Not sure that's true. I have seen info in the past stating they do need some time, as stated above about 30 minutes, before they can stand and walk.

The point I see being made by Greg54's post is that all of this is done incrementally. They will never stop the encroachment and demands for surrender. Anyone who looks at the history of zealots in America can see quite clearly they are never satisfied until their ultimate goal is achieved. Each minor success simply encourages them to be bolder in their actions. Every gun owner or hunter with even a rudimentary understanding of gun control in this country, should know this.

The Confederate states didn't start the war. They simply left the Union to be independent. The Union started the aggression in the civil war. The President could not accept the southern states leaving the Union. I believe if the war had not been fought, the south would've eventually realized they could not make it work and would've come back voluntarily under whatever terms were stipulated. I always felt it was wrong for the north to institute the slash and burn policy that was used as they marched through the south during the war. That was not necessary and seem to be punitive. BTW, the south doesn't believe they lost the civil war, because for them, it's still going on. P.S. I know people will say the south started to shooting at Ft Sumpter, but the history books are written by the winners. The South wanted all Union soldiers out of their country and the Union would not leave. There was Union aggression in the south that went unanswered prior to the Ft Sumpter attack. When the southern states seceded from the Union, there were still a few forts on southern soil that were manned by United States soldiers. Rather than surrender the forts, President Lincoln attempted to resupply the soldiers by sea. The Confederacy learned of Lincoln’s plans and demanded that the forts surrender under threat of force. When the U.S. soldiers refused, South Carolinians launched a bombardment of Fort Sumter in the Charleston harbor. After a 34-hour battle, the soldiers inside the fort surrendered to the Confederates. Legions of men from north and south joined with their leaders to protect their interests. The primary interest of the north was to maintain the United States as a single, undivided country.

Liberty University Commencement Speech
Rattler replied to wolc123's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Those golf outings were with world leaders or people of influence that can help America become great again. Obama golfed with leftist celebrities and Marxists. -
I just saw Belo posted something about this also.

I don't know what to make of this article, but it does point out something about deer I never knew. The rest is just jocularity. "It seems we're all going to die fairly soon, but before that happens, we need to kill all the deer." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/huppke/ct-deer-human-bones-huppke-20170508-story.html

United States History Poll
Rattler replied to EspressoBuzz's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Obama thinks there are 57 states. He also thinks he was a Constitutional Law professor. He has no understanding of US history at all, claiming Muslims built America. He doesn't think the US is a Christian nation, or was founded by men who believed in God. This just proves even a man that is a total idiot regarding US history, can be President, albeit the worst one we ever had. -
Once again proof that the left have no sense of humor when it comes to their sacred cows. .

I'll quote myself to answer this question. " I believe this is more anti-Trump propaganda to pile on to all the other leftist hatred, in an attempt to turn the country against this legitimately elected president." I do not believe it is right to criticize any attempt to have an open discussion on any topic. Open minds make good incubators for ideas and solutions. Any attempt to stifle free thought and shut it down, is the weapon of fascists. These are merely ideas being hashed out. Let them play out and wait for the proposals to be solidified. It appears the left wants to erode Trump's support from part of his biggest base, hunters and gun owners. It looks as if it is designed to play you. Hold the hatred and contempt until you know for a fact the threat is real. Anyone who sees Trump's supporters as infatuated, doesn't support attempts to improve the country. As far as Obama and his hatred for gun owners, his executive orders were real, and his schemes like "Fast & Furious" and "Operation Choke Point" were actually destroying people's lives. They weren't proposals or open minded debates. They were weapons of hatred and implements of control. They were also criticized and opposed only after implementation, not prior.

putting up the flag...
Rattler replied to philoshop's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I put up the flag to remind people we live in America. You can love it, or hate it, or leave it. Here, you're free to do all of that. Some other countries don't offer any options. -
If I were you, I'd be looking at a pump rifle rather than an auto loader. They are much easier to clean, more reliable, just as fast on game and IMO more accurate too.

The biggest issue in the election concerning the future was the US Supreme Court. If Hillary won, gun rights would've been relegated to a privilege, hunting would've been attacked even more than before and freedom and liberty would be the realm of the privileged and politically connected. The issue of federal lands is under discussion. There has been no change to date. I believe this is more anti-Trump propaganda to pile on to all the other leftist hatred, in an attempt to turn the country against this legitimately elected president. The left will stop at nothing, pull no punches and stifle no lie to achieve their goal of destroying this man, and the entire country after him. All one needs to do is look at the language used to see where the bias is. "New under-the-radar administration policies" "proposals" "potential" "could" etc.... Take a chill pill and relax.

Cruise Missles Launched
Rattler replied to greg54's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I was referring to the nation's regimes, not their populations. Their leaders and regimes were seen as either friend or foe. I'd be hard pressed to name any Muslim regime Obama thought was a foe, except for the one's he wanted to replace with more progressive ones. -

Rattler replied to greg54's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Obama found them (chemical wmd's) in Syria, where Saddam moved them to. Unfortunately, Obama relied on the honor system when Assad said he got rid of them Any fool knows they are not easily "gotten rid of". Trust, but verify. Obama seems to have given Muslims a pass every chance he got. -
Yes, but with a max charge, the cartridge's OAL is either too long for any action except a single shot, or has a much lower velocity than a 150 grain bullet at max charge of the same powder, or even a 180 bullet using a max load of the same powder in say a .30-06 Springfield. The .308 case is not friendly to heavy (long) bullets. They must take up space in the interior of the case that could be used for powder, in order to keep the round's O.A.L. within specs. They are out there, but they're designed for penetration and rely on ballistic coefficient to maintain velocity at long range. The most accurate .308 Match rounds are rarely anything but 168 grain FMJ.

There are NO GPA requirements. All that is required is a passing grade in the course. A GPA of 1.0 will pass most courses. That does give the professors extortion ability though. (If you don't please me, you don't pass and you pay the bill.) During the 60's a lot of male students were threatened with failure and possible drafting by the military, if they pissed off a prof. Why do you think so many were glad to protest the war in Nam? They didn't want to fail any classes. BTW, I also heard Cuomo has told the private colleges he is going to increase their subsidies at taxpayer expense, so they don't need to worry about losing money when enrollments fall off there.

Twist rate isn't the issue. Heavy bullets invade the powder area of the case, limiting how much of a charge it can accept.

It's the Left's way of making sure they indoctrinate as many lemmings as possible. Walter Williams: "The average American has little knowledge of the extent to which our institutions of higher learning have been infected with a spreading cancer. One aspect of that cancer is akin to the loyalty oaths of the 1940s and '50s. Professors were often required to sign statements that affirmed their loyalty to the United States government plus swear they were not members of any organizations, including the Communist Party USA, that sought the overthrow of the United States government. Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down loyalty oaths as a condition of employment in 1964. Today we're seeing the re-emergence of the mentality that gave us loyalty oaths, in the form of mandating that faculty members write 'diversity statements,' especially as part of hiring and promotion procedures. ... The fascist college trend that we are witnessing today is by no means new. As early as 1991, Yale University President Benno Schmidt warned: 'The most serious problems of freedom of expression in our society today exist on our campuses. The assumption seems to be that the purpose of education is to induce correct opinion rather than to search for wisdom and to liberate the mind.' What diversity oaths seek is to maintain political conformity among the faculty indoctrinating our impressionable, intellectually immature young people. Vladimir Lenin said, 'Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.' That's the goal of the leftist teaching agenda."

Once again Cuomo is buying votes with taxpayer money. Nothing the government provides is ever free. People are really stupid. http://dailysignal.com/2017/04/11/the-true-costs-of-new-yorks-free-college-program/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpOaFlqZzNZbVkwWmpJeSIsInQiOiJ3d1wvMmlIYWlKWDQ1WCtKWDNqVXlHR2xBVWpyQXRWWHRycWdNXC9ObURlbEozNnhrcCtDSU1xdkdhbCtqa3d1RG5PRWNMMTJ1blhmeXFVQzd4d1wvVTBwNkhPdFJNTElMajJLVTF2UmhlelJGRnI4N2F4VG9wN09TWmczVGJSN3VZcSJ9

Trump has pissed off a lot of people who voted for him based on his "America First" pledge. they don't want America to be the world's police force. The other thing that seems weird is, too many Democrats, like Schumer and Hillary, support it. That has to be proof it was the wrong thing to do.
