Any dope can make a 300 yard shot with an AR

Hey! I'm not a dope!

But otherwise, I agree. Even a non boat tailed 5.56 -- even the XM193 -- is accurate at 250 yards, and will drop a deer.

Wrong. With a few notable exceptions, there is very, very little I am willing to use government force to do. Technically I am a conservative, but I have a libertarian streak 10 miles wide. (And no, I am not a supported of Ron Paul.).

The left / right scale for politics should be relabeled as "Statist" (Left) vs. "Individualist" (Right). I am an Ayn Rand style individualist.

To be fair, the Crusades were started as a response to a muslim invasion of Europe. The Holy Grail stuff was just what the nobles told the serfs to get them to go fight.

Furthermore -- Vlad the Impaler was actually a hero, as he successfully defended his corner on Europe from the muslim hordes. The whole impaling stuff was the beginning of psychological warfare -- and it was VERY effective.

Boris Yeltsin did not implement free market policies, he implemented the other side of the totalitarian coin -- fascism.

Under Yeltsin, the "free" market ended up being entirely owned by a Russian oligarchy -- conveniently loyal to Yeltsin and "the Party" just like the Italian economy under Benito Mussolini.

Plus, once he had switched the government to essentially a fascist one -- still a totalitarian one -- he resigned and gave the reins to another avowed communist and former KGB member -- Vladimir Putin. Ever hear of him?

Another question -- what do you think of the Daily Beast advocating that corporations sign loyalty oaths to Obama?

Does your feeble mind understand that is a play out of the Italian Fascist book?

Are you saying there's any real, discernible difference between fascists, democrats, and socialists these days?

I knew you'd be completely wrong -- humorously so -- and you didn't disappoint.

Boris Yeltsin was the President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and was a member of the Communist Party.

Please explain by whatever twisted "logic" you can muster how Yeltsin wasn't a Socialist.

Was Boris Yeltsin ever waiting in line for 4 hours to buy toilet paper like the average Russian was?

My degree is "Computer Science And Engineering" -- and we CSE grads are the cream of the crop, and if you don't agree, then you sir, are worse than Hitler.

I have a Remington 870, pump action, shortest legal barrel. It holds 4 shells in the tube (really, if you're at home, and you need more than 4 shells -- you're fucked anyway. For me, at that point, my wife has grabbed the AR-15 as well...)

Here's how I have it loaded:

Hornady Zombie Max 00 Buckshot
Hornady Zombie Max 00 Buckshot
Hornady Zombie Max 00 Buckshot
Remington 1 oz Slug


Hopefully none of those shells get fired. The slug in particular is really bad news for an assailant -- 9.1 inch temporary cavity.

That second video is why I wouldn't trust birdshot to save my life. Look at the penetration difference -- even the mighty (for a handgun) .45 is no match for 00 Buckshot.

Second video recommends #4 shot actually, I might have to think about reloading my shotgun. I have a couple of boxes of magnum brass pellet #4 shot... maybe go #4, 00, 00, slug.

... could have fostered more adoption, considering it's 3.16, by getting the celebrity endorsement of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

No, but he now sees the violence inherent in the system...

As someone who inadvertently removed his earmuffs at an indoor range...

It'll ring, but not for long.

It's not going to make me cringe, because that's the same thought process that led to me getting a shotgun in the first place.

Like I said -- I've been told by a police officer that 95% of the time, the sound of a shotgun getting cocked is enough, that if someone is in your home, they'll run.

The other 5% of the time, you'll want the stopping power of the boomstick.

I, too, hope I never use any of my guns other than to shoot holes in paper (or fruit, or bottles, or tasty animals I intend to eat). While I have had to draw my handgun, the sight of it was enough to stop my assailant, and I did not have to point it at him nor did I have to pull the trigger.
