[QUOTE="parkurtommo"]Guns do not kill people, people kill people.Overlord93

Not true, it's the bullets that do the killin. Unless you're talking about melee, but you could use a club or a rock with the same effect. ;)

Got it. I admittedly am not an expert on firearms - swords are my forte. I just know enough to hold a coversation. That and I have an interest in knowing more.

Is it durable?

Yes, it is extremely durable. Some testers have put over 10,000 rounds through without a failure. I shot about 250 rounds on Saturday. No problems.

Wait, does that thing bend? :shock:

Looks like it's collapsable for portability.

But where does the magazine go, TC? It looks rather bare to me. I don't know why but something looks off. It also has a plasticy look to it.

Yes. It's a carbine rifle than folds in half. The magazine feeds into the pistol grip like a normal hand gun. It is cheap and and light due to the abundance of polymer in the construction. However, it fires well and is as reliable as a Glock with the accuracy of an AR-15. Oh yeah, it also fits in a backpack or laptop case. Also, just because I consider this a toy, does mean I treat it with any less respect than it deserves. I use the term with the same application as a boat or any recreational vehicle. If you lose respect for things that are dangerous, then you are inviting that danger to harm or kill. Seriously though, you need to chill out.

Just picked this up over the weekend. Chambered in .40 S&W. Uses Glock mags. Love it. What new toys have you acquired lately OT?

10 girlfriends including my wife. We have been married over 11 years.

But only for interviews. I have a "real" job and wear pretty much whatever I want.

The question is framed to equate masculinity to Tomboyishness or the like. I don't feel attraction to butch girls, which is what I mean when I say "masculine". I do like Tomboys, because in general, most of them are feminine and not butch. Masculinity and femininity don't, IMO, have as much to do with their ability to fit in as "one of the group" among the opposite sex, their choices in entertainment, or their extracurricular activities. It has more to do with their mannerisms, how they present themselves, and their appearance.I don't want a partner to be the caricature of a Southern Belle, but I do want her to be feminine.

My ex-fiance was a Tomboy through and through. She loved football. At any game we went to, she would scream bloody murder and act like one of the guys. Yet she was definitely feminine and could never be confused for anything other than a female. I, on the other hand, didn't care for football or sports in general. I preferred opera, much to her chagrin, as she pretty much couldn't stand it. We had a compromise, I'd go to her games and put up with her incessant yelling at the players, the coach, and the officiators, as well as the utterly boring play-by-play action, and she'd go to my operas and put up with screeching sopranos and grown men with Vienna Boys Choir voices.

Hmm, sounds like you two had role-reversal identity issues...

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]Israeli settlers have been constructing settlements on occupied land for decades, often with the help of the Israeli government. By definition that is a violation of international law. Time after time the UN and other international bodies address this issue they find it to be illegal. There's not only the conference to the fourth geneva convention that I linked to - there's UN resolutions, rulings by international courts, ect. -Sun_Tzu-

Every country that exists today has done this at one time or another. Why should Israel concede to mob rule because a bunch of Anti-semites voted against them at a meeting in recent history? Why can't other Arab countries "donate" land for the creation of a non-contested Palestinian state if they feel so strongly about it?

The fourth Geneva convention had way more on its agenda than the Palestinian state. It's similar to bills of law in the US where you have to agree to all of it or none of it. That doesn't mean Israel agreed with every conclusion the convention came to.
