  1. I don't know of any on the list that are military grade. For example the AR-16 is military, the AR-15 is not and is only slightly larger caliber than my grandfather's 1890s 22. It is however more powerful and smoother operation making it a most excellent vermin rifle. I don't have one but have shot one. If needing to protect family, pets &/or livestock from vermin this is an excellent choice. Have you ever seen the damage a porcupine can do to livestock or working dog or a skunk or rabid coyote?
  2. I agree with Bob on this point.
  3. What assault weapons? You can't buy a full automatic AK47 in the US.
  4. I would not agree with that either and there is much about the NRA I disagree with, they go way to far in shooting down many reasonable changes. I do wonder though, what are the "military grade weapons" you speak of?
  5. If we follow Wkn's statement regarding first guns and gunpowder, the first jet aircraft WWII was build to kill people. Thus yes we should ban all commercial jet aircraft. But we should be allowed to keep our prop airplanes because like Orville & Wilbur most aircraft owner & pilots just want to fly and get there faster.
  6. Most aircraft manufactured for WWI & II etc were for killing people, look at percent of total numbers. Why did we beat the Brits, cause we had a lot of settlers with guns who were good at shooting game and vermin. Watch Braveheart ... Wallace and friends had a bunch of hammers etc. BTW: don't forget the first ... Cain killed Able. Also, I want to thank my good internet buddy @MPhillips for telling me about this "fun" Other Stuff section of this here board.
  7. Exactly ... why would you want to be sitting in an arena versus enjoying Hawaii? Now if it were beach wrestling.
  8. A gun's purpose is to kill game and vermin. A hammer's purpose is to hit nails. You already stated the airplane. Yet some folks have used all 3 for other purposes against the law resulting in murder charges. I'll give you a B on the airplane statement but ...
  9. On 911 aircraft crashed into the twin towers & Pentagon killing ~3,000. Does that make "aircraft culture" bad? As a pilot and aircraft owner does that make me a bad person? Certainly with many aircraft owners there's "glorification & worship" of their baby, plus all the money spent on her. Don't think I've ever included on a Christmas card but certainly have shared photos from trips with the kids posed by the plane. Perhaps all "culture" is bad.
  10. What is "gun culture?"
  11. Orange is good if its the "brightest orange." Trump is not the brightest orange.
  12. So can we watch this on Flo or Track or both?
  13. Who knew, I thought everyone went to the Zoo for the summer, good tip.
  14. These are very valid points, they should put in a bid.
  15. You are on the right track, you could be a pinfall wizard coach, just ask Wkn.
  16. Well you do have an eternity of time on hand. So I'll revise my answer: no except for Bob
  17. Bob knows when things are about to expire.
  18. And thus their major problem. For years & years Flo & Track have refused to listen to the customer. They've refused to look at the UX from successful web sites and apps. Have any every seen them survey subscribers & users about what kind of experience they would like or changes they prefer? Betting no and there is no indication they will ever change.
  19. More than what? Sure its easier than looking up results in the cave etchings in the Oklahoma Glass Mountains ... but otherwise ... it always takes 6 to 8 steps to find specific info/results of interest, no easy way to simply filter out age groups you are never interested in, From what everyone says it was built for running tournaments and probably fine for that but if looking for results I know of no sports web site or app thats worse. ~75% of the time there's an ad covering the bottom of the bracket so if you are never interested in the #2 seed maybe thats OK.
  20. Bob and John go way back.
  21. I have also, two frustrating systems for the price of one.
