I'm putting together an AR build, you guys. Help me out. So far I've got:

Full Semi-Automatic
gas-assist receiver
shoulder thing that goes up
30-caliber clip

What else I needs to put on this bad dog?
You have to say "barrel shroud" along with that 3rd one.

How many times do we have to have this "clip vs magazine" talk? It's not a clip, you dope. What you want is a “high-capacity, rapid-fire magazine” (courtesy Debbie Wasserman Schultz).
I want a 30 round clip for my M1 Garand.  I haven't seen them for sale.

I don't know why y'all seem to want to try and carry magazines around. Seems like clips would be more convenient.  :old:

I use magazines cause they untraceable in my ghost gun. Problem is, once you use a magazine, it's done. You can't use it no more.

(By the way, read that full article for multiple stupidities, even as it seeks to correct a stupidity. Shades of Mark Hertling.)

It needs to disperse a 30 caliber magazine clip in half a second.

Wasn't he the California politician who was busted for gun trafficking?

Nope, that was Leland Yee. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/26/leland-yee-gun-traffickin_n_5038152.html

No, De Leon is the guy who says half his relatives are in the U.S. illegally.

And he's running against Feinstein in the D primary for US Senate.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

He's a front runner for the seat. The dem party is not supporting Feinstein as she's too conservative.

She may not have the party's endorsement, but she's well ahead in the polls.

But until Sunday morning, de León had little evidence that his challenge to Feinstein could succeed. The senator entered the year with more than $9.8 million in campaign funds on hand; de León had just $359,261. A February poll from the Public Policy Institute of California found her leading de León by 29 points, with 33 percent of likely voters undecided.

I imagine she will probably win re-election.  Whether she'll be able to serve the full 6 years is another matter (she would be 90).

I guess I need to quit reading the liberal weeklies.  :laugh:

Though it's a sad state of affairs when Feinstein winning is a less bad thing.

Hmmm ...

Quote
We all exaggerate risk, but conservatives are especially prone to exaggerate risks. For one thing, conservatives generally tend to see the world as a more dangerous place than liberals do, so they are especially vulnerable to these distortions.

Conservatives are realists, and don't walk around in a LaLaland trance.

Quote
They also tend to repress their own aggressive and sexual impulses more and to identify with aggressors.

Conservatives open doors for women rather than raping them.

Quote
These forbidden impulses may be projected onto others, justifying the decision to see others as a source of danger and legitimizing aggressive responses.

Conservatives can see when liberal snowflakes are being hypocritical.

Halie Byron, 20, said she locked herself in her off-campus house, about a 10-minute walk from the dorm. She had planned to run errands before traveling home to southeastern Michigan.

“It’s scary thinking about how easy a shooter can come into a college campus anywhere — a classroom, a library. There’s so much easy access,” Byron said.

Not to worry, Ms. Byron. I'm sure your campus is posted as a gun-free zone, so there's no need for you to worry about guns on the campus.


Eh? What's that you say? Oh ...

Great comment by James Woods at the link. Apparently there will be over 500 armed security personnel at the Oscars tonight, which it's reported will be heavy on the gun control rhetoric.

I'm placing my bet that it will be the least watched Oscars of all time.
