if a clip is used to load a magazine wouldn't both be technically correct?
What the flying fuck through a rolling donut are you talking about?

1903 Enfield.Pretty sure your rifle didn't have a clip.
Ignorant peasant....or is that peon... or piss-ant?It's called a magazine you stupid fuck, get it right.

Damn, you guys are tied a bit tight. Have you not realized that P&N is the perfect playground for smart-assery?
Assume Bazinga.
So does the stripper clip running out prevent the rifle from firing?
when it's the last one you have.
sure!
That's the one I was thinking about. Kicks like a shorted whore.
Any link to that Jihadi John?

I haven't thus far shared my opinion that the US should go into Iraq and Syria with ground troops because this board has a very isolationist bent and I didn't feel like arguing the point. The fact is, these people will only grow more powerful until they are finally taken down, and they will never, ever be taken down until western powers and/or perhaps Russia undertakes a major ground campaign to remove them. I'd prefer that Russia did it, at least in Syria, but eventually we are going to do it if Russia does not.
What is happening in Paris is going to happen in the US eventually, and my bet is sooner rather than later. If it is a major attack with dozens to hundreds dead, at that point we won't have a choice. We may as well do it before it happens.
Those who think we'll be safe if we do the opposite and stop bombing them are naive. If we stop, they acquire more territory and only get stronger. We know the Arab armies are too weak and incompetent to take them on. It can't possibly do anything but get worse without western intervention, and the violence certainly will not be confined to the middle east.
They are already no ordinary terrorist group. They have billions in oil revenue and over 10 million people under their control. This isn't a state sponsored terrorist group - this is a terrorist state, and they will not stop killing people, both Muslim and western, until they are destroyed. These people are from another century. They want to murder everyone non-Muslin and every Muslim not practicing their version of it. These people do not belong in this world and need to be removed from it.
To be clear, I don't want to nation build in either country. I want us to go in with an overwhelming force and sweep through their territories on a search and destroy mission, then go home. This is what we should have done in Afghanistan in 2001 but which Bush was too incompetent to understand, and it's what we should do right now in Iraq.
And the fact that Bush's disastrous Iraq war had a hand in creating a fertile environment for Isis only strengthens the argument here. If we are partially responsible for the death and misery these people have wrought, then it is our moral obligation to clean it up.
You realize after the Russian invasion of Chechnya even worse attacks than this happened in Russia, right? (Or at least equally bad)
Apparently there are gunmen still at large. I assumed that the two that were killed (which is what most reports I read kept referring to) weren't the only ones involved in this.
Yet we have massive death and murder here in the united states and wont put an ounce of resource into trying to deal with it. Nope when it isn't terrorists its just an acceptable byproduct of our society. When it is terrorists its cool to spend trillions. Our "Moral obligations" have us occupying darn near every country on the planet. I think the world has had enough of US "Moral Obligations".
"Massive death"? Where?
We have had 450 murders or so in Chicago alone this year.
Who's getting killed there? Productive members of society out for a night at the theater, like those in Paris?
So you should point the finger at the chicago politicians, i say. The local guys don't give a rats ass, why should anyone else?We have had 450 murders or so in Chicago alone this year.
