I'd have to agree, the owner should be around at least once a week. Owning a forum comes with responsibility, if you cannot meet those responsibilities then sell it or take down.

Heck, just give it a few weeks to cool down. Throw out some feed and be good to go for July.

With the exception of the age restriction, those laws are already on the books. Many cities already require firearms to be in a safe, we haven't been able to own anything over 10round mags for a long time. You can't buy a firearm for your cousin or outside immediate family for a long time. So in reality, that article is about as informative as a will written on a piece of TP with no notary signature. I understand what it is, and I'd have to agree that this will stop ammo from being sold here because manufacturers aren't going to make special lots just for any state requiring it. I'm still curious about this license thing and how that going to play out if passed. Are us current owners going to have to jump through even more hoops to keep our rifles? Cost of this license? Is it for only those who buy AR's going forward? I was in a shop a little while ago to pick up some ammo, there were already a few guys in there to buy AR's. Two of the sales people explaining to the customers what's good to go and what isn't stated they expect to sell probably 100 AR's today. Get ready for a lot more shortages again. Thank goes out to the left once again to create chaos and drive prices way up again.

On Wednesday?

Looks like the age limit restriction made it to the turncoats' desk, and we all know she'll sign it faster than lightning. What isn't clear is the microstamping and license requirement for semi auto rifles. If the license crap passes, what does that mean for existing owners?

My post wasn't set in your direction, not at all. It was set at the members we have here who don't seem to ever go outdoors, and I get a feeling do not hunt. Some are more than willing to post up pictures of vacations and at work, outdoors doing anything is a different story. Those member numbers seem to be growing, while those of us who do actually leave the house are coming here less and less. I'm not in any way saying there isn't need for some concern, but it just seems some folks live to be angry or riled up over something all the time. It\s not a healthy way to live life. I spent last week up north with my wife getting my butt kicked by fish, a little bushcrafting, and just having a blast being in a cabin on a 14 mile lake. I put my phone on airplane mode and only used it to take pictures and shoot video. I wasn't up there to hunt, but saw the only turkey I put eyes on for the month of May. Then I came home and spent three days messing with friction fire.

I don't like all the BS the uneducated Left wing anti-gun jackasses keep trying to pass, nor do I fool myself into thinking there's not a chance some might actually go through. I just refuse to get my sphincter all tightened up every time there's a whisper in the wind. I refuse to let this stuff consume me 24/7 365, life's too short to spend all day and night worrying, and emailing or calling local reps does about as much good as using a piece of paper to chop down a tree. Then there's the mental illness factor, but who decides what that mental illness is? As I have said in the past, and others have also stated recently, a part of that decision would come down to medications people take. So someone who has to take antianxiety medication would be treaded as someone suffering from depression, the medications for both are the same. There's really no such thing as common sense gun laws or control. Because that term can be so loosely interpreted, it can be twisted into opinions, which is all gun laws are to begin with, just a bunch of uneducated dipshits telling others what they can and cannot do/have. Even Biden hasn't been very successful on his promises to ban certain firearms, or at least put massive restrictions on them. Even many on the left are getting sick of all this, and seeing far more Dem’s are now gun owners since the pandemic started, they don't want a lot of these restrictions either. I would bet dollars to donuts, a lot of new gun owners on the left who bought AR style rifles for home defense now see the stupidity of the SAFE Act. I would also bet a lot of them are now rebel outlaws, with those AR’s set up the way they are supposed to be set up. If downstate would be separated from upstate and have two NY's, upstate gun owners most likely wouldn't be dealing with any of this crap. No one wants to point the finger where it belongs on anything, and the NYC area, and it's close surrounding liberals get to tell the rest of NY what they can do and have. Then we have to examine the NRA, who's one job is to protect the 2ND Amendment, and now do nothing. If they want to cry about needing more funds, maybe the guys in that organization making 6-figure salaries should take a pay cut to uphold our rights as gun owners.

I'll just leave this here: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/31/house-democrats-aim-to-pass-gun-control-legislation-by-early-june.html

I think I might need to start carrying a bigger knife when I have to go to Ravena for quick stop shopping, and maybe carry a backup.

That's not exactly what I meant. I meant with gas prices how they are driving and dropping that money was getting beyond frustrating for a little bird. I enjoy deer hunting more, so I'm a bit more willing to spend more for gas. During the Fall I really only have hunting going on, so it's easier to justify the added cost. During the Spring, I like to get out hiking more and fishing, so it came down to giving things up I didn't want to for the month of May. I don't drink anymore, so my new vice is being outdoors as much as possible. I don't plan to go north and spend touristy prices for gas to hunt a turkey.

Been a little nuts. For a deer that I'd get a decent amount of meat is one thing, a bird I'll only get maybe two meals out of is crazy.

I'm done chasing these birds for the season. Me 0 / Birds 7. Gas $110. I'm going north next week, and I think I'll only be taking the fishing gear.

Lick its butt. If it turns into a busty princess, you win. If it turns into a prince, you loose. If you start tripping out, trap a bunch and sell 'em. If nothing happens, don't tell anyone you licked a froads ass.

@blackbeltbill, a bunch of us have tried to help you with taking pictures to post, so maybe a visual aide is in order. Top good, bottom bad.

I contradicted nothing. At 18 years old, that guy knew exactly what he was doing, and he could have come from a rich family with great parents and still committed this. Have a look around, not all the dimwits who commit these mass shootings had bad parenting. So again, I ask at what age do the parents stop being blamed for their children's atrocities? Everyone gets ticked off when a gun company gets blamed when a criminal uses a gun to commit murder, but it's OK to blame a parent when things go south with their adult aged kid?? C'mon man! If you go to the doctor for gall bladder removal, and he removes your penis, you don't blame the medical school, you blame the DR. I get so tired of repeating myself around here, this comes across as a retaliation crime. If groups A&B want to do bad things, other groups who are getting tired of it are going to start doing bad things too. In real life, if you kick a hornet's nest long enough, eventually those hornets are going to do something about it. I don't agree with it, or like it, but I have enough smarts to see a duck for what it is. You want to blame someone, blame the asshat that committed the crime.

^^^^ This! Not only is he looking good on paper for lowering taxes and holding dirty politicians liable for their actions, he comes from a pretty pro gun area.

If I kill a turkey, I'm going full moon with the bird for the picture. Then every time you call me an ass in the future, I'm going to post that pic over and over.

Look, I feel bad for the families of the lives that were lost. That said, here's the bottom line, that kid was old enough to know right from wrong no matter who influenced him. The mental health finger is just another blame sometimes, just like mommy and daddy issues. I'm not saying this isn't the case sometimes, but it's being used as a crutch as much as blaming the gun for the shooter's crime. Mommy didn't let me breastfeed till I was 40, so I'm going to go insane and commit an atrocity, or, daddy made me sit on his lap till I was 50, so I'm going to build a pipe bomb. The issue is this word is too soft and lenient about things like this. Yes, parenting should be the #1 source of preventing these crimes, but at what age is a kid supposed to start acting like an adult and assuming responsibility for their own actions? 16, 18, 20, 30, 50, 100?

You like to fact-check, so yes, in a very direct way. Obama was a martyr, and spewed reverse racism all the time. The current state of racism lays largely on that guy's shoulders. He was the top dog and was giving the push for riots (let's not call them protests, they are riots), and was a driving force for what the BLM and ANTIFA factions have evolved into. He was for defunding police and the military and had a big part of the huge surge that has taken. He tried to make the present day seem like hundreds of years ago when people of color were being held back by the white man, when in fact he of all people was the President of the United States and should have been pushing for "minorities" to get an education and make something of themselves not incite riots. He is a huge part of erasing the history of this country. I could go on.......... Right there taking Obamas sausage while grabbing his ankles and yelling "Give it to me you stallion!" was the current POS in charge, so things have devolved into a race war. I don't care how anyone tries to spin it, that's just the reality of the USA right now. As a side note, it's funny how the left wing nut cases won't accept these facts, but have a hard on that Trump incited the storming of the capital. I really don't have anything else to say. You simply cannot remove the blinders from people who have glued them to their face.

Actually, that line from Blazing Saddles was a spoof as it was originally from The Treasure of Sierra Madre in 1948.

I don't mean to be harsh, but this is flat out the result of the race war Obama started. You'd have to be pretty blind to not know things like this were bound to start happening. I've been saying for years this sort of thing was coming, and here it is. Guns aren't to blame. If you're going to call it mental illness, then start calling ANTIFA and the BLM "movements" the result of mental illness. Some people want a civil war, and it looks like they will get it sooner than later. Wait until the abortion rights activists really get going. They already warned they are going to get militant with their "demonstrations" and "protests". It's a huge shit sandwich and guess what! We're all getting a bite, whether we want it or not!

A month ago it was down close to $4 again here. Now it's back up to $4.69-4.89. It's ridiculous. The dipstick in charge of NYS was supposed to put some wort of freeze on gas, but it takes effect in June. I guess we'll see what happens.

I called it around 10. Black flies getting between my glasses were starting to annoy me enough I was ready to tag one of them little nasty buggers. This is already getting frustrating, can't afford to keep driving 20 miles one way for nothing.

At least fishing you catch something, even if it's just bait. Two and a half hours sitting might be time to do a loop up around to the field I was avoiding for this morning.

Switched from a wood striker to the acrylic. Humidity made the wood not work. There's a crow that's decided to piss me off and is making a racket 15yards from me. If it was in season....
