    When I was an LEO, it happened but not so much any more. That doesn't mean I don't want to protect my hearing, why the **** would you NOT protect your hearing???

    Only takes one time to make you deaf.

    What do you have against suppressors? Do you think they make shots actually silent like its a movie or something?

    Ya I know, different worlds, my generation over prepares and never wants. The youngers rely on their handlers to prepare and protect and hope they never let them want..

    Because the politicians refuse to harden the schools. Because without those dead kids, there wouldn't be any reason to push gun control.

    I need an AR so I can outgun the bad guys. I need 5 in case the 4 of them go down in a firefight.

    I'll tell you fact, when push comes to shove, all them folks you hold dear in Washington will trample over their base to get to high ground! Believe anything less and risk being a fool!!

    When was the last you faced food shortages and prices like we see today in such a shorty time ;) I think the smart ones would be preparing, I mean how obvious of signs does it take?

    The schools haven't been secured. That's a fact.

    Dead kids give the anti-gunners more political power. That's a fact.

    Feel free to prove either of them wrong. I ****ing dare ya.

    The only thing I have against suppressors is, like I said, how many shots do you need. I always like "The Deer Hunter " philosophy....one shot.
    No, pretty sure it takes more than one. Unless it's the last one.

    No a build your own is a 100% lower. Its been drilled out etc. An 80% hasn't been drilled out all the way and so cannot accept the parts that make it qualify (sort of but not really in the case of AR15s. Which is ****ing hilarious by the way) under the definition of 'firearm".
    Using a drill press and a dremmel and some other tools I'll finish the work, making an actual functional lower that THEN is a 'build your own'.
    This is more like a partially manufacture your own.

    Why the **** would I do that? I ****ing live here. Besides the market is ****ing insane right now, I'm not buying. When it pops? Different duck.

    Suppressors just make the sound of the shot not quite loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. If you have to unexpectedly shoot, or if you don't want to wander the woods unable to hear much of anything, suppressors are perfectly valid for the "deer hunter" philosophy of one shot.
    FFS they were invented to suppress duck hunting shotguns initially.

    Go look up a decibel chart and come back to me. 1 shot from a deer rifle unprotected WILL damage your hearing, immediately and permanently. More will make it WORSE but one is enough.

    Let me think......I'm trying to remember the last time we had a global economy with an insane president in charge who made light of a global pandemic that screwed the supply chain and then his buddy decided to invade a country.
    That would be never.

    The pandemic was due to Chinese incompetence! See you still refuse to place blame where blame lay :)

    I’m looking at adding an AR to my 13 gun collection. Must likely also an AK after that just to say I have it.

    IT'S A F***ING SCHOOL!! How can the right blame everything BUT guns!! Sure, lets build armed camps to send out kids to learn....that's a SOLUTION?!!
    Probably, because they are the only ones trying to make sensible solutions. THAT'S a fact.

    Yeah, bird hunting does take more shots though.

    I don't blame Trump for a world pandemic. I blame Trump for the million deaths in the US.

    Hiram Maxim was a bird hunter, so tooling around he made something for that.

    It doesn't mean it has no relevant use elsewhere. In fact, ALL firearms should be suppressed, integrally suppressed preferably. You can thank the NFA for why its not.
