It's a sweet gesture. Sounds like you have a keeper.

As an old retired Jarhead I can attest to this. Always on guard and always suspicious.

Funny but my wife says she doesn't like diamonds either. She prefers colored stones like emeralds and rubies.

Exactly. What about camo pattern guns that are used in hunting?

Except for a few industrial uses, diamonds have little intrinsic value. People seek after them because they are shiny objects and are considered "rate"... although part of that perceived rarity is due to a tightly manipulated market. I'd rather hold gold and silver.

The casings never come in contact with the suppressor, they are ejected out of a side port... only the bullet passes through the suppressor. So engraving a casing would not be a problem, unless the extractor / ejector failed to work. I believe the gun failed to cycle because the shooter had a (probably homemade and too heavy) suppressor on it, which can be seen in the video, and that made the pistol not cycle properly. Anything that impedes an auto pistol's cycling, such as a "limp wrist" shooter or something heavy added to the gun, can cause it to not function as designed.

Is there any truth to the rumor that the shooter was caught and arrested?

The people saying such things are statists, whose only solution for every perceived problem is more state control and bigger government. Ignore them, they are stuck in the politics of the last century.

This is why tIRS has to collect taxes with threats of prison and the use of guns.

Yes, a semi-auto relies on the pistol's recoil to cycle it properly. A "limp wrist" can cause it to not cycle, as can anything that interferes with the way it is designed to operate. Most manufactured suppressors take that into account and are made of lightweight materials for that reason. So I am making an educated guess that the gunman was using a homemade suppressor made of steel pipe or some other heavy material, PLUS it looks rather long, adding to the weight. It looks like its easily longer than the pistol itself, so added weight and throwing it off balance.

Also, watching a second and third time, it seems to be a "short stroke" slide, so I'm wondering if it was a small caliber like a .22, possibly a .32 or 9mm, as it did not take much power to hand-cycle the thing. Have to consider the presence of mind the shooter used to do that, but he'd probably rehearsed it several times before the actual shooting, and knew to expect that necessity.

A couple of observations. The gunman had to repeatedly manually cycle his automatic, probably because the suppressor was heavy and homemade, which does not allow the pistol to cycle normally. Second, he was pretty clinical about it, placing his shots carefully and not wildly doing the gangsta "spray 'n pray" technique. Third, apparently the gunman knew the mark would be at that spot and was laying in ambush for him. Finally, the video ends as the gunman steps off the sidewalk toward the street, so I wonder if a getaway car was waiting for him?

My first point (about the suppressor being too heavy), that will certainly cause an semi-auto pistol to not cycle properly. If it's too big or made out of steel outer casing, that can happen.

Has the jury on this trial reached a verdict yet?

Hmmm.... yes, plausible.

Every time I see one of these psy-op videos it makes me wonder, WHY are they advertising their presence, or even their very existence?

It seems to me that a true psy-op outfit that "works in the shadows" would strive to deny its very existence, not plaster it all over the internet.

It means you ain't nothin' but a hound dog.

Thanks for posting this, it's going to be a lot to dig into. Saving it for future reference.

Thank you, you are too kind.

I had neurogenic bladder after cancer treatments 11 years ago. All I can say is that it got better in time, but I had to make a conscious effort to always know where the bathroom was at any given location I went to. At first there were "surprise" episodes of urgency as my bladder was not sending messages to the brain in time, just a sudden need to go and so I WENT!! Over time such episodes stopped, and I hope your son has the same experience. It's frustrating, but for me time was the healer.

Yup, apparently. I live in a semi-rural area, so maybe I'll pick up some road kill this morning to serve to them.

Yeah, I didn't offer that link as "proof" of anything. I too have kept an eye on that site and have seen the numerous countdowns and ominous-sounding predictions, and then nada.... nothing. I don't know what their game is, but I keep watching for entertainment, as long as it doesn't cost me anything.

I stopped reading after this: "A world war in 2015 killed nearly three billion people. "

I got so used to carrying my Browning Hi-Power 9mm that once I almost went through airport security getting to a plane...realized it at the last minute, did a 180, went back to my car (it was a small regional airport, so it wasn't that much of an inconvenience), placed the pistol under the driver's seat, and then returned to the airport. Close call!
