    Before I left for this rotation, there were a couple of douches with bumpfire stocks at my local range, talking about them like they were the Second Coming of the greatest gadget invention for the AR . I shook my head as I packed my gear and move 8 stalls down.

    I agree there have a been a lot more new members lately, but they bring the same questions that I brought when I was new here, along with most of the rest of our membership. "Ive been lurking, first post, did a search, read all the stickies, what do you think of my psa/dpms abortion, is it good?" Those types of threads are easy to handle on their own, but now weve got new members validating other new members and then it creates some sort of idiot standoff.

    Hell, we've got one member who joined a week or 2 ago that has nearly 200 posts already, mostly nonsense.

    M4C mods doa good job of cleaning up the mess, but it just feels like an idiot assault is in full blitzkrieg right now, moreso than last year.

    ^ ****ing exactly.

    There were three idiots at the range yesterday with one of those bumpfire stocks, too. One of them had a giggle that sounded like Roscoe P. Coltrane when they would launch an entire magazine of Wolf all over the hillside, (from the hip, of course).

    We finally pulled out the M14 and rocked a few magazines into the steels. Their faces drooped comically and they packed their shit and left.

    I'm half considering putting that image on FB...just because I can...

    But seriously, how many times can we seriously rehash the G19 vs 1911 conversation?

    Exactly as many times as someone with an internet connection buys a Kimber.

    The same ones who complain their Crapmaster can't make it through a magazine without a failure of one sort or another? The ones who cry when they made a purchase without researching first?

    Careful, me, don't want to raise your blood pressure too much, do you? No. No, you're right me. I don't.

    Heh heh. But you know, I remember not that many years ago when I thought a 3" 1911 was the carry gun par excellence and sagely opined to other shoppers that a 1st gen S&W M&P15 - chisel staking and all - was just as good as the Colt they were looking at...didn't understand why they looked at me like I was a dumbass...

    It took a little tough love from long-term forum residents for me to start thinking with my brain and I'm a better shooter because of it. I hope that tradition continues, no matter the number of former me's that might swamp the forum at any given time.
