UK and AUS both "dropped their guns in the pond" and their gun-control stands to this day unchallenged. In fact, their gun ownership as a percentage of their population is at abysmal lows. Their education systems teach children to be afraid of guns and indoctrinate them into gun control. Their legal system punishes people who slip up and reveal that they didn't register their guns. Don't drop your guns in the pond, pede. You won't fish them out after the jackboots come to your home. Your kids won't be able to defend their property with the guns you buried in the backyard.
I've grown to appreciate ammo that doesn't have exposed lead that rubs off on my hands when handling it. Check out LeighHigh defense ammo. Badass stuff that penetrates like FMJ but cavitates like hollow point.
It's the lead dust that coats your barrel you should be concerned with. It's easy not to touch your bullets reloading ammo or loading your mags. Not that anyone has to be concerned with too much lead exposure these days.
Isn't there a chris rock joke where if bullets costed. Hundred thousand a piece only the people who really deserve to get shot or something stupid like that
practice those pistol whipping skills it'll come in handy. Whips, hammer fists, simple effective dumb moves work. You've got steel in your hands cavemen made due with rocks and tree limbs.
I saw a video where a guy was reusing primes by refilling them with a mixture of matchheads and scrubbed of striker from the box
And, I shit you not - it works. I tried it myself, although by hitting such mixture with a tablespoon on a table. Imagine my shock when I've seen flames rising
It's not. Everything is copacetic until you have a big boom. Your equipment will be in pieces and you'll probably have dead employees. Federal is really safe about primers and they have an explosion every year or two. It all sounds great until you have to pick up pieces of your employees from the floor.
Jokes aside - I think it might be a good idea to look at alternate currencies in general, just not sure what to get, nor where to start because so many coins look like entire scams. Plus, I want the coins to increase in value, and allow me to sell them for USD or use them to buy goods/services.
They are all scams, like the stock market, but worse. Wealthy people buy up decent amounts of crypto at a small price. Then they or others build the hype around it, having others throw their dollars into it. Rich person watches the pot rise, and strategically pulls out as it inflates, wash, rinse, repeat.
They are far from all scams. Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t make it a scam. Is it volatile as fuck, absolutely. Does blockchain have a huge potential to change the world, absolutely.
I told you exactly how it is a scam. The scam, the way I described it, explains why it is "volitile.". People exchange real currency for coins. You buy a bunch at a low price, get other people to throw money in, you then strategically pull yours out, you make money. You are literally selling hype. And the blockchain/mining aspect? Well, it sure has advance d NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards quite a ways. Don't be mad at me because I am the heckler ruining your financial sleight of hand in front of everyone. You know just as well as I do those "coins" have no intrinsic value. They are glorified money laundering Ponzi schemes. A digital pachinko machine for the lucky few.
As crypto adoption increases so does its stability. Far preferable to The Fed (private US central bank) printing $1 Trillion every time Congress thinks we're in a new crisis. Volatility and scams are directly related to the unanchored US dollar and naked short selling. The way forward is cryptos, a stripped down Wall Street, and a return to a gold and silver standard.
I get the waning value of the dollar. I understand it muscling in on the fed. What everyone fails to grasp is once the dollar is removed from the world reserve currency, cryptos take a massive shit as well. Everyone I know, has been bragging about their cryptos and how much they are worth......in $USD (believe me, the irony is not lost on me). The cryptos are only worth what people are willing to exchange for them. People being excited about the dollar value of their cryptos is like some sort of fiatception. While I understand the concept behind why cryptos are around and what they seem to accomplish (even with vulnerabilities such as %51 attacks) their stability is still wholly faith based on the currency itself and healthy economies.
Excellent point that every currency is worth only what it can buy. Will be interesting to see to what degree the price of a Tesla in Bitcoin varies from its USD exchange rate. But maybe this is way too myopic; on the grand world stage it looks like both sides are gunning for some kind of major financial reset. How can we best prepare for it? Gold and silver are obvious and cryptos less certain. Bitcoin has at least survived the proving grounds of the dark web and now more mainstream.
Do you understand how a 51% attack works? A hard fork? At any rate, even being decentralized, I can see wealthy people manipulating crypto, much in the same ways, they vote to raise debt ceilings and decide to print more money, though through more advanced means.
I absolutely understand how a 51% attack works and a hard fork. You know what stops a 51% attack, a high price.
A hard fork that is not expressly planned for would completely destroy the application you are talking about. People have to actually use the fork for it to be useful. Example, Ethereum recently hard forked and the old chain completely died off because it was prepared for and everyone stopped using it. Another example is Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash hard forked off Bitcoin because they wanted the ability to process more transactions per block. How is that a problem?
Everything is manipulated. Crypto trading is the Wild West right now. It doesn’t make blockchain itself a scam and there are a lot of world changing items coming up out of blockchain.
Bitcoin is majority owned by a few people already. You know this. That pede is right about all those vulenerabilities and you're right that so far, the price keeps going up and up and nobody's really popped the system the way it's set up to be popped. If people want to take the risk and ride the wave, why not, the wave keeps going. But they should do so knowing all the facts.
If you really mean it, I say Bitcoin. The rest are just copycats trying to catch up.
If not, that is cool -- more for me.
P.S.(You can buy less than one BTC - so if you only want to put in 20 bucks, you can do that. Most people think you have to get a whole bitcoin. Not true.)
There's an economic theory going around that there's so much productivity in the world governments can literally print unlimited amounts of money. We're going to find out if the theory is true because that's literally what's happening with the money printing.
Sounds like bullshit from the Keynesian crowd. I never trusted that pedo or his supporters. American purchasing power sucks. So much of our culture decline is from reckless economic theories.
Ya idiotic Keynesian economics is what has brought us to this 30 trillion dollar abomination and its accompanying 600 billion a year interest payment. Not to mention sky rocketing prices.
Since we adopted his idiotic approach, along with the Federal Reserve, the US has gone from the world's biggest loaner nation to its biggest debtor nation, and our currency has been devalued by literally 99%. These leftists are insane.
The prairies are more conservative in general, especially outside the cities. Though you wouldn't know this by looking at our politicians. The Conservative party are not conservatives.
The only actually right wing party we have is the new PPC, but they only got 300K votes last election because people are scared to not vote Conservative.
Biden want to restrict people to 100 rounds of ammo per household. They know damn well that's like 1 box of .22 LR and nothing else. Infringing mother fuckers.
Was talking about society collapse with some family friends who are usually very prepared for world ending events (backup power, water, food, guns/ammo). I was saying that ammo will be the new currency. They having been buying gold for decades. Not sure what they plan to do with something you can eat, and that has no value in the apocalypse. I argued my ammo can buy things from friends, and "buy" things from enemies.
The only good thing Gold or Silver goes in Grid Down is Melt into Bullets. It isn't until after society reforms that they will hold real value again. Best investments currently are Guns, Ammo, Food, Water and Survival Items that could be used as trade in the future. Hell Land will be more valuable then Gold after a Collapse, especially land that has been built with a Food Crop of Fruit Trees, Berry Bushes etc on it. Also a lake with fish in it is a two fold resource as you can both filter the water for drinking and eat the fish from it.
No. Not even close. Federal has even dropped the pretense that it's all the market speculators (last panic they said it wasn't because of gov contracts and this time they admitted it's a part of it). Every ammo manufacturer is scared of investing in the NEW number of gun owners because they're scared the dems will pass their gun control and all of them will go bankrupt. I mean, you're not wrong that this is supply and demand but you're wrong that it's all it is. It's FAR from a supply and demand situation. And if you doub this, ask yourself why federal ISN'T building new plants to produce ammo this time (like they did last time). By the way, even with all the new infrastructure, ammo prices never fell below what they should have when the market went back to normal after the last panic. Production was almost doubled but there wasn't an excess of ammo on the market. Just something for you to consider.
I'll pass, sourpuss. You would have to trust some of what i'm telling you and you don't seem interested. Start here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5zNNk130V0 and watch his other video to hear it from the horse's mouth. Pay attention to the excess capacity he's referring to and apply some basic economics (hint: I'll give you an upvote if you correctly predict how elasticity will look under excess production) to ammo prices in 2019 and 2020 to see if my claim is accurate. If you want to have some more fun, track down the videos put out during the last panic. And if you make it that far, see what shop owners and people privy to industry presentations have to say (hint#2: guess why they're confident the ammo panic will last another 2 years).
I raise you this magazine of .380.
Fold.
Stakes are too high.
And I can't trust the poker face of an Anonymous Shit Poster.
People thought I was crazy when I bought 10k of ammo!
SHHHH! Don't show your hand! This's Gamblin' we're talkin bout here!
That... you accidentally dropped in a fishing trip, right?
No that I have on hand.
In... Minecraft, right?
right?.......
Why would I care about these loser agents? I live on an island in the US.

bombs cost a lot and only children who deserve to be bombed get bombed
Sad!
Is that you, Chris Rock?

Ayy man. It's got value on two levels. Brass is a precious metal and self defense.
This is why I only buy silver rounds
I'm stockpiling mine for when the werewolf cabal finally reveals itself as the true masters of the deep state.
Nah man it's the leprechauns and their hitters in the mermaid mafia
I still think the vampires will prevail against the wolves.
That explains the priest in Texas blessing guns with holy water.

I only buy my ammunition and ammunition testing supplies from Liberty Medical.
Just traded a case of primers for a AR15.
primer seems like a simple object for a production operation
I saw a video where a guy was reusing primes by refilling them with a mixture of matchheads and scrubbed of striker from the box

At the rate we are going, I can barely afford to play the 22LR slots! The power on that table could topple economies!
I payed a bitter price for. 22 LR. ashamed to admit it
I'll be over at the .30-06 Springfield minimum table.

P.S.(You can buy less than one BTC - so if you only want to put in 20 bucks, you can do that. Most people think you have to get a whole bitcoin. Not true.)
Ethereum is also decent with its smart contracts.
some say btc to $1M
the only timeline where that happens would have to involve $ diving like 10x... what events could cause that? dropping Big Mike on DC?
Or the US dollar in an inflationary tailspin. Look at Biden’s stimulus package. It’s nuts.

Monero cc is used for drugs. They dropped bitcoin. Just saying
Huh?
Exactly
Gun poker. This is 100% murican.
200% murican would be if the government was also at the table, cheated and took all the ammo
They already did
Judging by the guy's shirt, this is Canadian. The Bisons are University of Manitoba.
Are you telling me this Canuck is more Murican than a Murican?
I'm not sure if what I'm typing even qualifies as English anymore, btw.

Seriously! I'd actually love to play a game of poker like this!
Same
Ya gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to load 'em.
Know when to walk away, know when to gun.
Ain't that the truth!
I'm so rich!
Biden want to restrict people to 100 rounds of ammo per household. They know damn well that's like 1 box of .22 LR and nothing else. Infringing mother fuckers.
This actually seems pretty fun haha
Drops .30 cal box full of 2 3/4 inch slugs on table
Should we keep going? I've only begun to reveal my power level.
You've activated my trap card.. Pull pin on grenade
Too soon.
Sadly 110% accurate AF! I'd b at the poor table with my piggy bank o .22s <3 MAGA2021
I saw an article yesterday about how steel-cased .22lr isn't so bad and the author wished they could find even that.
SHIT GOT REAL!!!
LOCK & LOAD!!!
Fantastic.
If those are slugs or 00 buck that is one high stakes game.
Finally turned lead into gold.
Careful lads, I hear you only need 14 rounds to self delete...
why dont we just cut the shit and start talking about silver and gold as a group instead of playing along in THEIR system
Can I used ammo shells?
Was talking about society collapse with some family friends who are usually very prepared for world ending events (backup power, water, food, guns/ammo).

youre gonna need those guns and ammo to protect that land
For shotgun 1 slug shell = 5 OB buck shot.
That's too rich for me.
Gets in the game with 1 10mm
Too rich for my blood.
When a decent brand of 115 grain 9mm FMJ costs nearly a buck a round, you're damn right its a currency.
Love it
🎵 You got to know when to hold ‘em
Dude some of those specialty .50 cal rounds are like $100 you could actually have a decent game like this especially with preloaded magazines
Going off of the recent local trip, they aren't betting much in that picture.
Also what does one do with a .410 slug?
Bullets, food, and can openers are the new currency.
Very high stakes!
If they added poker to metro 2033
No. Not even close. Federal has even dropped the pretense that it's all the market speculators (last panic they said it wasn't because of gov contracts and this time they admitted it's a part of it).
