Have you fired them? As much as I hate to say it the AK is much more reliable, and penetrates 7 inches of Pine tree with lethal force. The .223 round is deflected by the slightest of objects including small limbs with leaves. The AR was designed for shots of 100 yards or more because of the flat trajectory and the supersonic velocity. The AK was designed for close quarters combat with penetrating power for getting those buggers hiding behind doors, trash cans, and car doors.

But your premise is well taken. Anyone watching the news should feel the need. They'll be shortages of the guns and ammo now and the prices will get jacked back up to nearly 2 grand for one soon. That had come back down under 1,000 but not anymore!

And GTS, the NRA is a worthless bureaucracy that is only good at lining their own pockets.

Yeah just making a point. I'd rather have a 30/30 and .357 magnum ruger blackhawk revolver.

I can agree with that.

And for Shere Kahn I will remind him that when the M16's were first released the snarky remarks about losing the M14 was that the M16 was swell, it was made by Mattel! They were improved but the tolerances were so tight that any moisture or any sand and the receiver seized. The AK was so loose in its action that you could literally drop it in a Rice Paddy leave it overnight dredge it out and fire it.

Later on the M16's were deliberately loosened up a bit and performed much better.

I would recommend the old WWII/Korean War M1 Carbine as a great close range gun but the cost of the ammo is absurdly high. But for little to no kick, ease of handling, great action, and packing a wallop at close range it's hard to beat.

When I'm feeling particularly wild I like my Winchester (US Repeating Arms) 38/55 a rifle used by the Sioux at the Little Big Horn. If it's good enough to kill Custer and Buffalo then it's a good weapon to take into a good day to die! I just need some War Paint and a great knife! Then I can sing my death song and do battle with the forked tongues from Washington.

some folks in Seattle reading this thread?

Funny thing is I never thought about guns anymore than I would a hammer or a screwdriver. A shotgun for birds, rifle for deer, carried a pistol in the field for feral dogs, hogs and maybe a copperhead. I'd hate to have to use one for anything else but my actual usage has made me proficient enough I suppose.

Strange days

Truly strange days! They are just tools. But like all tools you buy some you hope you never have to use, but you have to have them just in case you do. I hope to never use mine in anger, but if somebody is coming for my family it's not going to be a good day for him. I was raised on military bases and fired most of those our troops have used since the old 45/70 rolling block that Custer's troopers had right through the 1903 Springfield and everything after. All tools, but each with history and that's what appealed to me.

When your greedy criminal plan gets foiled by ..... greedy criminals.

And then you get instant karma'ed by a telephoto lens. The guy in the chopper took his sweet time but one of those plates is crystal clear.

Broad daylight, on camera the second they left their car, crystal clear view of the license plate, and you know they all have their cell phones (another word for tracking devices) in their pockets.

How low IQ do you have to be to think you are going to get away with that?

Excuse me? It's California! You know the state with the revolving door at the prisons. They probably are dumb, but it's one of just a few states where being stupid doesn't hurt you.

Yeah, they may get a slap on the wrist in cali, but think of all the other clips of similar behavior in states with less insane criminal justice systems. I mean, people were looting live on CNN earlier, their faces clear as day in 1080p.

They must seriously believe this is the end of the world, and the law won't ever go back to being enforced.

My mother conducted choir there. I joined in and played trumpet there, cause all the other kids sucked.

This is ******* sickening, they’re burning down their own houses, neighborhoods, neighbors businesses.

This is generational damage, yet we wonder why some folks can never “get ahead”.

Not sure if more pissed or more sad.
Mebbe both.

Whoever this is, they are not Democrats or Republicans. It is a group disguising themselves as Antifa attacking everything and everybody. There are Antifa members now calling out these people since it is not who they are. Heard there are Antifa members out there trying to protect people and property now. This could be a new group that splintered off of Antifa doing their own thing. That is how the New Black Panther came about since they called The Black Panthers as Uncle Toms.

Antifa gets the blame when the majority of the rioters are not part of BLM or Antifa, but either from street gangs or the New Black Panthers like they did after the Rodney King incident.
