Replacement for the 5.56mmx45mm cartridge
warpedskydiver replied to warpedskydiver's topic in Speakers Corner
you will have to excuse me as I didn't make the chart that's from a MIL source at radway arsenal M855 = 62grain and yes it has less retained energy downrange than 77gr 5.56 although the 62gr M855 ball ammo shoots a bit flatter...regardless both have little terminal effect which is the entire point... weapons systems will only require that a current 5.56mm platform be upgraded with a new upper(M16 variants) or rebarreled and a new bolt to accommodate the ammo the ease of use and re-supply of troops will be greatly enhanced as a result it just sucks that we use so many different types of ammo I guess things way back in WW2 had the best idea... all small arms had the 30-06 (M1 Garand, 30cal. belt feds, M1903/17, BAR, or 45cal if you dont count that weak ass 30carbine which was god awful and had trouble pentrating heavy winter garments. -

warpedskydiver replied to tkhayes's topic in Speakers Corner
Does his tenure or lack thereof actually infer his points are not valid?...NO why does then the brady campaign and the NRA both use his studies to state a belief? I will tell you why ....his study (which I actually read) states his position thoroughly, and in fact it has been misrepresented in a dishonest fashion by the brady campaign, in order to negate anyone's stance that the data was in fact supporting the NRA position. NOT a good way to argue a point -

Bush Fails to Prevent East Coast Blizzard
warpedskydiver replied to Gravitymaster's topic in Speakers Corner
Say...did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam? Did Bush go to Vietnam? Or any other war at that? Isn't it great that the party that says they are for the little guy and inclusion and respect for others is filled with hate? Before you judge someone else's service record please consider this: have you served your country in the military?...if so, then feel free to opine if not shut the fuck up. -

The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Americans see less crime than Britons, Canadians By Jennifer Harper THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published February 9, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertisement Historians, world leaders and assorted pundits with Yankee bashing in mind have long cultivated the idea that America is a violent place. Not so, says Gallup, which released a report yesterday revealing that the nation is not necessarily Dodge City: The impact of crime is lower in the U.S. than in Britain, and in many cases Canada. "The U.S. is often seen from abroad as a relatively lawless society, with murders and gun-related crimes aplenty. But a series of Gallup surveys in Great Britain, Canada and the U.S. suggest the image is somewhat distorted," noted David W. Moore of the Gallup News Service. It's close, but the United States emerged as the least crime-ridden. In three polls of 3,025 persons -- about 1,000 in each country -- 32 percent of the Americans said they or someone in their households had been a victim of crime of some type within the previous year. Among Canadians, the figure was 33 percent; among Britons, 36 percent. About 71 percent of both Canadians and Britons, compared with 67 percent of Americans, said there had been more crime in their respective countries in the previous 12 months. Gallup also asked respondents whether they had been mugged, assaulted or had property stolen, among five other unpleasant experiences. Overall, Britain proved the most dangerous, with a quarter of the respondents reporting that they or a family member had been a victim of crime. Canada and the United States were tied at 21 percent. On specific crimes, 22 percent of the British reported their home, car or property had been vandalized. The figure was 17 percent among Canadians and 15 percent among Americans. About 7 percent of the Britons said they had been mugged or physically assaulted; the number was 4 percent for both Canadians and Americans. Car theft was higher in Britain as well, with 5 percent reporting the crime, compared with 3 percent of Canadians and 2 percent of Americans. Americans had experienced the most home computer or Internet-based fraud, with 8 percent reporting it; the number was 7 percent among British respondents and 6 percent among Canadians. Canadians had the highest incidence of money or property stolen, with 17 percent reporting it. Among Americans, it was 16 percent; among British, 13 percent. The countries tied in sexual assaults (1 percent in all three), strong-arm robbery (2 percent) and home break-ins (4 percent). Meanwhile, 45 percent of Britons said they lived within a mile of an area where they were afraid to walk alone at night. The figure was 38 percent among Americans and 35 percent among Canadians. Forty-two percent of British respondents said they had considerable confidence in their police to protect them from violent crime. Among Canadians, the figure was 67 percent; among Americans, 53 percent. The surveys were conducted between October 13 and December 20 last year.

Why you Cannot Reason with Political Hardliners
warpedskydiver replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
It's a shame in the US when believing in our constitution gets branded far right hardliner! I mean damn what an offense that is! I don't see things in that manner at all I am all for helping the downtrodden while not infringing upon the rights of others in the process. I belive those who would legislate our rights away deserve truly to suffer from the erosion of those rights. However nice that our elected officials actually do not obey the rules they impose upon us. TED KENNEDY ARE YOU LISTENING? -
