TFB is a communist blog. It's a place for blue-dog gun owners/corrupt-cops... ...to enjoy the freedoms they are denying to the next generation of slaves. Also, I'd be interested in an HK243, but I don't know about this. It's a left-wing gun website that pretends to be neutral. .... a place for leftist's who were raised by pro-gun parents and still have some residual gun culture left in them. |

They're in my news reader so I see 99% of what they publish. I'm not going through hundreds of articles, but it comes out when staff comments in the comments. Also political discussion only gets shut down when it's politics they don't like. Plenty of Rus propaganda posters in comments. Recent change in contributors especially from overseas. A couple of their writers are members here. They don't seem like bad guys. It went especially downhill when they got bought out. All this doesn't even touch their total lack of grammar/spelling editing, going to bat for/supporting the wrong parties in industry drama/lawsuits, and failure to post corrections in articles when stuff is factually incorrect. In response to the spelling errors they always have some excuse how they can't catch everything, meanwhile I follow many other large outfits with no such problems. That said they do have a good volume of news with more information, information, and civilian products than say Soldier Systems Daily. |

Think I'll wait for the 433...knowing HK, it'll come to market fully neutered in 12 years.

If this does come to USA, I'm actually curious if it has anything to do with the German military finally moving on from the G36.
From what I've read, the German government holds the rights to the rifle that is produced for their military. With the HK433 starting to be pushed into their ranks, this would free up the G36 for production to civilian hands. |

To 'French' looking, I'm not sure the ammo would take it seriously.

We were talking about the blog that OP referenced It's a left-wing gun website that pretends to be neutral. .... a place for leftist's who were raised by pro-gun parents and still have some residual gun culture left in them. They're in my news reader so I see 99% of what they publish. I'm not going through hundreds of articles, but it comes out when staff comments in the comments. Also political discussion only gets shut down when it's politics they don't like. Plenty of Rus propaganda posters in comments. Recent change in contributors especially from overseas. A couple of their writers are members here. They don't seem like bad guys. It went especially downhill when they got bought out. All this doesn't even touch their total lack of grammar/spelling editing, going to bat for/supporting the wrong parties in industry drama/lawsuits, and failure to post corrections in articles when stuff is factually incorrect. In response to the spelling errors they always have some excuse how they can't catch everything, meanwhile I follow many other large outfits with no such problems. That said they do have a good volume of news with more information, information, and civilian products than say Soldier Systems Daily. That being said, the quality of their content has gone down in my opinion, and its a lot more clickbait bullshit. Even their slogan should send chills down your spine "Firearms not politics" Hmm, I wonder what the political views are of 90+% of gun owners? It's clearly a jab at us. I hate to break it to you, but the world does not revolve around arfcom. Perhaps they just don't want to wade into the political minefield that is 2nd amendment politics and piss people off. But hey, its much more fun to be a victim, I get it. The biggest weakness of the right, we always assume the best in people. Piss who off? Leftist's? TFB is an anti gunners dream, making the gun community go inactive politically.... .... And preventing young gun enthusiasts from becoming right wing. The net result is clear. You'd be stupid to think their hypocrisy is meaningless. They've always displayed a particular pattern, in addition to their recent changes. |
