"War" has been around for a very long time ... long before guns.
It is part of human nature to fight for what you believe is yours.... guns just make it easier to kill someone with a smaller chance of you getting hurt.

The United States is technically not in a 'war' with anyone. The "war" on terror is a made up phrase like the 'war' on drugs. Just because it isn't called a war does not make it less of a war.

False. The gold fringe u see around the US flag in any type of Courthouse or government establishment u walk into says otherwise. The gold fringe was from Roosevelts time and defines the fact that we are in fact in a perpetual state of war and have been since WWII. Why do you think they can print bonds willy nilly? Wow government classes are failing in the United states.

* Available evidence seems to suggest that the claims made about fringe on the United States flag are intended to promote the political ends -- including elimination of income taxes, re-establishment of the gold standard, and denial of legal rights to women, non-Christians, and non-Caucasians -- of those who spread those rumors.
* From the standpoint of history and law, fringe on a flag has no symbolism. While each individual is free to interpret the meaning of fringe, it has no inherent or established universal symbolism.
* While fringe is frequently used on military flags and in formal settings (parades, public meetings, offices of government officials, courts, inaugurations, dedication ceremonies, etc.), it is also widely used in the private sector. Examples of private usage of fringe on flags in the United States extend back for 200 years.
* Fringe is and always has been a purely decorative addition -- an optional enhancement of the beauty of a flag, added on a discretionary basis when the flag is purchased. In the private sector and for non-military government uses, use of fringe is like the choice of polyester or nylon over cotton or wool for the flag itself -- simply a matter of enhancing the appearance of the flag.
* Title Four of the "United States Code" which defines the Stars and Stripes neither prescribes nor proscribes the use of cords and tassels, heading, sleeve, fringe, and other accessories to the flag. It is universally recognized that the symbolic aspect of the flag is inherent in its colors and symbols, not in the physical characteristics of the flag or the things (like fringe) added to it when it is displayed.
* Admiralty courts deal only with maritime contracts, collisions at sea, and similar naval questions, not with normal civil and criminal cases. There is no symbol in the United States which indicates an admiralty court. While international treaties require that ships display the national flag, maritime flags never have fringe.
* Martial law is not mentioned in the United States constitution nor has martial law ever been proclaimed in the United States. The use or non-use of fringe on a United States flag in a court has nothing to do with the jurisdiction of the court or with martial law.

is the GSG-5 like a MP5 upgrade? it looks similar


The GSG-5 is kinda a spin off of the MP5 but instead it fires .22 caliber long rifle rounds, they are smaller.

Oh for the love of god, don't start another war over the flag now too..


As to try and get the back on topic...

The clarity is great in both of the picture and the focus is nice too, almost the entire picture is in focus except a few parts like the knife's handle. Also the stock is a bit out of the picture.

"Pursuant to 4 U.S.C. chapter 1, §§1, 2, & 3; Executive Order 10834, August 21, 1959; 24 F.R.6865; a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE border on three sides. The President of the United States designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the military."

Lol. I just gotta prove my point. Why would we have military presence in every country of the world? (except N. Korea but I'm sure there are spies ;) and dont say for security lawl. Many countries have far greater security and aren't doing the same. But back on topic. Yes very pretty guns.

That is for Flag Martial Law.
The fringed flag can only be used indoors and for military events and areas.

Title 4 U.S.C. 3 provides that anything put on the title 4 U.S.C., 1, 2 American Flag such as gold fringe MUTILATES the Flag and carries a one-year prison term. This is confirmed by the authority of title 36 U.S.C. 176 (g). The gold fringe is a fourth color and represents "color of law" jurisdiction and when placed on the title 4 U.S.C. 1, 2 Flag, mutilates the Flag and suspends the Constitution and establishes "color of law" jurisdiction (Refer to title 18 U.S.C. 242)

All Eisenhower said was :
"A military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a yellow fringe border on three sides."

This was 50 years ago and there is no one to uphold this law. The fringes are now used for appearance and can be used to note military personnel (badges, etc)


Just like people who live in Wyoming will not get fined if a women stands within five feet of a bar while drinking. (yep...still a law)
