Late to comment, but one Big Sandy at a post shoot campfire, we had a trio of very nice Brit shooters announce that "Oh after this we are going to spend tomorrow driving through Texas. (From basically Kingman, Arizona).
 
Yeah, there was a moment of silence.
 
"Y'all are not serious, Raight?"  (Asked the obvious Texan).
 
They were.
They thought they could leave the shoot, drive through 2/3 of Arizona, all of New Mexico, and sightsee Texas, In a day.
 
It actually took a couple hours to convince them that "No we are not fucking with you, unless you magically rent a B57, and say "fuck the fuel" ,it ain't happening".

Rep. Eric Swalwell , is a fucking moron.
The only thing that needs background checks and mental health exams (open to public scrutiny) are congresscritters.

And..You sold it?
 
W.what. Were you HIGH!? I managed to get one of the junkers to feed from a 30 round L4 magazine....
Why!?

Never ever sell a first gen G17, in the hopes that a G17L will come into the shop. 
You will end up with a Pre B CZ-75 longframe.
 
Never pass up an inexpensive early Bushmaster SP-1 clone, as you will end up with a 1 of 2000 R6700CH, that , while stupidly accurate, weighs as much as your Garand, and cost three times as much as the Shrub.
 
Never build "the perfect" 870, as you will sell it , thinking "I can build another". Eventually the world runs out of good, old, sub $200.00 870's to build on.
 
Never buy an Enfield. Let alone a No4Mk1*, as it will get you into handloading, then black power cartridges, then collecting odd British Militaria, then odd CANADIAN militaria , followed by collecting Japanese then French.
A Lee-Enfield will also spoil you on bolt-actions. A Krag comes close.  Maybe a Winchester 54.
Everything else will be "clunky".

As what, the first undead president?

There was some dicking about with "casemate light tanks" pre M2 Light, why I referenced Hunnicutt's "Stuart". They were all failures for obvious reasons.

Already done on a larger scale.
The downsides are - "Your traverse and elevation is absurdly limited". (Unless you want a Churchill GC)
You are forcing yourself into a defensive stance. (Tanks with DP guns, like the M4 medium are better on the advance than the defense, in that they are allowed more gun mobility).
 
Casemate "tanks" are for the most part acts of desperate compromise.  You are either trying to save money, or work with what you have.

You only regret not selling it to MEEEEEEEEEE!
 
FFS, I wanted to make an "Air Service Rifle" from one of those with a L4 LMG mag.. But most of the ones I came across were just shit. 
 
(And by "shit" , I mean "Would not feed a single round, were grossly out of headspace, would reliably unlock the bolt upon firing, or could not hit a flock of barns from inside one of them..)

The "bombs" will be made functional. Rest assured.

Another talking head just saying shit some people want to hear.

Yep. That's exactly how it would seem. Probably a white nationalist racist homophobic white male with ties to the NRA. Probably lives in a trailer and beats his wife. Might have a thing for his cousin. But most certainly votes Republican. 
 

I've changed my mind. This is a 4chan prank.

I have discovered, the happiest car in the world.
That front end just shouts "YAY I HAS FOUND TEH WATERS!"

Dear easily frightened person.
 
Nobody gives a fuck. 
In much of the U.S. you could paint yourself blue, wear a loincloth and march down the sidewalk playing "Scotland The Brave" on a kazoo, and most people would not give a fuck.
Much of what you see on the news regarding the U.S. (or anywhere) is garbage meant to make you afraid and easily manipulated.
As you have been.
 
Nobody is going to beat you with a shoe because you look like you have an arab (likely to be taken as "mexican" or "cuban" in Orlando) hubby, nor are people going to insist you sit in the back of the bus.
 
Quit believing the bullshit and  try to enjoy yourself, for fuck's sake.

"Vox" is in my round file, right next to "Salon", under the heading of "Bad Fiction".

Some day I need to see if I can find my Super 8 vid of a "tug of war" between a M37 and a U404 UNIMOG.
Oddly, the M37 won.
By a massive margin.
Granted it had a bed full of water tank, but still.
It stalled out the Benz, and drug it around like a rented whore, basically saying "Fuck yo portal axles!".
