Not much to say, but when I went to v**e on Tuesday in Missouri, I could hardly believe what happened! I've been v****g in Missouri for about 35 years, and nothing like this has ever happened before! I damn near had a heart attack!

At the starting point in the room, THE LADY OFFICIAL ASKED ME FOR A PHOTO ID! OMG! I had to dig out my drivers license, which was a HORRIBLE experience! An extremely difficult task that took about 10 or 12 seconds out of my busy day!

I congratulated her and thanked her profusely for asking! I might have given her a hug, but I didn't think that would be appropriate there in public and all. I hope this "strange" procedure continues! Maybe there is still hope for these here United States OF America!

I'm still having trouble getting over it, being a senior citizen and all. It was certainly a pleasant surprise! WOW! I finished v****g, and as I left the room I thanked her again! I felt good the rest of the day knowing I had pissed off a Progressive!

About time, IMHO!

Hi Mike~~ this is the oldest McDonalds in original structure located in Chicago.. Drove by it offend .. Thought you’€™d like to see it..

Enjoy my friend...

LJ. I remember when my mom splurged and took us to the first Mickey D's to open in Norfolk, Va. because they were selling hamburgers for $.05 and FF for the same. A drink was also a nickel. Complete meal for $.15. I paid $.26 per gal. for gas to cut lawns with. Would earn between $1.00 to $1.25 for a quarter an acre. Of course I had to pay my dad for the use of his lawnmower. On weekends in the spring and everyday once school was out I carried fisherman's gear from their car to their rental rowboats and back at the end of the day for tips. I raked in the dough, roughly $6.00 a day. Don't you know I was one rich B. I also had a paper route. Those were the days. Mike

Moldy,

this tumbling and lose of accuracy was pointed out by an old gunny sgt. in Veitnam..

It seem this was a feature in the original design.. had 1;16 twist in the rifling. changed a bit later to 1;12.. For the military..

commercial AR-15, which are M-16 made cheaper, often still have the tumbling problem..

If you look at a gun site on line you can find endless argument about it..

My opinion---I using an older version or a newer cheap version of the rifle. Tumbling will be common and has been found in several of the k*****gs..

Use a modified military or high end version, then not so much..

My thinking is that both you and Dr. Evil are right.. and I think that most users are at the cheap end of the scale.. So, yes, the tumbling makes the round more devastating..

Tumbling bullets in the AR-15
Following the shooting in Virginia, before it was clear what weapon was used, another fellow surmised it was an AR15 and related the devastating wound was probably due to the bullet "tumbling."

It is my impression that "tumbling" dates back to the Vietnam era and the introduction of the AR15 with a 1:14 twist that stabilized a 55gr bullet until it hit the target, then tumbled due to yaw and instability. At greater distances the accuracy was poor and the twist was changed to 1:12. I have a 1:7 twist and I don't see any keyholes at any distance. So my position was if the shooter used a modern AR15, tumbling was not part of the equation.

But the other fellow says he has both a 1:7 and 1:8 twist and both rifles tumble his bullets of ALL weights.

What do you other shooters think?

You make an excellent point Gatsby. Each time such a scenario becomes an event some expert swims from the "fountain of ignorance" and spouts, 'the system failed'. I don't believe this. I think the *system* is turning out the required results. If it were not the support system, wh**ever the hell that is, would be fixed. As unadulterated proof, I refer offer Debi Wasserman-Schultz who's presenting a Bill - "background checks w/purchase of ammo. That's got to be straight out of your "fountain of ignorance".

I will keep my semi-automatic weapons thank you. Especially considering the dollar is racing to the sum of zero thanks to the Democrat C*******t party and their Rino pals over the last 100 years. If you cant see what is happening around you and the ploy to disarm the population before the bonds crash, you are not as smart as I thought you were.

Per usual, a fcked up human went mental and people like you politicize it to disarm tens of millions of hard working, law abiding citizens. Fck America and the Bill of Rights, right? Isnt that what little Democrat tyrants like yourself want? To be controlled and taken care of by the billionaires as long as you get a single payer system? Lol

With all the freaks/geeks, self entitled spoiled brat l*****t, Islamic terrorist, A****A thugs and a very overzealous government controlled by a small plutocracy of criminal billionaires set on world domination, I will keep my human rights (or whats left of them) to defend myself with my puny semi-automatic sporting rifles. These wespons are far far from military grade but its all we have to fend off threats to our families and communities!

Do you even know anything about firearms? Do you know what "AR15" represents? Do you know why the NRA was formed in 1871? Do you know the NRA is America's longest-standing civil rights organization since you have been trained to have guilt for even existing? Do you personally know anyone at the NRA-HQ before you say they have splattered childrens blood on their faces Or are you just going to continue to ride the great lie that is being presented to you daily by the plutocracy and their Ministry of T***h? Wise up man, the financial fcking of all time is right on top of us!
