Barbara's thread about how long to live...
Add Art's comments...
I got to thinking back and " the more things change - more they remain the same.

I have some 1955 Field & Stream magazines - the year I was born. Over the years I have seen the same "discussions" over the years re-hashed time and time again, not only in F&S, other magazines and on Internet Forums.

For fun - TWENTY Years from now, what do you think will be the topics of discussion on Gun Forums?

1. Which gun for : Wife, GF...

2. Bears

3. Anyone else use a cane for a shooting stick?

4. Network of Tunnels found under Chicago - folks escaping to not only neighboring cities, also states.

5. Loaded 1911 for 50 years discovered and still fired; Mag springs still fine.

Next!

1. How much is the Pre-2009 winchester 94 I inherited from my grandfather worth?
2. Better accuracy in the old case ammunition- Smokeless powder or Hodgdon's new smokeless powder substitute?
3. Nano bullet lube- to nano or not to nano? Will nanolube build up in my barrel?
4. Soldiers report that 4.4x25 NAMTO (North AMerican Treaty Organization) ammo is ineffective sometimes requiring 14 hits to make a stop, should the Army bring the old M4 carbines back out of storage and start issuing them again?

There's gonna be BBQ guns? Cheesy

Crap, I have to outlive the dismal life span prediction so I can liove long enough to see that. Which means I probably shouldn't eat as much BBQ. Sigh...

My vote is for,

".45 or 9mm, which is better?"

Are the 9MM phasers powerful enough or should I upgrade to a 45 plasma cannon?

Which is better ... the .17 or .22 caliber air rifles ... ?   Sad
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

5.  Questions about the best method of casting Nugentonium, the superheavy metallic element (No. 137) that the Illinois Army uses for their 1.16 X 23 carbines.
6.  The shocking revelations in his son's biography that John Kerry really did like to hunt deer while crawling on his belly.
7.  The decision by the Cowboy Action Society to allow the growing number of "Dirty Harry" re-enactors their own "Shooting" and "Best Period Outfit" categories.
8.  Skunkabilly's tacticool carbon-fiber heart replacement.
9.  The Mexican government's increasing use of force to stop illegal American homesteaders, who's only crime is to want a cheap piece of land to build a McMansion on.
10.  Whether or not gun parts made on NASA's automated L5 factory, with ores harvested from asteroids, satisfy the "US parts" requirement.
