No more politics. The mods have made their point. Let it go.


….and back to guns.

I built this bad boy for a partner.

speaking of AR9s... im in the market for a new lower. Reinforced poly lower couldnt stand up to the abuse i gave it.

Edit: just called a local shop. they want $350 for their ar9 lower or $700 for a lower/upper combo. wtf

I'm thinking about either redoing the couch in a different color or getting a new one to match the flame thrower tank next to the door.

You could try a period-correct piece. Something large in dark leather would be nice.

Or, since you already spent all of your money, get a few bean bags.

Hmmm, well, don't forget to consider the colour of the existing chairs in making your selection since I see they differ from the couch as well.

That said, your accent wall is spot on. Wouldn't change that.

Agreed, let’s stay on topic.

The baiters are being emotional & needing attention. Don’t cater to that drama.

So I have to ask...why do you keep engaging? Even though I don't particularly see the need for 2A, I happen to like firearms, and I'd like to see this thread stay open. But its like the last few of you can't let it rest. You aren't going to change anyone's opinion, nor will they change yours so just leave it well enough alone and post pics instead!

I like guns as well. First honest reply really, instead of other justification.

Bought a black SCAR 17 for maybe the best price I’ve ever seen. If things get weird like after Sandy Hook, the .308 SCARs could reach $6k again. Hope it doesn’t come to that, but figured I’d better get one now and lucked into one super cheap (relatively speaking of course). Should have on Friday, will post pics.

^ Nice pick up! Love my 17.

There's an anti-gun package going through the WH right now. Bet that most measures will pass and drive prices up on everything again.

Big question is, what optic to run on your 17?

Buy an AERO lower (…the blems are under $100 most of the time), have it shipped to your local FFL and viola!!!!

Thanks! Most likely one of these, .308 model of course.

Nice to see this thread back on track. I was beginning to think it was time to start a sticks, stones and slingshot thread.

A wacko with a knife or sword can't stab or kill 1 person per second like an assault rifle and 30 round clip can. Also the knife or sword are less deadly since it is not piercing your body at 300+ m/s. A car wouldn't have made it into the class room in order to mow down nearly 2 dozen kids/teachers. You got me on the IED though. Quick damage to a wide area.

And if the mass killings aren't directly enabled by our easy access to guns and our 'birth right' to own them, then why is the US the only developed country in the world with the level of gun violence that equals or exceeds violent gun related deaths in most of the Middle East and Africa?

I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but you just haven't paid attention to mass stabbings. There have been mass stabbing attacks where anywhere between 8-33 people were stabbed to death. Of course, it doesn't fit the AR15 narrative, so it's overlooked. I can't take anybody seriously who calls a magazine a "clip."

Apart from an IED probably needing a degree of resourcing, intelligence and planning.

Definitely more difficult to build and handle. You're not just going to walk into a store, show ID and walk out 15 minutes later with an IED…

You guys are overthinking this. It doesn't take that much to build an explosive device. We see improvised devices out here in the field all of the time. You need a reality check. The internet has made procuring supplies and obtaining methods extremely easy.
