An article I was reading recently said the the u.s. military could capture Canada in as little as five weeks, it then went on to say the u.s. could then expect as much as two decades of domestic terrorism and sabotage, terrorism and sabotage would be worsened because not only would you have acts carried out by extremists but also as opportunities presented themselves by otherwise law abiding citizens.

That reminds me of this meme map I find pretty funny, especially after having lived in Portland, OR for a couple years and then moving back to Texas.

I gotta say I’m none too happy about our Joe Exotic designation lol.

Also not happy about Joe being the Sooner representation. Google Tigernado however and didn’t even involve Joe. Invaders would not only have to deal with a well armed populace in flat open terrain but a large military and dreaded twisters throwing cows and round hay bales at them. Would it be legal to spotlight them? Occasionally tigers on the loose during tornadoes!

Both wrists have been rebuilt as a result of dropping the gloves. We always wrapped our wrists for more support. I’m not sure if it did a lot of good. The trick is speed. Push the guy back half a step or pull him forward half a step. If he’s off balance and you’ve got your feet, you can get two or three good ones in before the linesmen stop you.

You will understand the implications of this, when I moved to Dartmouth I worked security on the Halifax waterfront. One of the other guys recruited me to play for his team. It was the Preston NightHawks! Sure glad I was on their end of the rink!

the real blackhawks not them or pretenders from Chicago. Next you’ll be telling me you guys played against the thirteenth tribe…..

So Mexicans can just go in and buy as much ammunition as they want.....dont have to be an American citizen to buy ammo?.....

Adult citizen ammo purchases are not regulated by the Federal government and most states (like UT) don’t regulate it either. I’m thinking the store or dealer was in on this illegal purchase by non-citizens because a purchase of this size would have to be a special order. I doubt even the largest gun shops have 180k rounds of a single caliber of ammunition in stock. Had be ordered in advance.

I don’t consider myself at all racist, but I have to admit that it felt odd being the only white guy on the team. By far the toughest guys I’ve ever played with!

I would tend to agree that the seller was in on it somehow (or coerced).

No respectable gun shop owner would just take a 180K round order and not blink or try to get out of such a deal.

Thing about Oregon and Washington State is out in the country they've got some scary, meth type rednecks. Not to mention the serial killers.

Good explanation as to why Ukraine won't give up territory....and also as to why no peace agreements could be even started before the present balls up ..

Why Zelensky can't and won't give up Crimea

Ukraine's leader has ruled out recognising Russian control of the peninsula as part of a Trump peace plan.

Says a Belgian.

Seriously, if we went to a gun shop in Nevada and said we'd like 200,000 rounds for a full-auto shoot / bachelor party they'd just start loading your pallets. Pretty normal stuff over here in the USA.

I think I speak for every American on this forum when I say this: We find it hilarious when liberal urban TV news reports a "massive" gun seizure that includes 7 weapons and 2000 rounds of ammunition. With a hearty chuckle I state I don't know a single gun owner that would be so ill-prepared.

 

[Vashper]

you obviously know little or nothing about canada , but I’m sure Afghanistan and Ukraine make a Russian an expert on assimilating cultures. How’d it work out for you guys anyway?

Oh, it's more like "nothing at all," but I know the position of some new Canadian citizens - they definitely would not give up American citizenship.
And I do not know what the most truthful media in the world are telling you about Afghanistan, but I remember that our army withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989, leaving behind a loyal government and powerful armed forces that lasted even longer than the USSR itself.
There is something to compare it with.
Now relations with the Afghans are rather good, I bought Coca-Cola produced by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, when the Americans wanted to bring us to our knees by banning Coca-Cola.

I’m sure the mujahideen was sad to see you go, is that a government you guys installed like the one in Crimea?

 

[CoElkHunter]

In CA you have to be a legal resident or citizen as there is a background check. I think some other leftist States like IL, NY, NJ also require it. On free States no background checks.

That's why you go to a FREE non Marxist state and buy your ammo.

Right on That's barely enough to get started. Gotta have at least 1000 rounds for every gun and a gun in most calibers.

Actually, it's not interesting at all if you are looking for the truth...

The Daily Beast is a notorious left of left conservative hating propaganda machine... They even admit at the very beginning of the article that their sources are Russian propogandists... What would you expect them to say??
