Lolz, you're on page 24! Day 5.

   Thanks you are very correct !

Decrying the election of Democrats such as Clinton, Obama and Biden while praising that of Trump is clearly political.

I am deleting all such comments in the last several pages, but if this thread continues to generate that sort of work for the moderators, it will be locked.

The whole topic is political.

Well, here we are. There's been a lot of discussion. Godwin's Law came and went. Religion and politics kept peeking in around the corners. I bet nobody has changed their mind regarding firearms. I suspect, just as a possibility mind you, that there may have been some heightened emotions along the way. That's why I don't enter these arguments. We end up in the same place, just all worked up. I'm lazy. I'd rather skip the argument, not get all worked up, and just carry on. Still, this thread came a long way without a lock. That's something. Good job folks.

Sorry about that @david

OD is a cesspool of political correctness, run by an*l retentives.  Try one of the other political clubs instead.

Open Discussion = Open Flamethrowers.  No more, no less.  That's not much different than what the current forums are (slowly) becoming.

you are quite subjective in what you consider to be political. 

Whoa!!! Finally caught up.  I spent a couple days in the Windy City, and it was a blast.  I was able to make my chess moves and only one ran out of time.   (who cares right? Hahaa I get it)

k.  Gonna go back and re read.   

ps.  I understand some posters comments about where this topic should be rather than off topic.   I know tho OD is for only those who are members.
  I really appreciate how this is going, how as adults, there can be fumes busting and what has been seen is those fumes get capped.  Thank you for that.  
Thanks David for not busting a cap in this thread with a locked bullet.

 (see what I did there? 😉)

Please carry on mi amigos y amigas!!  

The "Windy City" was a blast?  Good pun.

It is not what the moderators consider to be political it is chess.com-> https://www.chess.com/legal/community

Interesting choice, why?

common sense gun laws carry one

someone get shot before they shoot some innocent people

Remember folks guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.

Right back to politics. See ya!

@GannonSagray11 Those are excellent examples of jokes designed to provoke political comments. You're new to this thread, but you need to stop doing that. @Pat_Zurr You have done the same but you are not new to this thread: first and only warning for you specifically.

"The One That Got Away" - a short lamentation

  About twenty years ago I was looking for a rifle in .243 Winchester to fill a hole in my collection. There was a gun store on my way home from work that specialized in higher end long guns and collectibles. I fondled many a fine firearm in there. While browsing the store one day I came upon a sporterized Mauser with a Mannlicher stock of gorgeous, figured walnut. Of course it was .243 Win, and its balance was perfect. My usual practice when I found a rifle I liked was to ponder on it for a while hoping it would sell. They usually did and I'd be relieved I saved a bundle. So I didn't buy that .243 right away, because they wanted a bundle. It sold a couple weeks later. I still miss that rifle. And I never even owned it.

It resembled this rifle in the way a thoroughbred resembles a plow horse. It had slightly darker, much prettier wood and an older European style scope.
