Price already went up to $499.99 since posting
I think you can replicate the $399 deal for $410:
- HAR stealth lower ($130) LINK
- BCG & charging handle ($90) LINK
- Upper ($190): LINK

Total = $410

Better get these $400 PSA deals quick, they won't last long.

PSA 11.5" Carbine 5.56 1/7 Nitride 10.5" Lightweight Hex MLOK Classic HAR-15 Pistol - Black - $399.99
That's insane. I have the same upper, which goes on sale for $189 routinely, and it's been flawless. PSA started pinning the gas blocks on these relatively recently, too.

The U.S. thought the same until it went up against a team that could do both in Belgium and lost their arse.
U.S. looked likely to equalize in the second half with tactical adjustments until Freese went full retard.

The best defense is a good offense

The difference in tactics and mentality from Spain vs. England when they went 1-0 up is incredibly stark.

You can't park the bus up 1-0 in a knockout game against a quality opponent. You're not only conceding all the possession and shot opportunities, but you're setting yourself up for failure in extra time and PKs in the case of an equalizer.

Just dumb.

No, she shouldn't. She should think about the Constitution and how that applies to the issue at hand. You sound like a gun control advocate here.
I’m not sure how anyone can say this is evidence of Argentina bias. The only reason VAR was able to intervene is because the ref gave Paredes an undeserved yellow.

The diving has got to be addressed, but I don’t think a 2nd yellow and forcing the Swiss to 10 men in the Semi-final is the right way to go about it.
If you’re on a yellow and are still diving you deserve to get sent off. Zero defending that.
Perfect call. Get that shite out of the game.

The answer to the OP’s question is a resounding YES; defense against a rogue government is the intent of the 2nd A, not bagging a nice 10 pointer or shooting birds.
I think they're all part of the intent of the 2A. Saying otherwise would presuppose a ban on hunting arms might be constitutional.

And there's plenty of evidence contemporary to the founders to support the position that it covers arms of all sorts (whether used for militia purposes, self-defense, hunting, or otherwise).
quote:

There are too many people in this country who believe things and conduct themselves in ways that are immoral and wrong. I strongly believe they are unfit to have a say in how the country is governed, but in our system they have the ability not only to vote, but to run for office and win.

In other words, the "greatest system of government in the history of the world" allows evil people with immoral intent to have power to make consequential policies and decisions.
The system was never designed to accomodate moral chasms among the population, and the founders acknowledged such.

Madison stated "To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea".

Adams noted "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

The political environment of the day and the representatives operating within it are simply a reflection of the people who put them in office (namely us). Politics attracts unsavory characters because we on the whole either endorse their immorality or support them in spite of it.
Take the L. It could be worse, you could be getting your credit destroyed like his sister who co-signed the car loan.

Shouldn’t be shocked a team ranked #16 finishes in the top 16.
We really need 2-3 of the Belgian players to do that thing where you cover your mouth and say something.
quote:

Just like Mexico. US is a round of 16 team. Good enough to get out of the group. Nothing more. Will always be like that.
Mexico took it to England. We look like shite in every aspect and are lucky to be down 1.
Belgium 1 on 3, no problem, dribble right through.

USA 3 on 1, can’t complete a pass.
Every ball in the box meets a Belgian foot or head.

They’re not doing anything special.
That last goal build-up had a blind backward header right into a teammate’s path. They can’t do anything wrong.
