Then why continue to sell Drugsguns if you believe your culture to be such that more Drugsgunswill result in more Drugsguns crime? If you stop selling Drugsguns, over time less Drugsguns will be in circulation. The price for illegal Drugsguns will skyrocket, allowing less criminals to be able to acquire them. According to some of your own reasoning, wouldn't Drugsguns crime go down? Gee, I bet that will work

Analysis: Thompson scores debate points By David Yepsen, The Des Moines Register Fred Thompson came out on top in Wednesday's debate among the Republican presidential candidates in Iowa. Of all the candidates, he did himself the most good. Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney also scored well. They avoided any last-minute derailments of their front-running candidacies in Iowa and shored up the support they've built. But it was Thompson, the former Tennessee senator, who was specific, good-humored and exuded an executive persona during the low-key, 90-minute session that was sponsored by The Des Moines Register and broadcast by Iowa Public Television. He had several high points. One of them came when he flatly refused to play the "raise your hand" game in answering a question about global warming. Another came when he said the biggest problem facing education was the National Education Association. (Bashing teacher unions is always popular with Republican audiences.) Thompson also gets credit for being a stand-up guy willing to take on entitlement programs that threaten to bankrupt the country if left unchanged. He made it clear that wealthy, older Americans could no longer expect full Medicare benefits if he's elected. Thompson also teased Romney about his wealth and how the former Massachusetts governor is "getting to be a pretty good actor." Had Thompson performed this well earlier in the campaign — and had his campaign started earlier — he might be doing better than fourth or fifth in the polls today. Because he's so far back, he had the most to gain Wednesday by turning in a presidential performance, and he produced. With three weeks until the Jan. 3 caucuses, it may help him pick up some last-minute support in Iowa. His campaign is promising to spend more time in Iowa until that date, and Wednesday's performance gives him a little spark to fan. Huckabee was also a winner. He has surged enough in recent polls of the race in Iowa that he now leads the GOP contest here. None of the other candidates did anything Wednesday to knock him from that position. He was folksy, warm and conservative, qualities that have helped him win over Iowa Republicans in recent weeks. His performance should firm up the support of caucus activists who are starting to move toward him. By telling the audience he "won't forget where I come from," he cleaved a neat class difference with the more prosperous Romney. Romney also turned in an excellent performance. Until recently, he led the contest in Iowa and is counting on an organization superior to Huckabee's to put him over the top on caucus night. Romney was optimistic and polished. He didn't seem rattled by the recent shift in polls, and his performance should go a ways toward quieting the jitters that have occurred in his ranks as Huckabee has soared. He politely thanked Iowans for their hospitality and asked for their votes in the caucuses. The biggest loser of the day was Alan Keyes. He is simply not a credible candidate for the Republican nomination, and his hyperventilating performance illustrated why nobody takes him seriously. In one of the few debates he's invited to attend, he complains about how he's not getting enough time. Including him proved to be a distraction that took time away from the other candidates. The rest of the candidates performed in the middle. Ron Paul seemed calmer than he had been in many debates — perhaps because he didn't have to shout above a crowd booing at his opposition to the war in Iraq. This debate was intentionally focused away from the war since that has been a big topic in many of the earlier debates. That gave Paul a chance to talk more about his economic conservatism and libertarian ideas, which are more appealing to mainstream Republicans. Rudy Giuliani and John McCain were OK, but they were sort of off to the side. They didn't mess up, but they didn't score, either. Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter are credible political figures, but their chances of winning the GOP nomination rank right up there with Keyes'. The two basically said the same things they've said in every other debate. The biggest problem with the debate was that it wasn't really a debate. Candidates got almost no opportunity to grill one another. Often they ran out of time and were cut off just as they started to probe an opponent. The event would have been more nourishing had the format allowed for more back-and-forth.

That's freakin huge!

What about those that play on both sides? Does she go good with rum?

Thanks! I do have one semi auto where all this would come into play. It has very tight tolerances on the chamber and throat. But given the fact if that was all I was ever going to do is shoot 1000yds, I would have chosen the 24" bbl. But this 19.5" should be fine to 1000yds, and outstanding up to 800yds. Good thing that the Grendel was designed to be very effective out of a shorter bbl.

In the initial assault and seizing of control? Or now in a hap hazard typical NATO style operation, where many rules are put in place, and utilized by the enemy, to seek refuge, to evade capture, or direct combat. Waziristan, and relinquishing any ground to taliban forces are things to consider. Personally, after the initial defeat of the taliban, I would have used an extra force comprised of a divison of Marines, and the entire 101st ABN, not just several of it's components. The invasion of Iraq went fine as well, too bad the Iraqi opposition, and several of our so called allies were not ready to do what was needed.(Turkey, France, Spain, etc.)

Neck tension is critical, fine line between loose and too tight. I have an understanding of reloading, and cannot wait to get a Dillion 650, I have a friend with a single stage for smaller reloading jobs. Once I achieve consistancy I will be happy. I will be very vigilant in periodic checking for QC It's nice to have friends with huge amounts of experience to guide me.

Some people use dry moly in the gas tube of operating rod type actions. DI has no need for such. I like dry moly lube for the bolt and carrier. It seems to be the best for being unaffected by cold weather. I use a bit of moly grease on the rings.

A friend of mine used to straddle the rope and stand still.... Her moans drew quite a crowd. I am sure they were merely concerned for her safety.

Great example.

Okey Dokey. Sometimes people really show how they thought of a person after they pass on. No so much in words, but by their actions.

Never mess with old Sicilian ladies

If you knew my mom, you would delete that. She is 73 years old, is in poor health, had seven children, and has to use a walker. She would be offended, and use her cane to permanently crush your nuts

J and Greg class acts from both . I agree.

Agreed, I just wanted to know about the question I posed, that was all.

I have a question Bill, is it a lie to keep repeating the words of a study that has been shown to not be true? I would like to know your take on that. A PM is fine as to not take away from the important debate in this thread.

Ah yes the DNT screw on 700's and the like. Do Not Touch = Sear engagment screw

A sharpie marker can do wonders for determining OAL. Of course Mag fed weapons have the limitation of mag length. Too close to the lands, or touching can cause pressure spikes. Too far, and the bullet has to jump a gap. Amazing how much can go into accuracy.

Fo Shizzle my Nizzle. I have always wanted to say that once, because it is so rediculous

You can pick on, and insult me with impunity around these parts. Feel free to stay.

You wrote: "Nobody important has had their rights and hunting priveledges (sic) infringed upon, so why bother to opine?" Gun ownership IS a RIGHT, hunting is a PRIVELEDGE. I said nothing to the contrary. GO away or at least post something that adheres to the topic. You are violating the rules of conduct posted at the top of SC. Speak about the topic, not your opinion of the poster, or twisting wahat has been said to suit your own perception, or lack thereof.

Yes, another Kallend troll/hijack attack. Somehow I read "TOTAL COOK COUNTY" gun ban...I missed the part about TOTAL GUN BAN (your words) The proposal affects all of Cook County. It effectively bans guns, with noted exceptions. Troll on, McDuff. You can never have enough guns around when those trout are spawning. Apparently in your desperate desire to contradict me you missed this bit from the first sentence of the OP: "Rabid gun-grabbers on the Cook County Board came one step closer last week to instituting a total ban on firearm ownership in the county – except for police and military personnel." Those reading skills come in handy when you bother to exercise them. Yep you are right, learn to read John.
