Finally got to go to the local gun show, which would be the second time for me.  I've always got the misfortune of being out of town when they happen.
 
Anyways, usually all I have to look at in person are junky bubba'd bolt actions, so gun shows are really the only time I have to look at and talk about guns that aren't modern handguns or hunting rifles.  A guy there had a Russian Makarov, and I can confirm that I like how they felt in my hands. 
 
They also had a Polish TT-33, and I'm liking those guns a lot more now that I got to actually hold one, though I dunno if it's enough to make me get one instead of a Makarov.  I guess if anyone here owns a Tokarev, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on the thing.  They're certainly easier and cheaper to find online than the Bulgarian Makarov.  It looks a lot like the Colt model 1903, and old Colt semi autos are another sort of gun that I really like the looks of.
 
In regards to stuff that's out of my budget and all that, I now have a thing for the Astra 600.  I don't know how good of guns those are, but it felt perfect in my hands, plus it's got that awkward old semi auto pistol look that I like.  Some chill old dude also had a MAS 36 in near perfect condition for $410.  I can see why people like the thing.  Despite looking like a brick, the thing is actually quite nice to hold.  If I had $410 to throw around then, I would have grabbed it.  Those little peephole sights work better than I imagined too.  Only other thing of note that I can recall at the moment was some guy desperately trying to get me to buy his K31.  There were also used Russian Mosins going for not much less than my M39.

After looking around some, I'm thinking I'll want to grab a second milsurp gun somewhere in the nearish future.  I missed the days of good stuff being relatively cheap, but there's still a few guns coming in.  In particular, I've got my eyes on Bulgarian Makarovs.  Ammo I know won't be an issue, which is the main reason I'm not getting a Schmidt-Rubin.  The gun itself I hear is kinda nice.  It certainly is a nice looking gun in my eyes.  I don't like the mag release style, but I've seen people who just put little metal rings in the release to make it easier to pull.
 
The Polish P64 is a lot easier to find and is a few bucks cheaper, but it doesn't suit my fancy as much.  Various Tokarevs are also all over the place online still and cheaper as well, but they not only don't suit my fancy as much either, but getting ammo will be a little more annoying with them too.  Bolt action rifles are going to be something I can easily get my hands on around here, so I'm in no huge rush for something like a Mauser either.  I'd love a PPS-43C, but I'm a year or two late on that train. 
 
This site has a nice little package where you can get one on discount, plus the site has free shipping on the 14th.  However, I've seen a lot of complaints about these people being sketchy, but not really anything recent.  Any of you guys have a opinion on the site?
 
 
 
Within a month, I'm hopefully going to get to see what's in my grandfather's little collection of guns (which is where my Winchester 61 came from).  One of my uncle's friends apparently has some neat guns of the milsurp variety too that he's offered to show me whenever I come up.  Considering both the fact that the guns have just been sitting in a box for the past 10 or 20 years and that Christmas is just around the corner, it's possible I may inherit something from it.  I'll make sure to post any pics if some nifty thing is in there.

Soros spelled backwards is Soros. This confirms my belief that Mr. Soros is actually George Soros. Lizardmen demon Jews from the dark side of the moon confirmed.
I've only seen a portion of that interview in the past so far, but starting your life out by conspiring with Nazis during the Holocaust is never a good start. The thread so far sums up my impression of him. That, and he likes to throw money around too, often to suit his view of where the world should be headed.

I don't really follow all those sources much, but this is about the impression I've gotten.  Trump would save a lot more face by ignoring Pence on this stuff than he would for supporting it.  Even some rather conservative Christians I've met who think gay and LGBT stuff is morally wrong think that we shouldn't be bringing in big government to enforce those moral codes of theirs.  They were very much the "Love the sinner, hate the sin" sort of conservative Christian.
 
The impression I've gotten is the people who actually want to cut back on LGBT rights are a minority.  The two sides that I do often see are those in support of these rights or those that don't really care too deeply on the matter.  I don't think there's any doubt that there are people who think we need to be more strict on LGBT rights, but I've not met any personally who have told me that.
 
It's certainly the case with me, but I think that the vast majority of people who chose Trump see the issues that need to be addressed as a lot more important than worrying about who can go in bathrooms or who can put rings on other peoples fingers.  I was talking to a guy from Michigan a bit ago, and he says the reason that Trump won there was he rallied there, listened to what the rural folks had to say, and treated them like people.  Hillary only dropped by near the very end of the race and didn't even address all those people who were hurting and being ignored by everyone else.

I have as well, and while I certainly agree with what you've said, Sturgeon was right on a lot too.  I'm on a college campus, so that probably impacted a lot of who I was seeing.  This protest was more against Trump being elected than it was for being in support of some candidate or party.  There were plenty of people here who hated the shit out of Hillary too, yet were still yelling fuck Trump.
 
They were more concerned about the people around Trump than they were about Trump himself or his policies.  Really the only specific policy I heard them bring up as a talking point was the stuff Mike "curing queers with amperes" Pence would like to do to gay folks. 
 
Pretty much every single person there was only concerned about how this will effect women, minorities, and LGBT people.  The impression I got from them is the ~200 people out on Thursday here would have been much smaller in numbers if the media wasn't trying as hard as they could to push the "Trump and his supporters are bigots" narrative.  With how often terms like White Privilege were thrown around, as well as how strong their fear was, I imagine a good few of them think we're actually headed into Jim Crow stuff again.  A couple of them I talked to were saying they found the term Make America Great Again to be legitimately offensive, since they believed the Again part of it had racist connotations.
 
 
They did give me the strong impression that a lot of their concerns weren't entirely from the right places, but their ultimate goal here seemed to be they just wanted people to get along.  I ended up in this whole deal on Thursday by accident, but it seems to me like it was largely solved the same day.  The night (and protests) ended with both sides agreeing to set aside their differences and tell people who are attacking others to stop being twats.  If all the protests have this as their end goal, I can't say I'm too terribly concerned about their reasoning.

We're a Republic, not a Democracy. That's the difference. Also certain states like California have a unique stance on who is allowed to vote.

My uni is in rural MO, so local salt levels were low.  There certainly were people talking about being upset that Trump got it, but nothing amusing

Talking to some Hillary supporters last night and earlier today, plenty of them still seem stuck in the mindset that the US is being taking over by women-hating, minority-lynching hicks.  I'll admit I wasn't around much at the time to know how it went down, but I can't help trying to compare these sorts of leftists to how the religious right was.  I imagine one thing Trump had going for him was people were getting tired of the PC culture shenanigans and decided enough is enough.

Apparently the Mexican Peso has taken a hit and has dropped in value.
 
As my little brother WeaselSnout pointed out to me, this means it will cost the Mexicans all that much more to build the Wall.
