@GlomarResponder Many of the local "trades" have been bought out by Vulture Capital.
HVAC
Garage door repair
Even some auto shops
Squeezing returns like blood from stones.
Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
I built this gun with parts I ordered off the internet.
This gun is only legal in Texas and Florida.
That's a binary blade trigger. Costs $500 for just the trigger.
It can shoot faster than full auto.
That's why its only legal in Texas and Florida.
@cailleach_feasa College days people would make this but, in some cases, "make a run to West Virginia" for Everclear.
Since Ohio limited people to 151 proof.

@regularguyguns Ohio, one can have the pistol in the car, on school property, but only if they have an Ohio CHL.
Same with "inside school zones".
"constitutional carry" isn't counted inside school zones or school property.
Ohio had 0 permission slips until 2004.
Got mine then ASAP, and kept it.
Side note, if you're not following @BrainLeakage03 and have any interest in Military Stories I'd recommend him.
He was both a great beta reader for The Second Initiative and I'm currently beta reading his short story collection War in Pieces.
It's a good, thought-provoking memoir of sorts. Though a bit heavy emotionally (obviously), I'm enjoying myself. He has other works publicly available as well.
@4nt1p4tt3rn In 2002 local shop/range got one in on consignment.
I was regularly regular, when I asked they waved to "go paw if you like".
(spare counter for "consigns")
Pre Ban
Folding Stock
Thumb Selector
10 magazines
"Only" 3500 though so I had to pass.
Heftier than a Romanian AK, yes.
@thefutabomber I'll have to ask Mom, we had a set of 4 of these for outings growing up.
(one for each, Dad, Mom, brother and I)
Not the same colors though.
One came undone so I think there's 3 left, maybe.
Dad briefly upgraded to a version with a motor.
(same brand but his had fenders)
The GWOT Memorial—much like the war itself—is an ugly, purposeless monstrosity that appears to have been orchestrated by career bureaucrats in a Pentagon basement conference room. Planned by think-tank staffers, supervised by a committee of GS-15s and overpaid consultants, designed in PowerPoint to be as generic and inoffensive as possible.
By resembling a pointless infinite loop, it’s the perfect metaphor for our forever wars. But our fallen heroes deserve far better.
Note that once again, the design is a Crescent Moon, symbol of Islam, to prove that Islam is triumphant.
