Worsley
I apologize for hurting your feelings!
I agree with everything you said.lol. Okiedokie. I'm certain you would have stayed at home and criticized the men who were gathering at Lexington.

Why? You don't know me. But you do know that he was factually incorrect on his entire assertion that the SCOTUS has already ruled on braces.I agree with everything you said.
I was talking with combloc who is factually correct that they serve us.Why? You don't know me. But you do know that he was factually incorrect on his entire assertion that the SCOTUS has already ruled on braces.
Sorry. You mentioned "everything" he said, which included some distinct misunderstandings on his part.I was talking with combloc who is factually correct that they serve us.
I think you're missing the point. Go back to 1934 and see what the average pistol cost back then. The original intent of the NFA was to make handguns too expensive to buy. That should give you good context as to what I'm talking about.They do, but I‘m not sure they do at the same rate inflation does.
Hmm - what tax does?
I might be, I just couldn’t think of a tax that keeps up with inflation. I think people would revolt if it did.I think you're missing the point.

If your income comes close to keeping up, then the tax on it does too. Sales tax, by definition, is in lock step with inflation. Property taxes are a rate, and go up as homes become more valuable (of as the dollar becomes worth less). Broadly speaking, taxes do keep up with the rest of the economy. That’s why it’s a RATE and not an amount.l

OK, so why aren't you out shooting at feds yourself already? Muleskinner, is that you?
Saying "I can't be touched" is just straight up delusional. And that's the standard we then have to use when evaluating every other single thing you say. I'm reminded of your proof-of-the-supernatural video bluff. You got called on it, and caved. You're thumping your chest about how the ATF can't touch you, banking on the fact you're unlikely to be bothered by them between now and when it finally gets dealt with in court. Real easy to play ITG when you can avoid friction and detection by just doing what all the rest of the sensible people will do and not poke the bear while the litigation plays out. But you get "they can't touch me!" bragging rights here on a forum. Yeah, OK.
Yes - when the 1934 act went into effect, a suppressor cost about $5, for which you had to pay $200 to register.I think you're missing the point. Go back to 1934 and see what the average pistol cost back then. The original intent of the NFA was to make handguns too expensive to buy.

Taxes always reflect current appreciation. The more something is worth, the tax on that item increases. In NFA, the tax did not. I'm the last person to give a 500 words or less lesson on economics, so I'll leave that up to the experts.l

If it seems strange to you that someone might type your own words back to you as an indication that you’re just plain wrong on facts, maybe you should read what you say out loud before you hit that submit button.It feels so warm to be so loved.
Lol! I agree...If it seems strange to you that someone might type your own words back to you as an indication that you’re just plain wrong on facts, maybe you should read what you say out loud before you hit that submit button.
Untouchable! Amazing

I still love you Combloc. And I'll vote for your presidential campaign, donate, and even knock on doors.It feels so warm to be so loved.
You'll notice nobody is saying otherwise. We're talking about his characterization of (for example) a SCOTUS ruling that doesn't actually exist. That sorta thing.For those who don't know him, Combloc is a good man.
All the more reason to make sure he's not misinforming other people into thinking they, too, "can't be touched" by the ATF. People DO get touched by the ATF, and we need some patience for litigation to play out in the meantime.He is uniquely knowledgeable of the legal system and it's failures.
I will see anyone's tiredness of the shit and raise them some of my own tiredness of even more shit. Being exhausted with the crap - especially when the people who hate us all are running the executive and legislative branches of this state and the executive branch of the entire republic - is the last reason to let your guard down and start calling yourself "untouchable." I mean, really.Sometimes people just get tired of the shit
Thanks buddy. I don't worry too much about anyone questioning me. People can say whatever they want. I know what I know and I have nothing to prove. And certainly, nobody is going to hurt my feelings. The reason I've stopped engaging with good ol' Occam is that it's pointless to argue with someone who is so entrenched in what they believe. How do I know this? Because I'm well entrenched in what I believe. Let's be honest. Nobody is going to solve world hunger here. The main reason most people even post in forums is for their own amusement. Does that mean I'm being ingenuine in my posts? Absolutely not. On the contrary, I choose my words very carefully and I am always truthful. But it does mean that I'm unaffected by what people think of my views. It is NEVER my intention to rile people up or cause controversy, but I do try and get people to think for themselves.I still love you Combloc. And I'll vote for your presidential campaign, donate, and even knock on doors.
For those who don't know him, Combloc is a good man. He is uniquely knowledgeable of the legal system and it's failures. Sometimes people just get tired of the shit, especially after the government kicks them in the teeth.
