Throttle response pre spool would be nice with the ITBs. I would agree that it's a waste of money and time when that same effect can be had elsewhere. I was simply responding that it IS still doable.

"They spray painted the building’s north wall, which was designed to withstand the impact of aircraft" - They penetrated fences and NOT the building. I'm unimpressed. And what did they accomplish? They got that old man security gaurd screwed over before his retirement. "The gift to us is that terrorists are insufficiently creative and lack true state sponsorship" Please fill us in on your extensive experience with terrorists ... "With those 20 minutes of uninterrupted access to the site, [terrorists] could have blown through the doors or walls of the HEUMF with an explosively formed penetrator and rigged an improvised nuclear device" This idea is based on what exactly? The author knows the design and layout? Even though he earlier states the the building "was designed to withstand the impact of aircraft" Some great material you find. Grade A. Top notch conjecture for sure ...

And? ITB contained within a high flow plenum works fine :-)

His example comes from hollywood ... I hope this is another inside joke ...

I'll certainly admit I'm unable to grasp inside jokes that I'm not on the inside of however, Anyways, Obama has stated he's looking to create a fresh round of executive orders to get more people on the no-go lists for background checks. Right or wring it's the progression of things.

You remind me of CNN ...

"Wait, you mean I can't go buy an AK-47 at the gun show this Saturday without a FOID or a background check?" Only AKs you'd be buying would be semi auto. It's implied within your own statement.

A semi automatic AK-47 ? You runderstanding of firearms is either extremely limited or you just can't stand the fact that two things that look the same aren't. By this logic all Fieros with a rebody MUST be EXACTLY the same as a real Lambo ...

Well, the lawless care not for laws. That will never change.

Ahh, thank you. I wasn't aware.

The term "Gun Show Loophole" is misleading, as private firearm sellers are not required to perform background checks regardless of location—whether they are at a gun show, a flea market, their home, or anywhere else. Presently, 18 states regulate private firearm sales at gun shows. Seven states require background checks on all gun sales at gun shows (California, Colorado (§12-26.1-101 and § 24-33.5-424, CRS), Rhode Island, Connecticut, Oregon, New York, and Illinois). Four states (Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) require background checks on all handgun, but not long gun, purchasers at gun shows. Seven states require individuals to obtain a permit to purchase handguns that involves a background check (Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota). Certain counties in Florida require background checks on all private sales of handguns at gun shows. Furthermore, ALL online sales are legally required to ship to a certified FFL who will conduct the background check before turning over the firearm to you. Also, you can buy a SEMI automatic AK-47 without much trouble. This is NOT an assualt rifle however. Go wherever you like and try to buy a real assault rifle with full auto and/or select fire. It's not the way you appear to think it is.

I'm sick of explaining it to people. They simply accept whatever CNN throws in their faces.

Perhaps we should make a thread suggesting different firearms for those looking to buy some new toys. I picked up a Beretta CX4 Storm (9mm) for cheap recently. I figured a pistol caliber carbine would be a good platform to get Sarah away from the 10/22. I'm extremely happy with the gun. Threw it into the shoulder and riped off a quick mag just to see and shot a quarter at 50m without trying. A little heavy but it balances nicely when it's in firing position. Quality 18 and 20 rnd mags available. Integrated rail which allows you to cowitness with a reddot. I'd highly recommend it if you can find one at a good price (might be a little hard at the moment).

breast ...

... I'd rock it in a heartbeat ...

Damn, I spent so much time rocking oldschool methods with a lot of guesswork I never even thought they would be widely available today ... I guess I know for my next project ... :-/

I could have used one on my old datsun ... Where are you finding em?

You are exactly right that there was A legally armed civilian on scene. Meaning that he had no support and could only have one line of sight. Multiply that by two dozen lines of fire and the likelyhood of a succesful interdiction rises (albiet that the likelyhood of an accident does as well but it's no different than combat). Here's a quote I picked up from an article this morning: "Civility is not a legal thing, it is a social thing. One might pass all the hate-speech laws they wish, it does not change the heart wherein lies the hate. The speech one uses is a reflection of the inner self and to pass laws against speech is to pass laws against emotion, against expression, against the privacy of one’s skull. To pass laws against possession of guns will not stop violence, it will not stop possession, it will only escalate the encounter between police and otherwise law-abiding citizens. It will indeed make outlaws of those who possess guns. These laws are laws passed by a government estranged from the people; a government peering down at the masses concerned mostly with control of those masses, not working in conjunction with the people to find that elusive, necessary balance between liberty and security. These laws show a disrespect for the people; a contempt for them and rightfully so. The people have lacked any significant education over the past several decades where social engineering has replaced the purpose of educators and indoctrination the purpose of the schools. Why should the government view the people as capable of anything other than following orders?"

Gabrielle Giffords - She was shot here in Arizona by a nutjob. Now she advocates for universal backround checks. Despite the fact that the man who shot her bought the gun from a local gun shop and DID get his backround check done at the time (about a month earlier if I remember correctly). This is the liberal logic of the anti-gun crowd. Universal checks would not have stopped the guy obviously. Now, the guy shot 19 people (killing six) during the incident. I can't help but think that a trained and armed vet like myself or Pops would have stopped him. Yes, he would have still shot her (bad people do bad things) but he wouldn't have hit that many other people. The mainstream media has umpteen opportunities to report on the myriad of cases where gunmen are stopped by a responsibly armed citizen. They simply choose not to report on such activity even though it FAR outweighs the number of mass shootings.

Without full auto with a typical cyclic rate this isn't possible. Bump fire for a semi auto is as fast as it gets and while it will achieve that rate it does not explain increased rate once you consider other factors. 5 minutes of action does not mean 5 minutes of sustained fire. Time to move between room and time to reload for a single shooter would shave off 40% when moving through a building like a school. It is simply not possible for one to rip off 155 rounds in <3 minutes in a semi auto. Well, if you were concentrating on JUST fast fire then MAYBE. However, he was an untrained kid and did not solely use the AR (or didn't use it at all in reality). There's more lies coming out of that story than the supposed "155 rounds" Bottom line, opinions are skewed when I&#39;m dumb stats like that are thrown out into the general public.

Burn-E has got it. The idea is that when the scalpel fails the last resort is surgery with a chainsaw. The benefit is that it raises public awareness of just how much fat is left to be trimmed and how badly it needs to be cut.

I simply thought it was an interesting look at things. While I also shy away from people like the author it doesn't mean they are wrong. I read and then formulate my own ideas based on the article and background info on the topics. Yeah, that site is pretty bad. Even worse when browsing on a phone and accidentally click an ad ... lol

An interesting read - http://www.fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/an-orwellian-america/38383/

The entire market is one massive bubble at the moment. There isn't a framework to support such numbers. Pumping in inflated money will only worsen the "pop" when it comes. Precious metals are dropping which isn't a good sign. World demand is at an all time high but the market is responding backwards. Basically, proof of a market bubble. If you're banking on a HUGE drop then now is the time to setup for it. Should come down the pipeline by this summer. My concern is that the pop will be big enough to cause some true damage that we can't recover from. It's going to be harsh either way.
