Not sure what the union representation board NLRB is going to do when demands for legislative action on fast food worker pay (you SHOULD be able to work fast food and pay for a nice house and live the American dream after all!) encourage companies to invest in robots. Maybe the NLRB will take some more decisive action and ban robots.
The NSA's DNS record attack tool that is of course, only used with a warrant on bad people.
The 25 conical-shaped, .45 caliber bullets, made by Knight out of lead and copper, sat on the judge’s desk. They do not have primer or gunpowder so cannot be propelled.
The affidavit (PDF) against Leeland Yee shows that he really was only trying to drive up prices for the guns he was selling....I think. However, let's quote the good Senator on automatic rifles from the affidavit:
"People need whatever they want to get. Do I care? No, I don't care. People need certain things."
You know, it seems hackneyed but damnit, Orwell was a prophet and that's sad:
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
Anonymous FBI agents are calling into radio talk shows and saying that the recent Leeland Yee revelations are the tip of the iceberg. I heard a rumor that it's more Democrat politicians.
Ostensibly a real organization, takeonthecode.com is well laid out but kind of missing a message other than we need to do something about gun safety. OK, well and good. You could post the NRA Safety Rules and call it done, maybe with a caveat of "lock your shit up when it's not on you." There you go, that seems to be the gist of this site's message.
The FAQ leads me to think that this organization wants to address "gun safety" through more laws. However, here's their "code" (said with suitable reverence). You have to wonder what the heck is the point in pushing this "code." To say that these practices need another party outside of your local firearms trainer/the NRA/etc to be advocated is bit silly and also redundant. It also makes you wonder what a "ManhattanMommy" (Rebecca Bond, founder of this organization) actually knows about firearms and firearm safety. I engaged the ARF hive mind and lo and behold, Mrs Bond is a DNC donor on top of giving to Gabby Gifford's PAC!
Any gun owner that is quasi interested in gun rights knows that a "gun safety" organization based out of New York City should be automatically red flagged. Then you throw in her article at the Huffington Post and then this bit about the oh-so important story of her schooling decision for her child and something tells me that this marketing professional isn't a Bloomberg drone like the other "Mommys hate guns and mommys know better than you even if it's Bloomberg telling them what to say" organizations but rather a house wife looking to make some bank working for a "cause." In case you didn't know, non profits are a nice way to make some money "helping" people. Marketers gotta market.
I will update this post if I learn more about this organization that's sure to disappear in the next year or so. Watch the interview she did with Piers Morgan (!) here for some true vapidity and oft repeated platitudes.
Here's the earth shattering "code" that won't be seen anywhere.
I'll tell you what, Rebecca Bond. You're not going to do anything about gun violence. You don't seem to be the slightest bit interested in getting down to the true socio economic causes of violence (like all of the anti gun movement) and your organization is a waste of time but hey, it should be a sweet tax writeoff. I mean, it beats wondering why places with strict gun control have high murder rates and realizing that outside of a few rotten inner cities, the US is actually safer than the UK. If you want the facts, go to Billy Johnson (video below). You know, try doing....research. Or just prattle on about you're doing good work and tell me not to be irresponsible with my guns. Real compelling message, that. Currently, she's arguing with me on Twitter.
Sometimes I browse the local section of opencarry.org. Mainly when I'm feeling upbeat about the future and need brought back down to depressing reality or if I just need to see if there's a gathering of shitty SERPA holsters and Springfield XDs going on so that I can avoid it. The below post really jumped out at me. Not only does the guy basically admit he can't shoot but.....he open carried on his Segway to the grocery and then rode the Segway through the grocery store while open carrying.
And they say open carrying by itself is attention seeking.... (I don't think ALL open carriers are attention seekers but there's definitely a problem in the "movement").
Not only that, he managed to find a reason to carry his "open carry M14" (we can safely assume he thinks his M1A is an M14) into his optometrist's office because he "needed" new glasses for competition or something like that (you don't see a lot or...any open carry guys at competitions from my personal experience). I'm sure he's just as proficient with his "M14" as he is with his Sig .45.
Anyway, it's below and unedited. Try not to hurt yourself with the face palm.......... Thanks, guy. Thanks for making gun owners look like attention seeking loons with your "education" of the people. This will REALLY help our gun rights. I mean, it beats being proficient, training, going to matches. and not acting like an attention seeking teenage girl, right?
I have taken in the last six months to carrying a SIG .45. I have a long way to go to be good with it, but I'm within safety parameters.
This evening, I rode my Segway from the house, through the neighborhood, to the Greenbriar shopping center, and rode the Segway into the Giant store to pick up some groceries.
Clearly I was out of the ordinary with the Segway . . . operated as politely as it possibly could, always deferring to anyone going in my direction.
By the way, there is a most gun-friendly optometrist next to Giant -- Nicholas Marotta and his wife at Greenbriar Optical. I once took my OC M-14 in there, because I needed a special lens to allow me to focus on the front sight. In the exam room, I held the rifle off-hand, sighting, while he held the letter card at the muzzle, and patiently did the "Is C better, or now D . . . C . . . or D?" bracketing of the correction. Now THAT is service.
So, there's this online humor and cartoon web site about the Marine Corps called Terminal Lance. The author was a "Terminal Lance" or Lance Corporal (E3) that never picked up Corporal (E4).
Anyway, especially for we grunts; Terminal Lance is funny but sometimes hits pretty close to home on all of the utter bullshit Marines put up with. Dependapotamuses, haircuts (Marines have to have the sides of their heads shaved every week), and just silly, asinine games played by the leadership are what author of the cartoon hits upon.
Anyway, young Marines new to the Corps sometimes get a little silly with the Marine Corps oriented tattoos and Terminal Lance decided to have a little fun with that.
And....fast forward to the new Schwarzenegger flick called Sabotage. In it, there's a dude sporting the tatt. You can't make shit like this up. Anyway, if you dug this story and Terminal Lance's work, buy his book, and help put a combat vet through college!
I went to the class description of the class he wanted to go to. The man Gabe himself was the instructor, and there was, I kid you not, a picture of a dude running pointing a Steyr AUG one handed. No shit. I would actually pay to do that, but I would want explosions behind me and doves flying everywhere. And it would have to be in slow motion.
One Gunshop Commando to rule them all, One Gunshop Commando to find them, One Gunshop Commando to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Fauquier County where the gun shop invaders lie.
I should not make fun of a good local gunshop but.....sometimes folks do this to themselves.
In the gun shop in Vint Hill Virginia, the One Gunshop Commando works.
Here is his apparent EDC gear as witnessed multiple times by myself and friends:
AIWB (Appendix, Inside Waist Band) Bowie knife of some sort. Carried without a cover garment.
Cuffs.
Baton
Glock (in a SERPA, of course). OWB (Outside Waist Band) no cover garment.
Two extra Glock mags
Badge, displayed openly. For a local security company (he calls it a "contractor" but they don't contract overseas. Not actual law enforcement.
Extra pocket knife clipped inside pocket
And.....the piece de resistance: a wind meter worn hanging around his neck. You know; for those long distance shots with his Glock when he has to dial some windage. Duh.
In a manifestation of my Marine-ness, I asked him "why do you wear all of that shit?" He blustered back with "ever seen a gun store invasion?" Yeah..... Words kind of failed me at that point.
I considered taking a picture and actually naming the store outright but I'm not that mean. Hopefully the guy will get over wearing his entire ensemble and just do his job sans 20 pounds of crap he doesn't need. If you want to see the spectacle, it's not hard to figure out where this place is. Try not to point and laugh openly.
I'm not really hating on Haley but damn dude....... Who saw this coming? I mean; shaving and skin care products " "Designed for military, law enforcement, adventurers or businessman who spend time in the outdoors or on the road." No word on Costa's rumored beard trimmer release date........
Nope, not a joke. Have your speakers down (or up) for a video showing a .22 attached to a SCAR.....
A thought. The front page shows a guy in Army BDUs. I've seen countless "tactical" companies hawking their wares with some guy in cammies (usually Army, the Marines are a bit more strict about this sort of thing) and/or the fabled Cooder County SWAT Team. Respect your own uniform, gents; and don't let people give you a few rounds or free goodies in order to use the uniform to sell their stuff.
