    It's a bold play coming into General Talk for your first post...

    That's happening all over America at the minute. So much as a whiff on social media about violent protests and these lads are turning up in droves. They're not paramilitaries though. They're constitutionally aware citizens!

    Is it hitting you too?! 9MM and .223 are like shit tickets, and hand sanitizer, were in February!

    Nice one, mate! Love those Tundras! I've just had the suspension done on my 89 Dodge. I don't need to see a chiropractor whenever I drive it down the road now!
  5. ChrisJones
    I dunno mate but Glock's ability to adapt to the market as a global force equalizer is truly impressive!

    I'm glad you posted that video, Walshie, after I'd lost all that weight!

    I've been good, mate! Thanks for asking! I've had to dip out from posting for a while because I'm back at work and busier than I was in February before the sky fell in! Life here is pretty much as normal as I remember it. Everything is working back to running again. My daily routine hasn't changed much in the last decade pandemic, or otherwise! Back on topic... My ammo guy is now 190,000 rounds behind in his backorders... It's almost like a global pandemic and an election season have combined forces to become the horsemen of the apocalypse!

    Fixed that for ya!

    If he has there isn't a peep about it in Stateside news besides the usual sh*t about sanctions. Link?

    I don't put too much stock into what the left thinks. Or the right for that matter. I stick with the people that are friendly but respect my privacy. Basically 99% of America. It's a lot different here than what is portrayed on social media. If you don't believe me look what Donnie and Joey have done for gun sales in the last 4 months!

    Why does it have to be one or the other?
  12. ChrisJones
    Agreed but I vote based on evidence and my conscience. Basically what I see is right, and not on who I feel the need to 'own' this meme cycle... Politics in the developed world is about winning and losing, which I disagree with. It should be about electing officials to govern our affairs not to rule us as they see fit. Neither the Republican or Democratic party are onboard with that chain of thought which is why I cannot, in good faith, give either of them my vote. I don't fully agree with everything the Libertarian party stands for but I feel it's the closest to my world view. In an impe

    If you're only giving me the choice of two to vote for then I'd abstain. I cannot vote for either in good conscience. If you want to know who I'm voting for it's Jo Jorgensen. Luckily we don't live in a system where we're limited to just the two choices. If I did I wouldn't vote or I'd write my dogs name in on the ballot. She at least wouldn't cause any harm.

    You asked me if I was okay with the situation? Trump or Biden? I think I answered but to clarify I'm not okay with either of them! America will only start to benefit from politics when it's no longer treated like your local footy team and they've had enough of their power removed that they no longer matter and you won't even know who the president is.
  15. ChrisJones
    You better than most know my thoughts on Trump and I haven't actually seen anything unexpected from him. The most notable aspect I've seen this year is how he's consistently lost the support of the independent voters that helped elect him in 2016. We all knew he was divisive but it just seems he's squandered the last 3½ years with his petty social media tantrums. Most people have seen me a some kind of liberal, or Democrat, judging by some of the post responses I've had but that's how the nature of these forums work. It couldn't be further from the truth. Just because I think Trump is use
  16. ChrisJones
    I still wouldn't bet against him at this stage but we're no better off with Biden. Both parties support the erosion of civil rights and the increased power of their governments. Trump didn't drain the swamp as promised he just made a bigger one to fill for his successor. The good we're seeing from all of this is that more and more are now aware that the two party system is the problem and both of them are equally useless promising change and delivering nothing.
  17. ChrisJones
    Public sector? Or private?
  18. ChrisJones
    Fair. If you look at the Britain's naval supremacy at the time it's understandable they'd be large players in what was a global trade.
  19. ChrisJones
    What will the headlines read like a few weeks after they open up again? Only takes one and off they go again!

    Even now they've rebadged it as human trafficking it touches even the smallest of towns in the quietest of places. It certainly isn't going away.

    If prostitution is the world's oldest occupation then slave trader has to be a close second.
  22. ChrisJones
    Masks work. Two articles from Reason... One and Two.
  23. ChrisJones
    British merchants were the biggest players in the Atlantic slave trade. They were at it while America was still a British colony. It even predates the Roman occupation.

    We're all taught that you shoot to stop the threat. Not to wound. Not to kill but to stop the threat. It's hard to have a justified shot when they're running away and take a round in the back. If you're feeling adventurous, Katch, look up Qualified Immunity. You'll feel a little queasy especially when you realize that the copper in the other thread could be getting fifty grand a year pension while he's looking at murder charges.
  25. ChrisJones
    This is the same point I was arguing in the other thread. There's a serious problem with this in many jurisdictions across the US. A lot of these coppers aren't fit to be wearing the badge. I'm sure you've read the story, as have I, but can anyone watch that footage and say he deserved any of that? The LEO were responding to what was a report that he was seen brandishing a weapon. He was intoxicated at the time. In the other thread he allegedly passing fake money. While I can see the adrenaline would have been pumping a lot harder in this case due to the weapon report the fact remains tha
