• Question from Anonymous Coward from Hawaii

  Good evening dad’s,I was going to ask if I could go to Savage’s house for dinner but mom (Angel) said no because he’s a pdf. So here’s my other question, lately a few cougars have been bothering me while I’m working. What do you think the best pistol and caliber is to use on them? ChatGPT said that if you shoot full power loads that it’ll work but there may be 18 years of fines involved. Anyways, they always seem to bother me in the middle of the day and when Im carrying heavy things. Some of the cougars are really big and some are skinny, idk if they think Im a snack or what… Anyways Im genuinely curious to know what to use on them.

  P.s. they also sent me noods so if you want to see them then txt me, xxx-xxx area code xxx

  Much love from your local FedEx guy

  The ATF has issued guidance that expands what constitutes permissible ‘repairs’ on NFA-registered suppressors without requiring a new tax stamp or Form 4.
