Amazingly a U.S. newspaper said Russian forces killed a dozen ISIS and critically wounded one of their kahunas, which ISIS denied.

What have you boys heard?

But, should you have jumped through those hoops, and do own a small arsenal of AR based rifles (like the Las Vegas shooter), is there anything to stop you selling any, or all, of those AR based rifles to anybody at all, without any sort of background check or anything (in a peer-to-peer sale)?

No, except to anyone under 21 in Minn, or anyone who cannot legally buy a firearm.
Should I do that, I am subject to State and Federal prosecution.
Technically, if you go to a shooting range and even let those who cannot legally own fire your weapon, if they are total ass holes, they could make your life miserable even if you beat any charge they bring against you.
The buyer of the ARs in Nevada passed all State and Federal rules and checks. Law enforcement said he raised absolutely zero red flags.

What I find difficult to understand, and it is probably because I have no personal interest whatsoever in owning or using firearms, is why any private individual would want to own a machine gun. The fact that it is legal to do so in the US if you are wealthy enough is not something to be proud of.

No pride goes before the fall, but it is fully worth being pleased as punch about, as it is a great way to have fun and a nice investment.

As a matter of note, though I may be wrong though, these are the only ones I know of for sale, Bump-stocks can only be fitted to rifles based on the AR-10 or AR-15 which are the best know black, color stock work, rifles.
Also, at least in Minn. , sales of AR based rifles have more hoops to jump through than other black rifles.

They were supposed to say what?

Ignorant hateful blather, the usual response from Democrats.

To this day, if I hear an aircraft flying over head I will stop what I am doing to look at it.
My home town put in a dirt strip back when it had six thousand people, sadly that airport had more traffic with the original dirt strip and the town being less than half as big as it is now, even though far more are parked there year round.
Where I am at now, some gent put a small private but available to public for a fee, dirt strip near a former tiny town, about five miles from here.
There are three small aircraft parked there all summer and I slow down to look every time I drive by.

you should check the definition of word “full scale”. what about half scale and one fourth scale?
I wouldn’t be surprise Trump is doing this as favor to Russia by escalating in Korea. Already tourist and factories are fleeing Korea. hot war will make North Korea victory assured as people in South simply cant live in that standard of living.

LOL:rolleyes:

The replies here are bizarre at best.

3 things you need to know

(1) TUSAS Engine Industries has been producing the Pratt & Whitney F100 engine under licence since the 1980’s;
(2) Turkey has indigenous turbo-fan engine technology but it is not yet fuel-efficient for competitive commercial use (c.f. with military use). The TJ-90 and the Kale 3500
(3) Turkey has several partnerships which will make Turkey’s turbo-fan engine technology fuel-efficient: one with Rolls Royce (UK), Ivchenko-Progress (Ukraine) and ofcourse Russia. Kale’s partnership with Rolls-Royce has matured and the Joint-Venture is tendering for the TF-X engine. See http://www.defense-aerospace.com/art…_x-engine.html

That is the assembly of engines not the construction of engines.
If Turkey annoys any of the suppliers of engines, they can and would be cut off.

So many here act as if U.S.–Russian communications is on the level of a PeeWee Herman movie.
Now as far as U.S. Congressional and Senate talking heads goes that may be deserved
BUT
Trump is not old school Wash. insider and will not disclose anything that informs of tactics or relations with Russian military, same for Russian information voices.
They have no reason to and are far from stupid as some here indicate.
You have reduced this war to the level of a dispute between high school girls.
