re: Where to buy an AR-15

I have this LWRC DI M-LOK Ar-15, it's a good rifle but because it is direct impingement rifle it requires more cleaning than your standard gas piston ar-15. I only paid $900 for mine, but given the state we are in now, $1500 isn't that bad.

Is this thing streaming anywhere? Amazon doesn't seem to have it, and I haven't personally checked Netflix but I've read it's not on there either. I'm gonna have to check and see if I got the box DVD set back in the day.


Decent quality on Youtube.

Hate crime was charged.


Hate crime charge dropped.

The San Francisco district attorney’s office said Monday it is withdrawing charges and pursuing a “restorative justice” model against a 20-year-old man arrested in the robbery of an elderly Asian man in his 70s that was captured on a video that went viral.

Had this been a white man, he would be crucified. AND no, I'm not white.
Utah will be a haven for Muslims. The Mormons have no idea what they have done to themselves and to Utah.

Every year my friend has one shipped to me, and I wish that cheap arse would send two! :wah:

Here is what I don't understand, if the solution is to eradicate humans, why hasn't he eradicated himself? The environmentalists always talk the talk, but never walk the walk.
Iranian TV is reporting at least 80 US soldiers have died. Some dude on Twitter claims 20 American casualties. Report that US consulate in Erbil has been hit. So many reports are coming in, not sure if they are credible or not.

I'm not surprised that they would pick Clemson to win. Clemson has been to the finals 3 times in the last 4 years and twice defeated an unbeaten Alabama to win it all.

Everybody keeps saying they have a soft schedule and they will wilt when they play a real team. Well, last year when they faced a real team, the big bad red elephant, they broke of it's tusks and shoved them up it's arse.

They are proven winner on the biggest stage of college football, why wouldn't the "experts" pick Clemson? It's a safe pick. Me...I pick the Bayou Bengals :geauxtigers:

Actually, you are second. See that upvote he got? That was from me before you posted. Please edit your post to second, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. :geauxtigers:

You have to take in account that their soldiers, workers and scientists are paid a LOT less then their counterparts in America and Europe. They also steal technologies so they save money on r&d. Put it all together, they don't have to spend as much as we do. As an example, a M1A2 tank cost $6 million, while the Chinese Type 99 main battle tank is estimated to cost $2.6 million.

Is it?

You have a team coming off a good, but not great year, who has to replace their starting QB, top two RB's, top two WR's, and two veteran starters on the OL. Combine that with the fact that they have a new OC who hasn't been a full time OC in 20 years and a HC who only has one winning season (last year) in his entire career as a HC.

That's not said to bash LSU or suggest they can't have a great 2018 season. But I don't see how it's "crazy" that LSU is not being highly touted in preseason predictions when simply just looking at the objective facts.

O, Ensminger, and this team have to earn national respect. They aren't just going to be given it because of the success of past teams/coaches.



Exactly this! I still like our chances to win it all. :geauxtigers:
This country WAS stupid. This country elected Obama, the 2nd worst president ever, with Warren Harding being the worst, not once but twice! That is a definition of stupidity.
