I like Tom Morello more than Eddie Van Halen...

I'm thinkin' the oxygen's a little thin on your planet...

I'm just saying...

I guess wherever musicians gather, you're bound to find a few commie pinko fags.

This is a universal truth.

 

[Odin]

soooooo...i get a little sleep and find that the great name of ODIN has been soured by some jerkoff troll who obviously doesn't know his head from his ass?...either that or it's just carly or mike.
in which case i can let it slide cuz they're the dumbest fuks on the planet and prolly don't even know who ODIN is...it's just the only name left to possibly get on a forum with.

Odin is my real name, dumbass...and I'm not Carl or MikeV. Nobody has traded more insults with Carl over the years than me, I was battling with Carl when you were still shitting yellow.

 

[Odin]

Nice try but I'm a card carrying member of the NRA (30+ years) and the proud owner of a P226...

P226 is nice...some of my daily carry pistols include a P226 in .357Sig.

 

[Odin]

I wouldn't say Morello is anti-American.

I'd say he's a white-hating, cop-killer defending, anti-American, piece of s**t!

Fits right in with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

It's no wonder I don't like him...being a white American cop.

Check your history...I'm not buying into the commie propaganda, you tell me which communist society has been greater than America's capitalist society.

I think you're missing his point. The way I understand them is that communism as a concept was sound, unfortunately the execution is where you had a few that decided to take capitalistic approach to it. And then had a big fuckin mess.

That said as far as I can tell, Morello is pro socialism, which IMO works just fine if I look at countries like Sweden, or Germany.

So he's arguing for a concept that has never been actually realized? OK, if "if's and but's" were candy and nuts every day would be Christmas, too, but I don't see that happening. If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he jumped. Back in the real world, communism has never succeeded or been seen as superior to democracy, and it never will be. History has proven this time and again.

Socialism only "works fine" if you are Ok with keeping the masses suppressed and oppressed, eliminating the entrepreneurial drive of mankind, accepting mediocrity, etc... which is precisely what the far left in America wants - socialism (for everyone except the elite limousine liberals). Unfortunately, that's what we're slowing becoming, a socialist state.

My point was communism hasn't ever been tried, individuals, such as lenin, stalin, or mao have placed their own theories and practises over it, your point is void.

I don't see whats wrong with people being idealistic? Theres obviously a better way of life than capitalism, it hasn't been realised yet. Are you so narrow sighted that in 1000 years you think that the human population are still going to be into capitalism, that it is the be all and end all of human social evolution?

Get over yourself mate!

It is also backwards looking, arrogant, loud and unwanted people like yourself that proclaim America as the finest coutnry in the world, that shits on everyone else that gives your country such a bad reputation. In Australia I'd bet more people would be distrusting of Americans than say, or Iraqi's. Sure it is a contentious issue but I think the SMALL section of American society that adopt your attitude need to change if you want to remain a great country.

Noice!

Here's a coupla my daily carries:

and my truck gun.......

I'm a GOA lifer.

I'm not worried about lefties in Australia or hippy freakazoids on this forum, 'cause they don't vote in our elections.

 

[Craggin]

Copperhead...

Why the hollow-points?

 

[Copperhead]

Because they work better, and are far less likely to penetrate your target. The energy is transfered to the tissue much more efficiently as the projectile expands, therefor it uses all its' energy inside the target and does not continue to travel through.

No shit...I never knew that.


Since we're off topic anyway...how long does it take to get a handgun licence/permit? I was just informed that I inherited 2 pistols...a Walther P38 and a Luger P08.

Depends on your state. I'm not sure about NY laws, but here in FL I was able to get mine in about 4 weeks after I took the "class" thanks to electronic fingerprinting and the like.

I don't know what the laws are in your state, but here there is no such thing as a gun ownership license or permit or gun registration. You can purchase or receive any weapon as long as it is not a Class III (machine guns) from a private party. A licensed gun dealer who sells you a weapon must do a NICS system check. It's real easy, you fill out a simple form, he calls you in and gets a clearance or denial immediately. Here, you can openly carry any weapon in a holster on your hip for instance. This state issues concealed carry permits, which you must have to carry a concealed weapon. To obtain one you must attend a certified class and pass a written test, a range test, and an FBI background check. (I got mine)
If I were you, I would find a local gun range and take a basic handgun class. They will also help you with the legalities in your state.
Recreational shooting is a blast, I hope you enjoy your firearms and learn how to use them safely and legally.
Happy to help anytime.

Cool, will do, thank you. I'm not sure I'll fire those things...they're pretty old. I remember them from when I was a kid (that was a loooooong time ago, I'm 40 now) and fired them back in the day, but they've been in storage for about 25 or so years.

 

[Copperhead]

They'll be OK to shoot with the proper ammo.
I buy and sell collectable military firearms. The oldest one I ever had was a 1888 Springfield Trapdoor 45-70.
There are clubs that shoot those in competition weekly!

My dad had a bunch of firearms...my brother got most of them, he hunts and shoots regularly. (He lives in PA and has more space/occassion to do so.) I got the family heirloom stuff (the Luger and the Walther). I remember growing up around all this stuff and reloading all our own ammo for target shooting...fun stuff. My brother was the scary one...he could knock cloths pins off a fence post at 75 yards with a .22 rifle (no scope), when he was 10 years old. Since moving from PA about 20 years ago, I haven't fired a weapon since, but the collectable military stuff has my interest.

 

[Copperhead]

Well, hang on to the Walther and the Luger. Those are great collector guns. Collectable firearms do way better than the stock market as well.

I like Tom Morello, even though he's a bit boring these days. Socialism is the only system that appears to actually work for the most part and guns are cool.
