Unable to understand how many on this site are able to ride bicycles
The Last Wood replied to cactusjack's topic in The Campfire
Also if you are going to list something take decent pics. I can't see your black rifle on your black couch in a dark room -

The Last Wood replied to cactusjack's topic in The Campfire
This is true, I don't know how many times people (not here so much but on bp/cl) put OBO in the description and won t budge 50$ on a 1000$ dollar rifle. I have bought things for exactly what people ask but many times if someone would budge a little it would have made the sale. It's psychology, you want to feel like you won a little. If someone puts "FIRM" I will not respond unless I am willing to pay what they asked -
Then hopefully they are dumb enough to do it on a motorcylce

This is great news for our ranchers.

That's awesome, and that's allot quicker than I've heard of, many say it takes almost a year -
A zero tolerance policy of giving up eights can only be expected from us. They know they can't take our liberty all at once so they incrementally take our freedoms. And you say self regulation takes the teeth put of our opposition, I believe it embolden them. They have all the time in the world to chip away one freedom at a time and it will keep working as long as people like you try to appease them. The all or nothing mentality can seem unproductive but we are tired of losing battles. Fool me once shame on you.

Coach tell me when capitulation has worked out for conservatives. You say if it's our idea it gives us leverage but I can't think of any time it has. Conservatives have crossed the aisle over and over and it's never reciprocated. We always get the amnesty but not security, we get the tax increases but not the spending cuts. What do you think giving this up will get us. Again McCain is a perfect example of this and you say you are no fan of his but you are playing out of his book.

Coach, saying that if we come up with the idea of a certain type of gun control will give us leverage down the road is ridiculous. Did giving amnesty to 7 million illegals in the 80s give us leverage as they still cross our borders today? That is an idea liberals came up with to trick republicans. They will call you a hero for a day then be back to use you again. They may even call you "the maverick" look at John McCain

There is no right to not be offended. If people have a problem with something going on in a public space they can either tune it out or leave. Religious people are east to pick on but there are other things many people find offensive or downright disgusting that you would be hard pressed to bam in a public place

Freedom of religion can definitely include freedom from religion. The framers of the Constitution put in place separation of church and state and freedom of religion because they wanted the citizens to have freedom from religion imposed upon them by the government or other citizens. The sign in the picture was very poorly done as it singled out one specific religion. Country music? Way too controversial I'm not going to touch that one. Actually separation of church and state is not in the constitution. It was Thomas Jefferson's interpretation of a part of the first amendment. It had been created by supreme court precedent but If you read the original letter it seems it has been taken out of context to limit how or where you can practice your religion. It really has more to do with keeping the government out of churches than keeping people from praying in school

I knew we had to worry about the millenials but now the seniors too?

2nd Amendment.....what is it?
The Last Wood replied to Non-Typical Solutions's topic in The Campfire
Obviously to have the second amendment the belief that an over-accumulation of power was detrimental to true liberty and freedom and the people would/might one day have to stand up to their government. I believe the founders would be appalled at the size and scope of our governments duties. They would probably be ashamed that we let it get this way and wasted what so many put their lives and fortunes on the line for. I'm not sure any nation can go on forever as the world superpower and be truly free. The cycle of growth and globalization leads to a necesitty of centralised power when most people would gladly give away liberties for comfort and security. A nation strong enough to defend itself from other world powers is always going to try and exert it's control at home and abroad and when people are so willing to give away their independence and responsibility for government handouts the dye is cast. People call you crazy for even implying that our government would ever become tyrannical and that we would have to stand up to them but look at how many times this has happened in the world. People would be happy for the government to take everyone's guns away but there might actually be a rebellion if you tried to take away all their I phones... sad -
People want someone to blame and alot of 2A people are still upset over the NRAs reaction after the Vegas shooting related to bump stocks so they are getting hit by both sides

I can't really justify spending so much, I'm really happy with my Ozark though and it's about half the price. The only thing is the rubber straps that hold the lid shut will probably break some day I'm sure bit of you consider most people use them only hunting and camping and I use mine everyday at work it is holding up very well and the rubber straps can be replaced if they break. I would love to have a pelican the latches are very strong and latches and hinges are the first thing to go on cheap coolers. You can do well with a mid priced Coleman but many of the cheapest coolers have little or no insulation in the lids. Plus the roto molded plastic is very nice and strong. I need something strong for the work truck cuz of all the shoot I throw in the back

6.5 creedmoor starting point
The Last Wood replied to ctafoya's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Is the h4831sc not a good replacement for h4350? -
You can't make people respond a certain way. Obviously everyone doesnt want to change a law to make you feel better. Seems like most agree there was an over reaction by g&f but all you can do at this point is learn from it. I know I will never self report now if I make a mistake, seems easier than changing laws. You can always move to one of those 19 states that have laws you approve of. Or YouTube school house rock how a bill becomes a law. Talk to your state representatives, petition support.

Rkennedy23 was great to deal with. Bought a pair of binos from him. Was very easy to contact, it's annoying when someone lists something and is impossible to set up a meet with. A+
