Man, no one ever gives Maryland the respect they deserve. Also, this is a trash talking thread. All serious posters are more than welcome in Tuna's thread. You over rated Wake and well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: DUCK FUKE!! witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Nope, it looks like skydiving movie is down again. If it comes back up, both Clay and Kanssas have their videos up there. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Overall don't like the soundtrack, but that one song in We Were Soldiers stirs the blood. Das Boot has an exceptional soundtrack. Saving Private Ryan is well done except for one or two spots. I like that I can't remember anything specific about it. It helped the movie without getting int he way. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

"President Clinton signed the 1994 federal Crime Bill into law on Sept. 13, 1994, including the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which made it a federal crime for a private individual to possess or transfer (sell, give, etc.) a "semiautomatic assault weapon" (AW) manufactured after that date. [18 U.S.C. 922(v)]." This law has a 10 year sunset provision included, which means unless it is reauthorized and extended, it will cease to exist 180 days from today. The law banned semi-automatic firearms which have any two listed cosmetic features, plus the ability to accept a detachable magazine. For rifles these features included a pistol grip, a flash suppressor, a bayonet mount, and a folding or telescoping stock. To illustrate, I have attached pictures of two semi-automatic firearms. The first is Pre-Ban. It contains several features which would make it illegal for citizens to own or sell if it were made after 09/13/94. The second is the exact same semi-auto firearm, but without the banned features. This firearm is legal for citizens to own no matter when it was made. Both firearms have the exact same internal components, the exact same rate of fire, and shoot the exact same ammunition. However, only one is legal. To be clear, this law address semi-automatic firearms, not fully-automatic firearms. Full-auto firearms are machine guns; they continue to fire as long as the trigger is held. Semi-auto firearms fire one bullet for each pull of the trigger. This law has no bearing on full-auto firearms. They are strictly regulated, and have been since 1934. United States Code, from uscode.house.gov (B) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of -(i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a bayonet mount; (iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (v) a grenade launcher;(C) a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of - (i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; (iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; (iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and (v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; and(D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of - (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and (iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Those were my questions back to him. I believe melee weapon generally encompasses any weapon used in hand to hand combat, from rocks and sharp sticks to long swords and mourning stars. Bow and arrow is pushing the definition, but his answer adequately covered our points of discussion. Also, when I said "killed," I meant a land or flying animal or any other predator, just for clarification. So yes, a fishing net counts, but not if only used on fish. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I believe that they said, "either you're with us or you're against us". Nothing in there about being a traitor. Actually, I believe it was, "Ether you're with us, or your with the terrorists." And it was Bush who said it. Much more effective. Being against the US is one thing, but being with the terrorists is something completely different. Rhetorical strong point. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You know, you seem really confrontational when you reply to me. Are you still upset about that salt on the railroad thing? Sorry, trips to Africa are a bit outside my price range, and no, I haven't come across any bobcats or mountain lions. Yes, in fact I'm fairly sure we were hunted by a pack of wolves, but we never had to confront them. The howls are less frightening than the low growls. Bears through the back yard was not an entirely rare event when I was growing up. Managed to tag a deer with a long blade (I suppose it passes for a machete). It made the mistake of crossing a large stream near our camp. I cut it and dragged it under. First experience with a significant amount of blood (I don't qualify bullet holes as significant amounts of blood). Also my first experience being treated with field first aid outside of practice. I don't underestimate any wild animal anymore. I respect most hunters for the skills they have above and beyond the rest of the population. Obviously, there are the Jim-Bobs out there who hunt from the truck window, but most hunters are more capable outside "civilization" than other groups. Most hunters I know are at least minimally trained in survival. And in my opinion, a person is not prey until they start thinking like it. I will always believe the best option when under attack is attack harder. I may be hunted, but I will not be prey. So now it's my turn. Have you ever seen a big cat outside the zoo? Have you ever seen a bear or wolf in person? Have you ever killed with a melee weapon? Would you be prey when unarmed? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
