Can Biden be any more senile than Trump? He can't be more psychopathic than Trump.

Absolutely. Biden's wife should be shopping for a Alzheimer's facility as they have waiting lists to get into the good ones and he is just one bad day away from needing one.

He can't be more psychopathic than Trump.

Probably not, and if he was he couldn't remember a crazy thought long enough to act on it.

There is a difference between senile and stupid. Although they might look similar in some regards.

Being in the public eye for decades there is a lot of Biden film clips out there. A clear decline can be seen in tape from five or ten years ago compared to today and people don't usually get stupider as they age but do have the onset of dementia. I'm not a doctor but he is clearly not up to the job of POTUS today and the party needs to reconsider their nominating him.

We have been getting the government we deserve for awhile now. This coming election is likely to be the nadir to date.

Yes I see that and also Newsom governor of California. Both a better plan then sticking with Biden but I doubt they have the means to actually make the change.

Possible, with the way smoke filled backroom antics COULD play out, but unlikely.

I've just deleted two posts which didn't add anything useful to this discussion. One addressed political aspects of a nation but wasn't written in a way which invited polite or constructive discussion.

In the current circumstances can we please be civil with each other. If anyone feels like picking a fight please can you seek one of the many sources of counselling available online or by phone.

Someone posted they had a significant chunk of a case of 9mm for sale, pre-panic buying prices no less, and local as opposed to the last unrealized deal down in the Springs, I was on it like white on rice and within an hour, squirreling it all away in the footlocker.

I've never filled the Korean War surplus footlocker to the brim before, but as of now, it officially is. Maybe I could fit a small box of 22 WMR, but that is about it.

And it is officially immovable. Sure, if I enlist the kid on one side, and me on another, we can get it to grudgingly budge, sliding on carpet. But I can't get enough of a purchase on carpet to do it alone. Not sure how many hundreds of pounds it is now, but should MZBs arrive, the only question is how fast we can load the magazines there in the closet because we sure can't move the cache up the stairs!

I am limited to 200 rounds per weapon although there is no check on my expenditure of ammunition. I don't know if this is standard or whether I could ask to have the amount increased through higher usage. It's never really bothered me.

Well, if they don't keep track by doing inspections of your ammo supply, how can they tell?

There has been some useful international discussion on various types of firearm in this thread as well as criticism/ mocking of each other's laws and attitudes to gun ownership. I have started to clamp down on what I consider excess.

Well, if they don't keep track by doing inspections of your ammo supply, how can they tell? You can claim to use 100 rounds (while not using 100 rounds) and then go buy some more. Seems like, given time, you could work your way up to a nice stash.

I'm collecting ammo because my center fire supply had dipped into "less than a case (1000 rounds)" range for one of my popular centerfire calibers. I think I've done some 4 parking lot deals now, 2 small ones, 2 pretty big ones. It is only a foot lockers worth of ammo. When I am low, I can tell because I've got magazines and firearms all locked up in there with the ammo, and the thing can be moved. Last night I finally had to remove 2 pistols, their holsters and some other random items to make room to fill'er up! And now the locker can't be moved. So right now you could say I'm measuring ammo by how many kilo's of it I have. Has to be 100kg+, maybe even 150kg+

.. and this is the guy who made a career of mocking the over cautious wackos .. or as we call them nowadays the well prepared.

Anyway if you ever need more than a couple of magazines of ammo it's probably your last day ...

In the UK only terrorists and gangsters trade ordnance in parking lots!

That said, in the 1980s I once helped an associate move 30+ (legal!) sub machine guns from one car boot to another in the car park of a major London hotel. (It's a long story ... I worked for a while in an 'interesting' field)
