  I'm with you, Mike. Shooting the .22 is just so much damn fun. I'm gonna miss it when I run out too.           Beats waiting for Obama to appoint and ammo Czar to decide who gets ammo and how much. LOL ;)

The more of his videos I see, the more and more I like this guy. That was an absolutely AWESOME explanation of how to not only write the history books in black and white, so that the Dems can't hide from what his administration stood for, but also to free the Repubs from the "party of NO yoke" that they've been accused of wearing.

  I don't want to misunderstand, so can you clarify that?   As much as I'd like to think I'm right by being far right, I'm afraid if I told some of my liberal and moderate friends that my side is the only ones upholding the Constitution, they'd see things differently.

I'm part of that really small group, but I'm not self-deluded enough to think my wishes would make America happy. My enemy is NOT the middle, it's the left.

  I'm not sure who has the steak, who has the chicken, or who is the dog in your analogy, but politicians are going to do whatever gets them re-elected. Right now pandering to the moderates gives them the most bang for the buck.    I believe the average far right conservative is too wrapped up in their ideals to even realize they are in the minority. Why on Earth would a Republican alienate 3/4 or more of the country to appease such a small group?

  The budget fights can't be timed for political expediency, so those fights will happen and Obama will veto any budget the other side comes up with.      Dragging out the confirmations hearings for appointees is also a good thing (sometimes gridlock is good, LOL).   If the Republicans are smart, they'll send the Keystone Pipeline bill through in late summer of 2016 when America is sick of summer gas prices. Obama will have to veto it or piss off the tree huggers close to the big election. That will put him in a bad place with the right and the middle.   Edit: We just have to be careful not to spoil things for 2016 by being douchebags now.

Well, that turned out way better than I hoped. Lots of conservative young (30-somethings) candidates got elected, which gives me hope for the future. Some first time women and black candidates got elected too. Big gains in both houses. All in all...a good day.

I like all 3 of these ideas a lot:     This would be a "nice to have" law, but it's not something I'd trade any other political capital to get. The hassle and the $10 sucks, but they've never kept me from buying a gun.     I try to stay informed on these laws, but I too am confused from time to time. Someone recently asked me was a certain park legal to carry and I just didn't know.     BEST FOR LAST...this would be the number one thing I'd want passed this year. I'd forego any other legislation for a year or more to get this ONE thing passed.

Much worse...Obama supporters

I hear you can go to Gander Mountain and actually shoot the bow before you buy it. I haven't tried, but several have told me this.

I was there bright and early. Normally I'd be happy to see a long line at the poll, but I distinctly smelled democrat on some of them.

There's a lot of Ruger products I'd love to have...most of all the NRA edition of the 10/22 Take-Down.   I don't think they're hurting. They knew the bubble wouldn't last.

Jeez! Poor guy...easy mistake to make too.

I don't think any of the 3 deserve any more respect than the others, except maybe the balls out pro 2A stance Magpul took against CO last year. That was way cool of them. They all make good gear and are doing what their customers want, but I'd call the other 2 arrogant instead, if they'd been the ones that went to Magpul and asked them to change their Pmags.

Yeah, "arrogant" may or may not be too strong of a word. I'd imagine Magpul makes a mint in sales a year...and to their credit, they climbed to the top by making parts that work with the mil-spec standard. Along comes 2 mfgs with no hangups about straying slightly from that standard where it shouldn't hurt and Magpul now has 2 well-respected name brands making some lowers that their mags don't work with. I say it's oops on them...unfortunate placement of a ridge on their mag.

BTW...I love the looks of that Royal Arms lower. Not many mfg today would be willing to forego putting their logo on something to keep it clean and simple like that.

  I totally get that Pmags are the most popular mags out there. They're good gear. There's something about the idea of Magpul approaching a mfg like Noveske and Spikes to ask "will you change the design of your lower receiver, so it will work with our plastic magazines" seems....well...arrogant, for lack of a better word.

LMAO, yeah I've seen some episodes where a cop my age and a couple of donuts past slim would've had no chance if the thug had on a track suit or even a properly fitting pair of jeans. It's hilarious to me.

Not for long, Obama's spies saw your post and are on the way to rid you of all that evil coal.

There's only 2 groups of people who like the "pants around your butt with your drawers showing" style. One is the idiots that wear it, obviously. The other is the guys whose job often includes having to chase them before arresting them.

My garage stays pretty darn cold in winter, even with an electric oil filled heater and a ceramic heater going. I hope my new sealed/insulated garage door changes that. I'm hoping the oil filled heater is enough. I love those things!

I keep my HD shotgun in one slung over the post of my bed. I have a couple of pouches attached to the molle to hold some extra shells, knife, flashlight, etc. Keeps all that stuff all in one place. So my vote is for "cool gear". My wife rolls her eyes about it, but we'll see who the mall ninja queer is when she's hiding behind me and my scabbard when something goes bump in the night.

I need to start an "educate me" thread about .300 black out. It seems like a really popular choice...I may NEED one too. LOL

Hell no I didn't take the ejector and extractor off of my bolt, I'm WAY too lazy for that crap. LOL Plus I was already happy that mine shot. We used his fully disassembled DPMS bolt and carrier when we measured the headspace. I tried mine too for grins, though, and got the same results. I still don't see why anyone would make a gauge that can't accurately measure headspace without disassembling the bolt. You don't shoot without an extractor and ejector, so why should they make a gauge that requires them to be removed? Furthermore, if the fully assembled BCG closes on 3 or 4 different brands of ammo, I don't see what the gauge shows you that the ammo doesn't show you.

No kidding.   That's exactly what I thought, but it says MINIMUM right on the side of the gauge plain as day. Doesn't mean it's not mislabeled, but isn't Forster a reputable manufacturer?
