Many of us here have been furious many times over the years.
Hell, ive been voting sinse long before you were born.
The first time I voted was in the 102nd US congress midterms in 1990.
In 1994 we elected George Pataki for NYS governor, beating Mario Cuomo, and having our first Republican...
Ohhh, I get drunk!!
I just don't seem to get pass out drunk. I honestly drink until its just not fun anymore. I go from feeling great, to feeling kinda sick. Ive never puked from alcohol, but ive got a headache and sweats from WAY too much booze.
Back when I was younger it was common for people...
Luckily all our neighbors are shooters. We shoot into the side of a cliff, with a large hill behind it, then miles of private property behind that.
We dont really have neighbors in the traditional sense. Mostly hunting camps and Amish. The closest neighbors shoot more than most people.
They...
I was never a social drinker, I really only enjoy the taste of Whisky, and then only in small amounts.
But, for many years I used alcohol for an easy thrill. I would only drink a couple times a month, and ONLY to get shitfaced drunk.
I cannot think of anything worse than an ice cold beer on a...
I will say this again.....
Does anyone remember how food stamps worked?
Every eligible person/family got a little booklet of "stamps". There were stamps for meat, stamps for dairy, stamps for bread.....and stamps for "snacks".
A certain percentage of your monthly allotment could go towards...
The alcohol thing is complete bullshit, but its nationwide, even in places like Texas.
Ive never been a big drinker, and haven't had a single sip of alcohol sinse December 30th 2019. I had a few beers and fell asleep before new years.
Not being able to go into most restaurants with a gun is...
My neighbors just to the South of us have been very spooked the last few years.
Their governor, Josh Shapiro want gun control, but luckily Pennsylvanias rural voters have kept time at bay for the most part.
They know its just a matter of time.
At the shop I frequent, they have been selling a...
Hopefully Texas lives up to its reputation for keeping criminals in prison.
Texas doesn't usually do plea deals, and don't let crims out for good behavior or over crowding.
Im pretty sure they will go for the full 50 or 100 years.
THAT'S A HUGE BITCH!!
Its kind of amazing this dude, Robert Wadlow was like 18 years old in this picture, he looks like hes in his 50s!
He died at 22 I believe.
Today he would probably live to 80. He had a tumor that is very easy to remove these days.
Born 100 years to early. :(
I live in a very rural area full of rednecks. There are a LOT of pot smoking gun owners.
Still, never a single unjustified shooting in our area.
Ive seen several fist fights where BOTH pothead combatants were currently carrying handguns. Never has a gun came out of its holster. Just country...
As we in NY know, this is most likely not a great thing for the UK.
Raise your hand if you believe Houchl is better than Cuomo. I told everyone who wanted Cuomo out that it WILL get worse, and it did. Cuomo was a regular patriot compared to Houchal. Yes, I know I keep spelling her name wrong, I...
Maybe the most unpredictable animals ive ever dealt with. Ive seen very docile moose who allow people to pet them. And ive seen the "destroy on sight" moose.
Put it this way, im always more wary when I see fresh moose prints than fresh bear prints. Bears can be reasoned with somewhat, moose are...
Moose are MUCH more dangerous, and cause MANY more injuries than bears. But bears still win in the kill your ass category. Moose are angry beasts. But if you give up completely, they will GENERALLY leave you alone. Brown bears and especially black bears will kill you dead just because...
Heres the thing, 50 BMG with an optic, and suppressors are expensive.
As any cop can attest to the vast majority of guns used in violent crimes are the crappiest, $100 "throwaway" gun with 7 rounds of random ammo in a 15 round magazine.
Even of everything is stolen, the gangbanger buyer isnt...
But what about all the suppressor killings ravaging our nation??
Oh wait, ive never actually heard of one before. Im one of the sickos who watches every police video, every video from John Correa, and tons of true crime....
Thats thousands of shootings ive "witnessed" over the years. Ive NEVER...
I used to spend a lot of time in Western Montana during my schoolin days.
Thats where I got in a tug of war with a grizzly over an elk leg!
I was dumb and brave back then, now id just let him have it. We were warned by hunters in the area that there was a 700 pound boar approaching hunters while...
Maybe another sign explaining how good firearms are at stopping crimes like violent rapes and home invasions.
According to ALL the data collected over the decades, your life is much more likely to be saved by a gun, than taken by one.
The thing this legislation overlooks is that the "public...
Ohhhh boy how things can change in a year.
In 2024 I got back into pocket knives because I found the high value Chinese knives. I had a lot of fun buying sub $100 knives, and used every one of them.
Like a dolt, I fell into the cult of the "budget banger" crowd.
And to be honest, I still stand...
Dudes don't belong in girls sports.
That out of the way, this is a perfectly "normal" wrestling move. Its normally done from the front to keep the bottom from rolling to their stomach to avoid a pin.
But is also used to move an opponent into a position to be reversed, which APPEARS to be what...
Google maps says 319 miles, and a 5 hour 8 minute drive. Thats WAY too close to Austin for me!
Texas is weird, they have little enclaves of leftist strongholds everywhere. Voting maps dont tell the whole story. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and even Austin have very blue areas and very red...
As others have mentioned, his biggest mistake was saying he didn't feel threatened. One of the main points of "stand your ground" is the THREAT of death or great bodily injury.
In a SYG state it shouldn't matter if the property owner lived there or not. The entire point of SYG is you can stand...
Im VERY aware of gun violence.
In February 2026 we were doing some work around my friends property. We also did some shooting.
At some point my "friend" decided to bring my truck up to the pond we were working at. The pond is about 1/2 mile down a dirt road.
What he DIDN'T realize, is I had 2...
No stickers, just a Buffalo Bill's license plate holder on both ends!
The face was because you're right, im gonna need a COEXIST sticker....maybe on the muffler, or under the hood.
I have 7 pairs of Crocs, I refuse to go lower than that!
You may ask "why 7 pairs of Crocs?".
Because my wife...
Yep.
Unfortunately im forced to have mixed feelings about this. All the gun owners are praising the alphabets and other leftists for arming up.
Of course I am all for every American to own guns, many guns!
But, from what im seeing....we are not the same. While we buy guns for plinking, home...
Seriously, they are Blue Dog Democrats. They are fiscally conservative, love big government and big military, but are socially moderate.
They are overwhelmingly pro LGB.....(I refuse to add the T ), and lean to the left on most other leftist social things, except medical and welfare, which the...
Vermont is the only state which has never required a permit to carry a handgun. They have been constitutional carry sinse the 1791!!!
And Bernie Sanders used to have sn A+ from the NRA.
I think the issue is that many Vermonters are FUDDS.
Heres the thing about that.
Up in Northern Vermont where we have family, there a thousands of Subarus and Volvos. These people all wear Lands End cloths, they all love kayaking and cross country skiing, they meet at Starbucks 3x a day, 50% of the women are named Karen, and they all have a cabin...
I will put this thread together with the "what did you do today" thread.
Well, I stole a car!
My 87 year old dad finally "decided" to not drive anymore. Hes almost blind in one eye, and cant see much out of the other.
In 2021 at 82 years old, he decided to buy a brand new car. Im completely...
Ideally yes.
If you've read any of my posts over the years, you would know I want an "opt out" option on my American Dream. Without going into details AGAIN, ill just say this.
Ill help pay for the things I use.....local roads, volunteer fire department.....but other than that, im good on my...
My $30 Crosman 760 will easily kill a chipmunk or squirrel at 20-30 yards. But like @Mosinitis said, at 20+ yards you'll hit the critter maybe 1 out of every 10 tries.
I bought it about 8 years ago to rid our property of chipmunks. After getting 2 with about 25 tries, I just got out the 10/22...
There is not an American alive who wishes less government, and less restrictions than me, not one.
But, proving you are an American citizen to vote in an American election is something I support 100%.
Where I live we don't really need voter id. The people running the polling station are Carroll...
Holy Jesus people, Im very familiar with all of this. My first comment was in response to the assertion killing your family is a "those peoples" issue.
Of course when you crunch numbers things tighten up. My point was that lots, and lots of white dudes kill their families....period. And its...
Unfortunately most people dont notice, or understand dangerous idiosyncrasies. Because most odd people arent dangerous.
And you're right from what ive seen. These family killers are almost always considered "normal" by everyone close to them.
I watched one video about a guy in California. He...
Well, I didn't do the math, because I really dont care. What im saying is that ive watched dozens of videos about family annihilators, and 95% are middle income white guys in suburbia.
Its just crazy how many seemingly well educated, well respected guys with good jobs are brutally hacking their...
Hey, you know I agree with almost everything you say, even much of the naughty stuff we aren't allowed to talk about. And I understand where you're coming from here.
But, like a divorced soccer mom, I watch a LOT of true crime content.
At least in the USA, the VAST majority of family...
What many people dont talk about, is the unspoken truth about slavery.
Was it horrible? Absolutely.
But, just over 1% of Americans owned slaves. Only the extremely wealthy could afford slaves.
And now the controversial part, but true. There were issues with indentured service, debt, and share...
