No one is applauding the verdict. Yes, we don't know the whole story as we weren't there. There are however other pictures and witness accounts of him being the instigator in the whole thing. IMO, he had chances to just leave but he didn't. He decided to pull his weapon and he is paying for it...
Well said. F that Strickland guy. He was only there to start trouble so that he can get sensational shots for his "photo journalism". He had every chance to leave if he felt threatened and he was the instigator for the most part in this.
maybe it would have been a lob sided victory, maybe not we would never know now.
Also, if US did march in to China, I bet Soviet Union probably would have had something to say about it.
we very well could have. but powering in to China could have escalated in to a bigger conflict, WW III anyone?
MacArthur's plans did save South Korea without a doubt but they did get pushed all the way back to the 38th and soon as the flood gates from China opened.
US forces got pushed all the way back to the 38th parallel as soon as they crossed the Yalu river in to China. I doubt they would have made it much further in to China to "clean" them up.
Seattle actually had a few of these. Every time people showed up at the buy backs with signs that they will offer more money for the guns. At least they used to when FTF transfers were still legal in WA.
It used to be the same in WA. You can do FTF transfers without having to go through a FFL. I think the law has changed where you have to go through a FFL now.
^yup.
Carry whatever you feel the most comfortable with. one in the chamber or not. All the years of carrying one in the chamber, none of my guns decided to just go off so I think I'm good!
jebus, so you are mad that trucks won't move. so you try to immobilize it by taking the tires and engine out so it can't move... brilliant!
this idiot needs to be locked up for a long time before he actually kills someone next time.
I know this post is probably of no help but I am going to start carrying my SW 627 PC as soon as I can get my permit upgraded.
8 shot N frame 2 5/8th barrel. we will see how long I actually carry it. lol
I got a 24 hour fix it ticket when I first moved here. My tint was legal in WA so I didn't even think about until I got pulled over.
The officer was cool about it and said that I needed to remove it in 24 hours and the ticket will be dismissed.
I think he was looking for something...
when this topic comes up, I usually reply with "If you can come up with a way to guarantee that criminals will never get their hands on any weapon, guns, knives, bats, pointy stick etc to do harm to me or my family, I will give up my guns." They usually don't have an answer to that.
but just giving up is not the answer either. Glad that you are able to move away from NY but there are others that are going to stay behind.
If you don't want to fight any more, I totally understand. It sounds like you put in a lot of effort already and I can see how it is discouraging to not...
Same for me. I do shoot it once in awhile to test function but usually stays in my closet or by my bed.
Mossberg 590A1 is about a tactical as it gets. plain bead sight.
I agree. I would love to be able to attend all rallies, town hall or any other meetings but it is not feasible to do. Especially when the rally is a 3+ hour drive away. I try to contribute the best I can. I just hate the fact that people are thumbing their nose at people doing what they can to...
oh? action is what counts? so what about the action of calling your congressmen that you are thumbing your nose at? Why bother showing up at rallies when it won't do anything to repeal the SAFE act?
I don't get how the "it" in the OP didn't get beat down. how does holding up what basically is a spear to a police horse not considered hostile even if "it" didn't touch the horse?
yup. when I was young, dumb and full of... I would have jumped at the chance but now I would tell her to buzz off. well unless it was a hit it and quit it situation that is.
jesus, I can't believe the attitude of some of the people on here. calling your congressman doesn't cost money or hours out of your day.
I get that it is an uphill battle but it is still better than not even trying anything and hoping for a better NY.
nice rifle OP! question, what did you paint it with? in the past, I have painted some with high temp engine block paint but cleaning solutions like Powder Blast eats right through it. Is there any particular paint that stands up to cleaning solutions?
"My client had no idea the gun was loaded," he said. "They're not ruthless people."
lol yeah they are stupid people. "I didn't know it was loaded!" yeah that makes it all better.
jebus tap dancing christ.
SAFE Act is needed more than ever? yes, the mass shooter is going to realize that the 30 round mag has is illegal and go swap it out for a 10 mag. god these comments seriously irritate the crap out of me.
that's what trolls do. everyone is wrong except the troll, declare they are above it all after arguing for pages and pages, claim victory and claim they are leaving, only to come back page after page to argue.
