    What Has Happened to the Smith and Wesson Forum?

    If you're just here for the firearms content, browsing the firearms specific forums, you're very unlikely to see any posts that cause you any angst. If you stray off into The Lounge or 2nd Amendment forum which are all about opinions, you're unlikely to see much of anything relating to...

    Are We At War Now?

    My question has been for years now why it has taken so long for us to decide to finally do this. This is a nation subjugated by a fanatical theocracy (from a sect that believes that only an Armageddon brought about their actions can initiate their salvation) who has been howling "Death to...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    You now have a perfect record of not responding to my points, but instead responding with additions to your list of complaints of what makes you a victim. While at the same time your alternative response to myself and others is that we didn't respond to your points...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    And I notice that's the best response you've got to multiple people posting here. While doing exactly that yourself numerous times!

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Remember back in the good old days when we looked at the rich, before they became today's The Evil Rich Who Don't Pay Their Fair Share Of Taxes, and they were a symbol of what we could achieve if we wanted that and were willing to work hard enough and smart enough to end up the same? Before we...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    You refuse to acknowledge that people have been living long enough to exceed their contributions for a long, long time - the first recipients of Social Security got a thousand times more in benefits than they paid in. That went on for a long time before the crossover to where we are today...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Exactly the wrong question to ask this Boomer, son. Outside of the military where a 40-50 hour week can be the norm, I was regularly working 80+ hours a week as a regular work week, not just when overtime was available. Doing so alongside others doing the same, both before and after...

    Looking at a 1989 Hi Power

    Sure, although you've already taken the plunge, apparently. I've been carrying an FN High Power on and off the job since the mid 1970's when we were told we could purchase a pistol to carry instead of our Model 10s when working in plainclothes instead of in uniform. I headed off to the nearest...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Because those people who enrage you so much ALSO had large amounts of money withdrawn from THEIR paychecks under threat of force to pay for people who also had financial assets to pay for themselves. No different than you right now. Same situation, no difference. BUT NOW... they shouldn't...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Tell us how it isn't straight out delusional Marxist socialism to demand that older people should feel obligated (or be forced by government) to liquidate their life's wealth? All in order to "redistribute the wealth" (where did we hear THAT before) to the sub-set in the working class who are...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    That's exactly what Marx (and Engels) said! Mike Rowe, on the other hand, pointed out how many of today's Evil Rich started out as working class people who today could claim to be handicapped by "disparity and lack of opportunity". Rowe also said: Opportunity usually shows up in overalls and...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Earmark identity politics entitlements and benefits are all addressed towards the geriatric class that are collecting that welfare because they can't get by on what they built, paid for, saved, invested, etc in all the years that they worked? Not to primarily benefit the generations (and their...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    And I'll take that as a hint that you have no intention of reading Sowell or any other economist and contrasting what they present to defend your YouTube social influencer's Marxist view of economics. And clearly, you not only never read or watched the work and explanations of actual...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    The Boomer Blame Game ends with those born in 1964; those born after that year have been voting on Social Security and all other budget issues since 1982. Voters in the 2024 election were borne in 2006, 24 years later, if my math is right. That's about 12 federal elections, I guess. I won't...

    Why the disdain for “rich” people ?

    Yes, I actually watched enough of that video and bits of a few of his other videos to see the repeated use of the word "Boomer" as a prejorative, along with the Marxist/socialist blame game. And the underlying current of Marxist theology that he bases his view of economics on. You had no time...
