Biden Demands Consumers Buy 50% EV by 2030

If im not mistaken electric cars pollute the environment more than gasoline cars when you consider how they're made. But i have to say some of them are pretty cool. -

Prayers sent for you and yours. -
Fox News is the best
phantom replied to Chef's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
All the major media outlets are corrupt probably been this way for a long time longer than you think it's just now with the internet they can't hide it anymore like they used to. Fox seems to be the least corrupt at the moment but maybe that's just my bias talking. I try to watch 2 or 3 different news outlets if I can just to get a better sense of what's going on. you really can't trust just one news Outlet . They all lie or exaggerate stories all the time every one of them . -
I'm more impressed seeing someone try to shoot a deer off state land then anything else like in a place like the Adirondacks , then a deer shot off a corn field some where that being said anything with 8 points and up is nice , is a trophy to me but a 4 point or doe off state land is a trophy to me also in my mind . Then again the longer it takes you to kill a deer the more that deer any deer becomes a trophy to you. Like what others have said its it's subjective.

There not to knowledgeable on guns but you know if they become common place thats probably what will happen . Especially if someone uses one of those in a crime.

Oh definitely he had other heath problems starting with his weight

Was on fox news on satlite radio this morning thats exactly what they said he tested postive for covid and his condition rapidly worsened and he died . Im sure he had other heath problems that guy partied hard in his life .

Yeah for fat rock store that's pretty good age usually they drop dead by 60 from all the drugs and boozz .

Just heard this on radio all they said is meatloaf got covid and his his condition rapidly got worse and he died .

Hope they do a good job bringing it back to life . Legacy, tradition and American-made are all words that describe American gunmakers Ruger and Marlin so it’s fitting that Sturm, Ruger and Co. was the company that purchased Marlin Firearms assets from the then-bankrupt Remington Outdoor Company in 2020. Ruger’s goal: to make Marlin better than ever—and it’s doing just that. Today it announced the unveiling of its first-ever Ruger-made Marlin rifle: the classic lever-action Marlin 1895 SBL (Stainless Big Loop), packed with upgrades and innovations hunters and shooters will appreciate. Ruger’s big undertaking involved delivering both new and improved features on the Marlin 1895 SBL backed by Ruger’s reputation for rugged, reliable firearms. The first step was to get Marlin’s centerfire lever-actions back on the market by December 2021 with immediate focus on the 1895 SBL in .45-70 Goverment. But while Ruger purchased Marlin’s equipment, rights, design, branding, inventory and machinery, the process entailed far more than the flip of a switch. “Our biggest thing was to meet or exceed [expectations] in catering to Marlin aficionados,” said Ruger Public Relations Manager Paul Pluff. “We added better machines, rebuilt fixtures and created new ones.” As for how Ruger can sell the quality product it sells for a fair price, note that without doing this, in the long run, Rugers—and now Marlins—would cost more or not work as well. As Pluff explained, “Every part was reviewed with a fine-tooth comb, understanding that removing material at stress points tightens tolerances. Can we do it better? What will this cost? How tight must we create every part to make Marlin better than before?” I got to test the rifle on a hunt with Pluff and a few friends two weeks ago in Texas with outfitter Steve Jones of Backcountry Hunts. We had the option of chasing a Carmen Mountain whitetail, an aoudad or a mule deer using Hornady LEVERevolution ammunition, designed specifically to provide higher ballistic coefficients for lever guns, thanks to the Flex Tip technology of its FTX and MonoFlex bullets. I was not surprised at how my whitetail dropped at 115 yards, considering the rifle’s accuracy and the .45-70's terminal performance. It was the same with Pluff’s whitetail at 200 yards. While other chamberings are superior at longer ranges, I thought of the thick, brushy areas particularly back East where hunters are lucky to see out to 200 yards, and certainly they will put the fast-handling rifle to good use. While Ruger is continuing with Marlin’s forged receivers, the first big difference is that the 1:20-inch twist-rate barrels are being produced using the cold-hammer-forging process for which Ruger is known (versus the button- and broach-rifling methods). This aids accuracy and consistency, and barrels better handle heat and stress, improving barrel life. During production, the “hammers” pound on the barrel as a mandrel inside the hole of the blank creates rifling with the desired twist rate, as rifling lands and grooves are formed into the surface in reverse relief. (Worth noting, cold-hammer forging is part of the reason the Ruger American rifle is so accurate—especially for the money.) The fact the rifle’s 19-inch barrel has a cap for a sound suppressor is also a big deal. Explaining the importance of the end cap, Pluff noted, “The Marlin lever-action 1895 SBL comes with a finely-machined barrel end cap that not only completes the attractive polished aesthetics but protects the 11/16X24 TPI barrel threads, which will allow for the addition of a suppressor or muzzle brake of the owner’s choice.” Pluff also emphasized how heat-treating critical stainless parts prior to machining creates a better product, though it changes machining “tack times” (the number of pieces that can be produced per hour—something Ruger has down pat). For background, tack time changes the variance rate. The more overhead you have and the less you can produce, the higher cost of the gun. Addressing engagement with the sear, hammer notches are now cut with a wire-EDM (electrical discharge machining) machine, which permits cuts that can’t be made on a CNC (computer numerical controlled) machine, such as those inside the receiver. The result is probably the most rugged Marlin rifle ever made. A heated electrical wire melts away excess materials, ideal for operations that require tight tolerances. Usually, “EDM-ing” creates a finer part. In contrast, Remington used an old broaching machine to cut notches, leading to inconsistent trigger pulls from gun to gun. The previous trigger pull of 5 to 7 pounds was replaced with a 6-to 6.5-pound trigger that breaks clean and hard. The rifle feeds easily and the big loop lever is nice for people like me whose hands tend to need gloves, even on warmer days. In addition, the Ruger-made Marlin features are: Tumbling of parts that interact with one another to make a smoother action and remove burrs, and they are gauged at every step to meet specs Softening of the sharp edges on the lever, trigger, hammer and loading port Improved machining to create a cleaner surface prior to polishing so there is less sanding and polishing of metal to remove machine marks Heat-treating of all stainless-steel parts prior to machining Improved thread timing on the barrel and receiver Improved barrel torque process is more precise, providing for straight front and rear sights every time, The chamber has fewer parts to machine. The receiver and “finger lever” slugs are heat-treated first, and the finger lever is machined to fit together better. Ruger provided the following overall specs: Chambered in .45-70 Gov’t Polished stainless steel with a 19-inch barrel with a threaded muzzle (11/16-inch X 24 threads) Black-and-gray laminate stock Six-shot tumbler magazine (total capacity is seven) Low-profile HiVIZ optic front site with tritium ring and HiVIZ rail with fully adjustable rear sight ideal for fast target acquisition and follow-up shots Big loop lever Forged machined receiver for added strength and durability Updated nickel-plated bolt with spiral flutes that add a distinct look and make for a smoother, improved action Thicker recoil pad to minimize felt recoil Weight: 7.35 pounds Crossbolt safety MSRP: $1,399 https://www.americanhunter.org/content/ruger-unveils-new-lever-action-marlin-1895-sbl-rifle/

Even the dead voted last election lol

Maybe he is one of those government informants trying to intrap conservatives into saying something violent on here by antagonizing them . Don't be surprised this Administration and the Deep State have been doing this stuff for years and it's just coming out now. Thats not a conspiracy theory that's a fact. The problem is 99.9% of conservatives are just nonviolent and just want to be left alone , so they just wasting their time . Just imagine if they did the same with leftist it be a different story . The thing at the Capital was a setup for example .

Oh wow is he Clueless then, I just got over it and let me tell you I can so see someone really out of shape with bad lungs just having a heart attack from this bad cold that I just got over . My blood oxgen level was down to 89 at one point and my blood pressure went up to like 140 145 from my normal 120 level from before it hit me . Now what do you think it does to someone with high blood blood pressure when they're not sick and dirty smoke filled lungs . If it dont kill them they are taking a trip to the Hospital I would imagine that's what happens. My fat neighbor got it and they went to the hospital for treatment hopefully she will be okay but still landing in the hospital got to suck. She got very fat last year or so i noticed probably from the lock downs. I belive that is what made it worse for her .

Why because he likes Rocky Mountain oysters? I don't hold that against the guy , Maybe the rabbits by him eat something that makes them taste bad who knows. Everyone got there own tastes i guess . -
