Every time there was a mass shooting or some kind of statement from Obama about gun control, my brother would go out and buy several new guns and more ammo. I told him he was crazy, but he thought I was crazy for not building up my arsenal."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Apparently he and a great many others... I'm pleased to report that my gun and ammo purchase habits have remained steady over the past few administrations. Admittedly, I stocked up bigly with paintball guns, ammo and C02 cartridges during the Reagan era.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Transcripts of Trump's calls to Mexican president and Australia's PM are released. I guess there really is a deep state. Or, someone very close to Trump reeeeeallly doesn't like him.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...=.e8be285ca31e
Here's a gem:
The best negotiating president this country has ever seen is reduced to bargaining with the Mexican president on how to finagle out of his signature campaign promise. I love the part where he completely plays his hand by saying the wall really isn't that important, but it has yuuge political ramifications for Trump. LOL. Begging Nieto to try to save face. Really, LOL.The only thing I will ask you though is on the wall, you and I both have a political problem. My people stand up and say, “Mexico will pay for the wall” and your people probably say something in a similar but slightly different language. But the fact is we are both in a little bit of a political bind because I have to have Mexico pay for the wall – I have to. I have been talking about it for a two year period, and the reason I say they are going to pay for the wall is because Mexico has made a fortune out of the stupidity of U.S. trade representatives. They are beating us at trade and they are beating us at the border, and they are killing us with drugs. Now I know you are not involved with that, but regardless of who is making all the money, billions and billions and billions – some people say more – is being made on drug trafficking that is coming through Mexico. Some people say that the business of drug trafficking is bigger than the business of taking our factory jobs. So what I would like to recommend is – if we are going to have continued dialogue – we will work out the wall. They are going to say, “who is going to pay for the wall, Mr. President?” to both of us, and we should both say, “we will work it out.” It will work out in the formula somehow. As opposed to you saying, “we will not pay” and me saying, “we will not pay.”
Because you and I are both at a point now where we are both saying we are not to pay for the wall. From a political standpoint, that is what we will say. We cannot say that anymore because if you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that. I am willing to say that we will work it out, but that means it will come out in the wash and that is okay. But you cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall. I am just going to say that we are working it out. Believe it or not, this is the least important thing that we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important talk about. But in terms of dollars – or pesos – it is the least important thing. I know how to build very inexpensively, so it will be much lower than these numbers I am being presented with, and it will be a better wall and it will look nice. And it will do the job."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

When Obama was making a bunch of speeches about bringing back the assault weapons ban, I bought a few extra 30 round magazines and replenished my supply of 5.56 mm ammo.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
However, my efforts to build a doomsday arsenal have been thwarted by my move to NYC when I had to leave all my guns behind.
