    wonder how many politicians I could buy with that kind of money. I could probably turn this state red

    Edit: wonder how many politicians I could frame with that kind of money. Obviously to be effective, both tactics would be needed

    If I won, I’d still work. Don’t think I could sit around and do nothing.

    That being said, I would buy some land up in Maine and build a nice house. Want a dedicated gun room, though.

    I probably would buy a few things on my wish list. Possible some that weren’t. Nothing too big.

    Would definitely take care of people around me, college funds and whatnot. But I’d do two things for the firearms community that I wanted...

    First, have Magguts do a +1 kit for the 6 and 7 round P938 magazines. Whatever it costs, just get it out so I can buy.

    Second, have Barsto do runs of S&W 10mm conversions. .40 and .357 SIG.

    With Mega Millions now at $1.6 billion, I will have to amend my previous statement. Not only would Detroit get a Robocop, California would get a Gundam and Alaska would get a Metal Gear REX.

    We're gonna Mech America Great Again, folks.

    Being in Fayetteville is its own punishment.

    How big does the jackpot have to get for you to commit to putting Unit 1 from Neon Genesis Evangelion somewhere?

    That would be Elon Musk's contribution, so you'd have to ask him.

    We were talking about this at work, asked what I would do with the winnings I said, "Buy a few congress critters and get rid of the Hughes Amendment to start with then see how much it would cost to start rolling back the 89 Import Ban, NFA, and GCA."

    I thought it out and and added up stuff that I wanted to buy, about $1,000,000 would take care of just about every material thing I could want unless I wanted to start a collection to rival that of Reed Knight. Add in setting up family and a few very close friends for life, I don't have too many thoughts of what to do beyond that. About the only other things I'd want to do is take up racing/track days so I could do a full IMSA seasons and race all of my domestic "bucket list" tracks (Sebring, Road Atlanta, Road America, Laguna Seca) and try to get to the 24H of Le Mans. That and a little start up capital for a small arms skunk works and a range facility to rival "The Ranch" in Texas in the area I'd like to live in (hint: it sure as hell ain't South FL).

    Tennessee or West Virginia. I'd buy as much contiguous land I possibly could. I want it to take 15-30 minutes just to get from my front door to the road my driveway breaks off of.
