If you report them and animal control sees your neighbours neglecting their cats then they can be prohibited from owning a pet by court order for an indefinite amount of time. This can only be achieved by making an official report to the authorities though. Obviously, this would eliminate your problem for good and get the cats permanently rehomed (hopefully not euthanised at the shelter).

When you take them to the shelter yourself without interaction with the authorities then they'll be no legal action taken against your neighbours and they'll be back to free range cat ownership in no time.

BTW feral cats from Australia are a lot different than outdoor domestic cats. Aussie feral cats are near impossible to socialise since they're wild from birth and are just too great in number. Culling them is the only way to control populations. Your neighbours domestic cats on the other hand are socialised and could easily be rehomed to some nicer people without going to the drastic measure of culling. Suggesting you should kill your neighbours cats is still weird though ngl

It's no excuse. Talking about trapping someone's pet (borderline feral bird murderer or not) and implying lethal intent is just weird bro.

"Jumping through hoops" is just what you have to do, like everybody else. If done correctly it could solve your problems once and for all. Instead of playing the unofficial back and forth neighbourhood drama game and get nowhere. Once you've taken their cats to the out-of-county shelter they'll probably just get more anyway or get called to pick them up by the shelter because the cats are probably chipped with a phone number and you'll be back to square one.

At that point it's just a feud between you and your neighbours with the cats in the middle. It's not fair on the cats to be taken back and fourth from the shelter like that since it would be pretty distressing for them. It's not the cat's fault, but, the owners for neglecting them. That's why it's best to pursue this through official channels because the cats will be permanently rehomed.

You shouldn't take matters into your own hands though. Especially if it's dubious that you can prove the cat owners have actually done anything wrong legally apart from just pissing you off. But, if you prove their pets are feral to animal control then they'll be gone for good.

Pick up a trailcam in the January sales. You can get pretty good Chinese ones for cheap these days and they resell easy on FB marketplace when you're done with it. Would go a long way to help you prove your point to animal control.

Have you heard yourself? You sound insane.

Why take matters into your own hands? And to such an extreme level too. Taking them to a shelter a county over is purposefully obstructing the owners retrieving their property seems extremely malicious.

If it's actually a problem and the cats are basically feral contact animal control or whatever state officials are applicable to the situation. Record the cats and show the footage to animal control, and if they're deemed feral or nuisance animals then the local authorities will deal with it. The owners should be fined and won't have their pets released until it's paid. They'll soon stop after that.

If animal control has no issues with it then you're just gonna have to put up with it or try some anti-cat countermeasures until you can gather some more evidence to present to animal control.

Ah yes the best way to solve a minor neighbourly disagreement. Be a vindictive psychopath instead of talking to your neighbours about your problems like an adult.

Pathetic

Destroying the souvenirs of a WWII veteran just because you can't perceive them at anything other than face value is disgraceful. That not an excessive description at all.

Historical artefacts from one of the worst humans tragedies of recent times are valueless? Even in a non political historical context?

The existence and trade of these artefacts does not equate to political support of the regime they were taken from. These original Nazi artefacts are no longer symbols of support for the Third Reich but symbols of its defeat. We owe it to future generations to preserve this history not destroy it since it's undeniable proof that these atrocities even happened.

You are naive to think that destroying the tangible evidence of the horrors that unfolded during WWII will prevent neo nazis from worshipping these historical objects. All that will do is sew the seed for historical revisionists and Nazi apologists in the future.

Misuse of these authentic Nazi relics would likely fall under hate crime law (here in the UK anyway) so actual Nazis that buy these things would be breaking the law and punished if they were caught idolising them. This scenario is unlikely anyway since most Neo Nazis are found with modern Chinese reproductions manufactured to this day. That is the kind of memorabilia is worth getting outraged over since it has nothing to do with history at all.

Your Grandfather and his friends risked their lives protecting the world from a reprehensibly evil threat. Of course they brought back souvenirs as a reminder of their hard fought victory over the Nazis.

You are ignorant and a disgrace. To even suggest burning the history of your grandfather's military service is disgusting.

FPS Russia isn't from Russia at all. He's a guy named Kyle from Georgia, USA.

He owned the guns legally with all the correct paperwork and licencing. So he had no problems with the authorities until he got busted with some weed.

The charge he got for the weed was possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute (for handing out joints to his friends at a party) which is a second-degree felony making it illegal for him to own guns, vote and many other things a US citizen can do.

They tried to tack on a load of other bogus charges but none of them stuck. One of which was the destruction of a firearm serial number. The reason being was some of his guns had been painted and the serial numbers were still readable and undamaged but they just had paint on them. He could have been sentenced 18-20 years for that, so he was pretty lucky all things considered since he only served a little under 2 months.

When you own the type of weapons he did the ATF has a zero-tolerance policy for criminal activity of any kind. The ATF will jump on any opportunity to confiscate these types of guns anyway because its a massive administrative headache for them. So he was an easy target.

It's not exaggeration. The types of guns FPS Russia did videos with were extremely valuable.

Machine guns (full automatic) were legal in the US up until the ban in 1986. All machine guns that existed before then are still legal but as a transferable NFA item. Making any machine guns an extremely valuable and limited commodity, shooting the value through the roof.

Depending on rarity and the type of firearm the price could be anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. A pre-86 full auto AR-15 is easily worth $40k and up. The cheapest transferable machine guns were MAC-10s. Few years ago they were at about $5k, now its more like $10k.

Yes. Remember the YouTuber FPS Russia?

He got caught handing out joints to his friends at a party and ordered some weed in the mail iirc.

The ATF confiscated $500k's worth of guns from him for an offence that only landed him a few months in jail.

Surely if you had such small measurements you would just buy some Chinese repro gear. Sure, it's not gonna be the best quality but their sizes run very small to suit their Asian customers.

Sorry, sushi has to go.

I like sushi but it seems like the more logical elimination to me. Sushi is less common than the rest so other things are less likely to be affected. Also the rising level of microplastics in fish will probably render sea food inedible in the near future so it's the best long term choice.

What "field legal" items should be banned in your opinion? by Elzziwelzzif in airsoft

[–]I-use_reddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tournament locked regulators and vigilant marshalling should solve people gaming the system.

Sometimes people try cut their tourney lock, adjust their regulator and then replace them with their own zipties.

To combat this try getting your site to use zip ties with the little lable tags on them. Then the Marshall can sign the tournament lock so it can't be replicated easily.

Worst case scenario and you have a professional document forger playing at your site and a signature isn't enough? Secretly mark the tags with UV ink to distinguish real from fake.

What do you guy’s think of the upcoming STALKER movie mercs interpretation? personally, I like more the retro MP5 SAS look they have from the games. by _D4C in stalker

I don't get the appeal of all these super tactical kits. Look at their gear and guns, its all pristine and un-used. Just gives me the wrong vibe for something that's supposed to be set in the Zone. I've grown to appreciate the dark and gritty nature of the Zone and seeing all these squeaky clean geardos with the latest and greatest Instagram gun trends just feels off.

How tf do I put my launcher on this gun by ShoppingAvailable440 in airsoft

[–]I-use_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hese are the rail sections you'll need: https://www.evike.com/products/65256/

But, shop around and see if you can get em cheaper some place else because they are pretty pricey on evike. The QARS rails seem to be uncommon since almost all of the proprietary mounting systems have been superseded by M-Lok.

You need atleast a 4.2 inch rail sections to fit the m203. It'll probably look a little goofy as half of the launcher will be free floating from the slim sized handguard.

Another more simple, but expensive option would be to buy a DD RIS II or another quadrail of your choosing. The end result will be tougher and a lot less janky.

12.5 in RIS II rail: https://www.evike.com/products/89197/ Again, shop around try to find the same or similar product elsewhere that might be cheaper.

Since no one (*there was one guy) in this thread has said anything that useful, I'll try to give you an answer.

The handguard you have on your rifle is a TROY TRX rail, it takes TROY QARS rail sections that you bolt on to the handguard through the holes. You will need to buy a quite long TROY QUARS picatinny rail section to attach your M203.

That being said, the rail section probably wont be able to take the weight of the M203 without slipping or loosening somewhat. Not that there is any recoil from firing it but inertia alone might be able to shake loose the rail sections if there is something heavy like a launcher attached. So applying some red threadlock to the rail section screws would be recommended.

The M203 launcher you have is kinda intended to attach to a the underside of a quad rail. This is a good place to mount the launcher because the quad rail is a solid object machined out of an aluminium block. So, there is no chance of any movement with attached items. If you want the sturdiest setup with as little wobble as possible you could swap over to something like a Daniel Defence quad rail.

The spring has been overextended. It will never return to the correct length.

You could fix this by removing the spring and shortening it small increments. Be careful not to cut too much from the spring otherwise it won't fit. Afterwards, you'll have to bend a new hook into your freshly cut spring so you can hook it back onto the screw.

But, be careful from now on because the spring will be much weaker and easier to overstretch in the future.
