Unfortunately, he won't take the hint. He knows that a further crackdown won't prevent any further atrocities, but he is well aware of it being another piece of his unchecked power.
Im still not convinced that one of these new ships will ever be constructed, much less a series of them.
I'm REALLY not convinced of their usefullness.
Ok, I'll concede your point. I was thinking NAVY ships in general. That would include carriers, submarines, fuelers, and all the rest.
I do agree with you on the class designation. Traditionally a class of ships has been named after the first keel of that series. Only after significant...
Ships are certainly not exclusively named after States, and they never have been. In fact, throughout US history, far more have been named after a person than have been named after a State. The tradition they're breaking is naming them after a SITTING president.
I still say that the future of warfare is drone and cyber. Drone warfare is far better served by smaller, fast ships. Multiple decentralized command centers make taking them out much more difficult than a giant lumbering platform with several types of armaments onboard. One or two good hits...
Not to argue, but the 1970's gave us the Ohio class ( Trident class ) submarine. Onboard, it carried 24 trident missiles, which it could deliver with impressive stealth. Submarines have improved vastly since then. So what does this new ship do that isn't already being done by a different...
President Trump has declared that America would once again build battleships. Currently, the only US battleship that has not been decomissioned is the USS ARIZONA which is underwater in Pearl Harbor.
America's NAVY is without question, the very best naval force in the world, hands down. The...
The Bills keep on winning games ( so I'm told ) and you need to jump on the bandwagon before it all comes crashing down and leaves you in mysery. Buy one now, and you'll have something to burn when the season ends and leaves you heartbroken ! $ 35. !!!!
While I agree with the intentions as you have stated them, Canada said the same thing when they started their program too.....and now, euthenasia is pushed upon nearly everyone.
As with ALL things, government ALWAYS pushes things WAAAAYYY too far.
More updates on the Canadian "buyback".....and they aint good for the politicians.
Cliffnotes version: Yukon Territories refuses to assist in any confiscation efforts, Saskatchewan passes bill forcing the Feds to pay for every confiscated gun, and the pilot program launched in Cape...
Just beware of "constructive intent". If you happen to get caught with your bolt action AR and actually get the cop to listen and understand that it IS a bolt action because of the Kali-Key, great...BUT...if you also at the time possess the original bolt carrier group, and could easily convert...
My point exactly. We already had this conversation right here on this forum, years ago.
When the ATF has a broad that puts a barrel in a vise then takes a 5 foot pipe and slips it over a wrench, then uses it to remove a pinned and welded muzzle device (destroying the barrel in the process) all...
No, "mocking you" is when they stand in the road behind you looking at you. All you can do is think to yourself "Well, at least I called them in..." then they blow you a raspberry and disappear across the ditch into the hedgerow once again. I don't know why, but one place I hunt, they...
I seriously doubt that any of the loaded ammunition, especially that branded as personal protection ammunition would fail to function in a modern autoloader. There may be an extremely small possibility that some ammunition would not be suitable , but I would have to think that it would have...
I can't believe this ! I won't believe this ! It's just not possible ! Our government officials and employees would never do anything with even a hint of impropriety, much less anything this heinous. Corruption is the one thing they are incapable of. After all, isn't that why they, the...
YOU did this. This is YOUR fault.
The fate of the monkey is sealed. But YOU can save this giraffe. It's up to YOU. You've already been shown that I'm serious. DON'T LET THIS GIRAFFE COME TO AN UNTIMELY END !
Seriously ? A tank of gas, a box of ammo and the permission slip from the State cost that much. Add batteries, new gloves because you can't find the ones you bought last year and a box of hand warmers, and you're over the "average" before even setting foot in a hedgerow.
Holy F was it cold out last night ! I ☆THOUGHT☆about going out for a while...it's barely December and most of my hunting grounds have well over a foot of snow on the ground and last night's temperatures were in the single digits.
Think I'm gonna take up drinking as an alternative hobby.
Theyre doing the exact same job. Driving deep into the vitals and creating massive tissue damage along the way.
1000 ft-lbs of energy is a lot, considering the animal. Their skin is thin, they're not particularly muscular, and they don't have an exceptionally heavy bone structure.
Aside from...
Either of the Gold Dots would do very well. So too would the Nosler offerings.
I think you're overthinking this a bit. You don't need that much weight for a clean kill on a deer at a hundred yards. 60 ~ 70gr is plenty.
That 64 gr Nosler solid base is an excellent bullet. I've loaded that...
I think most of us thought you wanted BULLETS, not AMMUNITION.
I know that Speer has loaded ammo Gold Dots in 62 and 75 gr.
Nosler has a 70gr Accubond, as well as the 64gr Bonded Solid Base - weird, it doesn't show as available as just a component anymore, but it is an excellent bullet.
Barnes...
As I remember, the deadline was set, then there was a 1 year grace period. I don't think you're able t register anything without them coming to visit you. Maybe, just maybe you could register one if you just moved here, but even then I think they would visit you and relieve you of your...
There is a trade off between velocity and weight. Heavier bullets do retain energy better, meaning they buck the wind better and penetrate further. But, they also drop more with distance. Lighter bullets fly faster and flatter, but don't penetrate as well and are affected more by a cross...
Speer Gold Dots are available in 62gr and 75gr flavors. Both acceptable for thin skinned medium game.
Nosler makes a 60gr Partition. Apparently, the 64gr Bonded Solid Base is discontinued. Too bad.
Sierra has a 64gr Tipped Gameking.
Barnes TSX, TTSX and LRX
You are correct in that match bullets are not designed to perform regarding terminal ballistics. Their only concern is in-flight ballistics. They can not be relied upon to expand upon impact.
Without doing a bit of searching, I would first suggest a Barnes solid like the TSX series. Sierra...
It would be fitting if one of those rapists released into the wild were to have their way with Hochul....but I know that won't happen, I mean, just look at a picture of that beast ! Not a chance ! The eyebrows alone would make their johnson go limp ! I won't even mention those Mr. Ed...
These politicians saw too many movies where some ex-military guy that was burned by the Gov't and just wants to be left alone, but the Fed's F with him and he becomes a one man death squad. Then he winds up shooting a helicopter out of the sky with a .50, and takes out an armored limo being...
It's not just the .50 BMG. They'll have your .50 Beowulf on that list of banned guns, and that won't be all. .500 Jeffries, .505 Gibbs, .50 AE, .500 S&W, .50-90, .50-70, Shall I continue ?
This same bill has been introduced every year for as long as I can remember. It never makes it out of...
