Yeah, I totally didn’t mean to buy such a honking big ass bag. I’m not planning on filling it with more gear, I just wanted it to safely hold my laptop and the gear I currently have as I generally take them on the road with me. So sturdy and well padded was what I was going for and when I was picking it out it was a case of lured into the bigger size by a small amount of extra cost not realizing that it was quite so effing yuuuuge. Still might see if my gimbal will fit as the bag serves more of a permanent gear home than anything.

It’s dead, but it’s not so dead that it cannot return again it just cannot return in its current format. It wasn’t ruled illegal on constitutional grounds, but because it did not follow the law with regards to the manner in which rules must be promulgated by statute. Because the final rule was so much different than the proposed rule they were supposed to start over from the beginning.

So I got the bag in yesterday, and I think I wildly overbought. There’s enough leftover room in here that I think I can even get my gimbal to fit. Thanks again @TripleGGG.

The board of directors is massively large with staggered elections for the purpose of insulating WLP’s ability to treat the NRA coffers as his personal piggy bank. It’s all but impossible to take the board and elect enough opponents of the current state of things to oust WLP. It’s the reason some of the orgs we do support because they do the real work even exist. Reformers from inside the NRA who recognized the futility and left to start orgs to do more than rip off donors.

I ended up going with a Ruggard bag from B&H. $130 all in was not too terrible. If it is halfway decent, it’ll do what I need it to do.

Yeah, that’s a really nice bag and what I’d be looking for if the funds were there. That’s like an HK and I’ve rolling with Taurus money.

Soooo I’ve got about the crappiest bag on the planet to tote my gear around in. I desperately need something better and don’t have a lot of money to spend $3-400 on a bag. I’m looking for budget options to be able to carry my Sony a7III, 4 lenses, flash, MacBook Air and assorted bits. Any recommendations?

This is a really neat rifle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_aY77b4ST4 Here’s a Forgotten Weapons video on it for anyone looking to know more about it. GLWS.

I haven’t read too much from him as of late. I can tell you, though that he is the reason why any of us know of the Fast and Furious operation.

Codrea is far from ignorant, but he is absolutely aiming for inflammatory here.

I’ve got this book sitting on my shelf in the queue to read. Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA https://a.co/d/9Tl4ekY

I think we’re talking about the difference between a dude changing his own oil and a nascar crew chief. Sure, technically they’re both doing car maintenance, but in reality we’re talking totally different things.

damn it. I shared the meme in the group I stole it from. I shall make amends.

This is the winner of the meme format. It’s not gonna get any better.

Smart doctor.

I actually went ahead and took the survey. Lots of vagueness in the questions and explanations of the questions. The responses here are about what I expected and make me proud to know y’all bunch of extremists. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2023/10/27/starts-with-us-to-get-feedback-in-tennessee-for-gun-safety-input/71330296007/ To the OP, since you were a participant in this conference, I would like to off a thought. With regard to red flag laws/ERPOs/etc., they’re not an effective band aid, let alone a solution. I’m a hard line opponent of them due to their 4th and 14th Amendment issues. Also, they do little to nothing to actually address the root issues with the dangerous person. Until we can effectively create and fund mental health structures that can force an individual in crisis to receive help, even if they don’t wish it, we will be applying bandaids to sucking chest wounds and wondering why nothings working. You want the support of folks like me, start there.

The way we do school in the US is actively hostile to boys. The solution has been to attempt to paper over it with psychoactive drugs. It doesn’t work for the kids and it doesn’t work for society as a whole. This case has other factors involved, but I think the primary issue of giving folks drugs instead of getting them real help holds.

If an Steyr TMP and a Mac 10 had a baby…

There’s a vast difference between diagnosing and treating and adult and a child. This is something the medical establishment seems to have forgotten and big pharma never cared about at all. I’ve got a lot of first hand experience and knowledge gained from looking into why certain things may have gone they way they have in my life. I am 100% comfortable standing by my prior statement.
