Presumptive. 

I'm no longer a Republican, Bush sucked (BOTH of them IMO) and I'm no fan of global Marxism.

I do like to buy things from Japan that are not made here.

Swords specifically.

The irony is that HE voted for a globalist liberal "Republican" and YOU voted for a Conservative.

That should end the discussion immediately.  :patriot:

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Indiana Jones Versus the Swordman Scene

In concert with the blades I have plenty of irons.

The blades however, require a lot more skill to wield and use.

I agree with you....but the most skilled swordsman is, uh, toast facing a....well, watch the video.   :patriot:

I would never bring a sword to a gunfight.

But when stealth or close quarters are required - nothing beats a sharp blade.

Agreed.

Tune in to "FRONTIER"...a new six-episode series on Netflix, starring Jason Momoa.

It's about the fight for dominance for trading in the 'New World' with the Hudson Bay Company.

I understand Momoa is actually very talented tossing hatchets.   And I'm not talking the Sears & Roebuck type either.

I disagree. My vote goes for a "hushpuppy",which generally meant a silenced 22,but the truth is they came in all calibers. I actually had a .45 ACP WW-2 M3A3 "Greasgun" from WW-2 with a suppressor on it in VN. Loudest noise was the clang that big,heavy bolt made going forward. There were LOTS of suppressed 9mm sub guns like Stens and Swedish K's,but they had to fire special reduced loads to keep from burning the suppressor (we called them silencers back them) out. I once saw a suppressed round from a Sten bounce off the wooden floor in the tent at our launch site at Dak To. The roof had been leaking and there was a puddle of water right where you had to walk going in or out of the tent,and it was slippery as hell,so someone figured he would just shoot a hole in the floor to let the water drain out. My thinking is that "If I am going to shoot a guy in the knee with a pistol round to disable him so I can capture him,I'm damn sure going to shoot him with a full-powered round and big bullet instead of a squib load."

Thanks for the tip. I now have it on my watch list.

I've shot plenty .22, bricks of it from the 10-22 and the various pistols running from the wife to the kids, but never fired a suppressed/silenced round - so I have no frame of reference.

I'll have to take your word for it.


I will state, that down in these parts showing the suitors for your daughters your gun collection in hopes of intimidating them to make sure your little girl is home at the appropriate hour, has zero desired effect beyond "Hey, I got one of those".

But showing them that I can peel grapes with a katana…. priceless beyond measure.
