Thank you for the bingo. That's a good example of excessive taxation for things the government deems not good for us, just like guns and ammo. Ammo bans, restrictions, taxes are all on the horizon. Just further gun control through any and all means. Cuomo could care less how expensive ammo gets, the more unaffordable the better; and if you can still afford it that's good too because of the taxes. Excessive taxes on ammo to him is a win-win situation. Post WWII, you used to be able to buy firearms through the mail, no FFL, USPS right to your door, and military surplus rifles were dirt cheap. After Kennedy assassination this was ended. Consider too, WWII veterans were considered heroes, Vietnam veterans vilified, and now veterans are considered potential domestic terrorists. This shows just how far America has fallen.

I love when non-hunters think about how much $ we save by hunting. Hunting makes no economic sense as a means toward reducing your food costs. The same is true for fishing, especially if you own a boat.

I have some 20 round boxes of Remington 30-06 Core Loct with price stickers of $9.99 from a no longer existing big box store. I'm guessing same time frame.

I found this tidbit amusing. He states in the article " Despite a level of condemnation by the media that dwarfs anything to which Nixon, Clinton, Hoover or Grant were subjected,..." The author is Dick Morris. Dick Morris is a former adviser to President Bill Clinton [states this at bottom of page]. I don't recall condemnation of Clinton in the media, except on FOX News. He should have left Clinton off the list.

I hope this works out for you. These aftermarket stocks are not always drop-in and may need some fitting.

You may be right, but regulate and states banning are two different things. There are already vendors that will not sell/ship to NY. Our government, Federal, State, and local pass many laws beyond their authority and unconstitutional which stand until they're challenged and overturned in a court verdict. For arguments sake here, let's say NYS passes a law banning online ammos sales, do you think Congress is going to step in to stop it?

Not blind at all, and you are reading too much into this. I never once compared the two or mentioned moral fabric. I don't defend or compare DJT or Biden. None of these politicians are saints! I am pragmatic. I care about policies and how they affect me, I compare that. Nation and world markedly better off? I make no prediction and time will be the judge of that. The MSM has made disaster and apocalyptic predictions about every POTUS. After 2024, the historians can compare 2016-2020 DJT to 2021-2024 Biden, that's what will matter.

Folks are buying for many reasons and no one can say what reason is acceptable or not. Even the person profiteering may be trying to financially survive having lost their income with COVID shutdown. Can anyone with 100% certainty say Cuomo (or Biden/Beto) won't ban out-of-state online ammo sales? I'm confident this law could be passed in this state and enforced by the AG. How about a tax on ammo equal to the selling cost? Think it's not possible? Until shooters believe things will not change for the worse I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've clearly seen it with all POTUS (Dem & Rep) alike. No exceptions. Rules of politicians (All parties) 1) Get elected or Re-elected 2) Make as much money as possible when in office 3) Say and do anything to achieve Rule #1 4) Tell populace what they want to hear but in a manner that doesn't say anything or commit to a position 5) Your position is with party unless it conflicts with Rule #1 or 2 6) Your position is with country unless it conflicts with Rule #1 or 2 7) When in doubt see Rule #1 or 2

That's politics and corporate America! Folks get rewarded for being the hero and putting out the fire while ignoring how & who is responsible for starting the fire in the first place; when it's one in the same.

They used to be advertised as ML/Shotgun scopes. I believe the primary difference (s) are parallax at 75 yds versus 100 (rifle) and adjustment clicks may be 1/2" @ 100 yrds versus 1/4".

The analogy was intended to be solely a demonstration of how the various news has become editorials and op-ed pieces with political motivation. I would expect your more extreme comment (implying arson/arsonist) to come from someone like Don Lemon, which again isn't news. Can you appreciate that these opinion attacks is the exact vitriol dividing the country?

I agree. I meant to say that they were non-government and not news organizations, so they are being allowed to censor. The various news agencies clearly censor via their spin. Most are actually op-ed at this point. I use this as an example of media bias reporting. An orphanage is on fire with 12 children trapped. DJT enters and rescues 6 children to safety. Before he can get in for the remaining 6 the building collapses before his eyes. FOX News: DJT bravely and without concern for his own lif enters a burning building to rescue 6 orphans. Unfortunately, another 6 perished before he could rescue them. CNN: DJT cowardly watches as six orphans die in a fire, when 6 others were rescued only moments before.

Friend was in a gun store this weekend looking for some ammo, and they didn't have what he was looking for. They also asked him if he had any he wanted to sell!

Further legal conundrum of this bias is that Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc are private (not public) companies, thus not 1st amendment protected, that can censor YET courts have ruled that politicians (particularly POTUS) as public figures cannot block viewers in this same media/ platform because that is a violation of 1st amendment protection of the persons blocked. Hard to comprehend that 1st amendment protection does and does not apply within the same media/platform.

Perhaps he has discovered the joys of whitetail deer hunting. This strategy gives him multiple states and seasons, where he will be able to hunt all year round, and with nuisance permits, no bag limits. Plus the bonus of managing for world class trophy antlers.

Yes, Govs actions and timing are suspect. I think he has come to realize that NYS has been closed for so long that it is destroying the state finances beyond return. When his actions were destroying individual NYers finances beyond return that was okay, but the State not okay. Perhaps he knows or been made aware that the BIden administration is not going to sufficiently bail him out.

Nice reaction! All I did was make an observation regarding the times we are in. One side would add DJT and the other extreme would equally take the whole thing down and I gave their rationale. I never took a position for either side, yet you were able to put me on one side over the other. I believe that fits the definition of prejudice, preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

The greatest weapon is between your ears. Most martial arts weapons were actually farm implements/tools, the peasants learned to weaponize what they had.

They also say an armed society is a polite society.

This is actually interesting to contemplate in our current times. What will/could this monument look like in 20 years? Conversely, everyone up there is a historic white male with a less than 100% pure past and perhaps under cancel culture this monument should be blown up as just another example of white supremacy.

A ton of doctors, wait many doctors, wait 2 doctors one breastfeeding and one trying to get pregnant. Although this is not consistent with the CDC guidance, I can understand an individual woman's concern and choice regarding potential effect on lactation and fertility. Their refusal is based on that, and they happen to be doctors by profession (which is irrelevant). This is not doctors against the vaccine or vaccination.

DJT/Fed funded some/most of the companies. Credit due DJT. Pfizer/BioNTech did not take 1 cent of Fed money and did it 100% on their own; and were the first to get authorization. No credit due DJT. Technically, he did not fast track anything. Emergency use authorization, which is not FDA approval, already existed (for just such a crisis) with no change in requirements/regulations. No credit due DJT. The vaccines are not FDA approved. FDA approval requires 2 years of safety data, no change in requirement/regulation. Pharma has no friend in DJT or Biden as they are both for price controls of medications. Pharma may have a preference for DJT based on corporate taxes.

Drug companies make their money by selling the vaccine. They are not going to "stall" anything as that hurts sales. It has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. Recall Trump was going after the drug companies regarding prescription drug pricing and controls. In this regard the drug companies do not like Trump or Biden. Trump also did not drop any regulations or hoops with respect to the FDA!

All the cases I hear about healthcare workers not wanting the vaccine come from here!
