A rarity
Anti-gun researcher does some straight shooting. There are some interesting numbers there.
Beretta 1301 Tactical Revisited. This has my interest because I’ve been thinking about getting one. Everyone seems to be out of stock.
There’s a few different ways to read this, I suppose. First is that there are specific democrats and republicans running. Next, I wonder if the the failure of the GOP to implement their promises has turned people away. That may be the case.
That’s what the GOP is arguing in a case brought by a man suing them for fraud because they’re not doing what they promised to do.
People who know nothing about how guns work shouldn’t write op-eds about things they don’t understand.
Well-played, NRA:
So, Playboy has their first transgendered playmate. Who exactly are they trying to appease? I mean I clicked on through to some of the photos*. And I don’t find this person attractive. And I imagine other straight males feel the same. So, why would Playboy, who markets to straight men, do that? Virtue signaling.
I don’t care if someone is transgendered. It affects me in no way whatsoever. This just seems counter-intuitive to me considering their market.
* Note also the photos shown are oddly posed, I guess to hide the junk. Hands are usually hidden and when shown look like man hands. And that’s definitely a man butt.
About Disney’s security. I’m fairly certain that I could have carried there easily. I noticed that when folks went to the line where they checked bags, those folks didn’t go through the metal detectors.
So, some one has started a group that trains gays how to use a firearm. Because of violence from the “far right”. Most of the political violence seen in the news wasn’t exactly coming from the “far right”.
80% of Americans don’t own any guns? I guess it’s possible but I consider it unlikely. Unless the sample came almost exclusively from anti-gun cities and states.
So, I mentioned my SpyderCo Delica’s clip fell off after I bumped into a door. Well, the other one did it too:
I ordered a titanium replacement for the other one. I’m happy with it so far but it took over a month for it to be delivered.
Mentioned a bit back that The Trace at least seemed to be making an effort to learn the proper lingo for their anti-gun agitprop. Well, here’s an article on that:
The most common mistakes concern how firearms function. Journalists confuse magazines, essentially a spring-loaded box that pushes ammunition up into a guns chamber, with clips, small metal parts that hold rounds together in place without any moving parts. They misunderstand the effectiveness of silencers, which make gunfire less loud, but not at all quiet.
In the aftermath of Las Vegas, some outlets inaccurately characterized automatic firearms as banned under federal law, even though tens of thousands are in private hands. (Fully automatic weapons manufactured before 1986 can be purchased legally, though obtaining one is a difficult and expensive process.)
In our newsroom, we may describe AR-15s as semiautomatic rifles, or sometimes assault-style weapons, but never as assault riflesa term that typically refers to weapons with variable modes of fire, including fully automatic.
Calling them assault-style is still wrong. That’s why your team invented the term “assault weapon”.
The Drawbacks of a Subcompact Single-Stack 9mm
If you can carry a full sized gun, you probably should. But some times you can’t.
Was never a yuge fan of Trump but this seems like a big deal:
The government has added an average of 13,000 new restrictions annually for the past 20 years. Under Trump, the number of new regulations is near zero.
Les Jones, who is no longer blogging, once said something to the effect of A Mag Light is a gateway drug to a serious flashlight addiction. Well, I think this guy has reached peak addiction.
I have passwords for Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, WordPress, several applications, banks, and, hell, a ton more. And all of the policies for passwords are stupid. You can’t re-use one; some number of digits, alphabet both upper and lower case, and symbols; some sort of length; changing it some number of times per season; and on and on and on. I agree with these best practice changes for passwords.
I will note that Amazon seems to understand this. I have been using amazon since there was an Amazon. My password has never had to be changed and it isn’t overly burdened by dumb rules that make it look like this: c5(BnKw8TxqLnh8′
That’s from a random password generator I found online.
Read Joe’s encounter with a security guard on a cruise ship for carrying a knife that the cruise-line said he could carry. This imbecile, while in the employ of a cruise-line, decided that he would enforce the knife laws of Where Great Britain Used To Be.
A couple of weeks back, I was at Disney, for what is hopefully the last time I’ll ever go there. In trips past, I always carried a gun there. But I was told this time that was a no go. But I did carry a knife. In fact, I carried the Razor Lite I mentioned before because it’s cheap and if it ran afoul of their policies, I could replace it cheap. Every day we went to a park. And most days to two parks.
For the first four days, I’d go up to the security line for the metal detector, empty my pockets into a tray (knife included) and would go right on in just fine. On the fifth day, at Epcot the nice security lady took an interest in the knife. She then pulled out some sort of card that, apparently, was designed to see if the knife was some number of inches or less. I told her I’d been in and out of parks all week and she was the first person to even take an interest in the knife. She was puzzled by this. This knife is borderline whatever the size limit is. And she let me in with it. Then, the last day there we went to Magic Kingdom. And this time a male security guy took an interest in it. Same thing. Only he told me to leave it in my bag.
They were both very professional and polite. In fact, I found the security there to be nothing but pleasant and courteous. And they seem to be effective and are very efficient. Those guys should run the TSA.
How many tax stamps would that be?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
