guns! for mexi

in honor of my my friend, meximartini, i'm resurrecting his gun topic. he had a number of questions posed to us cc'ers for information about firearms. it was locked due to personal attacks, and i admit i was not productive in regards to his queries.

to move past that, i am going to play judge and jury so staff does not need to get involved (read: deletions or locked). people going out of bounds will be subject to, as hash puts it, 30 days in the hole. 

unclepeet, be nice. don't call anyone a dummy or moron.

kylo, be nice. don't talk about people voting 25 times.

gomer...well, you're always nice. nevermind. 

mexi, have at it!

Judge and Jury...hahahahaa gotta love it.  Thanks man.   Kudos.   

SHE is happy 

so is she...

she is just waving hi.

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

i should also say that, since this is a continuation, we might see flying pigs or dancing elephants occasionally. 

if things get too far out of hand, we might even see motorboat dude show up.

im confused

I’ll just stay out I’ve already ruined one topic I can’t trust myself…

Sorry but I can't help myself.

Sometimes I don't feel like being nice. That's when I try hardest to keep my yap shut.

I'll talk guns all day but I doubt very much I'll join a 2nd Amendment/gun rights discussion. I think everyone knows my position by now (I'm for them) and I may expand on it but I don't have any special urge to defend it. I've never seen anyone ever change their minds during one of those discussions so I don't bother trying anymore. It is what it is and I yam what I yam.

Hey, I liked that pig. I became enchanted with the idea and spent considerable effort in choosing that one.

Gun rights discussions are a long road to nowhere. Mostly because the people that enjoy debating it have no clue what they’re talking about (with the exception of folks like Gomer and possibly batgirl since she at least listens and is a good communicator). But if by some miracle a certain few people can refrain from their stupidity this might actually become an interesting thread.

Besides, Mexi’s thread was more about gunsmithing; not rights debates. It was his thread, he could have moderated it if he wanted but chose to let the arguing and bickering go on and on. I guess that’s fun for certain types of people.

Yea I didn’t mind it. That’s what happens on a topic where people have strong opinions about it. There were times when I stepped in a bit and attempted to cool the thread down and I felt it sort of worked? I just never felt the need to block.
Mods let it run its course and I do appreciate that. Still sucks it got locked but Whateva. There’s this thread!

Also, I’m getting that S&W today. Last purchase of 2021 will be that. Boooyah.

You ever wonder where they go? I always have. Also, how cool would it be if there was a mini micro camera somehow attached to the bullet and we could watch its journey. (Safely). It could happen.

Ps. If someone steals this idea, all I ask is ten percent. I take Venmo, Cash App, Pay-pal, or straight hard cash. After all, Cash is King.

Well go ahead and load up that Mauser and have fun  !!!

lol

i love getting waisted. its really hard to detach your waist, spin the waist in the air and put it back on

 

Ok since we are in the subject of ‘where to bullets go’ I’ll give one story that some people here who know me ‘in real life’ have heard a hundred times.

I used to live in a pretty crazy area, I’ve mentioned. One of the most wild parts was Brentwood Rd and 1st ave there’s a lot of chicken joints there and fast food and the train station too just a lot of action always a basketball court people hanging out very busy and can be trouble.

Well I was there playing basketball and we were going to get some chicken and were walking when BAM someone punched me in the arm HARD.

Im a fighter, I’ve boxed I’ve kickboxer I had 3 MMA fights in 2000/2001 I know what getting hit is like and this was like a crazy.

I look down and my bicep in pulverized. Blood, people start scattering, I’m just staring….

It turns out I got shot in the left bicep by a 22(thank god). It came from so far away that nobody even heard it go off(I def wasn’t the target probably some idiot shooting off for fun on the next block or something. The bullet didn’t break the bone.

The worst part? My wife had to sew it up with no pain meds.

This was a wild area and if you go to the hospital you MUST talk to the police if you got shot. It’s a 100% they will call them. This is an MS13 area and if the wrong person sees you talking to the cops especially after something like that and they blame you then you can be in trouble man.

So now for this little stray bullet that probably would have left a small scar I have this enormous blob of scar on my left bicep likeI took a machine gun round in Afghanistan thanks to my wife’s sewing skills.

Long story but talking about where do Buckley’s go after you fire them….sometimes they go somewhere we didn’t intent

ouch!

i was reminded of this. i posted this spoof in some other gun discussion. everyone knows my stance, and whether you agree or not, i think you'll still find it amusing.

Flamethrower:

I can't wait to get my flamethrower! It's what i need, I tell 'ya, to protect myself and my family!
Maybe i should start a militia of other flamethrower owners? You know, for when the government comes for them! I could start the NFA (National Flamethrower Association) to make sure every law abiding citizen (and even some that are not) are allowed to buy flamethrowers! Millions of uneducated will agree and send money to my tax exempt non profit organization. Our motto, "you can take my flamethrower from my dead, burned hand" will resonate with millions. 
As lead organizer, I of course, will be deserving of a seven figure salary, as I will have not only founded the group, but also created worthwhile jobs in our monthly magazine, "Fire! Now!". The only magazine dedicated to those willing to stand up for their rights to own and bear flamethrowers, and, create the fear of the government taking our flamethrowers so that they will give me (oops, I meant us!) more money.
We will have regular meetings, scaring everyone into thinking these flamethrowers are going to be confiscated by the government, and get them to contribute enough money to our cause where we could start a lobby. That will be great! These wimps, err, representatives, will be beholden to us. 
And, for all that have already joined NFA, it is why your contributions matter. Programming like this is funded by your contributions (yes, I ripped that off from PBS, but they have no copyright! And, if you are buying a flamethrower, you probably never heard of PBS!)
Then, we sell flamethrowers to anyone with cash (just like Jamie buys her ammunition-no record). We target areas in the south for flamethrower shows, where attendees can test out different types of flamethrowers by shooting flames at effigies of whatever "lefty" politician has been speaking out against them (and, some rino's, too!). It's quite easy to do, as these shows fall under a category where it is not a business where any background check is required. Cash sales. No taxes. No regulation. 
"Hi, my name is Johnny and I (spitting tobacco) love this sh*t. can I get one?"
"Sure. But let me show you this new ultra sonic flamethrower.  Goes twenty feet past any other here. You just need to put a little more fuel in-you do know what fuel is, right?"
"Is that what granpa puts in the mower?"
"Not exactly, but,  you are qualified to own a flamethrower!" 
More sales! Of course, NFA will help sponsor some of these shows, and that is why we need your contribution. 
At this point, I expect to have influence with weak politicians that would love any notoriety speaking on  Fox "news", Limbaugh, and Alex Jones,  since the NFA is financing their next campaign. as the founder of NFA, I have a scheduled interview on Limbaugh next week, but we have been told we may be bumped if they can get the dog that can bark, "Hillary is guilty".
There are no laws against flamethrowers in schools , public places, or even government buildings, but that is near. While the NFA helps fund the idio.... whoops!  while the NFA helps fund our honored representatives, there must be places where these tools (flamethrowers, not pols) are allowed, and we believe that flamethrowers should be allowed in all public spaces, except only specific areas where our government is working to help protect our constitutional rights, no matter how out of touch some may be! Really, laws, or, "gasp", amendments telling me what type of flamethrower one can own? The right to bear arms is very clear. It includes flamethrowers! For gosh sakes, flamethrowers will rid our country of violence! 
Folks, the NFA will need your contributions to make sure our representatives do not vote for any regulations on them, and, I'm sure all would agree. Flamethrowers are not just for self defense, but also for cooking. Think of your next pig roast. Grill not working? Flamethrower to the rescue! party patrons fed and happy.
So, to be clear, flamethrowers will be allowed in all schools, and teachers must also carry them. College campuses are a must. A place where assaults regularly occur. A flamethrower in everyone's hands levels the playing field. Think about it. If you were in college, wouldn't you want everyone to have a flamethrower? Me too! It is quite a cozy feeling knowing everyone around you is armed, right? Do not concern yourselves with how some college students get wasted and do crazy stuff. because you will have a flamethrower also!  Welcome all those willing to join NFA and stand up for our rights to freedom, where we can bring our flamethrower into any restaurant, bar, library, public place, to show that freedom is still alive in America!

….not to be confrontational but you are allowed to buy a flamethrower here.

You are even allowed to convert it to shoot napalm.

No I’m not joking.
