    Tardratieff wave of 2012

    Here it is, not even finished with the first quarter, and we're already experiencing our first uptick in the Tardratieff wave.

    The Tardratieff wave is described as sinusoidal-like cycles in the modern gun forum environment. At the bottom of the cycle, a forum is populated by knowledgeable, experienced veterans and there is a healthy influx of newbies who read stickies and follow the rules. At the top of the cycle, retards flood in from sites like Glocktalk, Arfcom, indianagundouches.com, militaryphotos.net, along with their cousins the airsofters and video gamers, and they threaten to overwhelm the existing site culture with their douchebag questions, attitudes, and general want to have their retarded choices confirmed instead of actually learning something.

    It appears we are once again on the uphill slope of the M4Carbine.net Tardratieff wave. Be aware, and plan accordingly.

    As the gun-grabber hysteria ramps up in anticipation of the fall election, I'm guessing things will get a lot worse before they get better as the mad dash to buy up every "tactical" this and "black rifle" that hits high gear.

    Very similar to the Kondratiev Wave.

    I'm gonna be pissed if some gun control laws are enacted.

    Not only because...well...thats shitty and that just means the US is headed down the tubes.


    ...but also for more selfish reasons. I just sold every non-NFA weapon I own to finance my emigration to Thailand.

    ...every...single...one...

    There and the Philippines. Easier to buy stuff that's considered "regulated" here, too. You want a ****ing UMP 45? Done. A real Swiss 55x series gun? Hell mother****ing yes!

    I too have noticed the influent of "new folks". Mods no doubt have also.

    Some of the dribble is hard to wade through.

    “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
