[quote=qwerty007]Well, this sort of thing happens. The oddest things is when the reporter says we’ll be back when something really “substandard” is happening. I don’t think he meant to say “substantial”, because he would have corrected himself. He must have been referring to the declining situation in the current crisis. Unfortunate choice of words. Very amusing.[/quote]

Again, I watched the video and didn’t rely on someone else’s interpetation or bad transcript. It wasn’t that hard to make out: he actually said “substantive”.

From a news perspective, the fact that Ron Paul was (correctly) ranting yet again about the Fed isn’t exactly the scoop of the century, so I don’t blame the CNBC guy for the “substantive” comment.

Moral of the story: go to the source and make up your own mind.

[quote=CA renter]Wow. Did they really say that in that context? If that doesn’t speak volumes…[/quote]

After watching the video, I got the impression that they were expecting much shorter statements and had limited time for the story.

I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but there’s nothing to this one.

or get the double barrel 12 from big 5, about 250 advertised. then get a hacksaw. a full size rifle in the house doesn’t seem terribly maneuverable.

I was going to suggest the Big 5 special also (Mossberg 500 with 18.5″ and 26″ barrels). It’s the best deal going! I got mine there over 15 years ago when they were under two hundred bucks. They are ugly and kind of crude compared to some slick-shooting pumps I’ve used, but they work great.

No need for for the hacksaw, either. Just get a $20.00 aftermarket pistol grip and bolt it on. I shoot mine single-handed sometimes, it’s a hoot.

As far as handguns, leave the semi-autos to professionals who maintain and fire their weapons on a regular basis. I’ll take a Ruger GP100 6″ in stainless, thankyouverymuch. If a .357 Magnum can’t get the job done, nothing will. You can also shoot .38 Special at the range to save money and your wrist.
