4473 and NICS and a serial number are not required for a homemade gun. In most of the US it's perfectly legal for me to build a rifle from scratch and never put a serial number on it, or even tell anyone it exists. The SCOTUS ghost gun ruling was about selling kits. It says nothing about...

They should just start having some US ships stop in Taiwan for shore leave. Could have stopped the whole Ukraine debacle without firing a shot with just a couple thousand troops on their eastern border to play in the mud.

Troops levels for *everyone* are a fraction of WWII. And 2025 Russia is not the 1945 Soviet Union. Russia would cease to exist as a country if they saw WWII soviet level casualties

His big campaign promise was to control the border. Illegal immigration is down 95%. The deep state certainly hasn't grown. Maybe some more of it was exposed, and obviously it's not gone, but I can't imagine what metric you're using to claim it's grown. No politician can keep all the campaign...

Open carry is a political statement. Like wearing a MAGA hat, you are sacrificing a little safety to make that statement. You need to be cognizant of that fact the entire time you do it.

Cannot be sold without a serial number is a far cry from what we have now. With this, it would be perfectly legal for me to just whip one up in my garage.

It's funny how the same people pushing this are the ones calling it a constitutional crisis that Texas wants to ban pharmacies in other states from shipping plan B. Not that I agree with Texas's position on that, but any lawyer arguing this case should absolutely be quoting the left's arguments...

The 9x21 is a lot more common as the IMI version than the TSW. I can see the attraction to making it a .30cal bottleneck, I just think you're picking the wrong parent. 9x21 IMI is a lot easier to find. This does remind me quite a bit of the 9x25 Dillon. 1800fps with an off the shelf 115gr...

Where does it say no homemade ? I can stamp a serial number as easy as the next guy. Plus there's no NICS if it doesn't go through a dealer, so no need for one for that, anymore than any other 80%. Hmm, that brings up the possibility of 80% suppressors..... "here's a bag of K-baffles and the...

The whole Ukraine thing was a trap, and he walked into it just like Saddam. Maybe you're right and he learned his lesson, we will see.

And all the people who shout "congress controls the purse strings" every time Trump wanted to *not* spend money are praising her for it.

Dropping the $200 tax will have huge ramifications. Nobody makes a cheap suppressor, because the $200 tax makes it pointless. Nobody pays a $200 tax to buy a $50 suppressor, so the cheapest ones are $400. Imagine how much a cheap pen or a watch would cost if there was a $200 tax on them. But...

So, how many Russians do *you* think have been lost in Ukraine ? How many do you think they lost in Afghanistan ?

Tell that to the families of the half a million dead Russians. They're in the neighborhood of 10x the number of casualties they suffered in Afghanistan, and that was when they had the whole Soviet Union to draw from.

A lot of employers will already do that. I'm not saying that some financial aid wouldn't help, but trade school never had the financial barriers that 4 year colleges do. The problem with 4 year colleges is that they've had a *very* successful 50 year marketing campaign that has convinced most...

LoL, Ok, sure they can. And Putin still isn't dining in Kiev 3 years later for what reason ? But, let's assume you're right, and Putin has just been pulling his punches for the last 3 years. Wouldn't you be pissed if you were the family of one of the half million Russian soldiers killed or...

Russia doesn't have anything left to go in with short of nukes. If they launch a single nuke, then the only logical response from the west is absolute annihilation. If they nuke Kiev, then you must assume that they will nuke DC, Paris, and London if they don't get their way too. The only...

Unless congress specifically earmarked that money for Harvard it's going to be really hard to justify that ruling. That's what Trump needs to do to counter that bullshit. "Congress appropriated funds for LGBT comic books in Guatemala and the courts are forcing me to spend it, fine. We'll pay...

The Ukranians are already fighting it. It's not like they have to worry about Russia escalating anything, they're already all in.

And what would you suggest Putin *do* about that ? Attack a NATO base in a NATO country ?

We have a pandemic. Far worse than Covid. This one is "Munchausen by proxy".

One of my main concerns is making my place not appear to be comfortable from a distance. You don't want to be one of the few houses with lights still on at night a week after the collapse. And an open or smoky fire is like a beacon saying "someone's home"

Don't underestimate how much menial labor will be necessary. It doesn't take long to train someone to split firewood for instance. Now, if these are the sort of people who would refuse to do that, then they may change their mind when they get hungry enough.

Just need to use 45 cal cans in your .223 rifle. Sure they're not as quiet, but that extra dimentional tolerance makes up for the shoddy construction LOL.

Unless individuals participating in unlawful surveillance are prosecuted and inprisoned it doesn't matter. They will ignore the law and do as they please. Every agent responsible should face charges, "just following orders" cannot be an excuse. LEOs *should* question every action they take...

As much as this sounds great, it's essentially suicide to have more than 50% of the population not paying taxes. They will inevitably demand more and more services and will not care what the cost is because they have no skin in the game.

People who make their sexuality their whole personality are insufferable. It's just as true for LGB as it is for heterosexual fuck boys. And the rest of the alphabet has nothing to do with LGB and the LGB folks shouldn't let the rest weasel their way into their community.

Can confirm. Also, road runners are bastards. They commonly destroy the eggs and nests of other birds.

Since the thread was resurrected, I think the recent grid collapse in Spain is probably the most interesting related event. I think it demonstrates that it's not how long the power has been out for that matters. It's how long people think it will be before it comes up. Power's down for a...

To be fair, the 15th century version of Christianity was incompatibe too. Islam *could* get there. It just needs to grow up.

This goes through and I'm going to see how good I can make one in my shop. "Lathe and Mill go brrr"

Wouldn't surprise me if the shots he got weren't remotely related to the vax they were pushing on everyone else. I give good odds that all he got during that photo op on TV was saline or a vitamin shot or something.

My guess is that his mental decline was precipitated by the cancer drugs he was on. He was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but he did get much worse in the last few years.

Or just permanently attach it to your semi-auto like it was any other thread cap.

No tax means no registry. Shouldn't be anything to transfer. It's not like you're going to transfer your scope to your trust. Suppressors should be like that.

Since the entire NFA is predicated on it being a tax enforcement mechanism, if the tax is $0, then it can't be enforced. The NFA registry is ostensibly there to enforce the $200 tax. Possession of an unregistered device is technically just tax evasion. $0 tax, then zero crime.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion. He spent the rest of his life in Alcatraz.

A B25 has a top speed of 272mph and only has a max takeoff weight of 35,000lbs. The 747s that hit the WTC were going about 450mph when they hit and were carrying about 70,000lbs of fuel. The fuel in each plane alone weighed more than twice as much as fully loaded B25 and it was going almost...

His girlfriend Maxwell is the first person in history convicted of trafficking minors to nobody.
