    We need a new doom and gloom thread. It has been a while.

    So... What's up with an ammo shortage? I'm hearing talk about a major upcoming ammo shortage. Anyone have any details or thoughts?

    FCC bans sale of new model routers made outside the US

    It's the components. Just because the router didn't come from China doesn't mean components didn't that can be compromised with vulnerabilities. Look what mossad did with pagers. Same concept.

    They both want Islam to rule the world. But they each want it to be their own version.

    It's weird to think that most of the people who are pro Muslim.... Have probably never been to Muslim countries. It's a heck of a coincidence.

    What if Supreme Court overturns AW & big magazine ban?

    I got a joke card when I was like 12 from the store, On one side it said "how to keep an idiot busy for hours, turn over to find out" On the other (back) side it said "how to keep an idiot busy for hours, turn over to find out" I used to give it to people to see how long it would take them to...

    What if Supreme Court overturns AW & big magazine ban?

    Well in the hypothetical land where leprechauns riding unicorns go fishing for Nessie, in that case my wife would be big mad at me because I would have a hard time exercising self control with my credit card. Luckily for me, I don't see that situation occuring. Scotus needs to very clearly...

    I don't think it's anti American at all to question this. I want to be America first/America only. I want what's good for America. I fell hook line and sinker for GWOT, OIF, OEF, weapons of mass destruction, patriot act etc. I'm very skeptical of everything because we were all lied to for...

    I've been following that story as well, didn't want to post it here until more details. But he has been fairly absent from recent public appearances. Could be a coincidence, maybe not.

    Casual tactical belt, warm weather carry option

    Interesting concept, have not seen this method previously. Might consider giving it a try, seems like it would work well with light athletic shorts.

    DC Appeals reverses Mag Ban...

    I'm very disturbed someone on a gun forum publicly is promoting the safe act. That's boss level insanity.

    Gunsmith fix magazine to AR lower?

    That's the whole point nothing is "permanent" anything can eventually be defeated and removed it's just a matter of how much effort. A simple mag lock is all that should be needed.

    You will eventually reach a point where depending upon market conditions your annual rate of return will surpass your individual contributions. Once that happens you've reached the tipping point where your 401k becomes a slow moving avalanche picking up speed.

    I could give 2 shits about China taking over some island. I would be cheering for the freedom loving Taiwanese people but at the end of the day, it is what it is. I absolutely do care about China getting the most important AI and semiconductor chips in the world. If China moves on Taiwan I...

    A few thoughts I have today in no order ... Did the US make a strategic mistake to attack Iran or will this decision be proven wise? I'm no fan of Iran but I fear we got manipulated by Israel to do their work for them. Is the petrodollar on life support? US allies are showing themselves to...

    I think the other Western European countries are probably pretty happy Iran is having their capabilities degraded, but they themselves are too afraid to do anything because they've essentially allowed a non uniformed army into their territories and I think they are deathly afraid of internal...

    The law sucks and everyone knows it. I think most people just make their peace with, "if I can show im trying to follow the law, will a DA risk prosecuting me when I am trying to follow the law" I think 0.0% chance a DA will open that can of worms on the safe act if you have a mag lock on...

    Plug Power Project Pulled at STAMP

    NY is utterly incompetent. They would never survive as a private entity if they're couldn't just continue to rape taxpayers as a captive source of generating revenue without consequences for their poor decisions and performance.

    Constructing AR using fixed-mag lower= "take possession"?

    If you go with a mag lock, and end up needing to top load your mag, this will be very worthwhile. https://ddsranch.com/ar-15-extended-rear-takedown-pin/ Makes separating the upper and lower much easier. Just pull the very easy to grab rear takedown pin and the upper pivots open to allow...

    How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Short of actually welding a metal mag in, that's the closest I can come up with to being permanent. Anything else regardless of expoy in a nut hole, loctite on threads, all that is easily removed with tools. Most people have made their peace...

    I said this before, China has to at bare minimum be having discussions if this presents an opportunity for them to exploit. We are clearly stretching and shifting our resources away from asia and to the middle east. We are rapidly using interceptor missiles. Our actions in Iran and Venezuela...

    Congressman grills State Department official over ‘embarrassing’ Biden-era grants to make maps 'more gay'

    This hurts my brain that someone not only came up with this idiotic idea but other people were also convinced it's a good enough idea to support and pay. What the actual fuck is wrong with people that this is something they felt they needed and was a good use of taxpayer money.
