Spare Gun Parts: Why You Need Them Now
Good advice. I do need to up my AR-15 spare parts bin.
I remember the days when the internet was full of lots of diverse webpages allover the place. Now, it’s just five websites and each posts screen captures from the other.
Via Tam, who strolls down her musical memory lane, comes this animated chart of popular music delivery over time.
I was an early adopter of the CD and Mp3s. I have not made the switch to streaming services because I’m old.
Assault weapons bans and buybacks do not work:
A Justice Department report examining the impact of the ban was underwhelming at best. Should it be renewed, the bans effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement, the report states.
And:
Again, analysis regarding the AR-15 the so-called weapon of choice of mass shooters produces less-than-impressive numbers. Between 2007 and 2018, 173 people were killed by mass shooters using an AR-15, according to a New York Times analysis roughly, 15 per year. (For perspective, 13 people die per year from vending machines falling on them.) The fearmongering regarding this weapon becomes even more apparent when one considers the estimated 8 million AR-15s currently in circulation the vast majority of which will never be involved in a crime.
I have a foul-mouthed, libertarian leaning AI the belches the weather at me.
Sometimes the future is funny.
Sean:
If you just wanted Background Checks, this is everything youve asked for. But if Background Checks are just a stalking horse for the universal firearms registration that you REALLY want, then this is the worst possible thing in the world.
I wouldn’t call it winning so much as strategy.
Speaking of being out in the open.
Bobby Francis: Hell yes, were going to take your AR-15
So, the first target when the shooting starts has self-identified.
A Texas politician told Bob Francis: My AR is ready for you Robert Francis
Little Bobby called this a death threat. Uhm, no. This is in reaction to Bobby’s actual death threat of coming to take people’s guns.
Fuck off, Bobby.
Trump is looking at banning vape flavors. So, six people died from using black market vapes. And the response is to, essentially, create a larger black market. Stupid.
Oh, and record federal spending.
The rise of a African American gun rights group. I support this and, of course, question the assertion that the NRA is waning.
Even better, 60% of the members are women.
Their website is here. I’ll probably join.
Self-Defense Knives: Should You Carry Them?
I carry this one for opening packages. And this one for opening people.
NJ Gov to sign an order limiting doing business with companies that don’t support gun control. To wit:
Under the executive order, the state, which purchases an estimated $70 million in firearms and related equipment annually, will refuse to do business with gun manufacturers and retailers that lack policies that deny guns to people with a history of mental illness or domestic abuse, the New York Times first reported. Retailers that wish to keep the states business will be required to prevent, detect and screen for the transfer of firearms to straw purchasers or firearm traffickers.
Murphys order will also deny the roughly $1 billion in financial-transaction fees the state pays annually to banks that have relationships with gun manufacturers and retailers that adhere to permissive policies.
Why anyone would do business with New Jersey is beyond me.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
