    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Does not part of my auto registration and licensing go towards building and maintaining highways, painting lines, plowing snow? Perhaps if my gun registration went towards high speed public ranges, subsidize ammo or hand loading, etc. perhaps I would share your enthusiasm for the comparison

    OFFICIAL MEN'S OLYMPIC HOCKEY THREAD

    Just came from the Split Crow Truro. Doors opened at 0730hrs, 80+ in attendance (standing room only) Everybody had a good time. Personally would have liked to have seen the Swedes score one just so Crosby could claim two consecutive game winning goals for a Gold Medal. Cheers

    OFFICIAL MEN'S OLYMPIC HOCKEY THREAD

    Maybe if I presided over that train wreck, I might say "I didn't even want your stupid medal", or "nothing in my wardrobe goes with Bronze anyway". But I'm pretty sure my pre-game story would have been different. Cheers

    OFFICIAL MEN'S OLYMPIC HOCKEY THREAD

    I don't think I can agree with the premiss that The US didn't care to be bothered to play for third and therefore settled for fourth and no medal. I think they got their asses handed to them.

    Figure 11 Balloon

    Only instance I recall was green, man shaped balloons filled with helium and released to be engaged by .50cal on the M63 mount. No markings on these balloons except for the rude, obscene drawings we applied with felt tip marker. This caused lots of giggles until several drifted away bound for...

    Florida Panthers sent only x2 players, Barkov and Kopecky, and both of them are bunged up. Zuccarello from the Rangers and Zetterberg from Detroit (granted, he started the Olympics hurt), probably will not start back in their NHL homes after the break All these injuries gives ammo to owners who...

    US Army looking to build air-droppable armoured vehicle (ULCV project)

    As functional as a Universal Carrier was it weighs in at 7000lbs empty and would be hard pressed to carry x6 kitted out Infantrymen. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the UC and I've tried many ways to imagine a 21st version. Probably larger, longer, modern powerplant (re-located) etc. But I...
