Sig won the pistol contracts. Now the rifle and LMG.

Seems fishy?

You mean the government is actually choosing the best design and function over political and financial concerns?

Yeah, that's weird. 

So, are you justifying throwing insults and personal attacks to people who post something that you personally or emotionally don't agree with?

I'm responding to YOUR insult to all military -- even though you tried to make it about one military member.

You have a right to express your opinion of the military, but when you include us all, you get our responses, too.

I'm not justifying his insults nor yours.  I'm merely responding to an attack on all military -- whether or not you intended it that way.  Kissinger's quote (which has never been confirmed nor denied BTW) was general in nature.  The term "military man" can only be construed as a generalization.

It is all I need to come up with.

Me and another poster were discussing the general topic and you couldn't stand it apparently. For some unknown reason we had to talk about some specific organization just because you wanted it that way.
You didn't start the thread and you don't own the forum so perhaps you can guess where I would tell you to put your suggestion....Go ahead and ask if you can't figure it out.

Cool story, bro.

I don't know why I even bother when you're always a week or more behind the discussion.

 

As I understand it the Honolulu Police have quite good training certifications so I wonder if this is as a whole or or how they are measuring that.

"As I understand it..."

"how they are measuring that"  (training requirements)

I guess you didn't bother to click the link to the full report.

If you disagree with the use of US empire, show how it is not an empire.

As for the "clown" remark, so says the "military man who is just a dumb, stupid animal to be used as a pawn in foreign policy", as quoted by Henry Kissinger.   

So you're now insulting all who served in the military now?

Doesn't matter that you used a roundabout quote that's never been factually verified as having been spoken by Kissinger.  You posted the words, and you directed it to robtmc in the context of his military service.  That would apply to all of us who served.

Maybe you should read what you're typing several times before submitting.  You might be generalizing in a way that includes many members of this forum -- not just your one intended target.

BTW, Kissinger also served in the military.  So there's that.   

"I recommend getting the NRA course -- if not instead of Hunter's Ed, at least shortly afterward.  The Hunter's Ed course doesn't include any hands-on live-fire training."

I have always thought that was a big mistake here.  Because I has lost papers in moving here, I had to take the Hawaii hunter safety course.
I've been licensed to hunt since 12 yrs of age, so I was a little PO'ed, but rules are rules. 
I thought that the lack of a demonstration in the actual safe use and firing of a firearm was unusual for a Safety course.
But this is Hawaii,  Logic doesn't apply here, just feelings.
 

Before the pandemic, in-person courses were always 100% reserved for months in advance.  It became common knowledge that many sign-ups will be no-shows -- the theory being anti-gun and anti-hunting zealots trying to interfere with people getting training in order to hunt and buy guns.

Due to the wait time for an open spot, most handgun buyers opted for the NRA course, which although $150-$200+, they could get trained in about a month give or take.

Now that the Hunter's Ed course is available completely online (before only the study portion was available online -- still had to show up to take the test IIRC), I'd be curious how many handgun buyers are opting for Hunter's Ed certificate.

Anyway, the whole permit process is FUBAR. 

I'm 100% skeptical of anything that is stated by the biden administration and whatever spews from biden's mouth.

Liars, Liars, their pants are all on fires.

They say "oops" as if they made an error but we all know they are all full of shiite.  Or shiff.  All the same.

Yeah.  Some people like to repeat the phrase, "Don't assign malice to that which can be explained by incompetence."

Too many time, as in this case, the people sending out the Tweet are either too stupid/lazy to do 1 minute of verification before making an official White House claim, or they believe we are too stupid and/or lazy to know the difference.  Either way, it scares me that these are the people wanting to control "disinformation."

Tracking for my package says it arrived at OGC today. Any input on whether I wait for them to call me or I call them ? It's Saturday afternoon I'm anxious to go get the serial number for the paperwork first thing Monday visit to HPD.

Sometimes the seller fails to put your name and phone number on the package, and OGC doesn't recognize it as a transfer until they open the box.  By then, they might have waited a couple of days to open it after other transfer packages they received.

I see inspection periods usually begin "from" the day of delivery, for example




I believe "from" means "including the day it was received, whereas "after" would be the 3 days following receipt.  If you're having scheduling problems, work that issue out with the seller before the window closes.

Since you mentioned getting the serial number for the paperwork, I assume you need to apply for a handgun permit?  If so, then go check out the item ASAP if you have an inspection window.     

Call OGC and inform them that you need to inspect the firearm by a specific date if that's the case.  Work with them to schedule your inspection and get the receipt/specs for the permit app.

Waiting silently for OGC to call could be the worst decision if there's a problem with the firearm.

Biden's White House continues to blatantly lie ... even about facts that are transparently FALSE to anyone with an IQ above 80.

They pushed out a Tweet on May 12th, stating how there was "no [COVID] vaccine available" until after Biden was sworn in as Resident.

https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1524868269148192779

The next day, they "corrected" their Tweet, but only after Twitter and the media blew up over such an obvious disinformation attempt -- saying whatever sounds good for Biden with no regard for the actual truth.

https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1525239715372359681

Given that they included that "non-factual factoid" in a Tweet that was clearly meant to praise the economic "growth" seen under Biden's watch, I think most people are smart enough to figure it out.

If they can't get the little things right, how can we trust them when they spout off statistics and results that contradict what we are seeing in our daily lives?




I'd give them the benefit of the doubt had these nuggets not already existed on Twitter which totally destroyed their narrative about vaccines.  BTW, Biden received not just the vaccine, but ALSO A BOOSTER PRIOR to his inauguration!

Pretty much the whole baby formula problem in a nutshell -- including why Biden's administration caused it and is taking actions that assist non-US citizens first.
