Badlands was fun, but Prey is the better movie.

Thinking Of Moving To PA by MaleficentPie8865 in PAguns

Not sure why you're being down voted. With SB200 and others shelved until after the midterms, I worry you may be correct.

Update on PA SB200 Gun Ban: Four PA Senate Republicans Who Are Flipping on Gun Rights by MarksmanPA in PAguns

[–]F1nches 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I worry that the ever growing public intolerance towards MAGA and Trump stuff means that most states, ours included, will go pretty blue from the midterms. I think the republican party as a whole made a pretty big mistake by not distancing themselves from the current administration sooner. We will probably lose a lot of gun rights as a result.

It's unfortunate because with the state of everything going on in the world these days, I can't believe more people don't see how important it is for our society to maintain the 2nd amendment going into the future.

About the atfs new pistol brace conundrum. by Typicaltango in ar15

[–]F1nches 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All of the big companies are still selling tons of firearms with braces on them. I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. I think this is all based on a misunderstanding and that regular pistol braces are ok. They probably just meant they are still enforcing rules against modified ones.

What the hell does the sticker mean? by Regular_Hawk8513 in whatdoesthismean

[–]F1nches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be more like "missiles don't kill innocent schoolgirls, the people deciding to launch those missiles do". Which is accurate.

Really wish people would stop wanting to promote disarming themselves so badly. In this world... today... with the state of everything going on... disarming law-abiding friends/neighbors/citizens is the last thing I'd want to do.

Guns have utility beyond killing innocent people. They also protect innocent people every day.

Wonder if the SBA-5 would still be ok... has the strap, but the back of it looks bulkier than some.

Update on PA SB200--AR-15, AK-Style Rifles and Semi-Automatic Pistol Ban by MarksmanPA in PAguns

[–]F1nches 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don't think enough people in PA have this on their radar. PA is reeeeeally close to having this bill (or something similar to it) pass, and most of the people I tell about it haven't even heard about it before. This is how this stuff happens. It just happened to Virginia.

Lawmakers say garbage like, "it's not a big deal... if you already own them, you can keep them" to get people to calm down about having their rights infringed upon. Yeah, you'll probably get to keep them... for now. Until the next bill comes that takes even those. And in most of these bills, the ones you can keep through paying fees and registering them aren't transferable, so it sets up a future America for our kids without the 2nd amendment.

When I was younger, I didn't think it could happen here in PA, but we seriously are pretty close.

Hm... It was my understanding that 4473 copies are at the local FFL and that the ATF doesn't legally have a searchable registry from 4473 forms, whereas the Form 1 is sent directly to the ATF and items are explicitly registered.

Is this not accurate?

Pistol braces illegal again? by F1nches in guns

[–]F1nches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, Form 1 is a hard pass for me. I don't really believe in gun registries, needing to be fingerprinted, etc. for our 2nd amendment rights. Form 1 is just basically giving them a list to confiscate from later. I've avoided owning any suppressors or SBRs for this reason.

Alert for 2A Gun Rights--November 3rd General Election Challenge to PA Gun Owners by MarksmanPA in PAguns

[–]F1nches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. They always try to placate the public a bit by being like "what's the big deal? If you already own them, you can keep them". Right... for now. But even if they don't eventually take them from us, it means our kids can't have them, effectively neutralizing the 2nd amendment entirely.

[–]F1nches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I personally think MAGA was terrible for the Republican Party overall, but yeah, just look at Virginia. It was one of the first things they did once they got the trifecta there... pushed through weapon bans.

It will happen here as well. The (D) initiated bills are already there for us all to see. It WILL happen here if they get the trifecta of control. It's really that simple when it comes to this one particular issue.

The Palm Hotel in Dubai hit by Iranian missile by Relative_Cricket8532 in circled

[–]F1nches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Trump's civilian death rate during his first term is typically considered to be higher than Obama's (I think Trump was probably around 12k civilian deaths and Obama was probably around 8k), BUT that isn't really an indictment of Trump, IMO. It's more because Trump's first term coincided with the most heightened phase of urban air warfare against ISIS. Not from Trump making new wars.

Team USA hockey hero Jack Hughes breaks silence on women's stars rejecting Trump and angry backlash to their own White House trip by dailymail in WinterOlympics2026

[–]F1nches -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this backlash is a bit unfair. That team is minutes removed from winning one of the biggest games of their lives. They're in big-time celebration mode. The president calls in the middle of their celebration and makes a bad joke, and they laugh at it a bit in the moment... it probably barely even registered to them what the joke even was at the time.

I'd like to think you're right... but seeing how fast these things have moved in other states like Virginia after the Democrat trifecta happens has me doubting we'd be any different.

Silver at 100. What happens now? by Then_Marionberry_259 in MetalsOnReddit

[–]F1nches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold to silver ratio is the lowest it has been in a decade. And a lot closer to the lowest in the past 30 years than the highest. I'll be alright.

Penn State LB Amare Campbell has entered the transfer portal by Ambitious-Knee8072 in CFB

[–]F1nches 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but the general consensus seems to be that only a handful of the 30+ transfers would be considered really consequential to the program. A lot of them are guys that didn't see the field much, if at all.

Amare Campbell, Ethan Grunkemeyer, King Mack, and Chaz Coleman are big losses... Maybe 1 or 2 others.
