Thanks for your comments John. I gave my reason for confronting Stevens hypocrisy and his self serving promotion for personal financial gain. In the interest of fairness, perhaps you should dig a little deeper to see if I have contributed any useful information. A while back, in response to an accusation similar to yours, craigd provided a bunch of links to posts I made that he found helpful and informative. Predictably, the time he spent offering proof fell on deaf ears. You obviously haven't looked very hard. And then you could do the same to see what Steven's little friend Billy contributes when he isn't hiding here in this sub-forum, pretending to be a gun guy:
Eightbore, If you took your head out that dark space and made an open-minded inquiry, you'd see that however unappealing the Clintons may be they're preferable to our moron-in-chief. I wouldn't support Hillary if I didn't see that she was, by experience and education, qualified to hold office. Trump is only qualified to lead a Mafia operation. Consider "Trump University". Ponder Stormy Daniels. A man who made a fortune preying on the gullible may not belong in jail, but he certainly does not belong in the White House.
Craig as usual has responded with an utterly incoherent diatribe. Conservatives have long opposed education at every level because it tends to shred their arguments in favor of policies that marginalize ordinary people in favor of those who own a disproportional amount of the country's wealth. As evidence, I offer the current tax "reform" scam.
I'm not belittling Trump. I'm describing him as he is- venal, self-absorbed, ignorant, impulsive, greedy, mendacious. The America I value is being undone by this miscreant. He makes George W seem like a hero. Hillary again? You need to move toward recovery. She's not news. Nobody is promoting her. As for Putin, he's your guy's buddy and, like you, he did all he could to elect him. Putin feared Clinton and chose your guy instead. Watch in wonder as the Russian chickens come home to roost.
You wouldn't recognize a fact if it kicked you in the nuts. You're a brainwashed cultist.
My hope for Trump is that the worse it gets, the sooner it will end.He is an embarrassment and a jerk. He isn't fit to polish Obama's shoes.
With your "Gasgunner" screen name, I'd assume you might be partial to semi-auto's. Billy sure isn't, and seldom misses an opportunity to bash them and offer his support for the anti-gunners who wish to ban them:
It's worth pointing out that accidental hiway deaths are not the same as deliberate murder. Both are severe issues and deserve attention. The answer to mass shootings by adolescents is to keep AR-15's out of their hands.
On another topic, the AR-15 is our worst enemy as gun owners. It has come to represent everything about firearms that the general public won't tolerate. It appeals precisely to those people who should never get their hands on a gun. Granted most owners are responsible people, but deranged shooters know it is the weapon of choice. Make them Class III.
And here's Billy comparing Buzz's desire to buy an AR-15, before they get banned again, to buying heroin:
Buzz, There are federal regulations against buying heroin. Does that make you want to go out and lay in a supply?
And here's one where Billy accused me of lying and also made the ridiculous assertion that an MMC Checkering Tool which runs at 17,000 rpm requires no lubrication for its' tiny gears and bearings. Useful indeed... if your goal is to destroy an expensive precision tool.
Keith, In reviewing some of our posts, I came across my request for advice about lubricating an MMC checkering tool. You responded to say that you knew what lubricant was needed but that you wouldn't share that information with someone like me. Later you posted a question about who sharpened the cutters for that tool. I posted the name and address of the company. PS: For anyone needing the lubrication data, the answer is none needed. Perhaps Keith knew that. Perhaps he was merely lying.
But once again... none of this has anything to do with the intended topics for this sub-forum. And I'm pretty sure your mind is made up. Even so, David Westbrook's book "Professional Stockmaking" will provide anyone here a lot more useful information on stock making than anything Steve has shown us here in his free advertisements for his classes. I've read your second sentence several times, and still don't understand what you were saying. But I think it means you like Steven, and disapprove of my responding to his recent attack on me, and because of that, you reject my plug for Westbrook's book. If you are into making gun stocks, that is your loss. But here is what some others have had to say about it. Reprinted in 2011:
