This has been my experience also.

Re: The Armed Protest at the State Capital is a ruse - do not fall for it

This type of action will add fuel to the Democrats' attempt to pass a domestic terrorists bill. People need to remember that they hold the House, Senate and White House. Biden will appoint all ... ALL U.S. Attorneys.

Re: Alternate Comms

Before the current three licenses there was the Advanced class exam. That one was pretty hard and there were to many questions to memorize the answers for the formulaic questions for Reactance and other technical calculations. 13 wpm code exam too. The questions have become more relevant in the lat...

Re: Alternate Comms

All they need to shut down ham radio is some kind of precipitating event to use as an excuse. For example, somebody sets off a bomb, and investigators find out they planned it using ham radio. Pow, it'd be shut down in a heartbeat. Shutting down ham radio would not be easy at all. Hundreds of thous...

Finally!!!!!!!!! The Forum is back.

I took the Forum down on Dec. 24th to do a software update. I backed up the site and started the process. There was a catastrophic failure and the backup file was apparently corrupted. That's when the fun began. I was able to fix some of the problems with help from folks on the phpBB support forum, ...

Re: ATF to Institute Rulemaking Regarding Stabilizing Braces and Require Registration of Currently Owned Braces

I knew I should have stayed out of this thread. It quickly went from a factual post to ranting, faulty analogies, insinuations of apathy and insults to a whole class of gun owners. If you can't stick to facts and leave the emotion out of the discussion, then just ignore this thread. Apathy and/or In...

Re: ATF to Institute Rulemaking Regarding Stabilizing Braces and Require Registration of Currently Owned Braces

Well this thread took an even darker turn. Looks like braces are going to get sacrificed next. We’re running out of room. I think I’m about out of hope anything will ever get better. NFA won’t be repealed in any form or fashion. Its scope will be expanded. I might as well get ahead of the curve and...

Re: Are hackers attacking the web site?

I've had a tech support ticket open on this issue. Apparently, it's an issue with the software and I need to load an update that is designed to fix the php error. I haven't done it because I need to back up the database and files first. That's not a minor tack with a forum that will be 16 years old ...

Re: ATF to Institute Rulemaking Regarding Stabilizing Braces and Require Registration of Currently Owned Braces

The credibility I'm talking about is mine, yours, the gun-owning community, not the BATFE. I've condemned it for its abused and I don't expect credibility from its leadership. Chas. I agree with everything you wrote. My problem is two-fold. First, as I noted in response to another Member's post, onc...
