  1. So far, 37 views but not one response from the MAGA crowd? I guess that shows just how committed you are to buying American made products. Kinda' makes you all look like a bunch of hypocrites.
  2. So in medieval times we had accurate temperature records for Africa, Australia, all of the various islands in the oceans as well as North and South America? Please post a link where I can find that data.
  3. Since ACCURATE temperature records have only existed since 1880, ne must wonder where are you getting this information.
  4. Natural cycles of warming/cooling take 10s of thousands of years unless influenced by out of the ordinary occurrences like large volcanic eruptions that spew enough ash/gas unto the atmosphere to cause significant cooling/warming. This is the 1st time human activity is being linked to RAPID climate change..
  5. Where did you get your degree in climate science that makes you smarter than 97% of the OTHER climate scientists?
  6. Sight it in 2 1/2" high at 100yds and never be more than 3" from POA out to 275 yds. That's what the top of the diamond represents.
  7. 7mm 08 is the (late) 20th century version of the 7x57 Mauser. Both are perhaps the best medium game cartridges ever produced when weight, recoil, versitility and efficiency are considered. Far and away a better choice for a 1st medium game rifle than a .243.
  8. What you have to ask yourself is, what are the consequences if the deniers are wrong Vs the consequences if 97% of the world's climate scientist are wrong? If 97% of the world's climate scientists are wrong, the Koch brothers and the fossil fuel industry might lose some profits while we clean up the environment. On the other hand, what will be the consequences if the deniers are wrong?
  9. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/dec/19/china-aims-to-drastically-cut-greenhouse-gas-emissions-through-trading-scheme https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/19/climate/china-carbon-market-climate-change-emissions.html
  10. If the SHTF and there is a total collapse, a flintlock rifle would be the best alternative since all of the components could be had from the environment, albeit lead would the hardest to come by. Read Foxfire 5. It has been said that the mountain men prefered the flintlock to percussion because percussion caps could be lost or get wet while if a flint was lost, one could be found in most places.
  11. Except right in front of the muzzle if it has a scope.
  12. Most centerfire rifles with 2800-3000 fps muzzle velocity will have a maximum + or - 3" point blank range of 275-300 yds when using a bullet with moderate ballistic coefficient. And 2 1/2" high at 100 yds is a good ball park value if you don't have exacting data to work with.
  13. Perhaps you should strive to understand the concept of past, present and future tense. "Where those in common use at the time" is past tense, as when the Bill of Rights was written. He did not state "are those in common use" as in at the present time.
  14. On pp. 54 and 55, the majority opinion, written by conservative bastion Justice Antonin Scalia, states: “Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited…”. It is “…not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” “Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” “We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. Miller (an earlier case) said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those “in common use at the time”. We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’ ” The court even recognizes a long-standing judicial precedent “…to consider… prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons.”
  15. What did the late "conservative" SCOTUS justice Antonin Scalia have to say about 2nd Amendment rights?
  16. You should try reading it then. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16 To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
  17. How does the U S Constitution define a "well regulated militia"?
  18. The M1 "Garand" was designed by John C Garand, not John Browning. Garand was born in Canada eh?
