    In addition to your points, Ipretty strongly agree with the various ideas that all of the bans, gun free zones, and other firearm villification just serves to glorify them to those that would do the rest of us harm. Its a terrible feedback loop that especially seems to impact the rare but terrifying mass killings we've seen over the years.

    That same scam is also ran on every other payment method. These would all be prevented by not accepting checks that aren't for the exact amount and don't pay the difference in cash to the check writer.

    I'm being a little nitpicky, but there are issues even in the single action section since the say,

    One big downside is that unlike more modern revolvers, the cylinder that holds all the ammo is fixed so you can’t just swing it out and eject all the cartridges at once. You have to eject one by one…and then load one by one.

    Top breaks like the Schofield eject everything all at once and many are single action. The swing out cyclinder isn't inherently part of it being double action, but is uncommon to find only one of the two features in a gun. The Colt 1877 was double action and used a typical single ejector rod.

    Have you seen the reduced recoil shells like the Winchester AA and RST? That may help with the manual actions if they also fit well.

    I call on the FDA, USDA, or whatever agency to use their power to add lunar regolith and all otger moon constituents to the accepted definition of cheese. I also suggest all other countries to just take our word for it since only us and the nazis have set foot on the moon and who are you going to trust? Us or the nazis?

    Those are probably Eastern Gray Squirrels not Western. The Easterns are causing the same problem for the Westerns. Eastern Grays were introduced all over for whatever reason.

    The hot and dry is a considerable contributor to the habitat loss though, from fires and disease. While tree species better adapted to those conditions may eventually come in, that is still habitat loss for a time to the squirrels.

  • I'm looking at my options for 14" bandsaws but notice the 17" grizzly 40th anniversary edition seems like its worth considering. Aside from the obvious size increase how does it compare to the usual 14" saws? Is something like the Laguna 14|12 or Rikon 10-324TG 14" saws have any advantages?
