  1. Shit, just cancel it by EO. Use the same language to investigate Barr, the trump family and trump in a new special council investigation. Nothing that Barr has ever touched in his entire time as a trump hack was done in the interests of law. "Beyond that one case, however, it has never been clear what exactly the Durham investigation is looking at. Many of the key figures in the Russia probe have never even been contacted. And the exhaustive inspector general’s report on the Crossfire Hurricane probe does not give rise, beyond Clinesmith’s case, to implications of criminal conduct." Then Barr, Durham can climb aboard their boats and get back to real fishing.
  2. Of course its not chess. trump can't remember the rules of checkers. Its all about the money. He's had a taste of Washington money, swamp money where you collect millions for doing nothing but peddle worthless claims and lies. Then wait for tax free money to pour in. The GOP has no backbone but the odd person stood up and called him out. In his mind thats treason. In his party everyone says yes, pays homage and sends in buckets of cash. He gets rallies where every lie and threat is cheered.
  3. Juan Williams is a FOX media reporter. This story is the latest from The Hill so no paywall. ' "But what if this backstabbing among Republicans makes sense to Trump? What if Trump’s lie that the election was stolen is fatal to the GOP but gives him new life with an infusion of money from the hard-right conspiracy crowd, the most gullible Republicans? Then there is a method to the madness. Here’s the proof that Trump may be on to something." Williams never comes right out to a end game of all this trump maneuvering. “Save America.” is trumps new PAC that has raised over $127 million that trump can spend anyway he wants. What if he is trying to kill the GOP and start a new trump branded political party? Split the trump Save America party off while cannibalizing the GOP at the same time. If he does everything possible to damage GOP senators in Georgia. He can bide his time till midterms, all while peddling more conspiracy theories. Its a merry Christmas in Moscow, Tehran and Pyongyang.
  4. Well clearly the Marines are a bunch of idiots. The army fools. From your story: "rifles from Ruger, Mossberg, Tikka, Savage and others, and they all produced groups between 0.3 and 0.5 inches at 100 yards using factory match ammunition. None were custom or cost more than $2,000, and yet they could hold 1 MOA out to 1,300 yards or even a mile with proper ammunition." from your story yet "With a capable shooter, many factory ARs will hold the “1 inch at 100 yards” standard using match-grade ammunition. " So 1/2 as accurate for the same cost and no gunsmithing. The British special forces and the Russian ones using the same bolt rifle!. Dummies! You should tell David Tubb and Randy Wise that they are using the wrong actions. "2019 NRA ELR Nationals at Camp Atterbury, there were many impressive displays of Extreme Long Range marksmanship, but none better than Randy Wise’s remarkable three-shot string at 2158 yards that set a new ELR Central world record. Randy made a COLD BORE HIT and two follow-up hits on a steel target at 2158 yards. Remarkably, Randy set the new ELR record using a stock Savage action and Savage factory barrel chambered for the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge." I don't think they have chambered the AR in .338 LM?
  5. Brents admitted to owning a Ruger RPR before Which is Ruger's long range and precision, bolt action rifle. Yet he wants the naive to believe the aforementioned semi-autos are also as accurate. They are not in the same class. Wants the naive to believe that semi-autos are good guns for hunting when bolt action rifles are likely 85% or better, the weapon of choice for hunting in America. Brent doesn't choose to cite the use of Remington's 742, 7400, semi auto hunting rifles. He cites the AR-15 and derivatives of it. The DPMS isn't available in 30-06, 7mm mag, .300 WM and other popular hunting calibers. Instead the restrictions of those actions and the calipers that they will function with. Are all acceptable as long as they take 20-30 round mags.

    He's 76 and the trump inner circle keeps playing with fire.
  7. I must be inherently heartless. Because I personally like that entire concept. Stupid and corrupted people who don't value the character of your constitution. Seeking to subvert it. Donating cash to crooks like trump and the current GOP. Are a match made in evangelical heaven. Which is different from trump tenants swindled by trump rent/tax scams. Different from students of trump university who honestly thought they may learn something. Different from the investors and bankers that thought trump entered into bona fide contracts.
  8. I get confused by the trajectory of your arguments. You first post that the debate has gone off your original subject. Then post about the 30-30 v .270. Then link a relatively inaccurate $1400 semi-auto based upon military designs. Presumably because its semi-auto and takes high capacity mags. The fact that the pandemic has driven new gun purchases. Purchases by new gun owners that has been referenced by yourself and others. Yet you keep driving those purchases back to semi-auto rifles with military origins. All of which take high capacity magazines. None of which has seen a new rush of buying. Driven by politics. Just come out and say you love semi-autos with high capacity mags. That you'll use any straw argument to justify ownership and new purchases of them. Its OK. We'll still love you!
  9. So you're in favor of banning handguns because of their inherent danger and misuse? What about the .454, .50 cal hunting revolvers? You make good points in the gun debate. But not in this thread. AR's see 99.9 percent of their use in the US shooting steel, plinking, etc. with almost no hunting.
  10. Sorry Joe is right here. Sure you can hunt deer if you handload a good bullet. But anything under a .270 is a compromise and you know it. I'm sorry but even though you're right its legal in only one or two states. It should be illegal and its disgusting. No self respecting sportsman shoots animals after pursuing them with a helicopter, vehicle, etc. Its not sporting, fair and nothing paints hunters in a worst light. For the uninitiated none of the pigs shot from a helicopter are retrieved for food. There are commercial trappers that trap live pigs for commercial meat sale.
  11. Wrong, as usual. Right. The .223 is second in popularity to the .22-250 for varmints. Varmints being gophers to coyotes. Its also the minimum caliber for deer in many US states although many define it as center-fire minimum.
  12. "Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy complained Monday of being the victim of six years of "slander", in his first remarks to the court at his landmark corruption trial. Sarkozy became France's first modern head of state to appear in the dock last week, going on trial on charges of corruption and influence peddling. The 65-year-old right-winger, who also faces trials in two other investigations, is accused of offering judge Gilbert Azibert a plum retirement job in exchange for inside information on an inquiry into his campaign finances. "I don't accept any of the slander that has been levelled at me over the past six years," France's leader from 2007 to 2012 told the criminal court in Paris." What Happened When Other Countries Prosecuted Former Leaders? It happens all the time, just not in the U.S. Slate Dec. 2, 2020 Oh well, trump was right when he infamously said he could kill someone and get away with it.
  13. "Austria’s former Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser was sentenced to eight years in prison Friday for his involvement in a major corruption scandal, local media reported. The criminal court of Vienna said Grasser was guilty of providing insider information to a private investor ahead of the sale of 60,000 state-owned apartments in 2004. Grasser pocketed around €9.6 million for his part in the deal, the court heard during the trial, which lasted three years and became known as the BUWOG Scandal after the company involved." Meanwhile in the Banana republic there is talk that the the "rule of law" doesn't apply to its elected kings. Cue Lee Greenwood - God Bless The USA Because even though the US ranks 28th on the world corruption index. At least for the USA its "FREE" and blessed by "GOD".
  14. Seventy to eighty percent of republicans believe the election was stolen. Nothing has changed since any of these court rulings.

    Pastor of California Megachurch That Defied Lockdown Order Dies of COVID-19 "A California pastor has died from COVID-19, five weeks after his megachurch reopened in defiance of the state’s ban on indoor religious services...the church nevertheless ignored a mid-July order banning indoor church services. Church officials insisted to the Times that Byrant didn’t come to church after he developed symptoms but they weren’t sure when the pastor was last in the church." In other religious news: Michigan Pastor Tells Congregation to Catch COVID-19 and ‘Get It Over With’ "A Michigan pastor has encouraged his congregation to contract the deadly coronavirus surging across the state so they can just “get it over with.” Bart Spencer, a senior pastor at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Holland, made the stunning suggestion during a Nov. 14 sermon. “COVID, it’s all good. It’s OK. Get it, get it over with, press on,..Lighthouse Baptist Church is still holding in-person services without masks or social distancing mandates. “We trust our people to make their own decisions,” Spencer said.." No wonder trump has so many supporters from the religious right.
  16. Thank goodness there is a professional, non-political FBI.
  17. You must have done well in high school drama classes.You don't need semi-autos or high capacity mags for self defense. If you think you do you need some more range time and less time on the x-box.
  18. Your logic, your misuse of historical perspective is so fatally flawed as to defy reasonable response.
  19. IMO training is a smaller segment of the issue. I would have no issue with Brent owning the aforementioned full auto AR as long as his mental stability precludes misuse. With Brent's training should he decide to kill as many people as possible. He could likely formulate a plan to do so without guns. The problem with high capacity magazines and mental instability is that dangerous public outcomes are far more lethal. Western countries have kept high capacity magazines and more lethal guns under tight restrictions. The US hasn't. Thats why in France there are knife attacks instead of mass killings. In Germany vehicular assaults. In Canada attacks with lever action rifles and not the AR with 30-60 round mags. There seems to be an acceptance that the will of the majority will be defeated by the gun lobby during Biden's administration. Brent objection noted. That may change with the next mass shooting. Which seems overdue given US history. What won't likely change is the power of the gun lobby in the US.
  20. A new action in the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, has been filed by tenants in trump owned properties. The scam was started by trump's daddy, Fred, who increased the cost of renovation materials at least 20% above the cost of purchase. All to increase the cost of rents in their buildings and circumvent rent control laws “You try so hard, and to hear something like this, it breaks my heart, because I believe they are just taking advantage of poor people,” Leonie Green, a Westminster Apartment tenant for over 22 years, told The Times. This one is obviously different from the "Consulting Fees" fraud investigation by the SDNY. Into the entire trump crime family. Perhaps a pardon for daddy is also in the works?
  21. Once again the GOP, the NRA prove that the will of Americans is trumped by the minority of the gun lobby.
  22. "The researchers also show there was no statistical difference in the surge in background checks between Republican-leaning and Democrat-leaning states. This differs from November months during election years and months following mass shootings. Following these events, background checks increased significantly more in Republican states due to uncertainty about changes to gun laws, a subject of great concern to many Republican party members. These findings reinforced the idea that firearm enthusiasts worried about changes in gun policies were not driving the increased sales in 2020." "President Donald Trump—after a lobbying blitz from gun rights groups—issued guidance that gun shops should be considered essential businesses and allowed to remain open, even as states were forcing other retailers to close their doors in an effort to slow the spread of the virus. Many state governors complied, and some even reversed previous orders to have gun stores closed, citing Trump’s guidance. The National Rifle Association filed lawsuits against local jurisdictions that forced gun stores to shut down, including the states of New York and New Mexico and two counties in California." This is the type of fearmongering that the NRA is best known for.Covid = unrest = fear so buy a nice little full auto.
  23. Apparently. Because this whole story/thread is FAKE NEWS! The NSSF is the US firearms industry trade group. It stated: "2020 has been unlike any other year for firearm purchases—particularly by first-time buyers—as new NSSF® research reveals millions of people chose to purchase their first gun during the COVID-19 pandemic....Thanks in large part to the work done by NSSF’s legislative team, the firearms industry was deemed essential in most states, and firearm retailers were allowed to stay open to conduct business. And conduct business they did, with NSSF-adjusted NICS figures showing year-over-year increases of 80 percent in March and 69 percent in April 2020." So fear, trump and the NRA was responsible. Thanks Brent.
