How are politician pensions in the USA? Here in Canada they are stupidly generous. A MP( Member of Parliament) can grow their pension 50 to 150 times faster that someone with a great defined benefit pension. For every dollar the MP contributes, taxpayers are contributing $10 to $25 (remember employers of regular defined benefit pension are contributing $1 for every $1 contributed by the employee).

Probably not a collectible before it was converted? Sorry haven't got a clue

Well ever since he got found out he's the forum's HR dept. it's gone to his head...

Stupid not only fails to recognise boarders it seems to travel. As a Texan sharing a border with Mexico she only has to look next door to a country with very strict gun control laws and see how well it's working.

FYI whores get paid, just saying you slut

Up here things are starting to thin out and if you have several things on the list it requires several stops. Powder prices haven't really gone up same with most components but primers are up $2/100 over from a couple month ago and store limiting how much you can buy. I've got decent reserves but have started budgeting $100/week then very couple weeks spending it on reloading components. It's not like prices will drop and stuff keeps.

Genius idea, only thing I'd suggest is a certain number of 'buzzes' the shock strength increases. Can't have them developing an immunity

Kevin is special The popular expression by the antis up here is assault style rifle. They even used it in the legislation to ban things like the AR-15, Stag etc. because as you pointed out they aren't assault rifles. Interesting part is while the term is used there is no actual legal definition in Canada actually neither does the term assault rifle. Now firearms that meet the above definition of assault rifle were prohibited in 1978 and current owners were grandfathered.

Fixed it for you...

I personally buy the go/no go gauges, worst case you can always sell it after your done. I'm thinking if it's possible to rent them here in Canada I can't imagine the same thing isn't available in the US. Basically you pay retail and they mail it to you, when you send it back your card is refunded minus rental cost.

Well light drizzle right now and for the foreseeable future. At least when the rain started the fog dissipated and was able to see past 100yd targets

Something I learned regarding solar panels and the cold from a guy installing solar panels in the Yukon Even in below-freezing weather, solar panels turn sunlight into electricity. That’s because solar panels absorb energy from our sun’s abundant light, not the sun’s heat. In fact, cold climates are actually optimal for solar panel efficiency. So long as sunlight is hitting a solar panel, it will generate electricity. Any diminished output during the winter months will primarily be due to heavy snow and shorter daylight hours. In the winter, it’s also less likely for solar panels to reach their peak temperature, or peak power. Once their temperature rises above that peak temperature, solar panel performance decreases. Research has demonstrated that panels begin losing efficiency around 77ºF. so cold and sunny is the key.

Thanks brother, fights not over yet. History is full of examples where groups have armed people to get power and once in power disarmed the very people that got them there. Ironically the very same governments that tell you a gun is not needed are the ones that will use armed men to impose there will upon you. Probably, not a fast procedure and if so you'll have a neighbor and shooting/hunting buddy. I have heard of Canadian electricians going to US through the IBEW, depends on how economy is doing. Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet up without having to look over our shoulders As it stands they haven't won and I haven't quit. War is attrition, the same government previously tried to bring in a registry for non- restricted firearms. They said it would cost $2 M, well the bill got up to $1.2B and no end in sight. That was just simple registration, this is likely going to cost $3-5B and maybe 20% compliance So now while they have prohibited a bunch of firearms the government has no idea who has them or where they are. Already groups that are not interested in firearms are saying it's not only a waste of taxpayer money but it does nothing to deal with criminal use of guns. That works out to 823 deaths a year for the whole country, my province alone averaged just under 5 fentanyl deaths per day last year! tell me again how my guns are a problem?

DustBuster, Look into the Appleseed program, even experienced shooters walk away better shooters. https://appleseedinfo.org/

A good friend of mine is a RCMP officer so I get to hear stories that never make the news. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with society as a whole.

The Canadian federal government introduced new gun control legislation today that would introduce a buy-back program for barred firearms, allow municipalities to ban handguns. Last year the did an end run around( an Order in Council(OIC) , our version of an Executive Order). They are now trying to pass it as legislation, as several court cases have been filed arguing the legitimacy of the OIC. They've backed away from saying all the recently prohibited firearms must be turned in and now offering grandfathering( motived by realizing the cost of trying to implement it ) along with that the majority of the firearms recently prohibited are non restricted( no registration or record of sales) On one hand they are claiming these guns are to dangerous to be in the hands of general public with the grandfathering option two things have been accomplished. First obviously not so dangerously we can still keep them and the anti org here in Canada is pissed off saying the government lied. The government is saying it will look at including legislation to allow municipal governments to decide on wither or not to ban handguns regionally. On this one both the gunnies and antis agree it's bad idea but for different reasons. Now the actual bill needs to be tabled, debated etc. changers made and re debated. Several Premiers and even several police groups have pointed out that this does nothing to deal with gun crime but punishes people that haven't done anything wrong. The money would be better spent actually going after criminal. Rumor has it that the government might call an election late spring early summer, if so and bill not passed it dies on the the table. Now currently we are not allowed to take our ARs out and play so... I see this as a temporary solution as Maple Ridge sells the stripped upper/lower( small frame AR available with large frame AR due out in 3-4 weeks) at least for now I can use my AR parts to put together rifles to shoot and when things change revert back easily. It's also a big to the government and the antis Now Canada doesn't have SBR laws and these being manual action rifles the only restriction is overall length( 26 inches) guys are running 10.5 in barrels

Subtle...

Totally bad ass
