Didn't he turn 120 today, isn't today his birthday?

Ha... I was going to say that last night, but didn't want to get blackballed. Did it ever have meat in it originally? Asking for a friend...

How about this? BATFE Leadership Push Biden to Target Pistol Stabilizing Braces and Unfinished Receivers Just in case anyone needed further proof that much of the federal bureaucracy is more interested in serving themselves and left-wing political interests than public service, news broke this week that rogue elements of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) have been conspiring with Joe Biden’s transition team to enact gun control by executive fiat. At the top of these anti-gun government functionaries’ wish list is executive regulation of commonly-owned pistol stabilizing braces and materials used by individuals to make their own firearms –sometimes referred to as unfinished or “80%”frames or receivers. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20201116/batfe-leadership-push-biden-to-target-pistol-stabilizing-braces-and-unfinished-receivers?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ila_alert

I put in for 3 yesterday, both references came back last night. So, now I'll see how long things are running in my town. I was the first one to test the FARS system in town last year when they first implemented it, and it took them a while to figure out the software.

Man... aren't you guys good Boy Scouts and preppers?

It's because they didn't see the post yet on Facebook to stock up... sheep...

That's a TON of hardware!!!! An interim 2019 estimate showed a total of 6 million total firearms were produced in the United States. Of those, 3.6 million were pistols and revolvers, 2 million were rifles and 480,000 were shotguns. Those are interim figures that will be updated when complete reports become available from the ATF. In 2019, there were approximately 3.3 million firearms imported into the United States which included 2.3 million pistols and revolvers, 301,000 rifles and 678,000 shotguns. From 1991 to 2019, nearly 214 million firearms have been made available to the U.S. market. According to reports such as: ATF Firearms Commerce in the United States, ATF AFMER and Congressional Research Service data, there are an estimated 434 million firearms in civilian possession in the United States.

I tried a homemade vinegar mixture that wifey saw somewhere. It was white vinegar, Dawn and salt. She wanted me to try it in a area that the dog frequents. That mixture, on weeds and grass, worked quicker and better than Roundup.

ahhhh, these were the days: How about this: Or this:

Sure... from the article: ...."Gun owners are not more suicidal than people who don’t own guns, but attempts with guns are more likely to be fatal. Now, nearly a year after the coronavirus pandemic began, unleashing a tide of economic dislocation and despair, experts are bracing for a rise in suicides." Gun sales have risen steadily since March, and as shutdowns aimed at containing the virus have disrupted lives and led to social isolation, studies have shown an increase in anxiety and suicidal ideation. “So many people are struggling right now,” said Jennifer Stuber, an associate professor of social work who helped found the University of Washington’s Forefront Suicide Prevention center. “The indicators are that a perfect storm is about to hit.” So, Democrat governors are MORE responsible for suicides, due to their lock downs, than inanimate objects. Plus, let's look at the stats, firearms are only used in half of suicide attempts. But, since the article link is from the NYT, why am I not surprised it's making gun owners the villains..... again?

Is it possible to get through the chain link with a long blade on a sawzall, and cut through the stem close to the ground? Or, a long handle saw like this. I have one that I use for branch trimming, it should cut through that stem.

You mean time wise? Suppose to be an hour, we usually "stretch it out" a bit more.

Me neither, although my UPS driver keeps leaving me a invoice for his hernia repair...

I've done my part for the next generation. I've made sure to take my two sons (and son-in-law) to the range and get them proficient in shooting. Plus, they both have their FID cards and have started to "collect". Youngest son is in the final stages of being hired by Customs and Border Protection. We'll be well protected in this family!

Wear your long underwear. Predicted to be 33 degrees with the wind chill.

If it looks like Trump's not going to be successful with his overturn of the election, seeing prices DOUBLE from this point, isn't out of reach, I would guess.

Ha... I'm right there with you... Maybe even make it a deal, at $199.

I totally agree. But for every business that is successful in their lawsuit, there are 100 others that don't have the resources to fight, and they just go out of business, and go away. The .Gov has a ton of lawyers, and they can run out the clock, and small business doesn't stand a chance. https://www.njherald.com/story/news/sussex/2020/11/03/sussex-county-judge-transfers-nj-gym-owners-lawsuit-appeals-court/6126602002/ Heck, I expect Murphy in our state to do draconian lockdowns again. Hardly anyone sued him the first go around, so he thinks he can act with impunity. I don't know about your town, but I see tons of vacant stores closed up the past 5 months, where businesses had operated the 7 years I've been here. I doubt very few, if any, sued the state/Murphy for losing their business.

I think one example, the recent Covid forced shutdowns and closures to small businesses by Dem governors would disagree with that point. Wouldn't it depend on IF the SC takes the case? Recently, they've punted on all 2A cases, and refuse to argue them. I certainly wouldn't put it past a President Biden, oops Harris, to use a EO to shut down gun businesses. By the time the cases got to a Federal judge or the SC, the businesses would already be DOA. Mission Accomplished.

Executive Order. Or, if he gets a Dem Senate, it will be a walk in the park.

Yeah, but there were a lot of better black women to choose from in the country, besides the bottom of the barrel in the Presidential campaign. If it was just because of race, you pick the one who couldn't even carry her home state, and the one that many hate more than Hillary? Makes no sense.

He said "budget friendly" and "general observation". My guess, $600+ (like in your link) wouldn't fit that bill. It would be nice if he posted an actual budge amount. Without that, we're all just guessing.

You mean like dying from Covid?
