Just curiouse...what brand and why have one? Maybe I own many unregistered guns, Maybe.... You know, not a single one of them sneak out at nite by them selves, shoot a bunch of people! I know that is hard to believe , but it is true.
Wasn't suggesting any of that....just a couple simple questions...u claim ownership of a military type weapon...very familier with them...actually too familier to be honest and was wondering which brand and also why own such a weapon? Home protection..? Much better weapons...Hunting? the same..Target and competitive shooting...also better types....overthrow a political system..? ok.... You believe the country is going to go through a period of government breakdown thus such weapons needed...Since that means medical such will also be dire straits...with all the protections ones take , still possible family members hurt or worse...taken protections really worthless IMHO....thus my question why such a weapon? Personally I'm to old to worry about such things....families very far away and will do what ever for themselves and happy to say they don't subscribe to such doomsday whatever's...just doing fine in living out their lives...grandkids in various educated areas of society..all seem to be comfortable....can't ask for much more.

Why yes, I do own some military grade rifles, Moslin Nagant Model #1891-30, 7.62X54 sniper rifle. Swedish Mauser Model #M96 6.5X55
Moslin Nagant Model # 1946R, 7.62X54, with attached folding bayonet. Those are the military rifles I own! And tons of ammo! Oh the reason I own them? collector item and Long distance target shooting!

I'm more concerned about a thief casing your house and then breaking in when no none is home, stealing your weapons and selling them on the street to people who want to do more than target shooting with them. It's one of the most common ways for criminals to get their hands on guns.
I do hope you keep your weapons in a gun safe.

Just curiouse...what brand and why have one? Did you have a chance to review my list of military weapons? I did breeze through...believe most are outdated rifle types...bolt action...and while they may have a clip for ammunition...believe not what most folks feel are assault weapons, weapons being used in these senseless attacks against civiliens.....actually the M1 of WW2 being semi automatic is probably more of a assault weapon then your collection.....as General Patton claimed, best weapon of WW2 or something like that... Not that familier with them though will guess quite accurate, especially with a scope..long range with accuracy which the older weapons were designed for though it was found, in todays battlefield, for individual combat...close in fighting and semi and automatic fire seems to be what is aimed for...Think it started in WW2 by Russian forces...being armed in quantities of the burp gun.. Germans stayed with their bolt actions over a semi automatic as they believed in mass automatic MG...with the individual soldier in support of these automatic weapons..many used in squad and platoon situations.

Trump also said he wanted to save social security. he talked way more like Warren than Bush in 2016.

That's not socialism. You have NO IDEA what socialism is, do you? Probably 95-99% of conservatives you hear spouting the Socialism line do not know what it means either. They only know that it is something that they are supposed to be against.

SAFE?? I am thinking he does not keep locked away...most likely out on display in a way...gun rack...on the wall so visitors can marvel away...Just saying. Collectors like the attention IMHO...again, just saying.

I have this massive gun rack that takes up the entire wall, with shelves under it for the massive amount of ammo I have acquired!! On the other wall is a huge pistol rack, with a large , large, led screen with Charlton Heston Shouting, over and over,
I'll give you my guns, when you pry them from my cold dead hands!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh every one of them is fully loaded!! On the third wall, not as large is the trophy case that holds all of the Trophies that I have won in shooting contest!! On the last wall are the animal trophies, everything from the rare pygmy mouse up to the Huge white albino elephant,, and the likeness of two people that tried to take my guns!!! I had to use pictures there cause it was too hard to find a taxidermist the would mount human heads!!

Biden still leads by 9%, but this is as close as it has been since he announced. Warren and Sanders are tied for second. none of the top 3 have any momentum. they appear stuck in their slots. though I will say that Warren is very near the top of her polling right now, whereas Sanders is not.
Harris continues to fall. she is in 4th place, but less than 2% ahead of Buttigeig. Buttegeig is in 5th, but has gained a bit in the last few weeks.
I am not going to consider anyone with less than 5% as in the running.

Beto never had a chance. Just too green to be POTUS. Possible veep candidate as he could help swing Texxass based on his showing against Cruz. Maybe secure more Hispanic votes along the way.

If Beto is the VP pick, who would be the actual Presidential candidate? If it were Warren, would it help the entire ticket? Probably too radical. If it were Biden, I think he would take Mayor Pete over him. Safer and better choice in the fall election. Same for Warren. Sanders would be interesting. Would he go with a female rather than a male choice? Has anyone ever thought who Sanders would have on the ticket? I do not think anyone has ever thought about his pick this year or 2016.....

Yes!! Marianne is the exact kind of freak that would make me want to abandon the country all together. If the GOP is Trump and right wing loonies, and the Dems are Bernie, Marianne and left wing loonies, where are we to go??!!

interesting polling emerging.
#1: Warren: she is now at her best level of the campaign- territory only previously reached by Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden: 20%. the last time Sanders had numbers this good was in MAY.
#2: Harris is now polling at 6%, her WORST LEVEL OF THE CAMPAIGN. she is fighting for 4th with Buttegeig, who is leading her, albeit narrowly.
Biden still has a 11% lead, but he looks vulnerable to me. Warren keeps gaining, other candidates keep losing. he has not polled over 32% since June. she has been gaining about 4%/month on him since May. if she keeps it up, she will catch him before year's end.
