  1. Have you not realized yet that, if Amazon had her way, we would abolish police and allow anarchy to run rampant? HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  2. I built a .50 about 35 years ago. It was a CVA kit. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  3. Most small businesses do fail. I've started six businesses. Luckily the first one was very successful, as was the fourth. The rest were failures, especially the last. Lost my ass on that one .

  4. I thought I'd heard them all but that one is new. Congrats!
  5. I did... and did fairly well BUT eventually I got sick and tired trying to get scumbag small business owners to actually pay for the goods and services they recivedthat they owed for without having to head to court. I rarely had that problem and, when I did, we were always able to work it out without me having to use the courts.

  7. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now that is some funny shit. Are you really incapable of seeing reality??? REALLY???? Nope. Show me the reality I asked you to show, not just supposition. Prove that you and those like you do not control the courts... right from the moment judges are "annointed" by the bought and paid for politicians. THe "judges" on the supreme court who were bought and paid for and "annoited" by Saint Ronnie and King George The First made sure that King George the Second came to power. That worked out so so well for the country... even daddy knew he was the idiot son Those with money... do not suffer the same depredations of the legal system as do those in the prisoner class that the corporate legal system is making a killing on in this country. Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed we were talking about the USA. I see you are talking about some imaginary land far, far away. You really should take some of all that money you inherited... and try to buy a clue. IT would also help to get your "news" from something other than FAUX News... the mouthpiece of the New World Order. Sorry to disappoint you yet again, but my inheritence, what there after the government got their hands on it, was actually from a business my father and I built up from nothing. What I enjoy today is all from my own labor, both with my father and on my own. You should try it sometime. But then, I don't get the impression you would get along well without the security of drawing a predictable and reliable paycheck.

  8. Oh, and gasoline. It would not be my fuel of choice. I would opt for alcohol. Easy to make and far more uses than gasoline. Edit to add: Black powder and alcohol. Hmmm...sounds familiar. Maybe those hillbilly bootleggers knew something we don't.

  9. Proper knowledge only gets you so far. You also need to raw materials the the energy to run the machinery. Just making something as seemingly simply as smokeless gunpowder requires a fairly extensive and interconnected web of technologies. Would somebody eventually make it? Sure. No doubt. It also depends on what we mean by post-apocalypse and just how far civilization has collapsed, but in almost every scenario I can think of it's winds up being something that really wasn't an apocalypse or . . . we really do sort of revert to the Middle-ages and have to rebuild from there with only a marginal head start because of our previous knowledge. We might have the knowledge in book form, but certainly not the skilled humans or modern technology to recreate it. We don't even get to revert to steam . . . most of that knowledge is lost. Smokeless powder would be a luxory. But black powder would suffice, is easy to make ( I made it from raw earth materials in junior high), and also is a servicable explosive, unlike smokeless powders. In a post-apocalyptic society, we would only need to reverse engineer technology. That is far easier than not even knowing something is possible to begin with. Take electricity for example. Before it became widespread and accepted, it was viewed as some sort of black magic. Very few understood it at all. Today most people know he very basics, a very large percentage know a lot, and people who can design a complete system from generation to light bulbs, motors, and controls are everywhere.

  12. I got a message from another member this morning questioning why I would be in a (apparently) heated debate with Amazon in one thread and then suggest a gun cleaning method to her in another. Really??? C'mon, people, this is an internet forum. DO NOT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY!!!! If you feel you cannot handle the rhetoric here without holding an actual grudge against people then you really should not be participating in these discussions.

  13. If one were planning for the end of times and expecting it to last decades, you'd have to take a multi-tier approach. Black powder is awkward for multi shot engagements, but works "great" for hunting or against those with knives. But you can carry and ration your supply of manufactured ammo and use only when you have to. My dad met a fella back in the mid '80s in a gun store in Colorado. The guy told my dad that he had bought a Swedish Mauser after WWII and a case of ammo. He had used the last of the ammo and was ordering some more to replenish his stock. He had raised his family and taught them all to shoot with that single rifle. I imagine it also taught them the value of thrift!

  14. Look up "standing." And then "civil disobedience." That document says that people have the right to assemble to exercise their right to speech. It also says that they're innocent until proven guilty, and the government must give due process before punishment. More simply put, cops don't get to enact punishment because they think a crime may be being committed. Frankly, this incident is now reminding me of the finger in the chili at Wendy's incident, but that doesn't change the above. Once again, courts have held that the rights to assemble and free speach have limits. Yeah...in this country in this day and time of bought and paid for courts and politicians, it becomes limited when it inconvieniences any of the 1% as evidenced by your posts Time and again you claim the courts are owned by the rich, yet you provide absolutely no evidence other than your own opinion. Care to give it another try?

  16. Darwin was, once again, proven correct that day. Had it not been for Custer's enormous ego, it might have had a different out-come. Question; Why, when the Native People 'won' a battle with the Whites, it was a massacre? When the Whites 'won', it was a victory? Chuck Propaganda, nothing more.

  17. Yes. Google "Ferguson Rifle". HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  18. For cleaning BPCR's, try Ballistol. www.ballistol.com/ The more you use it, the easier and quicker cleaning becomes. I used it to clean my Shiloh Sharps and after just 3-4 cleaning sessions the time spend went from 15 minutes to less than 5. Great stuff for cleaning guns, preserving leather, etc. and it kills bugs too!

  19. As a junior high science fair project I made black powder the same way it was made 150 years ago. Too bad the prudes wouldn't let me demonstrate it's use in the gymnasium. Probably a good thing.

  21. Semantics: You are comparing apples to oranges. Rough estimates say that more than 100 billion humans have died on earth. You cannot refute that by saying current world population is 7 billion. Yes, I know. I was merely pointing out the likely source of his number.

  22. Show me where in the Constitution it prohibits you from joining the 1%. Show me any law in the US that prohibits you from joing the 1%. The only thoing stopping you is...now get this....YOU!

  23. Well damn, first you're talking about fault and liability, now you're talking common sense. How's a guy to keep up? In our little scenario with the cook, if you get scalded it would be your own damn fault. The cook shares the liability since you were both in the wrong, and common sense would have told you to just leave when he told you to instead of pushing the situation. Want another analogy? Ok. You may have the right of way at a cross walk with the "Walk" sign lit, but you are still dead, dead, dead when you ignore the bus running a red light and step out in front of it. Or, if you go to a protest that is turning violent and refuse to obey an order to disperse (legal order or not) and end up getting hurt....it's your own damn fault.

  24. So at what point is it applicable for "THE POLICE" to pull a "lawful order" out of their ass??? To hear you and yours... its anytime they want to exercise police powers and be damn to those rights of citizens guaranteed. Then again.. I guess those rights only apply to you in the all hallowed 1% since you are special. To read your posts one would get the impression that you, and others, feel you should be able to do what you want, when you want, where you want. Sorry, honey, that dog don't hunt. This ain't no anarchy. So you really do not believe in that whole Land of the free thing do you... Lets just scrap that piece of 200+ year old trash.. and have a new one written...of the 1% for the 1% by the 1% Shall we all kiss some 1% asses now in adulation or will their proxy force of thugs do. Ok, so now your opinion outweighs that of the courts whose duty it is to interpret the Constitution? Why don't we just scrap the whole 200+ year old document and everybody just do whatever they want. yeah, that'll work.
