Holy shit. They are going to turn the rest of the country into Memphis. This is pretty much exactly what was done in Memphis. They demolished the public housing and used section 8 and other HUD vouchers and programs to relocate the residents into established neighborhoods. The idea behind it is that if you take take a family out of a concentrated area of poverty, you will give the kids positive role models not dependent on .gov assistance and it will also help diffuse the concentrated power of criminal gangs. The reality is that they bring their gang affiliations with them and spread the reach and influence of those criminal gangs. This is very, very bad.

Oh, why do they have to be so far away. :(

Once again, anarchy does not equal chaos. Just because you've seen chaos and anarchy together and then just called it anarchy, doesn't mean you used word correctly. The colloquial usage of the word implies chaos, but that isn't what the word actually means. Anarchy is simply the lack of government. As you have likely surmised already, I am philosophically an anarchist. However, I do have a strong pragmatic streak (believe it or not) and in practice lean more towards the minarchist to libertarian end of things.

If anarchy leads to unbridled violence, then what would you call 2 decade long wars, SWAT teams kicking down doors tens of thousands of times a year and inner cities full of feral youth subsidized by the dole and a black market created by drug prohibition? Government IS violence.

Then you are using the term incorrectly. I don't know what to call those you describe, but they are not anarchists anymore than Bradley Manning is a soldier. Anarchy does not equal chaos anymore than combat equals murder. Agents of chaos may sometimes fly the banner of anarchy when convenient, but they will also fly the flag of Democrat or Republican or whatever will help them sow e discord they seek.

You have mentioned anarchists a couple of times;, in what context are you using that term? The reason why I ask is that after the initial outset of the occupy movement I haven't seen much, if any, anarchist involvement because the Occupy folks are decidedly anti capitalist and seek more government intervention, not less. The vast majority of the anarchists I know are of the AnCap variety and though they may see the government/business collusion of corporatism as a major problem, they don't view more government regulation as the appropriate solution.

I didn't even hear about anything going down in Oakland if that tells you anything.

OAL is measured with a fully extended stock. That was decided by a court case involving some M-1s in paratrooper stocks back in the 70s. This only applies to the federal government, some states (CA, MI for example) dictate that OAL is measured in the fully collapsed/ folded position.

This.

The tops for an IWB would be a hybrid style holster. Whether you choose the Crossbreed, Galco King Tuk, Tucker's The Answer, Desantis Intruder, Kholster or the myriad of other versions, the leather/kydex hybrid is the most comfortable IWB holster style I have used.

I'm in the market for a bicycle myself right now. I have narrowed my choices to a couple of different street style bikes. I will almost exclusively ride it on pavement so I decided against front or rear shocks. This is the leading candidate at the moment, thought I am also considering the the next one up from this one which has some better components like disc brakes. http://www.gtbicycles.com/2013/bikes/urban/city/traffic-4-0

The Patriot Act and the GWOT along with the resultant accelerated rise of the police state seems like a pretty damn big kick in the balls to me. A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. - Lysander Spooner

I don't know about that. The stampedes that happen a couple times a year on Beale Street would suggest otherwise. Crank off a couple of rounds and folks will trample each other to death trying to get away.

I freely admit I am not. I just want to be left alone to live my life and go about my business unmolested by other folks and the government. I do my best to extend that same courtesy to everyone else. Other than that, I really don't like people and have no care or concern whether other folks live or die. At the point that you become a hindrance to my ability to go about my business, I stop caring whether you live and start wishing that you die.

Poaching was the excuse if I remember correctly.

McCain was still a shitty pilot, just sayin'. Oh and lighten up Francis.

If you have a HCP you may carry a loaded long gun in the vehicle provided the chamber is empty. If you do not have a HCP, it is illegal to possess a loaded gun of any type in your vehicle.

That Ruger will require boot on your end at a gun store for ANY Glock. In fact, it will require boot on your end for any gun worth owning. The guns shop must make a profit on any deal.

Pretty sure I've seen that video.

If you know me, you already know what I am about to say but I am gonna say it anyways. John McCain? Fuck that guy.

If it were really that simple, I'd be voting (R) but it isn't, and I think it is stupid to pretend that it is. I don't think you really believe it is that simple either. Whatever disagreements we have, I don't think you are stupid. Democrats and republicans may differ on how one should spend their money, but they both want to tell folks how to live their lives.

I'll step in here as the one who will split the difference between RN and ETP. Like ETP, I don't believe it is right to use the government to tell somebody else what to do but like RN, I don't believe that the electoral system is going to fix anything. The reason (imo) why is that "right" or "left" most people in this country think that using government force to force their will upon others is a perfectly acceptable manner in which to conduct business. That's why large "L" Libertarians and other liberty minded groups have never amounted to much in elections. Real liberty and freedom is far too radical for a people accustomed to authoritarian rule such as we have here in the US.

I think they are having server issues. It half loaded for me a little while ago but isn't loading at all right now.

Only if you OC.
