I'm not sure it's even really a joke. Harmon had a bit of a breakdown after Trump was elected. He's really freaked out by all of the people that are comfortable with fascism.
The way she handled the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal) is a microcosm of everything wrong with her campaign.
Before the primary she was recorded calling it the "gold standard" of trade deals. Bernie Sanders came out against the deal. Hillary refused to take a position on it for months. Only after the race started to get close, she came out meekly against the deal.
This was a lose-lose-lose for her campaign.
How the fuck do you refuse to take a position on a major trade deal that you helped negotiate. There was a perception that she was entitled and this played right into it.
It was an issue many union people cared about (particularly in the rust belt); refusing to state a position was bound to piss them off.
With how she handled this there was no way people that cared would ever believe that she was actually against the deal.
Republicans were painting Hillary as untrustworthy. This was a blatant, cravenly political move that played right into that characterization. She was lying, everyone knew it, and everyone knew why.
In some states hunting is restricted to straight-walled cartridges like the 444 Marlin & 45-70. Because the bullets are larger and less aerodynamic, they have a much shorter effective range. This isn't that big of an issue because most whitetail deer are taken within 100 yards.
444 Marlin & 45-70 are perfectly capable of killing elk out to about 250 yards, and they are also somewhat popular in forested regions where long range shots are less common. Large bottleneck cartridges are generally recommended for elk hunting because they are effective out to 350-400 yards or even more.
In 8 of the 17 states that have elk hunting .223 is not legal, and most hunters would consider it unethical outside of survival situations.
To be legal for elk and bear hunting in every state a rifle would need to be at least .27 caliber, carrying at least 1700 ft-lb of energy at 100 yards. That basically matches the recommendations in the picture.
Also in straight-wall states (DE, IA, public land in IN, MD, Southern MI, OH) hunting is restricted to cartridges of at least .35 caliber. Of these only Michigan has elk hunting. That's through a lottery, though, and this restriction doesn't apply in the upper peninsula where I'm guessing most of their elk are taken. The straight-walled cartridges that are required in these states generally aren't recommended for elk hunting because they drop too much, lose energy too quickly to make a long range shot.
It's the same company as Opticsplanet. My order only took a couple days to ship, but it took a couple weeks to arrive because Smartpost. There aren't any membership fees; I think they make you sign up just to get your e-mail and to create the illusion of exclusivity.
DVOR.com (Optics Planet's daily deal site) has had some really good sales. In the last month they've had Aero receivers and handguards at below blem prices, SBA3 & SBA4 braces for $96, and the lowest prices I've seen on Faxon parts. Unlike OP there don't seem to be any coupons except for a single free shipping offer when you create an account (expires after 7 days) and a $10 bonus for referrals.
gun.deals is great if you know what you want, but it sucks at aggregating deals. You can search for almost any gun associated product by part number or UPC and find prices from dozens of gun stores.
Almost every deal is promoted, very few are anything special, and the same ones are reupped every couple days. The upvotes are cumulative (even if the price goes up), and you have to submit a reason for downvoting so the ratings are inflated.
