Misc Firearms Crew LXXV: It's Not the End of the World, But You Can See it From Here

[taf1968]

I just read 'The Road.' Very fast read, pretty grim at some points. I wish I had read the book before seeing the movie. I kept picturing Viggo Mortensen as I read it. Oh well, would strongly recommend.

I'd probably have the same issue . . . saw the movie awhile back and would picture him in it, too.

It was a solid read. The ending between the man and his son was a bit more intense/emotional reading it than seeing it in the movie. Solid $3.50 purchase on abebooks.com

Curious about what happens now that the NRA is collapsing.

Will I stop getting asked if I want to win a truck?

Will I stop getting asked if I can buy Wayne LaPierre's Vest?

Will the NRA be more legislatively active? More active in the courts?

[Sldofftn03]

lol, if only buying a woman were as easy as buying weight lifting equipment. they always have to make things so much more complicated doe.

buying property should be the very first priority, get off that rent and start building equity. myron hard that you can have a set up on your property for shooting too. if i shot a firearm anywhere near my house swat would come disrespect my home.

If only. I hear mail order brides make guys lives a living h*ll too. Not sure how some of you guys put up with it, I can't deal with dumb sloots so until I find a smart chick that isn't a sloot, I'm staying single.

Buying this house definitely is. It's not the nicest house in the world but it's a nice house, spacious for a 2 bed 2 bath. At the moment, it will be just me. I walked to the back of the property and it will need some cleaning up in the half acre of woods, but it could be a nice place to set up a little camping spot for my nephews. They're still a bit young yet to take camping, being only 7 and 3. The livestock barn needs a little TLC, but over all it doesn't seem to be in bad condition. Will need to put in a floor or something before the rain washes the soil floor away. The pond is decent sized but will need to be cleaned up as it's overgrown with vegetation. Has plenty of oak trees on the property so there is plenty of shade to help keep cooling costs down. There is a lot of perks with this property so I hope I can get it. Spent the evening working on a layout for what I'd do if I get it. I think it will work.

I have mixed feelings about the mess going on with the NRA. They need to restructure and pull their heads out of their azzes. They still have the potential to get back in line, but they need a severe change in direction. It makes you wonder how screwed we'd be without them or if other orgs like GOA, SAF etc can pick up the load.

morning, MFC.

What in the cinnamon toast fuk is that? lactose free? ultra filtered?
Were you wearing your ultra skinny jeans, pointy toe leather shoes and hipster flannel?



full fat, cream top, non homoginized.

This. Hate them or love them, they’re probably one of, if not the most, important variable as to why we haven’t lost even more ground on the 2A (I don’t want to say we would have lost it entirely). They’ve given up plenty of ground themselves, but losing the NRA would be like losing the UAW for workers, or the VFW if you’re a veteran. They’re the most powerful group on the block, and losing them would not help us at all, and would empower the antis beyond belief. Getting rid of the NRA has always been a huge goal of theirs. They didn’t even have to do it. The NRA did it to themselves, helped by a lot of gun owners too, but long term if the NRA dies, we will feel it.

(I haven’t paid attention specifically to what’s happening at the NRA.)

Just got back from a nice little 7 mile-ish bike ride with my daughter. Up until about a week ago, she hadn't touched her bike in a couple years. But she saw me working on my bike lately and she got the bug and started trying to re-acclimate to it with a couple short rides of her own. She wanted to do something longer this morning. Was a beautiful ride on a canal trail that runs around this part of town. Cottonwoods lining both sides along the way, views of the mountains, some really cool estates with horses, etc. Saw 3 deer on the ride.

Will be doing that ride more often and definitely extending it.

Mirin. Got my daughter out a couple of weekends ago for her first big ride. She went 20 miles, which I was impressed with for a 9 yo. Local trail goes around the "city" and throughout much of it follows a river, so lots of it is pretty scenic. She fairly regularly rides 5 or so miles with us, but this was a big step up for her.

That is chocolate milk with 13g of protein per 8oz, and only 140 cals. This is where I'd say DYEL, but I know you don't. You can keep your poverty AF 8g protein lol

That's a pretty macho ride for a 9 year old . . . well done!

Biking may end up being my daughter's newfound exercise outlet for cardio. She's been working out a lot in the basement with some weights I bought her and she's pretty fit looking. But she's had it in her mind that she wants to run . . . and her knees don't like the running. We had a long chat about it and I just gave her the speech about running not being for everyone and if your body tells you not to do it--then listen to your body and find something else that can take its place that works better for you. So the bike may be it. She's also been riding my Airdyne, but she seemed to really like being out in the fresh air with all the trees and stuff to look at (can't blame her--that's much more scenic than the basement).

I got heavily in to cycling for a brief period. Road cycling. I was out crushing Strava, started racing and doing really well. Problem was I was putting a lot of hours in every week and just wasn’t sustainable. I’m 100% or nothing when it comes to hobbies. I don’t like to half ass things. So I just quit. Put 40lbs on and wish I kept with it.

[gixxer0.6g]

Who shoots 300 AAC subs? What bullet/powders are you using? Accurate 1680 with some heavy 30 cal bullets seems to be the favorite online but looking for some secret recipes here.


ps - cycling is for ****s. Enjoy your padded underwear and low sperm count.

[DualRectifier]

I don't do cycling or padded underwear, but I've been enjoying a zero sperm count for nine years

Already snipped . . . so I guess this adds an extra layer of protection!

Another actual firearm question.....wet or dry tumblers?

[SpeedCheeser]

Everyone hold the fuk up...so when someone says to visualize something or "picture this", those aren't just silly expressions and you're actually constructing a mental image that you can actually see?

Don’t know, don’t care atm and no thanks.

Visualize me giving zero phukks.










Not srs.









Sometimes I may actually get some kind of picture in my head, but I may just do a 360 and walk away after understanding their example without going that far.

I still haven't had the dr check my sperm count since getting snipped. Just been plowing with the assumption that I'm shooting blanks.





...I really need to get that checked to be sure. Lmao

I would...except I can't. Today I found out that aphantasia is a thing. And I guess I have it, because discovering it exists of course revealed that it isn't just normal, and that people actually do visualize things they're imagining and see them.

You're probably ok but it's not official until you get that doctor's note. It is a pain in the ass but you really need to get that follow up test done.
