Austin is out of control.

Plenty of bullets... sadly no gun yet. I “could” get one but made decision to simply wait on the process to proceed - and it will. Done all I need to do. Filed necessary paperwork 6/22. Jest waiting now.

What gun are you thinking you want ? Supply up here is terrible right now. Seems like you should be getting it soon. It seems like mine only took a couple of weeks to get, but that was several years ago and there was no pandemic at that time. So, maybe that is a factor.

Awww.. they misplaced my DD214 and that set me back 2 weeks. Should get it in the coming week. I have a P226 MK25 in the back of BassPro with my name on it. Still waiting on NICS for that. Can’t use LTC there if it comes first so might bail on that and go in a different direction.

So you believe the flu numbers? Do we believe any numbers? People argue flu=Covid but we can't use Covid numbers but we can use flu numbers? I don't know if the numbers are correct and neither do you. I just reported what the numbers that TMA had. Take them with a grain of salt, or not. If the TMA numbers are correct, Covid is worse than flu.

There was no political agenda with the media driving a mass hysteria with the flu.

If you can't see that difference, not much to help you.

Well, thanks for your service.

Nice gun !

I didn't know the media collected and reported numbers for the Chinese flu. I guess I thought Johns Hopkins and the CDC did that.

Do you honestly believe that?

 

[Antares]

You can't believe the number of deaths anymore as long as the Feds are paying the hospital money for every Covid death recorded suddenly almost everyone that dies in a hospital is a covid death. IMHO

 

[oldag]

Do you honestly believe that?

Umm, yes.

Did we shut the country down for the flu? Didn't think so.

 

[oldag]

So you think the virus numbers are totally accurate? That every death reported is solely due to the virus?

By their own admission, many government health agencies have reported "died with the virus present" along with the "died from the virus" statistics.

Colorado got caught reporting an alcohol poisoning death as a virus death just because the virus was present in the body. Shortly thereafter the state medical agency, one of those medical agencies you apparently trust, lowered the virus death count by 25% overnight.

No, I don't think that. But what does it matter ? I figure they are close enough as an order of magnitude. Doesn't make the Chinese virus less of a problem.

"CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season.Jan 8, 2020"


Nobody asked people to wear a mask....

"False narrative". Are you for real? Where have you been for the last several years? The BLM's narrative, "black lives matter" is patently false from the time they organized. They care nothing about black lives. Why aren't they in Chicago protesting about all the black lives lost to other black in all sorts of violent criminal acts? No, they are nothing but a political organization that is built upon a false premise of police brutality, of so-called "victims" who when the dust settled, were simply nothing more than thugs or criminals.

The whites jumping on that bandwagon, seem to be ashamed of being white, and want to apologize for having white privilege, and expect other whites to do the same thing. If you don't, then you must be a racist.

Well color me a racist, because I'll be damned if I apologize for being born white, and have never had any kind of white privilege in my lifetime.

Personally, you might study up on what these groups are "protesting" before jumping in and making declarations about maybe things you seem to have little understanding of. Because asking such a question, leads me to believe you don't have a clue about these protesters and what is really going on. Just an observation.

“White privilege” is a lie created and perpetuated by the Democrat party to sew racial division and hatred among folks that had genuinely respected each other. They say the lie again and again until it becomes truth. Nothing y’all haven’t heard a million times before. Why do they do it? Because it’s effective in luring otherwise uninterested voters into believing that they may get something for “free”. Another Democrat party tactic. “Give” just enough so folks can survive, the only cost is your vote.

And don’t forget the 33 Florida labs/test centers that were reporting a 100% positive rate. That is statistically impossible. They think we are really stupid.

You as a newish member don't know the game yet. There are multiple members here that get high just for the sake of arguing with you, they know everything, and you will always be wrong.

When it comes to guns they may be smart (and I can't confirm that either). When it comes to anything else just take it with a grain of salt.

On the other hand, debate is always fun just for the sake of anonymous debate and we are all stuck at home with nothing else to do. You have to be anti immunization, a disbeliever of all "facts" unless those "facts" prove your point, and will never wear a mask even if it would save your fellow citizens life. Also, never mention the true dirty words of all time, bill of sale.

I guess I missed something in the translation. Your reactions suggest you believe the media is implicitly involved with the democrats/leftist political machine. But your word suggest the opposite. Am I missing some implied sarcasm here?

That affects the positivity rate, but does not affect the number of positive tests.

And the number of tests performed by those labs are insignificant...won't even cause a rounding error in the data.

"Today alone there are 98 labs reporting positive results, accounting for 355 positive tests," said Jon Taylor, a PhD student at Florida Atlantic University.

Yes, I may be new on here, but this is not my first rodeo. But thanks for your post and information. I'll be on the lookout for those people.

I am pro immunization and will always wear a mask. And I think Trump is an idiot but I'm still going to vote for him. That should pretty well spell out my failures and personality faults.

I think I already see who some of them may be.

Thanks a lot for the heads up.

Trump cannot be that much of an idiot, he is the POTUS, you and I are just anonymous individuals on the internet. LOL, many of us here will, have rousing discussions, have a thick skin and join in!

Damn, just when the reading got interesting..........nothing. I am so disappointed.
