Re: Next banking crisis is already well underway
Anybody know how to buy actual, physical gold and silver with the least possible coinage/commission overhead? :???: If it gets so bad that I need to have gold and silver, then I’m sure I’ll be glad that I actually invested in lead. :coolgleamA: Brings to mind a saying from Machiavelli - "Gold ...

Re: Entry wounds
This reminds me of a quote from a pretty good Vampire fantasy fiction series (the first several books, anyway - Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake books), about 9mm hollow point entry and exit wounds. Not very factual, but I had to admire the worsdmithing. "In like a penny, out like a pizza".

Re: Ultimate Woke
[quoteOne thing I noticed, even with RAH, is that many stories included elements of sexual changes/freedoms in daily life. This includes homosexual incidents in the stories. While there were some comments on gender roles in several books, the only RAH book I recall delving into gender identity/trans...

I dinno how it would go these days, but there was a case in Houston years back, where a repo man was taking somoene's car at night. The homeowner stepped out and shot him dead with a ...

Re: TX:The mean streets of Houston
"Active Self Protection" is a Youtube channel that breaks down shooting news story videos and offers commentary about what went right or wrong in the event. I enjoy it, and they make a lot of good points - as far as I know, I'm no expert. Stories from Houston have been featured a lot lately.

Re: Does Using an NFA Item in a Personal Defense Situation Put You in More Legal Jeopardy?
[I've always liked the (Probably made up) anecdote about the prosecutor saying why did you shot him x times? And the response of, well when I pulled the trigger the x+1th time it just went click. /quote] Reminds me of a case quite a while back in Houstomn, where a cop shot a goblin 13 times. The jo...

Re: Report: Over 24.4 million AKs & ARs in Circulation
Well, this doesn't count all of the ones that were lost in boating accidents.Still, even with this revised estimate, it's very difficult for me to get my head around the notion that there are only 24.4 million ARs, AKs, and variants

Dave Crowder's reaction to the idea of AOC running in 2024..."PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do it!" Sandy wouldn't stand a chance against any serious Republican candidate.The scariest thought for today: AOC will be age-eligible to run for president in 2024.

Re: Joe Xiden AKA Brandon
Someone is going to have a lot of housecleaning to do on January 20th, 2025....Has Biden appointed ONE (what most of us would consider a) “normal” person to an important post? And “competent” seems to be the last factor considered, if at all.

Re: Car repair
A low cost alternative to the expensive loosening chemicals is a 50/50 mix of automatic trans fluid and acetone. In lots of tests, it performs better at loosening things than the expensive stuff. Shake it up good and apply with a squirt bottle or brush.

Re: Uvalde School shooting
The Libertarian Party stands for open borders, last time I looked into them. The philosophy of libertarianism provides a useful check on statism, but the Party needs a lot of work. Sorry for my tangent. The Mises Caucus is gaining support in the Libertarian Party. They are much more reasonable and ...
