Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

[Dribble]

I wonder...what would Google give me if I search something like "0.22 caliber murder rate"?

 

[TrailerHitch]

Key word is in bold. AS to the non natural trees leaves killing your non native grass. That is a whole other topic.

Actually the Silver Maple is 100% native to Wisconsin and the grass in my yard was whatever grew there, and had grown there since my former in-laws bought the place in 1946. So I'm not sure what you point is. Native trees or not 12 or more inches of leaves will completely cover your grass and kill it.

Perhaps that act served to galvanize the searchers to put down their donuts and to do their jobs.


In other news: Day # 15,491: Wat went to sleep with a loaded firearm within reach and somehow was able to survive the night.

Actually, if you want to make a comment like that at least be factual. Since the dog apprehended him he must have had to put down his chew toy so he could do his job.

Pretty low I imagine.

It looked like a scoped Ruger 10/22

I've owned a 10/22 Carbine for 44 years. It is accurate, reliable and a great varmint and plinking rifle. Amazingly it hasn't wounded or killed anyone.

I stand corrected on theSilver Maple. I didn’t think it was naturally growing that far west.

My point is to people who waste money raking up and bagging leaves. It is unnecessary.

If your lawn is native, then 12” or20” of leaves on it, is “natural” and the grass will do just fine.

Myself I find green manicured grass the most boring thing to view. Not to mention a complete waste of effort.

If you want a green manicured lawn, put in some artificial turf. Your Saturdays or Sundays extra time will thank you!

That would depend on whether you included the CIA, KGB, and the mafia, whose popular choice for assassinations was the .22 pistol. If I remember right the OSS/CIA used the suppressed High Standard .22lr pistol.

You’re from Wisconsin, I did some time at Ft McCoy. Never saw so many deer in all my life hunting. Beautiful country.

You are quite possibly the most uninformed judgmental hypocrite I have ever had the displeasure to deal with.

Number 1, do you even know where Wisconsin is? Its on the eastern side of the Mississippi River in the upper mid-west. (This ignorance of where Wisconsin is makes me believe you are NOT a US citizen or resident.)

Number 2, I told you that I tried to keep up with mulching it but with working 2 jobs and having kids that were in hockey that wasn't always possible. I never bagged the leaves, I raked them onto a tarp and dragged them back to my rather substantial compost pile.

Number 3, BULL SHIT. It kills the grass off until the leaves compost and then mostly what appears is weeds, usually thistles. So no thank you. We had 16 acres there and less than 2 of it was mowed the rest was natural and mostly native plants. Here in Tennessee our property is bordered by forest and we turned over an acre of lawn back to native grasses and wildflowers specifically for the bees, butterflies and other bugs and wildlife.

Number 4, Then don't mow you lawn and don't fucking worry about what anyone else does with theirs.

Number 5, Great plan, artificial turf. Successfully killing off all the bugs, and other creatures that live in your yard as well as destroying anyway for the soil to absorb rainfall and snow melt. You really thought this one through didn't you?

So tell me Mr Environmentalist what have you ever done for the birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife?

Grass stuff is fun stuff.

We had anywhere from 5 to 7 over the years that crossed our yard from our back woods to the woods across the street by the creek that was over there. Heck in the over 40 years I drove in Wisconsin I managed to hit 4 dear, killing 3. One slid sideways into my car door, left no damage but a shit stain on the door!!

It can be if some city hick tries to talk about rural life.

I remember going on our PT 5 mile runs early morning 04:30, you could see hundreds of eyeballs foraging in the fields surrounding our Barracks, what a difference from MA.

Actually, I think that the number of shootings with .22s is probably fairly high. Two reasons would be, they're cheap and they're plentiful. There was mention of assassin handguns. Seems to me that Gary Gilmore did his killings with a .22.


I recall they shot him with something a bit more substantial.

Oh yeah, we had plenty of fields around by us that would have 50 or more deer. Pretty common. It was almost as common to see dead deer on the side of the road. What a mess it was when a semi would hit one at 70 to 80 mph.

What I said was I didn't know Acer saccharinum was native to Wisconsin. Is that really to hard to understand? But really, lets not let your grade 8 reading comprehension get in the way of your "anger"....*chuckles*

You butted in with a post on my conversation with Ican't, so fuck off with your shit. I don't really care.

You still haven't done anything to make me believe you are n American or even live in the US. No US citizen would remotely consider Wisconsin west.

Using google to find the scientific name for the Silver Maple doesn't mean anything. Any grade school child could have done that.

He’s a fucking busybody Canadian. He doesn’t know what planet he’s on never mind where Wisconsin is on the map.

He also never answered my question..."So tell me Mr Environmentalist what have you ever done for the birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife?" But then again I never expected that he could or would.

lol sure ican't, sure. But to be honest I never worked in Wisconsin.

I should also mention since my grandmother is from Salt Lake city Utah, I got like no idea of any of the 50 states.....lol
