This is going to be wild, walked back very quickly, or includes large exceptions to the point it’s not really a big deal/he gets what he wants. The FAA right now:

To go more macro, there are cities with more deportations than Minne, but none of the Minne BS going on. Why is that? Well, it’s because these aren’t grassroots protests. This isn’t normal Americans who just really love illegal aliens. This is a calculated insurgency-style operation that is well organized, equipped, and funded. There are big actors behind this with the ultimate goal of delegitimizing the gov and hoping to instill increased support for communist/marxist values. The agitators are useful idiots. They’re petulant children who didn’t get their way in the election, and despite a vast majority of Americans demanding deportations and voting for it in Nov 24, these people don’t care. The left either gets their president/policies, or they’ll hold cities hostage via riot and unrest until they get what they want…or hopefully for all of us reasonable people, they get what they deserve this time around (held accountable for breaking the law). On the ICE actions front, I’ll say this: I’m always skeptical of the fed gov and our rights - I am far from a “worship the gov” guy. But I also know what it’s like to be in situations where you have milliseconds to make life/death decisions. So while there are issues and bad apples in any organization, including ICE, I also have to say a big GO FUCK YOURSELF to every douche bag out there who hasn’t been in a situation like mentioned above and has the luxury of freeze framing videos from multiple angles over and over.

Have a friend who says he shot a cat with a 5.7 incendiary round, burned for 10”. I’m intrigued…

That’s pretty much my breakfast today, except two more eggs, a bit less bacon, and none of that creamer shit n my coffee. And yes, there was a couple pistols on the island!

I saw more stars with his slap than closed-fist punches I’ve taken. Don’t piss off Spartac!

If Spartac’s guns are as effective as I remember his open-hand slap, I’m in.

I now have the 10mm (hardcast lead) for the back country pistol - know two guys who escaped griz death using those. Good enough for me. My father in law shot a charging black with a 5.56. Way less than ideal cartridge, but it was enough to stop the attack. So a 9mm with Barnes should do just fine!

I also am 300BO in the house, 5.56 in the truck gun. A few pistols and a 45-70 (mostly for immediate predator issues) are also around the house. Big “2” on the mag marking between calibers. I use the rubber bands personally. Saw a guy put 300BO in a 223…ouch.

That is infuriating. I despise our acquisitions system even more now, which is a pretty large feat at this point.

That’s key right there. Regardless of caliber or gun, if the purpose is to kill, never cheap out on ammo. And I will also never rely on reloads for self-defense.

My scorpion is what I want to put a FRT on, though I haven’t seen one for it yet. If I’m going to waste a shitload of ammo, might as well be 9mm. Specific load, springs, and if a gas gun, then also gas system length and gas block settings, all factor into functional reliability. If you’re talking your MP5 (not a gas gun), then I’m guessing it’ll work great with subs, but wouldn’t be crazy that you may have to try a few different loads to find one that works well. This is a good reason to reload - fine tune your ammo to exactly what a specific gun likes. Trust me, just take a trip down that rabbit hole!

I think it was 2013 or so I first flew with the Aussie E-7. 13 years later and here we are. Screwed indeed.

If you’re looking for a smile-inducing range toy, consider a scorpion evo. I have a SBR’d one with only minor upgrades from factory, shoot 147gr subs out of it, suppressed…obviously. It is a shitload of fun, relatively cheap, and the primary gun every friend/kid I have over to shoot wants to come back to. Seriously, they shoot a $2.5K AR and then ask if they can shoot the scorpion again, ha! Seriously consider it and save a lot of money over buying a true MP5 for the same end result.

Sub rounds for the win…

You got two arms and two hands, right? Both at the same time, obviously!

The funny thing is every tail flash and litho I have is somewhere in the crawlspace. The bar from Korea 16 years ago though, that shit is non-negotiable!

What does this have to do with global warming?

Th good thing is you don’t have to! Both is the only right answer!

Most doctors are very “script-driven,” hence my comment on lack of critical thought. Makes sense some of it is insurance/pharma-mandated, but from what I’ve read/heard, medical schools by and large teach a “follow the decision tree” methodology and allow for very little “free thinking/creative problem solving.” So we end up with doctors who are book smart and don’t attempt to go outside the “decision trees,” costing lives and unnecessary pain/costs to patients. As I’ve always said about the MDG - dumbest group of “smart people” in the AF.

I also used to be paranoid about NFA registration (I still am vehemently against it), but reality is if in some crazy scenario the feds decided they needed to confiscate my NFA items, well that really sucks and is bullshit. But, that’s only a fraction of what I own, so I’m not going to be left gunless. Additionally, it’s not hard to do the paperwork and just not have any issues with the ATF. I’ve never talked to a LEO about my guns, ever, and I’ve had NFA items for many years at this point. If you’re concerned about dumb shit like shouldering (ATF dumb, not you), then just don’t do that at a public range (I have many times without issue by the way). Bottom line, NFA is unconstitutional bullshit, but it’s not a crazy process and owners of NFA items by and large have no issues in practical application.

I remember buying my first (multi-cal) thinking this’ll cover the calibers I care about, don’t need anymore suppressors. Ha, was I wrong!

I’m not really sold on the software even being improved. I’ve met too many doctors who obviously can crush academics, but in the real world are pretty retarded and lack critical thought/ability to adapt off script. The medical community is right up there with big pharma in my book of “people I don’t trust.”

Why not!? You’re missing out, big time

If you think your unit (or larger organization) is fucked without you, you have been misled. Everyone is a replaceable cog, including every single black border pipe hitter. Take pride in the good things you accomplish in your career, work hard at what matters, but don’t think for a second you’re the lynch pin that holds the whole thing together - you’re not. Operate with that mentality and you’ll be much less stressed and happier.
