    Tv show Person of Interest, except they do facial recognition everywhere.

     

    That is what cracked me up about masking up for covid. Made the facial recognition software's head spin.

    If'n I was a young person starting out in life, I think I'd just live in a van down by the river. 

     

    I know kids in their mid 20s making 100K/year and they are even wondering how they can afford a home these days.

    I have this same rifle, but in the trapper configuration.  It is an incredible rifle. Marlin quality is through the roof on these new Ruger made models. Factory smooth action, easy to shoot well. This would make a nice addition to somebody's shootin collection.

    Are you running out to buy a glock?

    I have several Glocks, all gen 5s. After shooting all gens over the decades I settled on the gen 5 with its changes. Great shooter, zero maintenance issues with 10s of thousands of rounds fired. No, not an attractive gun but it ain't supposed to be. Colt covers that. 😀

     

    Don't need another but I sure wouldn't turn down a few free ones. 

     

    I've tried some of the other Glock wannabe polymer guns and they just don't quite cut it for me. 

     

    I could probably be talked into a gen 5 model 20 however. I can see a practicality with that one although a Smith 1006 would get my $ quicker.

    JM Marlin 1894 in 44 mag. 

     

    Serious feeding issues with all types of bullets in 44 mag and 44 Special lengths. Hoping your carrier is the fix.

    Having owned a Marlin in 45-70 its a very light rifle. Shooting the 45-70 gave a heavy recoil! 

    Agree that the Marlin Cowboy in 45-70 kicks like a mule but it's been my experience the Marlin GBL, SBL and Trapper in 45-70 are quite comfortable to shoot. I love them all. 😀

    I had no idea lane splitting was legal anywhere...

     

    Back when I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class to get my motorcycle endorsement the instructor told us lane splitting is generally not legal as much as it is not illegal in most states. For what that's worth.

     

    Perhaps it is actually legal now in some places. 

     

     

    Why go to the woodshed?

    Mom was the one that utilized the BELT even though she did not wear one.  :o  It was never good when she invoked your full name including middle name.  ;)

    My mom would get so mad at my brother she'd accidentally call him by MY full name when getting ready to lose her cool with him. 

     

    I always thought, "NOW what did I do?" when I heard mom getting ready to whip my always deserving brother. And little psycho he was, he'd just laugh.

     

    By association I WOULD get in trouble when dad would get home just cause he figured I was somehow part of mom's bad day. 

     

    I think I now drink alcohol because of my brother. 😁

    Not quite, they won't hear anything that contradicts what they FEEL. 

    Exactly.

     

    Back in 1985 I was in a school shooting. Several shot, one killed. School shut down for a week. We all came back and while this hung over us we all resumed life as normal as we could. 40 years later we all remember that day clearly. How could we forget? That was my class's JFK moment. But you know what? Unlike these fragile scared-of-everything snowflakes today, you know how many of us said we're scared to come back to school? None of us. Reality trumped feelings back then. How does society return to not being pussies about everything? Having read articles on every school shooting over the last 10 or 20 years that sentiment always come up from students. Either it's being sensationalized by the media that they're "scared to go back to school" or scared to even go to school now. Perhaps they're using that as a crutch to not, nevermind that shootings happen in movie theaters and restaurants and malls but these same kids won't stop going to those places. 

     

    The problem here is moral decay. The problem here is the resistance to even slightly hardened school security for the safety of students. The problem here is the softening of our society and the refusal to place blame where it truly lies.
