  1. That's incredible, my fave cw shooter was spencer "the lead dispenser' for quite a few years But i meant with a bolt aciton - here's a taste from someone who is NOT a world record holder at all BTW - the world record i believe is 38 HITS - not shots but hits - on a 42 inch target at 300 yards! 300 and he still hit it 38 times in a minute! And that's reloading eery 10 rounds! Set by a brit soldier many years ago as i recall
  2. Federal budget’s fiscal targets unlikely to be met, interim PBO says - The Globe and Mail Their budget is misleading and won't hit target Ottawa's operating spending — not capital — driving deeper deficits: PBO | National News | thecanadianpressnews.ca The liberals are overspending on OPERATING budgets, which was supposed to be getting better over the next few years but arent. Completely by coincidence.... Ottawa seeks new parliamentary budget officer with ‘tact and discretion’ - National | Globalnews.ca
  3. Yeah, he's playing faster with the numbers again. He lies a lot. This is something people are not quite understanding yet. He needs to bring in more people because that's how you prevent us going into a session. Immigration artificially creates a higher GDP and without it it would be obvious to all Canadians that we were in recession right now. He can't afford that. But he also knows that people are fed up with too much immigration causing inflation and housing to become unaffordable. So he's trying to say that he's lowering immigration while putting his thumb on the scale. He's caught between two problems. Justin Trudeau left him an absolute disaster and he can't really say that out loud, and also he's not terribly competent which makes fixing the problems hard
  4. In which case they'll probably all be dead and there won't be anyone left to rue anything. Good point.
  5. Well that's probably true. As I said this is obviously an article that's not trying to be funny but trying to be an attack ad vice that is desperation at work
  6. And the government paid for everybody and paid businesses to keep them afloat. And put us into insane deficits wh9ich were comfortably the highest in history and in the end doubled the entire debt from the previous 150 years. Harper didn't do that. He used other methods to stimulate the economy but obviously that couldn't be done under covid. But we recovered from covid and yet the liberal economy is so bad that despite the fact that the world has moved on our bankruptcies are still going up through the roof to record highs That's the liberal economy for you No he was the governor of the Bank of Canada Yeah, it's universally agreed by those who aren't actively trying to promote him that he did a bad job
  7. Of course there is. There are many reasons. In addition my logic didn't have anything to do with why guns did or didn't evolve, it had to do with using ammunition as an effective control against violent crime. So you couldn't even follow the very basic logic that was being put forward and you wonder why sometimes I get mad at you Pay attention for god's sake. But yes, civilian firearms have evolved to take more ammunition for a variety of very good reasons. If there weren't good reasons we wouldn't buy them. Millions and millions of guns capable of taking more than five rounds sold to civilian sports shooters, and apparently according to you they're all stupid and didn't realize there's no point to it. Give your head a shake And the same reason that the military likes to have more applies to civilians as well on top of their reasons. If your plane can go first with a 223 which is popular it's nice to have multiple rounds so you don't have to stop and reload. Or if you're hunting coyote or even more so wolves. At the range it's a huge advantage if you can just keep shooting rather than having to stop, take your gun off of arrest or shift positions, and then reload, and get back to shooting because that really affects your precision in certain circumstances. Further there's a number of shooting sports that really require larger magazines. iPSC for example which is insanely fun, ,or three gun or a bunch of others. And people use firearms for self defense as well. They use it against animals such as bears and they use them against humans where necessary. SO they have the same needs as police. So there's millions of reasons why people Should have more than 5 rounds and of course many guns do carry more than five rounds, such as lever actions. And if you actually knew anything about guns or military history you would know that was a very little bit of practice you can accurately fire even a bolt action rifle almost as fast as a semiauto Especially in the larger cartridges. They used to drill on it back in the day, it was called the mad minute drill. So the bottom line is you're 100% completely full of shit again. My logic was perfectly fine, you just misunderstood what we were talking about. And there's no reason in the universe why civilians don't benefit from larger magazines
  8. And? Not sure i see the difference. The current force is ex military people who actually served These will be civil servants they handed guns to for a week. Of course they are, reserves or not the intent is for them to be sent against an enemy if needed. Otherwise what's the point of giving them guns and training in the first place?
  9. Logic was never your thing You should practice more My logic would be that ammunition is not an effective way to control violent crime with guns. And my logic would be correct
  10. It was the Beaverton. It's supposed to be funny. But unfortunately the Beaverton does have a political streak in it and very frequently they pretend to be trying to be funny while actually attacking political opponents and this is a case of that. As a result is pretty unfunny and you may not notice right away that it is supposed to be a joke, but not really, but a joke, but not really It's the Beaverton. But as I was just saying with most Beaverton articles you know immediately that it's meant to be humor. The sarcasm is out there and they're trying to be funny. But every now and then they engage in political bias and the article isn't funny at all. It's meant to be an attack with enough window dressing to make it appear to be an attempted humor so they don't get sued This is just sad. "Trump is a child molester haha1 just kidding haha! But not really kidding he's a child the last her totally haha!! Kidding! Can't sue, kidding!!"
  11. No bud. No joke, they're talking about training civil servants to use a gun. They will undergo one week of intense military training per year and will be considered a 'special reserve force'. THis won't be manditory as i understand it but employees will be 'strongly encouraged' and there will be generous additional pay for it. They hope to get 300,000 people enrolled in the end. this will be a message for them to be able to give bonuses and raises to people without actually having to build it in to the entire civil service. And this is where a lot of our military spending will go.
  12. In case we want to shoot 6 times. Duh. Your logic seems to be that it's ok to use a gun to kill 5 people but 6 would be too many.
  13. Sure, we had the world wide recession, worst in 80 years. You don't remember? Well.... you were still in elementary school at the time i guess so fair enough But as you can see one of the fastest recoveries in the world. We were lucky to have harper. It could have been much much worse. Justin on the other hand... what a disaster. 2015 to 2019 was a hugely positive time around the world and he still managed to bring more people down, then as soon as the covid payments and borrowing ended it's shot up again to be just about the worst, and everyone else is doing just fine. This is what happens when you elect liberals. You'll understand when you're older.
  14. Turned out Airbus was a nothing burger and the RCMP wound up being successfully sued over it. And the kickback affair was when he was out of office. Chretien left genuine scandals behind of course, shawinigate and obviousoy the massive adscam series of scandals. Those were an order of magnitude worse admittedly, But there was no 'aftermath' from any of those, it had been addressed. So no matter how you slice it you were still wrong.
  15. Science doesn't interest itself in what is 'right' and 'wrong' YOU are deciding that and attempting to pretend that science agrees with you in a desperate attempt to lend validity to your otherwise indefensible positions. That's not how it works. By 'they' do you mean the voices in your head? The rest is just nonsense. The media hates the right. Carney is a liberal who occasionally wears a pc mask to fool the dull witted (specifically you it would seem).
  16. Given herb is herb he was likely offended when he woke up this morning anyway That's probably a good idea. The recruits are probably a itttle tense and could use a laugh. If we could harness your level of optimism for energy we could power the world
  17. Well maybe they shouldn't have done to others if they didn't want done unto themselves
  18. REVEALED: Trudeau spent $11,000,000,000 on overseas gender programs during tenure | Winnipeg Sun 11 billion this Twinkie spent of our money, or more accurately future generations money and our interest payments "Derp! Why do you guys care so much about gender issues it's not like it affects YOUR life, Derp!!!" 11 Billion ffs.
  19. Canadian Insolvencies Accelerate, Hit Highest Level Since 2009 - Better Dwelling Insolvency Appears to be set to climb continuously for quite some time. It will soon reach the levels of the great recession. Carney is taking this country in the wrong direction. He's going to be hard to hide that for people for very much longer before even the more die hard liberals will have to start admitting things aren't going well under their new leader
  20. Oh look, The coward who's too afraid to actually speak to me directly as an opinion
  21. It's not relevant and I've come to realize you're not deliberately pretending to be stupid, you are the real thing. Did you think that the electrical energy just jumped into the battery? nothing created it it just walked in there on its own? It's not relevant That the energy is harvested in one case before storage and one case after storage, it's still storage of energy. You understand what energy is right? I don't have to go through the basics of science with you do I? You're making a nonsense argument because you know you've lost this discussion but you're not willing to let it go. As evidenced by the fact that I clearly used gasoline as a catch all for any petroleum or liquefied natural gas issue. Try being less pathetic, it's getting irritating Ok, you are officially too stupid for this conversation. With batteries you create the energy beforehand. How do you think the electricity comes into existence to put into the battery. How do you not understand that you have to create the energy and then put it into the battery? So what's your reply boils down to is you realize you've said something stupid, I've called you on the stupid and I did so in a fairly nice way and rather than just accept that and move on you have become more and more and more stupid and you're trying to twist what I've said out of its meaning to make yourself feel better . You've not only lost this one kid you've looked god damn stupid doing it. I usually expect better from you than this kind of pure I'll crap. This is the kind of stuff we see from Robosmith. As of this moment there is no way to store electricity as efficiently or as inexpensively as we store fuel of any type. And until we can everything you said is complete bullshit
  22. Not at all. Many left very positive legacies. Mulroney left the GST which basically wiped out our deficit at the time. Gretchen for all his many faults permanently altered how are elections are funded and greatly enhanced democracy as a result. Even if he was just trying to honk off Paul Martin Harper left behind a much more united Canada, much lower crime, stable economy and balanced books Trudeau on the other hand, all we have is aftermath. A trash economy, trash global reputation, trashed trade relationships, high crime rate, etc etc. And carney doesn't seem interested in improving things much Most of the other leaders don't leave an aftermath. So no you're wrong.
