  1. I love my .40, but I hate buying ammo for it. At least it's not a .45, I guess...
  2. The force on the trans isn't the problem, it's just that the motor will turn if you push hard enough to loosen the nut.
  3. Yeah, I'm guessing that's not the case this time. Old couple in their 60s? Nice part of town, too. My in-laws live not too far from there.
  4. Seriously, I think you'd find more than a few Guardsmen on the other side of the line. That said, I don't think the sort of "Occupy" demonstrations from gun owners are very likely. We're not your typical protest types.
  5. I can tell you that the population of the National Guard units that I interact with (been in for almost 12 years now) makes an NRA convention look like a Green Peace rally. The Fed would be hard pressed to call any of us to suppress any kind of pro-gun rights demonstration.
  6. DID chain tool FTMFW. Thing is lightyears better than the two broken Motion Pros it replaced.
  7. Planning on going to the range on Friday with a few buds, but don't want to use up any of my stockpile. Is there anywhere around the Dayton area to go buy ammo without getting raped?
  8. I really think you're overestimating a few things here. First, that the Obama team has any clue what's actually going on. Second, that the result of the Arab Spring in Egypt (which was inevitable) could have been anything other than the Muslim Brotherhood or an analog. And third, that the government of Egypt has the sort of control over its populace that you seem to think it has.
  9. You're giving him far, far too much credit, I assure you.
  10. So tell me again how we went to Iraq looking for OBL. I normally try not to be so condescending, but you're so far from anything resembling reality right now, I feel like I'm on the set of a movie.
  11. You really think our current administration has that big an influence over Egyptian politics? Lemme guess, you probably think the Libya campaign was his doing, too?
  12. Are you high? Right. Much better to wait until airplanes are smashing into buildings to start hunting/killing terrorist cells.
  13. Except for the part where by the time we got OBL, he was irrelevant. Do you all really think that all international terrorist planning against the US began and ended with him?
  14. hy·per·bo·le [hahy-pur-buh-lee] noun, Rhetoric . 1. obvious and intentional exaggeration. 2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”
  15. Seems like it might've done more good if she'd thrown it at him.
  16. Bet she wishes she had an assault rifle...
  17. Having a strong opinion is fine, but having a strong opinion in the absence of knowledge just makes you, well, a candidate for anchor on MSNBC.
  18. Do you know how far away Afghanistan is from Israel? You're sounding more like an idiot with every post.
  19. Actually, no he hasn't been replaced, because we've killed most of his successors. And their successors. That's actually what we've been doing over there for more than a decade, and we've done a really good job of it. Following that, we're trying to build infrastructure and a government strong enough to ensure that, once we're gone, a new cancer won't be allowed to spring up where we've just cut the old one out. But tell me (channeling Condescending Wonka here), how again is Israel supposed to prevent the rise if militant, terrorist Islamist groups in Afghanistan again? Right, so if you picked up a neurophysics textbook that someone left laying around, you'd know exactly what you were reading...
  20. It's in a written agreement with the GIROA, I don't think Obama really has a choice. We're drawing down already, and so are our coalition partners. The status of forces agreement isn't finalized as far as a number goes, but if I had to guess, I'd say less than 5000. And not forever. Or, it could go the way it did in Iraq, and we'll just leave altogether. But we won't be there indefinitely, like we have been in Europe and Japan (who want us there, btw). You have no idea what you're looking at, and neither does wikileaks.
  21. Yeah, not really. We're pulling out next year, and only leaving some trainers and advisers.
  22. You guys know you're all talking to robots, right?
