I think about Tokerev pistol that Nikita Khrushev brought to Soviet Politbureau meeting to arrest Lavrenty Beria. Beria had all means to capture supreme power after the death of Stalin. Beria was determined to start global nuclear war. Khrushev was determined to prevent it. Beria was executed. The war did not begin.

I would not be surprised if both Basseley Nakoula (the movie producer) and Sayyed Nasrallah (Hezbollah leader) were encouraged by the same group of people. The group seeking access to oil fields of Middle East. What they need most and what we need least is engagement of US troops in the fight with Islamic fundamentalists.

The question is not about value of the stolen property. The question is about a judgement and punishment done by single person. More general, it is a question about violent reaction to non violent action. Mahathma Ghandy wrote a huge book about it. I made short observation. Many years ago I've been to Uzbekistan - Muslim Central Asian country. A car theft was everyday reality. Nearly everybody in capital Tashkent lost at least one vehicle. Recently I told to my friend there. There is absolutely no car theft anymore. The leader of the country dictator Karimov implements Shariat law. The punishment for a car theft can be up to 15 years in forced labour camp. With all disrespect of locals to any law, somehow this works. There is no need to shoot thieves.

Russian police has regiment OMOH (both O mean letters, not zeros). They are sturmtroopers licensed to kill. They killed a lot of terrorists, criminals and bystanders. They use 7N21 9mm ammo. As much as I know it has composite bullet, however it is NOT hollow point ammo

I'd like to order a crate of surplus 5.45x39. Anybody want to split it? I am in Knoxville

Sikhs teachings are almost unknown in Western countries. Their faith is military religion Gurmat. Since 15th century till the time of British empire Sikhs were professional soldiers. They were possibly the best fighters in Hindustan. In 19th and 20th century Sikhs mostly served as elite bodyguards and professional assassins. They killed several supreme leaders of India, including Indira Gandhy in 1984. I never heard that Sikhs conducted such activity on US soil. However a lot of people from Punjab might have strong personal reason for avenge I never understood Sikh's concept of saint-soldier. All these ethnic/religious specialities can not justify an attack on priests at their temple. Every civilised man should distinguish the holly scripture written in 15th century and code of conduct of the group of people in XXI century

Hello All, I need to make concrete footings for a foundation. I've already dug the trenches, put the gravel and run compactor. I am looking for somebody who have sufficient experience with framing, rebars and concrete itself. I'm ready to pay a fair price for the help. The property is in East Knoxville. I can send the pictures of the construction site. Best regards

More than once in a history similar event triggered transformation of a democracy to totalitarian state. The first one was Reichstag fire 27 February 1933 that brought Nazi to power The last one was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_hostage_crisis that eliminated as little democracy Russia had in 2004

I have AK bending jig

For nearly 100 years Automotive industry did not suffer from any government intervention. The troubles in Automotive are consequences of corporate decision making. Top executives base most decisions on their short term personal goals. They do not care of technical superiority of domestic cars. Americans do not buy "foreign made cars". They buy the cars they like to drive means technically advanced cars. Germans and Japanese (under socialist governments) managed to build such cars. After all the notion "domestic" and "import" are not straightforward. Ford Fusion is totally Mexican car while Honda Accord is domestic (made in Ohio) Unions are evil. Big corporation are even more evil. They would destroy entire country for short term profits of greedy executives.

I had JetBoil malfunction at 11000 ft altitude. The night before climbing Mt Harvard in Colorado. Fortunately we had an alcohol stove for backup The reason for malfunction was blown gasket

I have changed factory barrel to KKM in my Glock 20. The factory chamber was bigger and I could not resize the cases KKM chamber is tight. I can resize and reload In theory reliability should suffer. However I did not have any FTF yet ( after 600 rounds shot) I do not carry Glock, because do not feel comfortable without manual safety

Speaking of popularity of handguns The number of guns on the streets of San Paolo (Brazil) is greater than number of concealed permits in our entire country. There are other places of great gun traditions. I wonder what is the weapon of choice in San Paolo, Manilla, and Monterey.

I use my bike as everyday transportation from March till October. The name "road bike" is misleading. Concrete road of East Tennessee are too ra for the real road bike I recommend to try and compare several road bikes, hybrids and cruisers at Bike Zoo in Knoxville at Kingston pike. You can take a test ride(s) before you buy. They have impressive selection. They also know ho to adjust and tune a bike to fit. They can even build a bike for you.

I spent 12 years in Michigan. At north-eastern suburb of Detroit. I know the history. There was a riot in 1967. The mayor of Detroit Jerome Cavanagh had some connections with the leaders of local ethnic criminal groups. He betrayed the citizens of Detroit. After a minor looting took place at 12th street shop, Cavanagh refused to pull the National guard to the city. It encouraged the looters. Later on president of the US Lyndon Johnson ordered National guard and 82nd Airborne into the city. And again, mayor of Detroit refused to authorise the soldiers to make arrests. The mob led by ethnic criminal gangs destroyed most of the business south of 8 mile road. The mobsters displaced most of West-European descendants from the city. Once a model city Detroit was irreversibly ruined. Neither hard working citizens not business returned. I do not know how much the gang leaders profited of that riot. However they still rule the place. Not democrats

German Panzerfaust scope was built this way. Early Russian RPG had prismatic scope. It is difficult to build prismatic devise that can survive stiff rifle's recoil. An axial scope is way more rigid

I hope that majority of the US army officers are patriots and not-brain-washed. I hope not every police officer is ready to pull fellow citizens into concentration camps. It would be the end of America otherwise Every great dictator of the past had no trouble to recruit oppression forces Ulyanov (Lenin) used militant punks from big industrial cities Joseph Stalin released violent criminals from all the prisons (majority were not Slavic and barely spoke Russian) and gave them right and order to execute Russian citizens Adolph Hitler recruited SS and later Gestapo from city outcasts and criminals plentiful in post WWI Germany Mao-Tze_Dong gathered high school punks to start "Cultural revolution" - extermination of every thinking or patriotic Chinese Fidel Castro was supported and guarded by Havana's mobsters Pol Pot (Kambojia) was brought to power by local criminal clans Nobody used regular military to pull citizens into concentration camps. All used regular police to protect ruling elite. Expect the same pattern in 2012 America: city punks in black uniforms with license to kill

I had loaded .40 S&W with CCI 400 (rifle primer) 6.5 gr of Bullseye and 180 gr bullet They work reliably in striker fired pistols (Glock, Taurus) They are too hard for hummer fired pistols (CZ, Beretta) I did not have any signs of excessive pressure in any of the pistols I tried

@ others very capable 9mm with adjustable sites: Taurus PT 99 and EAA Witness Match: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/231/products_id/54976/Handguns/European+American+Armory/EAA%20Witness%20Match%209mm%2018+1%20Two%20Tone/

7.62x39 is a good round, however it is not the best for AR platform. Tight tolerances of bolt and bolt carrier can handle clear gases from 5.56 round. 7.62x39 generates much more residue. Such residue increases friction in moving parts and eventually the bolt lags refuse to go into the grooves. Reliable 7.62x39 rifle with tight tolerances exists. It is CZ Vzor 58

There is a fundamental difference between Christianity and Islam. Jesus preached peace and love while Mohammed ordered extermination of male population of most tribes surrounding Medina at his time. The mission of Crusaders was to protect and defend prayers. The mission of Jigits (warriors of Allah) was to fight unbelievers. Generalisation: Christianity assumes moral behaviour toward every human being Islam does not require any morality toward unbelievers (keep in mind however that Mohammed considered the followers of prophet Moses and followers of prophet Jesus as believers) The number of people killed in the name of Christ is irrelevant, because the murderers misinterpreted the Christian scripture Christian scripture comply with our constitution Muslim scripture (Hadith in particular) contains some statements that contradict US constitution

AutoZone has 1500 grid water resistant sandpaper. Works good on a feed ramp

I drive Toyota pickup truck. It has 220 000 miles. The weak spots are: Leaf springs Coil springs Shocks Timing chain and tensioner in 4 cylinder engine Blowing fan Electrical connectors easy got corrosion Body rust protection is insufficient The average gas mileage is 18 mpg

180 degree ricochet of the soft .380 bullet with enough energy for scull penetration. I never thought it is possible I would like to get this bullet under my microscope

I had right shoulder broken after the bike incident past November. I had attended physical therapy at Knoxville Orthopaedic clinic for 2 months. They are good. I also did exercises 40 minutes every day in my garage. I highly recommend to install a pulley on the roof of garage and attachment points for resistance tubes while you can do it. They will be your best friends for next 2 - 3 months. As far as you spirit is strong, your body can recover
