Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

I know. I do (kind of) wonder about a 7mm/.30-cal in a short barreled configuration. .458 SOCOM, I don't wonder about.
We'll see how that XM7 fairs in the next war. An ammo can of 6.8mm XM1186 (800 rounds) weighs 40 lbs, the same weight of 800 rounds of 5.56mm weighs 26 lbs. An ammo can of 5.56mm 1200 rounds weighs 37 lbs. So when it comes to the ability to gaining fire superiority the physical cost on the individual soldier will be greater in my opinion with punishing ammunitions loads being carried and debilitating rates of recoil absorption over potentially long periods of time. Imagine every soldier having to carry the ammo load of a WWII BAR man. :D
 
Massive Trump EO re. the 2nd. Amendment.

Saw that. It could be the most important pro 2A EO in history. Every Government agency will have to adjust it's regulations and policy at assure that no violations of Americans 2A rights are being permitted, with the exceptions noted.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Just as the body is designed to heal a broken bone, similarly the mind has the ability to heal itself from the trauma's of yesterday and the illusions of them tomorrow.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty. It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since the founding of our great Nation. Because it is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.

Sec. 2. Plan of Action. (a) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.
(b) In developing such proposed plan of action, the Attorney General shall review, at a minimum:
(i) All Presidential and agencies’ actions from January 2021 through January 2025 that purport to promote safety but may have impinged on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens;
(ii) Rules promulgated by the Department of Justice, including by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, from January 2021 through January 2025 pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iii) Agencies’ plans, orders, and actions regarding the so-called “enhanced regulatory enforcement policy” pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iv) Reports and related documents issued by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention;
(v) The positions taken by the United States in any and all ongoing and potential litigation that affects or could affect the ability of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights;
(vi) Agencies’ classifications of firearms and ammunition; and
(vii) The processing of applications to make, manufacture, transfer, or export firearms.

Sec. 3. Implementation. Upon submission of the proposed plan of action described in section 2 of this order, the Attorney General shall work with the Domestic Policy Advisor to finalize the plan of action and establish a process for implementation.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
 
I believe that if an individual is not on the path to transcending his society and seeing in what way it furthers or impedes the development of human potential, he cannot enter into intimate contact with his humanity.
