tac,

Why are those guns still there and not melted down for plow shares?

Beto is what happens when you hand out trophies for not achieving.

To which guns do you refer, Sir?

 

[BPOR11]

it's only going to serve to get Trump re-elected by a Reganesque type landslide..

It better be with biden as the likely nominee.

Thank You!

But that's the only way the precious little snowflakes will ever get one, bless their hearts.

tac,

The ones you mentioned could be seen from England with inexpensive field glasses...I think.

Truly terrifying stuff that happened in those days. And some men in the battle for Britain made of pretty stern stuff. I see those keep calm and carry on signs in light of the shelling, bombings, buzz bombs and have to admire the spirit of a people in peril keeping calm and carrying on. Thanks for the perspective.

Ah, as a reminder, I guess. Of the lives they took when being used, and the lives they took to silence them forever.

Beta is out.... but my AR's and AK's are still here!


Silly Beta..... you should have known better.

That's some moving video tac. Thank you.....Also, Id like to believe it's not all massaged and bent/twisted to push some kind of agenda like all the media does now. Just pure, raw reality.

It's mind blowing watching those people doing what they had to do with being shelled from 30 miles away day after day, weekly, what ever. It makes me sad as hell that so many people now these days would need a safe space if their cell phone quit working.

Mike, the point of these Movietown and Pathe newsreels was definitely propagandist. They belittled the efforts of the nazis in every way possible at the time, be showing solidarity and defiance in trhe face of the most horrendous adversity imaginable. The Luftwaffe has genuinely flattened major European cities - Rotterdam, Warsaw and earlier, Guernicá in Spain, which the Luftwaffe used for live-fire practice.

Basically, all these movies, showing what would otherwise appear to be utter devastation, had a common theme - 'do your worst - WE will NOT be beaten!!!' And 'business as usual, in spite of not having a business any more...'

If you have minute of two, take a look at the city of Coventry after a visit by the Luftwaffe - the need for revenge was VERY strong after this ------

Watched "Spitfire" on Netflix last night.

Great documentary.

A great airplane, of that there is no doubt. ASnd very definitely THE most beautiful to see and hear in flight. I'm very lucky that I live so near the IWM Duxford, where I can see them fly almost every time I visit.

I have the reflector gunsight belonging to the Grace Spitifre. It was credited with shooting down the very first German airplane on D-Day. It came to me from the stores section at IACB Casement/Baldonnel, having been removed when its parent Spitfire was taken into back into service after conversion to a two-seater trainer after its active life was over. The British government had previously 'donated' a number of spitfires to the IAC.

Best not to ask quite how I got it, comprendé?

No doubt, I see your point. But more like the pep-talk a coach give his team at half time when they're down by 10 points. Not such a bad thing at the time I think.

 

[Tank245]

I kinda wish he would've come to take the AKs. They are some crazy dudes out there with AKs who have been waiting to build that big igloo.

 

[Legion489]

I tell people I would never own a AK-47 or AR-15. Then they say "There is one right there!" I say "Yes, but the others are in the safe."

 

[Howard1955]

OK The whole group is pretty delusional but Beto's pretty much lost his marbles. I do have to thank the guy for making the NRA's message a lot easier to deliver.

Delusional, eh?
