I remember that, played it a few times at the California Brew Haus. I wasn't very good though. My game was "Stripper" I was pretty good at that. It needed a quick trigger finger. I wonder if anyone here remembers that one.I play a video game called asteroids. Came out in 1979 cost 25 cents. Got it on my computer. Pretty good at it after 46 years LOL

I'm not familiar with video games, but don't feel like I've missed out on anything. Have I?

That's the only one I played back in the 70's and that was just in the bar on friday nights. It wasn't politically correct (not that I give a rats ass) and would not be allowed today.

That is curious to me that you would be adament about not posting on Facebook, but post here. Do you reckon that the alaphabet agencies don't monitor the leading gun forums? Anyting that you ever post, is going to be in somebody's data base a hundred years from now, and, in the meantime, it is constantly waiting to show up at an embarassing moment and bite you in the butt.
Law enforcement is like Santa Claus, they are making a list, and checking it twice.
I knew an FBI agent who spent 3 or 5 years in Puerto Rico. For that assignment he was given his choice of a next assignment. He chose a small reservation in Oregon. Most Indian Reservation Police departments cannot investigate Federal crimes, murder or several others. An FBI agent is assigned to most reservations.
Correct. It used to be the sixteen major crimes, but not sure about now.

It's a conspiracy. We always need another one...
I am not someone that sees a spook in every bush if that is what you are implying. Are you under the impression that law enfocement agencies do not watch gun forums?
I don't think that that is some conspiracy, just a fact of life. Some algorithm is searching every word, looking for "dangerous" words to flag. That is exactly why the subject of the OP got a visit. It is certainly not only gun forums, I supect that liberal forums like the Democratic Underground are getting the exact same treatment. Information is power.

Well my big brother is dead and anyone who thinks there is something to watch in my personal life would be much better off to get their own personal life and try to enjoy it while they can. I commit few crimes and other than trying to get separation between me and other drivers that are oblivious to their actions, that will not change. If that changes they will never know it. As far as posting here be my guest, the cumulative knowledge of mankind would take many lifetimes in monitoring maybe more monitors than creators. I'd call it a very boring job.

Maybe law enforcement agencies monitor gun websites. I never gave it a thought. What does it hurt if they do and how do you know they are doing such in official or unofficial capacities? They do good work generally. I think the "spook in every bush" (your words) is quite appropriate in this case and I think my post was too. Relax. No one will get you.
Yea, whatever.
Avoid financial transactions in big numbers or with large amounts to sketchy online businesses or banks and to suspect cities/countries and you should be just fine. And don't add Abu Hamso from Garowe to your LinkedIn friend list.
In the UK, the Terrorism Act of 2000 makes it a crime to possess "information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".
An AI-assisted Google search advises that:
- This can include items like guides for making weapons or explosives, propaganda videos, or publications glorifying terrorist acts.
- Proof required: To secure a conviction, the prosecution must demonstrate that the accused possessed the material, that the material could be useful for terrorist activities, and that the accused intended for it to be used for such purposes.
- Recent cases: In May 2025, a man received a three-year prison sentence for possessing a large quantity of extreme right-wing terrorist material.
- Penalties: The maximum penalty for possessing material for terrorist purposes is 15 years in prison.

My 'like' does't mean I LIKE it. People are nuts. And I can handload anything subsonic, but I use 95 grain bullets in .380s and also use them to make 9mm 'Screamers' to make my PPC carbines a little more flat shooting out to about 75 yards.
Agree. At one time people kept their private lives private. Now they post everything and some moron gets offended,

This is the stripper game I played. Definitely NSFW. The link has 2 pictures, one showing the cabinet and the other explaining the game.
It was extremely low tech but one that I was able master quickly especially being a teenager in the bar.

I have long had several social media accounts. I use them to my advantage.
I don't post anything that would cause rotor wash over my home.
