Guns and Ammo Thread

[The Deadlifting Dog]

I am reluctant to comment because I don't want to detract from what Test Monsterone wrote...
I believe he made many good points that anti-Trumpers feel.

I know that many people vote Republican for various reasons.

The Christians tend to vote Repblican because of their stance on abortion.
They believe that live is sacred.
Well if you believe that life is sacred... how can you vote for Trump?
He has cost tens if not a hundred plus thousands of lives. He lied to the public about Covid and is still lying today.
Hell... he blatanly lied last night in his town hall meeting.
"Trump falsely claims that 85% of people who wear masks get coronavirus"

He will sacrifice peoples lives just so he can stay in power.
So if life is sacred how can Trump be the right choice?

The pro-gun folk vote tend to vote Republican because of the 2nd amendment.
Many of them believe that we need guns to protect ourselves from our government abusing its powers.
Well... Trump used the military, the DHS, Federal Prison Guards, and who knows what else against protestors.
His own military advisers were against it.

Esper says he disagrees with Trump’s wish to use troops as crowd gathers on Capitol Hill to protest George Floyd’s killing
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/03/george-floyd-protests-trump-troops-esper

Trump got so mad that Esper disagreed with him that he nearly fired Esper.
(Because Trump obviously knows how the military should be used better than a general. He did dodge the draft and all.)

Trump was talked out of firing Defense Secretary Esper over disagreement on protest response

He ex-Secretary of Defense even called him a threat to the constitution.

James Mattis Denounces President Trump, Describes Him as a Threat to the Constitution

So if you are a Patriot who fights against tyranny how can Trump be the right choice?

Some people vote Reuplican because they think that Republicans are fiscally responsible.
Meanwhile Trump's deficits in his first three years (which are before Covid) are larger than Obama's in his last three years.
And Obama's GDP growth in his last three years was quicker than Trump's in his first three years.

So if you care about America's economy how can Trump be the right choice?

So we know he caused the deaths of many, many Americans...
We know he used troops against his own people...
We know he isn't fiscal responsible...

I could easily go on about his lies.
I could go on how he turned his back on our allies and befriended dictators.
I could go on how he is smarter than all the scientists.
I could go on about him backing conspiracy theories.
I could go on about him ignoring the FBI and CIA.
I could go on about him retweeting "White Power" posts and calling white supremascists very fine people.

But I just can't understand how people can't see the man for just what a danger he is to our society.
Vote Republican for the Senate and House if you want.
But Trump is no Republican.

Hey man thanks for that link. Really and truly.

Hey man thanks for that link. Really and truly.

No problem, Cuz. Hope it helps.

With the current ammo shortage, we all may need each others help to scrounge up some rounds.

^^^ Makes me wish I had snagged a drum of 12,500 rounds of M855 in the past. Think the best deal I recall was $4600 shipped. The 420 round cans for $179 we're almost as cheap so I went with those and just kept stacking them.

Don't recall if it was Wideners, Graf, Natchez, or Brownells that had the drums.

When it's in stock, Palmetto State Armory usually has the 420 round cans @ a reasonable price.

RANGE DAY!! Heading out to zero these two bad boys in. Curious to see how the Holosun holds up to the Eotech. Love the idea of their self charging battery and it’s overall battery life.
Love the other Eotechs I have but they just chew through batteries. This XPS2 is new to me though.

Anyone have any experience with Holosun? The reviews seem great (at least on this 510C model). The review were also great on the Romeo 3 and 4 too and I hated them.

We shall see...

(Probably go sell a kidney afterwards so I can replace the ammo in my cache. If I can find it, lol)

In the communist schittehole that I live in, all ammo sales require a background check and the sales have to be done in person. And pretty much every store is sold out locally.
