If that vet is in the direction straits you claim, I'd think a "gun" would be low on his list of priorities. How about suitable winter clothing, maybe some medical apparatus to make life easier etc. I didn't claim he was in 'direction straits'. Where did you get that idea? Or, are you simply, in your words, attempting to instigate? It's obvious - as usual. |

I used to have respect for Harry's liberal views even though I didn't necessarily agree with many of them. I often enjoyed friendly debate but he's gone off the deep end it seems. He makes false claims about people that he doesn't really know, repeating them over and over until he is convinced in his obsessed mind that they are true. I can't deal with that kind of warped and dishonest mentality. It's straight out of the progressive liberal playbook. But it is perfectly ok when your buddy Justan makes "false claims about people he doesn't know," right? Of course, right, because as you have told me, you think those claims are "funny." Perhaps a bit of satire based mostly on truth. Don't like it? Don't read it. Prove me wrong on any of the truths I've told about you. Prove a moron like you wrong? What's the point? Then stop whining. You are such a baby. Your behavior doesn't bother me, **** for brains...it just gives me the opportunity to point out your buddy's hypocrisy. If you knew him, even casually, you wouldn't say that. Your problem is that you look in the mirror too often and see whay you acuse others of. I call 'em as I see 'em, ****-for-brains. Most of your posts here are nothing more than junior high school level insults. The term "**** for brains" was a popular one back in junior high. You do realize you're the most prolific tosser of JHSLI's, don't you? You should quit whining. The popularity of phrases in junior high pretty much depends on when and where you attended junior high. Back in the day when I was at Susan Sheridan Junior High, jerks like Justan were referred to as "flamers," which was "short" for flaming assholes. Typically, one of the junior high tough guys, and we had a few, would beat the **** out of the Justans once a week and send them home with a bloody nose and a torn shirt. Those of us who were smarter tutored some of the tough guys who wanted to get through junior high and high school and therefore we were considered untouchable. We didn't have "anonymous" loudmouths back then. Justan would have had to have behaved or been one of the class punching bags. Ha ha ha. So, you were a "brain" (popular phrase back then) and therefore of immense value to the mere mortals trying to get through. Meanwhile, you claim to be a regular Don Juan of the school, chasing every skirt that walked by. What a freakin' joke. I was one of many bright kids at Sheridan, and I helped out some of the boys who had trouble with their classes in English and American History. I also had a couple of girl friends in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade in junior high, as did almost every other guy. That's a tad different than being a "regular Don Juan," right? Not according to your claims. You're either imaging or listening to your intellectually challenged buddy, "JustHopeless." I had a *couple* of girlfriends, two or three, in junior high. "imaging"? Really? |

He is a true blue liberal, said he stayed in bed for three days after the election. We had a bit of discussion about the Washington Post and CNN and the advantages of using Google News as a home page. Anyway, we started talking guns. He's wanting a small 9mm which he can operate. He's 84 now and pulling the slide back on his .45 is getting hard. He's got one of the old Colt Commanders. During the discussion, I mentioned my buddy Carmen, and told him about my plan. I also told him the whole story of Harry's 'generosity' which gave him a kick. Last evening, after thinking about it on the ride back out to his house (about an hour's ride), he gives me a call. Says he wants to add some money to the til for the SR1911. So, by the grace of two liberals, I'm ever closer to getting that gun for Carmen! Thanks again! |

- show quoted text - One of my Page County, Virginia buddies out there by the Shenandoah, a guy who is completely non-political, says he is planning to buy a .308 rifle to scare off the "assholes who put Trump yard signs on his property along the state highway without permission." I don't think he'll shoot any of them, but I'm guess their pick-me-up truck tires might be targeted if he catches them. And that's not being political? |

That's typically a right-of-way that is owned by the state, and is where those signs were likely placed. If he uses that .308 on someone's tires as suggested, he'll just end up in jail. You can't use a rifle to "scare off" someone without consequences. |

Sounds like aggravated assault to me and in Florida it gets you a mandatory 20 years if you fire a gun. Hope he gets the rifle, whatever he gets, because I'll be able to "borrow it" on my trips out there...though he said ammo was not cheap. Typically you can get 7.62x51/.308 for around half a buck a round (brass) but if you want the good stuff it is a buck or more. That chinese/russian steel is cheaper but I will not put it in my M1A. I still have a bunch of military surplus that I got for 33 cents a round. It shoots very well. |

Usually the state owns 30-40 feet from the centerline of the road. That is even true in little neighborhood streets. It is 33 feet (from C/L) in front of my house. If I wanted, I could make the county mow the first ~10 feet of my yard. It was the same in Clinton. I found that out when I wanted to widen my driveway. I ended up making it 25' wide on my part and the existing single lane in the ROW. |

The liberals are stashing guns and ammo while their leaders are trying their best to gun grab from honest citizens. I wonder how many liberals own stock in gun companies and do their anti-second amendment **** just to drive up demand. The gun stocks are way down since Trump won. I bet ammo will get cheaper too in the short term. One of my Page County, Virginia buddies out there by the Shenandoah, a guy who is completely non-political, says he is planning to buy a .308 rifle to scare off the "assholes who put Trump yard signs on his property along the state highway without permission." I don't think he'll shoot any of them, but I'm guess their pick-me-up truck tires might be targeted if he catches them. Hope he gets the rifle, whatever he gets, because I'll be able to "borrow it" on my trips out there...though he said ammo was not cheap. Oh hell, it would be worth it to shoot out the enemy's tires, no?Snerk! -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Sounds like aggravated assault to me and in Florida it gets you a mandatory 20 years if you fire a gun. Hope he gets the rifle, whatever he gets, because I'll be able to "borrow it" on my trips out there...though he said ammo was not cheap. Typically you can get 7.62x51/.308 for around half a buck a round (brass) but if you want the good stuff it is a buck or more. That chinese/russian steel is cheaper but I will not put it in my M1A. I still have a bunch of military surplus that I got for 33 cents a round. It shoots very well. ..... I shot a. Bunch of steel in my m1-garrand. It worked pretty good. But I made sure to clean the barrel to get out any redefine of spent powder. Even though it was supposed to be safe, I still didn't trust it's "cleanliness " as of to say.., |

I was out of town for a few days and returned to find his postal money order for our election bet. I wasn't convinced that it would happen so I sent John the money I "owed" him in advance. It will go to a great cause that might bring a tear to Harry's eye. I'll leave it to John if he wants to fill in the blanks. You didn't 'owe' me anything. It was a gracious gift to go towards a gift I plan to give an old Army veteran (a few years older than me, anyway). He served two tours in Vietnam, lost his job when his company folded, and is now living with his son and getting only Social Security. He loves shooting, especially my Kimber .45. We go at least every two weeks. He had left his guns, including a Colt M1911, with a son in Washington whose house was broken into. The guns were stolen along with all the other valuable stuff. He needs a gun. I'd been looking at some .45's with him in mind and have settled on the Ruger SR1911, which will run about $675. When I mentioned this to Alex, he immediately offered to help buy the gift, using the proceeds from his bet with Harry. Harry probably would have donated the money anyway...maybe...out of the goodness of his heart. Harry, thanks for coming through on your bet. Alex, thank you too! I've not ordered the gun yet. Waiting to see if the Trump election will cause prices to drop a bit. Lots of dealers really stocked up expecting Hillary to win. Harry's money will be well spent! Yesterday a golf buddy who has a huge garden came over to pick up some leaves (about 30 bags - mulched) for his garden. We got the pickup loaded and came in for some coffee. He is a true blue liberal, said he stayed in bed for three days after the election. We had a bit of discussion about the Washington Post and CNN and the advantages of using Google News as a home page. Anyway, we started talking guns. He's wanting a small 9mm which he can operate. He's 84 now and pulling the slide back on his .45 is getting hard. He's got one of the old Colt Commanders. During the discussion, I mentioned my buddy Carmen, and told him about my plan.
