Or are you wandering off at random onto another rant. Time for your meds, perhaps? That you don't understand the reference just shows how out of touch you are. Well I do actually. Right. You've read it again and got the point. But you are so windup-able, sweetie, I couldn't resist. Nice try. But I can spot a genuine wind up from a mile. Even one from an expert. Treat it as a free whoosh, since you are so short of them. But the issue of teenagers obsessing about their Facebook/Instagram/etc friends/likes/photos without having any real social relationships is worrying a lot of people these days.

And he can't, I suppose, see the hypocrisy and irony in that. He says he cant understand the Nazis. I tell him its just like animal rights with guns, that's all. And he is being manipulated in identical ways by identical propaganda. Has he read any history books? He might understand them better if he did (note for the dimwits he understanding does not imply approval). Raised in Germany, he has read all the politically correct history books, and has even had a whole course devoted to Nazism. He thinks he knows far more about it than I do. And yet after all that, he "can't understand the Nazis". Odd, really. What does he think led to their rise, then? Well exactly. Are Germans just intrinsically evil? He wants an excuse, to make sure he isn't. I try to tell him 'we would all be guards at Auschwitz, if the alternative was to be an inmate' Not everyone would and it is never that binary. And quite a few guards behaved themselves too. Don't be sop Germanic. You know what I mean. -- "If you dont read the news paper, you are un-informed.

So as to convince themselves that they never would have. The virtue-signalling Left are exactly the sort of people who would be up there with the machine guns.

They were marketed bored out to 0.410. My ambition was to make use of the magazine for multiple loading. Sadly the blunt nose on fourlong shot cartridges made for very unreliable re-loading and the gun was much too heavy for snap shooting anyway.
