  1. I’ve always read it as “as much as we can get this time before we start in asking for more next go around.“
  2. Hate to break it to ya, but that page of history has already been written. Our kids and grandkids will get to live it because we gave away everything in search of cheap crap to buy at cheaper prices and the illusion of always fleeting power. The locus of global power has shifted eastward already and we are doing nothing but continuing to impoverish ourselves with our foreign and economic policy and focusing on an irrelevant European continent. China, Russia, and the Islamic world doesn’t have to do anything to destroy us other than not get in our way.
  3. If we stopped all the foreign funding and aid, maybe we could have nice things for ourselves too. Like good roads and infrastructure. I know Europe’s real proud of that universal healthcare subsidized by American taxpayers in the form of NATO security guarantees.
  4. I’ve never considered a brand new car a good buy, but these days it’s just insanity. Especially trucks.
  5. Yeah, and the western leg of the 695, which is 3 times the distance of the leg that the FSK was on is about to get a whole lot more congested with trucks.
  6. It was the #1 intake port for automobiles in 2023. It intakes a lot more than just euro stuff.
  7. For the record here, the Francis Scott Key bridge is a part of the federal interstate highway system (I-695). It is also a primary conduit of truck traffic through the area and the designated route for hazmat cargo through Baltimore. this will have a significant impact on commerce and logistics, both by land and sea for quite a while until the bridge has been rebuilt.
  8. And a bunch of folks at the bottom of the bay.
  9. On that note, there’s not a bridge structure on earth that can withstand the force of impact from a 300M/97,000 ton vessel.
  10. It’s also gonna have a major impact on trucking (especially hazmat transportation) along the east coast. This is a big deal.
  11. This wasn’t about serving a warrant or preserving evidence. This was about sending a message.
  12. If anybody happens to be waiting on a stamp and filed it through e-forms, you should probably login and check. There were a lot of folks that weren’t notified that their stamps came through. Buddy of mine had a stamp approved in three weeks, but didn’t find out for three months.
  13. Took this in trade, don’t need. $400 OBO Jackson, TN S&W Shield .45 and a set of new in package night sights. No box. Flush and extended mag included. I was told that ~500 rds had been fired through it. Looks to be in excellent shape.
  14. Everytown is part of this action.
  15. This is a direct shot at the heart of the 2A and all gun manufacturers. If they win here it clears the way to declare all semiauto guns as machine guns because they are readily convertible. That would instantly render them all illegal. I’m confident it won’t work, but that’s the aim here.
  16. Well, I understand the reasoning on some of them, and number three is slightly different in that it doesn’t have any inconsistency so we will set that one aside. that said, by the Bruen standard 1, 2 and 4, all face an extremely uphill battle to survive court testing. I strongly suspect that it is going to force the hand of the government to make it easier to forcibly confine folks who cannot be trusted in public with a firearm. The the amusing thing to me is that the anti-gun crowd defending these laws has consistently reached back to laws from the founding era, prohibiting groups, such as black folks, and native Americans from purchasing or possessing firearms. Those laws, all have one thing in common, they were exclusions, based upon certain folks not being included in “the people”. Thus far, the court has not found any merit to that position. The folks in point number five are the only ones for whom that delineation could apply.
  17. That’s the subject of debate being decided in the litigation. The 4473 questionnaire has been having a real rough go of it since Bruen. Question after question has been struck down by district courts. It’s there because the ATF decided it wanted it there, but should it be there? Many folks, myself included, have long been of the opinion that the entire premise of the 4473 is illegitimate. Piece by piece, it appears that the courts are finding that to be the case in a post Bruen world.
  18. Our kids aren’t old enough to venture out any further than the neighborhood independently, but we do not utilize any sort of personal tracking software at all. Of course the kids (12&7) don’t have any personal electronic devices either.) Have no plans to as of now. I have a pretty immediate and intense visceral repulsion to the idea to be honest.
  19. Saw Dune part 2 with the wife last night. It’s a visually stunning film. If you don’t have connection to the original work, then I’m sure it will be quite enjoyable. If you are a long time fan of the books, written by Frank Herbert, then there is a good chance, that like me, this will fall significantly short of expectation. The more I think about particular changes the madder I get about it. Not a fan.
  20. I just listed to the entire oral arguments. I don’t think we win this one. The lawyer arguing for the bumpstocks got his ass kicked.
  21. Exactly. The fight has never been about the bumpstocks themselves. It was and is about the actions taken by the ATF (as instructed by the President at that time) in re-interpreting the law to fit a political end. It isn’t what they did, but how they did it. The only reason the mechanism by which the bumpstock functions matters is that it isn’t in line with the definitions in the text of the statute. It’s a much bigger deal than just these particular accessories. This case combined with Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, No. 22-451 will hopefully be death of the imperial executive through Chevron Deference. The words in the statute mean specific things and the executive agencies have to be told that they can’t just decide that they mean whatever they want just because they feel like it.
  22. This trailer gave me chills. I’m 1000% in for them.
  23. Bingo. It isn’t that it definitely will lead to positive changes, but unlike when WLP had an iron grip on things, they can change. I still believe the NRA could be a massive force for good if managed effectively. Imagine if the FPC or GOA had the resources and name recognition of the NRA? How much could get done then?
