    But at 3,000-5,000 rds. per minute who, except the military, can afford the ammo? I would like to go to Knob Creek and shoot one though! Wonder what that would cost?

    Prices used to be listed for rentals and ammo. Haven't looked lately.

    All the anti gun loosers who didn't think anyone needs a gun because the police will protect you are finding out how well their gun laws are working.
    They ain't doing shit besides keeping law abiding people from buying guns.

    thing is... sadly... they will probably still vote dem...

    see it in those that ran away from their state due to how things are in that state to a new state...

    and then proceed to elect the same party/politician types in their new state...

    Ummm.........Ed, just out of curiosity, have you had a mental stability check recently? Or maybe in the last several years? You seem a lil shellshocked.

    So, what I am hearing you say is you are living the dream of Hotel California by the Eagles.
    "We are all just prisoners here. Of our own device" and "You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave"
    Maybe the Eagles were talking about you in their song.

    No I didn't say I couldn't leave. I just meant it makes no sense while the Coronavirus crisis is on to move to another locale where the same crisis could be. I will wait until the Coronavirus crisis is over before I move. I don't see why that is so hard to understand. Where I live I have a great HMO and a great dentist and that to me is important.

    Things like shut downs have nothing to do with the survival during the pandemic .If you have no job or financial resources how do you pay rent or pay bills? the alternative is to become homeless. Homelessness is the cutting edge of survival in the most meager of situations. These are not thriving, they are slowly dieing.
    People are thinking they can simply run to the woods and survive by hunting. 200 years ago that might be possible but even then people needed each other for things they could not produce themself.
    The only reason there is a shut down is to slow the inevitable spread of the disease and not over run the hospitals.
    The likely hood of getting the disease is still eminent, we are only post posing the inevitable.

    ED needs a ghost shotgun,The kind that can be found at gun shows...Nothing says I'm about to blow you're guts out like the sound of a pump shotgun being racked...Or he could just download that sound of a racking pump and put speakers at his door?

    He says he's got a sound system that would do it. Might even have one on CD.

    @ED GEiN should just order a cap-n-ball revolver. Mr. UPS will deliver right to his door. No background checks, no mental stability check. Gotta love antiques.
