So today Fort Worth Texas had a police operated gun buyback program. Lol

My son went out there and bought guns before they went inside to turn them in.

Look for the Hawaiian shirt.

LMAO

the only large media entity I’ve seen touch this in the US was the WSJ. Short version 3 years ago Brazil had draconian gun control, funny enough every policy the left here wants. Purchase age 25, license see 200 + per gun, unable to carry, enhanced mental screening. What did they get? The two most dangerous cities in the world and a murder rate 5 times higher than the US.

Three years ago they ditched all the policies for the most part. 34% reduction in homicides and a drop in almost every crime category.

Brazil just shows what common sense screams, criminals will get guns no matter what the law is, and criminals really don’t like dealing with armed law abiding citizens. When they instituted the changes our media was ablaze with claims it would be bloody chaos, since the opposite happens hardly a word has been written, I even saw one article claiming the crime drop on more youth cell phones so they now have something to do other than kill people evidently.

We know this but many of our fellow citizens don’t, gun control has nothing to do with making citizens safer from the criminals and crazies, but everything to do with making a corrupt government safer from it’s citizens. I can remember when Texas years ago was about to allow concealed carry, literally every news agency nightly stated it would be a bloodbath, after crime decreased they simply didn’t mention it again.

This entire debate is nothing but the mental conditioning of America, with the Covid lockdowns being beta testing. I really believe the government knows it’s power is just a paper tiger , it’s about time we realized it too.

Back in the day when I was 12,13 years old........there was a little liquor store that around the 4th of July, sold fireworks..............this was maybe 1967, 1968.........I may be off a year or two + or -............

The liquor store was about 5 miles on the highway..........but at the time we only had bicycles ...........so we had to take mostly back roads.........but there was some highway involved. Granted this was in the mid 1960's, and on a two lane U.S. highway in the middle of no where the traffic was not a problem........

I have no idea what the legal aspect of these fireworks were at the time, but they were not "advertised".........you had to ask for them.............but at 12-13 years.........money talked..............

Silver Salutes...........$8.00, 1/2 gross .........Cherry Bombs........$10.00, 1/2 gross...........M80's.........$12.00, 1/2 gross............these were the real deal..........marked "For Pest Control Only"...........made in the USA..............we had a great time ........there were some mail boxes that suffered, so I was told..........and we celebrated the 4th of July like Americans used to do..............and I still have all my fingers.........

Fireworks stories................bring em.................

Had an interesting encounter with a psychotic episode today. Was pretty amazing frankly.

The owner of the local gun club lost his mind in a meeting I had with him. I thought initially he was angry about something, but it quickly escalated to him threatening violence and then being barely able to control his urge to draw his pistol and open fire. I spent a fair amount of time watching his hands after it became clear I was witnessing a complete psychiatric breakdown. It was completely fucking nuts.

Attempted to leave and he blocked my way. Then threatened to kill my dog for some reason.

Stay safe out there folks.

Selling my manners T2A midnight elite tactical with gen 2 mini chassis 700 Sa for impact but will also fit defiance. It was already modified when I bought it. Not the cleanest job by any means but it works. $850 shipped PayPal f&f or Venmo

This is a Tikka T3x action originally from a Tac A1, so it has their excellent two stage trigger. Also includes the Sterk swept bolt handle and Area 419 20 MOA rail. KRG Bravo in Sako green with Arca rail and bag rider. The barrel is an 18" Bartlett 7.5 twist chambered in 6GT by Caleb Jackson, probably has 400 rounds through it. It's been shot in a few matches and has a scuff here and there but generally in good shape. Asking $1250 shipped to your FFL.

I like the comment the coach made, applicable to many of our current issues...

"If you're not willing to stand up for what is right, why are we even here."

Like the title says looking to see what is being used these days.

Jesus, RATM was spot on about a bunch of shit during Covid. Now they’re planing to never let that happen again.

Are they killing in the name of Lucifer? Satan? Epstein?

These days with virtually all modern pistols having a trigger block that will not allow a primer strike unless the trigger is pulled via different types of internal trigger linked safety features….

Aside from more safeties more better, with a proper holster and trigger control is there any reason not to carry a modern hammer fire DA/SA condition 0?

I think the Supreme Court screwed the pooch on this decision. ‍♂

7 PRC is released. Any thoughts? especially on the action length? I'm not asking a bunch of questions to keep the topic broad on purpose. L

Like new factory L3 PVS14 with the gen3 high FOM factory filmless white phosphorus tube. Only has a few hours of use. Purchased a set of these new from an authorized dealer, but I've only been using one of them on rare occasions so I can part with this one. Lens clarity is good, there's a spot in the outer zone 3 with some slight peppering, but it doesn't obscure anything.

Terms: (SOLD) shipped and insured via UPS without the KVC K-Clip or (SOLD) with the clip. Paypal F&F or add the fees plus your state's applicable sales tax. I reserve the right to do business with whom I feel comfortable. Plenty of references here and on other forums as a buyer and seller of high end optics and comparably priced items

I have a new gun and I am experimenting with different ammo. For now I settled on 175 gr hpbt w a .505 bc, moving at 2620fps due to cost, availability and grouping with my rifle.
I Zeroed at 100yd and my come up at 200yd is .5.
When I shoot 168gr by the same manufacturer, moving at 2680fps, w a .462 bc my 200yd come up is 0. In other words at 200yds my turret is 0.
I am going over to the 600yd range next. I have a variety of ammo left over from my experimenting. Sticking with just the 175 and 168 ammo discussed above, how would I get a good TRY number for the 168 ammo at 300,400 etc ?
If you use weaponized math my 200yd number is 0. 0x 2.48= 0.
Even if you used .1 x2.48 you get .248 which doesn’t seem right.
A broader question is if you ran out of ammo and needed to switch to a different ammo, is there a “rule of thumb” you would use to get on target without rezeroing for each ammo?

I have a nightforce 40% off certificate that is good till 3/26/24 $450

It's in excellent shape, I have the LOP spacers that came with it, I would take 300$ shipped.
