Cremation takes up a lot less space and costs a lot less. Just sayin.

There's no such thing as enough winter to kill them off. Ever been to Canada or Alaska? Winter just makes them bigger and stronger.

Other relatives did the digging on ancestry.com to establish the lineage. I just wondered if there was somewhere else to look.

Cool. On a related topic... how did you learn where he fought? I have some lineage back to well before the revolution but no information regarding anyone's service prior to WWII. Is there some database where such things can be looked up?

Wow. Well said.

Nice!

News said YouTube shut down her channel and thereby cut off her income. That pissed her off so she drove over there and shot up the place And yes, they're waving the flag of "see, we told you there's a gun problem".

Oh the irony... Seems the Parkland students are protesting the invasion of their "right to privacy" because the school has implemented a clear bag policy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/04/03/parkland-student-clear-backpack-tampons-privacy/481287002/ Yes, the same kids who want to strip 2nd Amendment rights from hundreds of millions of people who've done nothing wrong, are angry about infringement of their "right to privacy" that really isn't even an explicit "right". I'll hazard a guess that highlighting their hypocrisy might fall on deaf ears.

Yep, looks like sniper training to me. Probably a target towed behind an airplane or held aloft by a balloon.

Yep. I suspect I'm going to have to cover my garden area with plastic so it'll dry out enough to till.

Welcome!

These kids are listening to anyone who steps up to the microphone that doesn't lead with millennial stereotype insults (Laura Ingraham) or talking down to them. If we don't start talking, we'll lose by forfeit.

Happy Easter y'all.

If you know of a church doing mission work in Central America or places like Haiti, offer them the hats. I have it on good authority that kids in these places love ball caps.

I assumed something similar to that but was curious if there was a difference between long guns and handguns.

Indeed.

This makes me feel better. Two minutes ago I would have told anyone that I have a lot of hats. Thanks to you guys, it's clear I really don't.

I've not been able to find how they're defining "high capacity". This is the bill they refer to, but I don't see it in there. https://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/status/2018/S.55

Welcome!

Howdy.

I have one of the PA red dots that looks just like the Strikefire, it works fine (lower 1/3 cowitness). I also have a Bushnell TRS-25 that work fine with absolute cowitness. As mentioned, definitely not an Aimpoint, but just fine for messing around.

We have to continue to engage in the debate, regardless of the lack of logic. If we don't, we'll lose by forfeit. They won't accept the logic the first time or the second time. Keep going. Maybe the light will come on the 22nd time. Its said to take 10,000 repetitions to for a skill to no longer require conscious thought. We can't get angry or frustrated, and we can't relent. As my old wrestling coach used to say... constant pressure, never let up, never give them a moment to breathe and recover. Use their own tactics against them.

We should put it on the table and leave it there until it's addressed with rational discussion. You want to take away my guns. I want to protect your children and mine from people who won't obey any law regardless of how warm and fuzzy that law makes you feel.

We have to harden the target. Teachers who carry of their own volition is the last line of defense. They need cops on the property. They need cameras. They need to move the perimeter back and reduce the number of access points.
