A place for people who love guns
Not sure, but I think it’s Prince’s gun.
For when you need no flash. Can also be used as an anchor.
I has one.
Obama has no idea what he’s doing. I am shocked.
WAPO opinion piece says he shouldn’t run again. Heh. Lost the consent of the governed.
So say Stars and Stripes:
Calling it “the biggest overhaul of service rifles in nearly 50 years,” the Army soon will send Soldiers to Afghanistan with new M4A1 carbines.
Upgrades to the M4 include a more resilient barrel, ambidextrous controls and a full-automatic setting. Add better ammunition, and Soldiers will have a more lethal weapon to fight insurgents, according to Program Executive Office Soldier, which introduced the improvements.
The new carbines are expected to be integrated into the force starting next year.
A couple more pics from last weekend’s shooting excursion where we finished off the last bit of ammo for the Zel Custom:

On travel, the rental car place automatically upgraded my rental. They gave me a Lincoln MKS, which is apparently the luxury model of the Taurus SHO. But it’s not quite tuned like the SHO. It was a fun car to drive. Roomy, adequate power and decent handling. However, it could really use some traction control. If you thumped the gas, the tires would squeal even in automatic transmission mode. And that’s just wasted forward momentum.
Also, paddle shifters are kind of stupid. See, a lot of times when you’re shifting gears, you’re also steering. And the shifters maybe upside down when you’re trying to get it into third and this can be problematic. In a straight line, however, it was quite fun when the tires actually gripped.
But I had no idea they really would be:
General Motors Co [GM.UL] is in the final stage of talks to sell equity to long-time Chinese partner SAIC Motor Corp (600104.SS) in conjunction with its landmark initial public offering, two people familiar with the matter said.
The two government-funded automakers are currently finalizing how much of a stake SAIC would buy in the top U.S. automaker after discussions involving technology sharing and SAIC’s ambitions to move beyond the China market, the sources said.
I’ll never own a GM product again because of their bailout money but the Cadillac CTS-V looks pretty damn awesome. A four door sedan that can do zero to sixty in 3.9 seconds. Cool.
At an OC demonstration, the police make all attendees draw and unload their weapons. This, basically, takes the odds of there being a negligent discharge from roughly 0% to something greater than 0%. Stupid. Leave your guns in the holsters.
Sadly, he’s probably correct:
Conservatives who voted for congressional candidates because they pledged to repeal and replace the health-care-reform law are in for a rude awakening. Once those newly elected members of Congress have a little talk with the insurance industry’s lobbyists and executives, they will back off from that pledge. They will go through the motions, of course. They’ll hold hearings and take to the floor of both Houses to rail against the new law, and they’ll probably even introduce a bill to repeal it with much fanfare—but it will all be for show. That’s because health insurers, one of Republican candidates’ biggest and most reliable benefactors—the industry contributed three times as much money to Republicans as to Democrats since January—can’t survive without it.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
