I can recall when more people hunted with station wagons than pick up trucks. Probably because you could fit up to 6 hunters in them and still have inside room for all of their gear. Then people started getting Jeep Wagoneers, because they were like having a 4WD station wagon.

No, his tolerance of idiots did.

The storm looks to be heading to eastern Long Island now. Not going to affect NYC much and here in the Catskills, today was a beautiful sunny day with no wind. Maybe some rain tomorrow, but nothing like they were calling for.

Mike, some people can't see the demons when they bite them in their nuts.

The founders would have tarred and feathered Biden and been shooting by now. I think Democrats know most American's tolerance of their tyranny is thinning, so they are coming for the guns and ammo as much as they can, while they can.

I remember buying my first shotgun at Montgomery Ward. Sears had guns in stock too. I also bought a Ruger M77 in 30-06 at a Hermann's in a mall and walked through the mall with it to take it home. Nobody even blinked an eye at such things years ago.

This is turning out to be a very prophetic post. LOL!

A Ruger Mini-30 also uses 7.62x39 Russian ammo. Come to think of it, there are many bolt rifles that are chambered for it now as well.

HR 4953 a bill proposing to treat all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns with detachable magazines as items regulated under the National Firearms Act or NFA. They therefore will have to be registered and taxed.

And when the Russian ammo is not available anymore, what do you expect will happen to the price of the cheap America stuff?

Some of the best ammo in the US comes from other countries. Norma is a perfect example.

What about American shooters who don't hunt? Need they pay for expensive ammo to punch holes in paper? How about all the Americans involved in the business of importing and selling inexpensive ammo to American shooters that will all be out of a job now? How many jobs will Biden have to kill in America before stupid people stop supporting him?

Dirt Time is capable of the most convoluted, tortured, irrational. illogical thinking I have ever seen. He really has no idea how the American economy works and doesn't seem capable of learning. How is it he can support Biden sanctioning Russia, but not China? Quote: "it's a restriction/sanction on a country that does horrible things to innocent people." China is far worse than Russia in this respect. You do not force Americans to boost the economy through government regulation. It's done by companies that sell a better product that people willingly pay for. If everything goes up in price in America, that doesn't make the economy better. It makes it worse because nobody can afford anything. That's how Democrats ruin the economy. Wages do not go up to match price increases for goods. I really have a very low tolerance for stupidity and the economy would do better if everyone did.

Some people cannot comprehend the issue. Choosing not to buy something is freedom of choice. Not being able to buy something because the government says you can't is Marxist totalitarian tyranny. The left is trying to put all the US manufacturers of guns and ammo out of business with lawsuits. If they succeed and imports are banned, guess what? 40% of all available ammo right now comes from Russia. All ammo prices are about to skyrocket. Steel ammo keeps the price of brass ammo low because it offers an option. That's competition. This move will hurt US consumers more than it will hurt Russia. It just cuts off a supply of less expensive ammo. But Biden actually wants to increase prices on everything the base of his political opposition buys. Meanwhile he uses their tax dollars to pay off loans for his base.

Back in the 60's if you hunted from a "tree stand" it was a wooden platform you built in a tree. It was nice not having to carry a climber into the woods and you could be much quieter. Of course if you didn't maintain it, you were risking your life in it, so there's that.

"The Taliban have repeatedly expressed their hope to develop good relations with China, and that they look forward to China's participation in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan. We welcome this. China respects the right of the Afghan people to independently determine their own destiny and is willing to continue to develop ... friendly and cooperative relations with Afghanistan." —China foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying

"The president whose empathy is endlessly touted now sounds cold and dismissive when asked about Afghans' desperately crowding into American planes or falling to their deaths. All of the available evidence indicates that the president ignored the warnings of his foreign-policy team, withdrew the armed forces before evacuating the civilians, gave up Bagram Air Base, and now is in a large-scale foreign crisis that is mostly the result of his own choices. ... Something is wrong with President Biden, and we are all being asked to pretend we don't notice." —Jim Geraghty

Douglas Andrews No country worth its salt does mail-in voting. France — France — banned it in 1975 because the French knew it meant rampant fraud. In 2005, a bipartisan report from the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, concluded, "Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud." And no less a leftist organ than The New York Times sounded that same alarm in 2012. And yet last year, we allowed Democrats to make massive changes to the way we decide our elections, and to thereby perpetrate that very fraud on the nation. We allowed them to institute a chaotic and largely unregulated bulk-mail balloting scheme across that land. It's the COVID!, they shrieked. And we let 'em get away with it. And now, by way of the train wreck known as the Biden administration, we're paying the price. If you or any of your friends think mail-in voting is largely reliable, think again. As The Daily Signal reports: Judging from the relatively comfortable 306-232 electoral margin, it would appear that Joe Biden won the 2020 election convincingly. Appearances, though, can be deeply deceiving. But for 43,000 votes spread across just three key states — Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin — Donald Trump would still be president. Remember: More than 155 million votes were cast. That means a single vote for every 3,600 votes cast decided the 2020 election. Think about those numbers the next time a Democrat crows about Joe Biden having won in a landslide. We can also localize those numbers to help drive them home. As the two-page report points out, "President Joe Biden carried Arizona by 10,457 votes, yet [the state's] Maricopa County reportedly sent ballots to 110,092 outdated or wrong addresses." What are the odds that our friends the Democrats will lose even a wink of sleep over the fact that 15 million votes were unaccounted for? Furthermore, why is it that they keep trying to pass HR 1, the deceitfully dubbed For the People Act? Why are they so desperate to pass a bill that would systematize electoral fraud, a bill that Texas Senator Ted Cruz called "the single most dangerous piece of legislation we've seen in decades"? Earlier this week, the House was at it again, this time with HR 4, the equally deceptive John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. It's simple, really: The fewer restrictions on voting, the easier it is for Democrats to cheat. This is especially true in the big cities, whose corrupt political machines and whose ballot-counting processes are invariably controlled by Democrats. As Joseph Stalin might've put it: You silly Trump voters decide nothing. We who count the votes decide everything. Cartoonist Thomas Nast understood this a century and a half ago, when he depicted Boss Tweed, the notoriously corrupt leader of New York City's Tammany Hall Democrats, leaning on a voting stand and saying, "As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?" "These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail voting needs to be a one-year experiment," said J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which put together the report. Joe Biden may have "won" the 2020 election, but he's certainly made a mess of things since then. Indeed, millions of the "81 million" folks who "voted" for him are already suffering from buyer's remorse. In many cases, they're even rolling over in their graves.

The Henry's with the side gate still have tube loading and unloading. Is that .35 still for sale? I already have one from 68 or I'd be buying it.

I remember when some of the gas stations in town ran big buck contests and hunters were allowed to hang their deer on a pole hung at the gas station. We used to pull in to see the deer hanging there. There were 10 or 20 deer hanging and many were really big. Back then, everyone aged their deer too. A big buck needed to be hung for at least a week in the right temperatures.

Seriously? Who controls the Dept of Justice right now? Who is the Atty General of the US right now? The full power of the entire US government, AND the corrupt biased main stream media, is being abused to put a stop to any of these facts ever seeing the light of day. Are you aware subpoenas were ordered in AZ to turn over the passwords to the voting machines and they were ignored? Do you have any clue how much obstruction is happening in these audits? I swear some people cannot think for themselves or search out any info on their own. They all believe what they are told to believe. I'm tired of explaining things to people who disregard anything they are told not to believe, rather than verify it for themselves. The 2020 election was stolen and your government is making sure it stays that way.

Once again a post ignoring the facts and trying to misdirect the conversation, because they can't refute the facts. You are obviously not paying any attention to the actual state audits and all of the leftist obstruction going on. The audits already have a ton of evidence to prove the election was swayed by the fraudulent votes. 15 million ballots being discussed here? How many did Biden "win" with? If this doesn't concern someone, they're a die hard leftist and Biden lover. I would sooner be the cheapest whore in a Bangkok cat house than be one of them.

An absentee ballot is what you're talking about. That is not the same as a "Mail in" ballot. Absentee ballots require a request from a registered voter and a signature from both the voter and a witness. Mail in ballots were just sent out willy nilly and anyone could've sent it back, even without a signature, and they were counted. That's the difference between "Count every vote" and "Count every legal vote." More and more proof keeps surfacing to prove the 2020 election was full of fraud. It was stolen.

Almost 15 million mail-in ballots were unaccounted for in the 2020 presidential election, and more than a million more ballots were undeliverable, according to a new study. https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/08/19/15-million-votes-in-2020-election-not-accounted-for-report-finds/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=ODI0LU1IVC0zMDQAAAF_Aby6M7RugqptEuMXgSaAM5FJlvbW8yRZt0Idop9e_LAXSXZrBtHJJBjXw3G8KpDytR_KmzunTw-vFuaH3jrR7Xxd2aT4yBPWlY_viEssyx5YJr0

Since Biden was elected over 1 million people have crossed our borders illegally. Terrorists are surely among them. And Biden has done that to allow illegals to come in and be given amnesty for votes. Biden doesn't want to bring the people in Afghanistan here because they won't vote for leftist Democrats, especially since that's who just threw them to the wolves. Don't forget Biden closed Gitmo and all of those terrorists are now back in the field itching to kill Americans. Seems some of the posts here supporting Biden, not the one I'm quoting BTW, confuse the folks Biden is helping with the ones he's killing. How was Trump's approach to Afghanistan withdrawal different from Biden's? Something Biden still obviously does not understand. Trump set specific goals that had to be met before different stages of the withdrawal occurred. Biden set a specific date for the withdrawal. An explanation missing from almost all the news coverage.
