly surrendered by a people unwilling to defend what was always theirs.

A company has 3D printed a 1911 in metal. That ought to pucker up a few asses in the gun control lobby. http://www.solidconcepts.com/news-releases/worlds-first-3d-printed-metal-gun-manufactured-solid-concepts/

These psychopaths give bad cops a bad name.

Third parties as spoilers & the VA governor's race
Chucktshoes replied to Chucktshoes's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Fair point. All I would add is that the efforts put into denying ballot access to minor parties by the majors is just as dirty and wrong. Lawsuits should not have to be filed for candidates to have their name placed on the ballot or to have their party affiliation properly listed on the ballot. Ballot access is still a large problem for the LP, Greens and other minor parties. Ever since Ross Perot, both the Republicans and Democrats have expended a lot of time and effort to deny ballot access. -
Good holster selection in Memphis?
Chucktshoes replied to Adam5's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Either Classic or Arms Fair will have what you are needing. -
I think you are correct that this isn't a training issue. You can't train violent psychopaths not to commit heinous acts against people. You can only put them down like the rabid dogs they are.

There comes a time where violence isn't only justified, it is the correct and moral action. This qualifies.

It could also mean he is a left libertarian, we don't know either way but that won't stop republicans from erroneously believing the libertarian vote belongs to them if only we would just quit wasting our time and votes. :D -
Everything you've heard about crack and meth is wrong
Chucktshoes replied to Chucktshoes's topic in General Chat
Yeah, it does hold some folks back from taking a deeper look at libertarian ideas. They just can't let go of the idea that they have the right to tell other folks how to live their lives as long as they took a vote on it. ;) -

Yep. Perot didn't cause Bush to lose the election, Bush's term as president cost him the election. -

6.8, while there may be some evidence he was placed to spoil, there is equal evidence he wasn't as that specific bundler has a history of supporting libertarian candidates as well in the past. I think it may have been mentioned on here previously, but there are left libertarians who prioritize social issues above fiscal ones. In fact they were there first with regards to the Libertarian Party. The main point I would find difference with your response to Erik is that it is still operating from a left/right Republican/Democrat paradigm and it assumes votes not cast for a third party would have automatically belonged to one of the major parties. That is still an incorrect frame of reference. -

Hydrocodone runs about 10-15¢ a pill. -

All of them. Eliminate the FDA while we are at it. -

I just ran across this story from ABC that contains some exit polling data that should put the "Sarvis caused Cuccinelli to lose" argument to rest. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/11/early-exit-poll-results-tell-a-tale-of-two-republicans/ -

http://reason.com/blog/2013/11/06/read-this-if-you-believe-your-candidate Another good article hitting at the core red vs blue mindset that without a third party, the vote would have belonged to a Republican or a Democrat. I especially like this part. -
The new Magical James Yeager round prototype!

It certainly was! :lol: Next thing we know Yeager will go all Gabe Suarez again and Dolomite will get challenged to a duel. :lol: :rofl: -

I no longer have any faith whatsoever that the ending we both see can be avoided or that even if it could the Republicans are the way to do it. So here I am and my principled vote is the only thing I got left. Well...almost the only thing I got left. :whistle: -

Here is a very good article that breaks down some of the takeaways that should be learned from the VA race. http://thefederalist.com/2013/11/05/10-lessons-republicans-virginia/ -
Third parties as spoilers & the VA governor's race
Chucktshoes replied to Chucktshoes's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I have a sister. She is as liberal as it gets and I would classify her as a full fledged member of the grievance industry with all her whining about "the patriarchy". Not long after the birth of my daughter I realized that she could possibly be a dangerous negative influence on my daughter. I made the decision to excise her from my family's life. We are better off for it. If a person does not bring anything positive to the table, if they only bring harm, why should they get a pass just because you had the misfortune to lose the genetic lottery and be related to them? -
