That was exactly what I was planning to do, but couldn't find the 995 anywhere. So, I converted my CZ Scorpion to this:

Indirectly, I've seen a bunch that were technical underwater right after purchase. I track many houses sold in my neighborhood, and over the last few years, many have bought with 3.5% down FHA loans. They're technically underwater the day they move in, and don't build any equity the first several years, due to front loaded interest. So, it doesn't take much for these people to walk away and "jingle mail" their keys back, if they hit a speed bump with their finances, since they never had any real skin in the game.

I'd be interested to see how many can actually qualify, based on their personal situation. My neighbor sold his house in the Summer. His first 3 deals fell apart because the buyers couldn't get a final mortgage commitment. Another thing many aren't talking about is the landlords. With like 40% of the country renting, how many landlords will get foreclosed on, because their renters aren't paying them, and they can't pay the mortgages/costs on their buildings?

Correct. It's very high, but not being reported on. Foreclosures and evictions were put on a moratorium through the end of December, That all comes to an end, and Jan. 1st, evictions and foreclosure activity ramp up big time. Measuring mortgage applications means nothing. There are TONS of renters moving out of the big cities into the country, to get away from the crazy. Inventory is extremely low, since so many people can't afford to move, due to their financial situation. If you look at different economic data, in NJ, 31% of small businesses have permanently closed. Nationwide there are still 21 million collecting some type of unemployment payments, when this time last year, it was 1.5 million. And this is before all the other shutdowns and business closures.. How many of those people are still paying their rents or mortgages? How many parents had to cut back or quit their jobs to stay home and home school their kids? Here's the jobs hiring data that came out today. Hiring is slowing way down. 440K was the prediction, came in at 307K. ...."A report issued this month from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) and the University of Arizona estimates that 6.7 million households could be evicted in the coming months. That amounts to 19 million people potentially losing their homes, rivaling the dislocation that foreclosures caused after the subprime housing bust. The number of Americans struggling to pay rent has steadily risen since this summer, according to the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey. In the latest survey, from early November, 11.6 million people indicated they wouldn't be able to pay the rent or mortgage next month. Meanwhile, some renters who are still paying rent are relying on "unsustainable" income to make ends meet. Among those who report trouble making rent, "More than half are borrowing from family and friends to meet their spending needs, one-third are using credit cards, and one-third are spending down savings," the NLIHC report found. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eviction-19-million-americans-risk-moratorium-coronavirus/

My first cruiser was a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback like this one below. 302 with a Edelbrock high rise manifold, Holley 4 barrel, Hooker headers and Cherry bombs. Man, that sucker was loud... Ha... I remember the same thing.., I think gas was a round 0.40 cents a gallon back then. Couldn't pass a station without stopping.. Also remember smoking off a set of 60 Series tires every 5000 miles.. Those were the days...

That was my opinion when I was looking for one. I ended up with a Beretta CX4 Storm instead. But many people have said the 995 is very reliable. I love my pistol caliber carbines more than my AR15s. Went looking for a 995 recently, to do a Bullpup conversion with it, but they were out of stock everywhere. So, I ended up doing a bullpup conversion with the 9mm CZ Scorpion EVO that I had.

Exactly... because we've never had "questionable" sign ups before, right? https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/search/&type=core_members&joinedDate=week&group[3]=1 Oh, wait...

Hmmm, he's back, but only signed up new one hour ago?

And you didn't share it with us? Boo.....

So, how many of you guys feel like this right now?

Hope that everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving, and you can spend time with your families without worrying that the Covid police will come take you away.

There's more ways than a bridge:

It's time to look at what he's going to prop up. The New Green Deal, free healthcare and services for illegals, free college, etc. He's going to print money like a drunken sailor. Try and guess where it's going to go, and you'll be RICH!!!!!!

That's what I suspect, too. The kid was 22 and was there with his buddies. Who knows how they were acting, but this the prime time Call of Duty and gamer crew. I'll guess they were mixing fantasy with reality.

It's been an interesting year. I have a few annuities up 22% for the year, totally unexpected. I have a custom pet product ETF I built where the stocks are up anywhere from 24% to 128% for the year. I knew that would be a winner, I should have dumped more in it. I have a biotech (your field) up 43%. Even my consumer discretionary ETF is up 41%. That's nuts. When the economy started to roll over last Fall, I played it safe with a chunk of change. Who knew they would print multiple TRILLIONS this year to prop up the market? Missed even more opportunities. Crazy times.

In reality, how often do these tragic situations happen? How many people float through the ranges every week/month/year and then we get one of these incidences? I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often. Or, surprised some young kid does go all "Call of Duty" and fire down the line at all the other patrons.

And just like that - BOOM - DOW hits 30,000. Mission Accomplished? For the first time ever, The Dow Jones Industrial Average has reached 30,000 (and all it took was $14 trillion in global liquidity)... Because, it's not the economy, stupid!! It's The Fed and their global central planning pals!!

Why, are they serving free food? Yeah, but they're so short-sighted, the kids will just BYOB and pick a different place to meet up.

Wolf pushing his power again. How much more will they take? Pennsylvania Governor Bans Alcohol Sales On The Day Before Thanksgiving ....."Bars and restaurants should stop selling alcohol starting at 1700ET on Wednesday until 0800ET Thanksgiving morning. Since Thanksgiving is typically "the biggest day for drinking", the governor hopes the mandate could help slow the spread of the virus. Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is tapping into his state's Quaker roots to deliver an economy-sized dose of Thanksgiving disappointment. In an effort to avert a coronavirus-inspired lockdown, the governor said Monday that he would ban alcohol sales in the state on the day before Thanksgiving via executive order. The ban on alcohol sales follows orders to limit holiday gatherings to members of one's immediate family or household. The governor warned that all of these restrictions would help the state avoid "greater strain" on its health-care system, which is more vulnerable in rural parts of the vast Keystone state. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pennsylvania-governor-bans-alcohol-sales-day-thanksgiving

The thing is, rational, sane people are trying to justify these actions. When someone is mentally ill, it's almost impossible for a rational person to understand or justify. We can speculate all we want, but unless someone knows EXACTLY what was going on in his head and what his personal demons are, all we are doing is making a judgemental call, with zero facts. Substance abuse, overdoses and suicides are WAY up since all these lockdowns have been implemented.

Sadly, this is the truth. If someone wants to commit suicide, there's not much you can do to stop them. Remember, firearms are only used in 50% of attempts. There's many other options/methods. This incident will just be used again to try and show an inanimate object (the gun) is the main issue.

This is the automatic vacuum that I like:
