Marines take themselves way too seriously and get butt hurt because the general public doesn't know their secret handshake bull crap that they were taught. Generally the public doesn't mean any disrespect but the Marines can't handle it and so have to correct you.

New York Attorney General files suit to dissolve the NRA
Capbyrd replied to MacGyver's topic in General Chat
As absolutely terrible as the NRA is, until we have a stronger GOA or other substitute, we need them. NRA President Carolyn Meadows released a statement. She isn't completely wrong. -
Well it does happen to black people. It happened recently and a kid ended up dead because of it. He was black and walking down the street. His blackness was so terrifying that a woman called the cops on him. Look up Elijah McClain. That's not an isolated incident. Laws and policies have been put into place in this country that target certain groups of people. If you want to draw a line and say that they target those below the poverty line, fine. But look at the demographics of who is below the poverty line. Black people may be 13 percent of the overall population but they make up 21% (the greatest percentage) of Americans living below the poverty line. Mandatory sentencing laws and plea bargains are examples of these.

What are you sorry for? NOW we are supposed to listen and care about the opinions of celebrities because it aligns with your point of view? Come on now. Either we listen to celebrities all the time, or none of the time. You can't have both.

MemphisMason posted that he is already well into the wait on his form 4. How does telling him to do a form 1 because it's quicker help anything. He didn't come here to say "I feel ya, man" or "that's the worst part but its so worth it." No, he came here to brag about his way being better. And if you get around enough NFA discussions you see it from that group all the time. Ever since solvent trap became a term, the Solvent Trap Mafia runs around telling everyone how their can is the best and quietest and fastest can on the market. There was no place for that in this discussion.

There have also been some scientific breakthroughs because of what we have learned in space. Everything that we do up there relates in significant ways to life down here.

Did anyone ever call the cops on you for simply existing? Did anyone ever pass laws that targeted your subculture with harsher penalties than another? White privilege exists but privilege might be a misnomer. I'd hesitate to call it systemic racism but our country definitely still suffers from systemic bias. And that bias makes it sometimes harder for certain groups of people to rise to the same levels as other groups of people.

There is a lot to learn in space and the current Mars missions are going to dictate what we do in space in the future. Imagine being able to launch our deep space probes from Mars instead of from Earth. We have less atmosphere to overcome which means the fuel necessary for launch is less. We could use Mars as a relay station for extended communications. The possibilities are endless. And we aren't done with the Moon. Moon base is still on the horizon as well.

The documentary instead paints as him a nut job. And since Marvin isn't with us to dispute anything that they say, they get away with it.
-
What question is that?
-
Nope. And the death toll isn't high enough given the amount of damage. Terror attack just doesn't add up. Government negligence and ineptitude makes all of the sense in the world.

Why do all of you Form 1 junkies feel it necessary to crap on other people? You don't know his situation or setup. Maybe he doesn't have a trust and doesn't trust some fly by night internet lawyers to give solid legal counsel. Maybe he got a better deal on the YHM Mite than he could have possibly gotten on a Form 1 can. Just be happy for the man and move on. Go preach to someone else.

Chuck, please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to go over the processes in detail. I live in Raleigh so I'm just over that pesky city line and I have completed a few in state transfers and have one pending right now.

I haven't seen any credible news source with information that it was a terrorist attack. It wasn't a fireworks factory but the warehouse that burned could have easily had fireworks in it. A fire started in warehouse 9 of the port area. It spread to warehouse 12 where the ammonium nitrate from an abandoned ship had been stored since 2014. I posted a pretty detailed account of that debacle a few posts back.
-
Bingo. A fire in warehouse 9 spread. Here is some information about how the ammonium nitrate got there. And a note about the local food situation. They are already having a hard time economically. This is going to kill many more for secondary and tertiary reasons. Australia has already pledged a large financial donation. Greece is working on sending money, supplies and people and the EU nations are working on sending relief workers and possible aid.

Chad Nichols has been down there forever. And Chad hosted a lot of events down there. Well a few years back Les George and Brian Fellhoelter were both looking to move and both of them moved to Mississippi. Brian went a little further south though. Memphis has a ton of great custom makers within a few hours drive.
-
Most of what Les makes is. Seriously, if yall are into knives, keep an eye on Les' store and be ready to buy. You won't be sorry. Also, he isn't far from us down in Blue Springs Mississippi.
-
If yall ever want something a little fancier, made somewhat locally and by a former Marine, you can't beat Les George's V14. https://georgeknives.bigcartel.com/product/commando-dagger

A2 Front Post Taper Pin Removal Issues (HELP)
Capbyrd replied to Hammer285's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
If you end up replacing the barrel, let me know what you want for it. Regardless, here is a video on taper pins. The key is to use a punch larger than the pin head. You put the punch over about half of the pin head and give it a good solid whack. That frees it and then you can move to an appropriately sized punch to remove them the rest of the way. -
".280" not a 280...243, 220 Swift? Ideas?
Capbyrd replied to 19_A_CPT's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I know you already figured it out. But do it yourself. It's very simple, nearly impossible to mess up and fun! -
Your eyes are better than mine. I still can't make out the humpback even though you told me it's there.

Last year Walmart clearances out a Nightowl 4 camera system for 75 bucks. I bought one. I have been happy with it. Although remote access is slow. Slow to the point of being unusable for anything other than live feeds. If I need to go back through something, the interface in the DVR is the way to go. The cameras are hardwired which I prefer and unlike Dave was mentioning, the power is all done at the DVR so you don't need power at each camera. Personally, I don't want a cloud based service. I don't like cloud storage for anything, especially camera views of my house. I don't use home assistants because I already have a phone listening all of the time and that's more than I want. I also don't want monthly fees and don't trust the cloud services to not change their policy down the road to include monthly fees.

Mother loses leg after getting shot in the leg
Capbyrd replied to ironsniper1's topic in General Chat
"Mother loses leg after getting shot in the leg" Well that makes a lot more sense than "mother loses leg after getting shot in arm." -
You can put a hand stop on a pistol. You can put an AFG on a pistol. You cannot put a VFG on a pistol.
