  1. Now here's a Xmas gift for the man/ woman who has everything: https://www.engadget.com/2015/03/19/49-state-legal-personal-flamethrower/
  2. Of course waterboarding isn't 100% effective...I get that. But if it's only effective some of the time by preventing additional American lives lost I say go for it. --J P.S. There are other methods one can and have used that might reap the desired results.
  3. Great comment from Trump...and bring back "enhanced" interrogation. --J
  4. I'll look forward to your review when you finish it. Thanks.---J
  5. Nov. 9th. marked the 37th. anniversary of Frank O'Connor's death. Here's a remembrance from The Atlas Society: http://atlassociety.org/commentary/commentary-blog/6101-5-things-to-know-about-frank-o-connor-ayn-rand-s-husband
  6. No problem for me getting ammo/firearms here in NV. It's where I live. Glad I no longer live in CA. It's become the statist epicenter. I suspect there will be many from CA. coming here and where you are to get the ammo they want.
  7. If I lived in California I would have to buy a bulk quantity of ammo at one time to spread out the cost of the backround check fee, assuming bulk ammo purchases are legal. No way around it.
  8. Agreed. What I find particularly atrocious is the backround checks for the purchase of ammo. The last firearm I purchased required a check and it took the clerk about 20 minutes on phone hold with the "authorities" to get the ok. Add to that I needed to pay $25 for that ok. I don't fault the retailer for the charge since his employee's time on the phone and filling out the paperwork by his employee costs him money. Fortunately, there are no backround checks for ammo here in Nevada...not yet..but if you're a California resident and want to buy a box of, say 9mm shells, which sell for around $15-$20, you will probably end up paying more for the backround check than the ammo itself. Add to that the wait for the check will probably be long and the stores will need to hire additional people to process these checks. The Left is going after the ammo, the firearms, the firearm manufacturers and the retailers all in the name of the public safety(?)... It's a full court press on all fronts--J "Who will protect us from our protectors?" AR
  9. Follow the Money: Anti-gun Ballot Measures Succeed in Three States https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/follow-money-anti-gun-ballot-measures-succeed-three-states/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20161111_FridayDigest_95&utm_campaign=/blog/follow-money-anti-gun-ballot-measures-succeed-three-states/
  10. Trump was fortunate to have some hard-working, influential people out there on the stump for him. They reached a lot of voters. Guliani, Hannerty, Carson, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Pence & Ingraham come immediately to mind.--J
  11. Well then those Bernie supporters will either not vote or vote for Trump. Either way, that's a good thing. --J
  12. Can't say for sure Michael but I suspect not a majority of them will vote for the snake. ---J
  13. I don't like the smell of this: http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/democrats-take-early-voting-lead-nevada-going-election-day
  14. How Many Guns Are in the U.S.? Likely More Than You Think https://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/how-many-guns-are-in-the-u-s-probably-more-than-you-think/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20161104_FridayDigest_94&utm_campaign=/blog/how-many-guns-are-in-the-u-s-probably-more-than-you-think/
  15. To come from behind 3-1 and win the final 2 at your opponents park was truly amazing. Last night was a real nail bitter. Now it's on with the NBA & NFL season. --J
  16. Looks like this may be a good read. Anyone out there read it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L83YEX6?tag=lewrockwell&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B01L83YEX6&adid=1DBB700B6R48BJW1WK6Z&#customerReviews

Did you ask all of the Trump supporters? As a Trump supporter I care immensely as to how our vets are treated...even if I wasn't a vet, which I am. --J
  18. I'm reminded what the little Russian lady wrote (AS, Objectivist Letter?): The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

  19. Well since it's Kalifornia I would guess no cookies and milk for a week.
