This conversation sure did get crappy didn't it!

Yep - I went with the Poop-in-a-box vs the ass pipe camera.

He was in for five months and has unit citations? That makes zero sense. Generally, unit citations are based on 6 consecutive months of excellence in the performance of a unit's mission. Citation eligibility, typically (there are some exceptions) require the recipient to have served the whole of that six month audit period in that unit. In other words you don't get to wear a unit citation ribbon if you were get to the unit two weeks before it's issued. There are some slight variations on those rules but considering boot camp is two months and Rate or MOS training another 2 months to even more than a year in some cases I find this a bit hard to believe that he was eligible at all. Sounds like a clear cut case of stolen Valor to me.

When I was in, 88-92 it was no Bueno. If the wrong person found out it was straight to a dishonorable discharge.

Said the guy on his knees...

That was a great mini series! I enjoyed it a lot.

I just got back into playing. If anyone's up for a game find me on chess.com: sorceress21

There is an overall and fatal flaw in any state, county or local plan to circumvent or protect its citizens from prosecution under any Federal law. If states or localities are unwilling to actively interdict Federal Law Enforcement to stop them from investigating, enforcing or apprehending in lieu of unconstitutional Federal laws then the gestures and declarations are all toothless and will do nothing to protect you from, for example, the ATF serving a no-knock warrant on you for suspicion of possessing unlawful firearms that were unlawful due to an unconstitutional law. 99% percent of these declarations are about as effective as putting a sign underwater 100 yards off a beach pointing out to sea that says: Attention all man-eating sharks. There are no man eating sharks allowed beyond this point. but not putting a barrier or net to stop them, as if they could read anyway!

Annnnnddd you're on Facebook why exactly?

For regular old civilian web surfing here's a recommendation to substantially lower your risk: Have a cheap PC or Laptop as a dedicated burner: Use it exclusively for web surfing and any social media participation. Equip it with IP and MAC address spoofer scripts. Use Incognito windows on you browser paired with a VPN and do not store any files beyond operating system folders on that machine whatsoever. Have nothing on the machine but your OS files and do a clean install on Windows or IOS or Linux before use to purge the bloatware. NEVER download OR uplaod ANYTHING! Do not use that machine for email accounts associated in any way with your actual identity. NEVER use public wifi. Do not ever connect that machine to any online account that has your actual personal info on it such as banking information. Change the device's name to a random combination of letters and numbers, change it weekly. Change passwords on social media weekly. Do not use it to connect to the internet via a mobile data network SIM card. NEVER EVER EVER type your actual name or ID info anywhere on the net for any reason when using the burner. If it has a webcam destroy the camera physically by driving a nail thru the lens aperture or using pliers to crush it. Deactivating it via the OSI it isn't enough. Hackers can turn it back on and you'd never know it. Now, this makes you basically web-dead for anyone other than your direct ISP. They can be subpoenaed for all of your meta data captured via every IP you've used. There's ways around that too but now you're getting into deep coding and scripting paired up with some rather expensive hardware. So as long as you aren't doing anything blatantly illegal online you'll be pretty protected from Democrat backlash, cancel culture, or ID thieves. You can get a cheap machine for under $300 to be your web play toy. For real ID stuff you use your regular devices including smartphone but in their use you never, ever go to sketchy sites or access social media. Keep the two sides to your web habits segregated on two different machines: OFFICIAL and UNOFFICIAL.

This is all academic. There is no way the new Congress will get legislation passed to retroactively reclassify millions of semi-auto non SBR AR-15 rifles/pistols as Title II firearms. The sheer impossibility of the administrative logistics of that are prohibitive. Such a Bill would never clear Ways & Means in the House. If even 10% of AR owners comply it would bury the ATF under years of paperwork they don't have the manpower to manage and on top of that they'll never getting a funding clause approved for cash buybacks. What will likely happen is they'll continue to press the ammo makers with increased regulation making it harder for them to produce adequate quantities of ammo to get the shelves restocked. They'll get another Brady styled bill at least to the Senate if not into law and it's very possible they may stop the retail sales of brand new ARs without a stamp or even at all.

As far as your reference to me as an appeaser and lobbing me in with those who are - Your failure to recognize my sarcasm was one thing and understandable, I mean it's you after all - sarcasm is often lost on you. However, then despite my explaining that your insistence at labeling me as having an appeasement mindset is incorrect you continue to stand by that judgment? Are you flipping kidding me? I was just starting to think I can actually really respect you but here you go again falling right back to your old patterns of judgmental accusatory crap. Who are you to judge me after I've debunked your assessment of my remarks? Because now you're calling me a liar and that's 100% unacceptable. You owe me an apology - period. If you aren't man enough to own up to the fact that you misunderstood my original post and retract your "you stand by" that assertion then please do me a favor for the sake of peace on the Armory, put me on ignore and stop responding to my posts. Since you have such a detailed understanding about what I'm all about and refuse to admit you actually don't know crap about me then I'll thank you to stop bothering me. I have zero patience for this kind of DEMOCRAT STYLED judgmental BS anymore from you or anyone else. You pulled an AOC there John - SHAME ON YOU!

Lighten up John, it was sarcasm. Sheesh! If I was standing in front of you I'd take off my glove and smack you across the face and ask my purser to fetch my dulling pistols. Appeasement mindset MY ARSE!
