I'd like to find a winning lottery ticket in the laundry too, but I have to live my life under the assumption it's not a possibility.

Cool story, so then background checks on gun purchases are illegal because no president before Clinton had them, right ?

Yes, but not all ARs were banned. Everyone on this site is well aware of the ridiculous parameters of the ban, and the myriad ways the industry worked around it. Or are you going to throw out some "no true scotsman" defense when someone brings up thumbhole stocks.

That's one way to punish all of Albany for what they've done to the state...

We're gonna need a bigger rope....

Europe is really running out of time to decide which side they're going to take in this. I have a feeling some Iranian proxy is going to sink one or their ships soon and they'll blame us for.

They won't sell one directly, but you could certainly have one modified.

Need a gimped magazine and probably some minor modification about the bayonet mount, but otherwise I think so.

In the online gaming world they're called griefers. They're the level 80 character who just wants to hang out in the new player area and torture the level 2 characters.

Yea, the markup on "prepared food" can be 50% or even much higher. But the staples will be low.

How much does the Bodega have to pay to get that gallon in the door ? We're talking the markup for the store only, not the whole markup between what the farmer gets paid and what the Bodega sells it for. Not even the whole sale price at the processor, but the delivered price to the back door.

Overall profit margins are 1-3%, but individual product markups are higher, because they don't include all the overhead. So, you might only make 1% profit per dollar of revenue, but to do that you probably need to sell a gallon of milk for 5-10% more than you paid for it. Because the sale...

In general their markup is higher, but I suspect the staples that Mamdani is subsidizing were sold nearly at cost, or even as loss leaders. What's the margin on a carton of eggs or a gallon of milk ?

I do wonder what would happen if some grocery store in Jersey just came across to buy the deeply discounted stuff for resale.

Doesn't matter where they get the money from. It was outlawed because large chains would do it to crush small local competition. If you have 100 hardware stores and you want to open a grocery store, so you run the new store at a loss financed by the hardware stores until you drive all the...

Isn't selling 30% below cost to drive your competition out of business called illegal predatory pricing ? Wasn't that outlawed as anti-competitive behavior by the Sherman anti-trust act ? The Trump administration should absolutely prosecute NYC for this egregious violation of Sherman.

May never be able to convict him, but you can investigate this and I think you're going to find a lot of things a lot of others did when you do. If they could search Melania's underwear drawer they can go through the Biden family business with a fine tooth comb.

Step 1, read the actual bill yourself. Don't just trust the summary someone is handing you. The odds that that's *all* that was in the bill are slim. "Here's a bill that will seize all the guns and child porn, if you vote against it we're only going to mention the porn in the headline".

If you're not intimately familiar with how your system is designed and works, you're probably getting fleeced. As for *where* the power goes, it's one big grid. There is no directing power from one house to a particular place. There is only the inescapable fact that every watt generated at...

There is only one way this ends. Anything else just pauses it for a month or a year.

A 12ga slug is large enough to include a practical explosive shaped charge. Just saying. Anyone doubt the stopping power of 1/2oz of RDX driving a copper liner at mach Jesus ? You get penetration *and* expansion.

Yea, I drive pipe into the ground and then slot in target holders welded up from 5/8 rebar. The rebar is smaller than wood, so less likely to be hit, and I just weld it back up when it is. The rebar is also smaller, so don't need as big a piece of pipe, I usually use 3/4 sch 40 steel. That's...

Yes, the government demanding them is the corruption. The guy should be allowed to build his solar without having to bribe people.

This thread has reminded me why I need to improve my backyard range. I really need a solid covered shooting position. I've been here far too long to keep using the folding table. Also considering adding a zip line target setup so I can get longer range without having a major hike to reset...

I've known plenty of combat vets. They appreciate a mag dump as much as anyone. I don't think you've spent much time around any actual infantry grunts if you think otherwise LOL.

So the land owner will get to build their solar, and they'll be refunded for all the hassle the zoning put them through ? Because that's what the corruption is. "pay us if you want to put solar on your field" is graft, plain and simple. denying the solar because they didn't pay enough is...

That's primarily because for every guy shot 14 times by a 10mm there's probably 1000 guys shot 14 times by a 9mm. The odds it was caught on video are just higher for the 9mm. You're not going to find a video of someone getting hit 14 times and surviving from .32NAA either, but it's not because...

If I need to investigate something that goes bump in the night I keep a PS90 by the bed. I keep a spare mag with it. Just saying. I do not plan on running out of ammo, and I do not plan on being stingy with it either if the SHTF.

Zoning is inherently illegitimate. The corruption around it is irrelevant, and inevitable. The government shouldn't be telling anyone what solar they can build at all. The fact that it takes bribes to do it just makes that worse. You should be fighting the corruption, not the corporation...

It's not OK to have unsafe juvenile idiots at your range no matter what rules you have. So, quit trying to idiot proof your range and just get rid of the idiots.

If you don't think the UN and Amnesty international are run by leftist shitbags I don't know what to say.

The whole town ? Every single person ? Or, some people are butthurt that someone else might do something with their own property that makes them money they aren't sharing. Zoning is inherently a collectivist authoritarian concept. "It's your property, but we want to decide what you can do...

Now that is the perfect use for a BFR in 45-70. "Put away your mouse gun Elmer, try this out".

You mean back when China was poisoning our academic and media institutions the old fashioned way ? You don't think all the leftist bullshit is organic do you ? This has been going on since long before the internet was a gleam in ARPA's eye. Long march through the institutions - Wikipedia Long...

You're not pro America anymore than the modern "a woman is anyone who says they're a woman" feminist is pro woman. Much of what you believe is specifically cultivated by America's enemies (primarily the Chinese) to drive a wedge between us and our best allies. You may believe you're pro...

"Climb that you fucking casual..."

There are no reliable sources. When "the best you can find" isn't trustworthy, that *doesn't* mean you should trust them just because they're the best you can find LoL. But you're sure the ones that malign Isreal must be true and the ones that justify their behavior must be false. It's like...

Most of your sources trace back to Hamas. And no, a CNN article that sources all of it's references from the Palestinian Ministry of Health is not an "independent source" LOL.

1. Killing enemy soldiers in a war is not murder, however using child soldiers as cannon fodder *is* a war crime. 2. WTF does that have to do with Tucker Carlson's integrity ?

Idiot is probably not the right word. Shill is probably more accurate. I remember an interview where Tucker talked about his appearance as an "expert" when he was on CNN. He admitted he had no particular clue about the subject, but they needed an expert for their segment, so he was it. So...

Oh, it happened. Nobody getting arrested doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means it happened by design.

What does "fighting a solar farm" constitute ? You out there with the nose ring crowd throwing a tantrum ? Also, *why* fight a solar farm ? What business is it of yours what someone else puts on their own land ? Or do you think solar panels are some mind control technology or something ...

How many were left in Berlin by May in '45 ? When you have your children fighting and you're using hospitals as military outposts, you're not going to have any left.

All 72 of them.

It takes a special kind of dumb ass to believe this constitutes a merger. We are far more integrated with NATO than we would be with Isreal after this deal.

There's a lot more than 10,000 children fighting for Hamas. They start them out around 12. By 18 you're a "senior commander".

LoL, what would you suggest I do about it ? What are *you* doing about it, besides bitching on the internet. It's going to take violence to fix, and we are not in a place now where that's going to work. But, sure, I guess I could hang out on street corners with signs like the leftist morons...

The *median* age of a Hamas fighter is 18. So half of them are "children". So, take half the number of Hamas killed by whatever source you prefer and that's the kids. When someone is shooting at you, they don't get a pass just because they can't grow a beard yet.
