    I've done it before, I used powerlifting as the justification for letting myself go. Also no point competing in 120+ unless you're REALLY big.

    More than 30,000 Americans die from gun violence every year...

    I'm not bothered - it's rare to see someone who isn't totally anti or pro gun, it's a fairly polarizing topic. People often mention the facilitation aspect - I would counter that with the 'means to an end' aspect that an alternative tool may be used, whether that be a knife, bat etc. Look at...

    'Smart guns' are a pipe dream. The US has severe societal issues; I think they're on the way down, like Russia in the later half of the 20th century. Wayne LaPierre of the NRA has it right - more enforcement of the existing background check system would be a good start, personally I think that...

    Yeah it may be worth it if you go to a lot of comps, I find the PA experience a bit paltry compared to other sporting organizations that I'm a member of. @rino; I should add I plan on losing 20 odd kg again this year, so not really conducive to competitive powerlifting either! If you're...

    @Fadi; yes it all seems to be completely stable etc, as I'm sure that many in Weimar Germany could never have forseen Hitler's rise, or those in the former USSR with the Bolsheviks, Cambodians etc etc. I don't think its for us Australians to tell the Americans that their constitution is no...

    Don't see the point in paying $165 to get nothing apart from a membership card and the ability to compete in our local comp. Maybe if I ever get a total that is competitive on a national level I'll go back to competing. Training stays the same though, and I'll stay a member of our local club. I...

    He also said that the existing background check system should be enforced more strongly and with more accurate data. Despite some over there opining that the NRA are sellouts for backing gun control in the context of people, it seems that most of their member base do support trying to keep...

    There was a drop in firearm suicides after the NFA that wasn't replaced by other methods, though some would attribute that to coming out of the economic doldrums of the early 90s.

    Fadi: also to defend from government tyranny. Might sound ridiculous to us in 2016, but it has happened many times in the past. As for the well organised militia, in the context of the constitution it means owning the firearms required to resist tyranny via the government (aka the Army), not...

    Yeah there are a lot of open carry fuckwits who seem to like testing cops by walking down the street with an AR strapped on their back. They don't help the cause. Same as those who advocate for 0 regulation at all because SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Personally I wouldn't want any would be crooks...

    I wish we had an Aussie NRA tbh, none of the shooting organizations here are anywhere near as forthright as they are with sticking up for the rights of shooters. In regards to the whole no semi auto thing, it pisses me off that I can own a 1911 .45 pistol for Service Pistol comps, but I can't...

    When I see stuff like this, it reinforces that joining the NRA was the right thing to do. I guess as Vonfram has already mentioned several time, the US is so socially different to here it's not funny. I've seen two different studies that came to the conclusion that our gun grabbing in 96 did...

    It would be good if we were allowed to compete inter-fed though, since the ADFPF seems to have most of their comps over in the Riverland, and we struggle to get competitors to ours.

    Strength wars puts 66kg calisthenics athlete matthias against 75kg powerbuilder koray

    I've never understood how this became to become the meme of powerlifting, I haven't seen many powerlifters who are fatter, have longer beards or shaved heads than myself.

    I asked about this too, and was told that since they don't have WADA drug testing, it does not count as 'substantially similar'.

    Because it was originally about Wilkes bashing CAPO for having criminal associations on radio.

    You already know why coaches and business owners align with PA - it's been discussed in excruciating detail in other threads about differences in feds. It's also why as much as I think PA is its own worst enemy with regards to encouraging people to take up powerlifting as a sport, or even...
