The city of Sacramento, apparently:
After a violent weekend of suspected gang-related shootings, Tuesday the Sacramento City Council took action to reduce the bloodshed.
It approved a controversial program called Advance Peace, which offers cash stipends to gang members who remain peaceful.
Just an excuse to listen to this:
ATF has released its report on Firearms Commerce (pdf file). The data on page 15 I found interesting as it ranked guns and NFA items by state ownership.
And NFA items, in general, show a steady increase in sales.
Dan Gross is out at the Brady Campaign To Remain Relevant. Maybe he knows the group has been overshadowed by Bloomberg’s angry mommies.
Again, it’s hip for anti-gun people to argue the whole bogus militia collective right nonsense. We’ve already had the debate. You lost now get over it.
Not the gun control lies fed to us by Bloomberg and Brady: NRA Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program Reaches 30 Million
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security improperly spent more than $100,000 in asset forfeiture funds on catering and banquet tickets over the last two years, according to a report released Thursday by the Department of Justice’s inspector general.
The inspector general reported that between 2014 and 2016, the Tennessee agency spent $112,614 in asset forfeiture funds on catering, luncheon, retail food, and banquet tickets, all of which are not allowable expenses under the Justice Department’s guidelines for its equitable sharing program.
Asset forfeiture is a scam and should require conviction.
I told you guys a bit back that I cut the extra spring to stuff two more rounds in each. I’ve now ran each magazine a total of four times. And this last time, I had my first failure using one of the WECSOG inspired magazines. On the second round, there was a failure to eject. Old me on the range would have stopped shooting, started looking at it, and trying to figure out what exactly went wrong there. But new me on the range just tapped and rack. The rest of the rounds ran fine. It was steel case TulAmmo.
But in the US Virgin Islands, the governor has signed an executive order stating the National Guard can seize guns and ammo in case it needs them. If they did that, it would definitely be a safe space for looters. This is, of course, illegal.
The NRA is threatening legal action. It should.
Now, with promotional video:
I’m not saying it’s aliens. But if it is, let them go to voicemail:
Its not clear exactly what that object is, but scientists refer to the observable phenomenon as a fast radio burst: a fleeting but extremely powerful blast of radio waves. In this case, astronomers caught a rapid stream of radio bursts coming from a galaxy about three billion light-years away.
Because now you can drop one into a carbine chassis. Sure, other guns do that too. But that looks pretty rad.
I’m a big fan of the movies. Sure, the gun fights are way over the top but Keanu Reeves can handle a weapon very well. Sure, there are other problems with it like:
Some of the bad guys guns are missing sights.
Sheetrock that Wick is behind is bulletproof. Sheetrock other people are behind is not.
And I think he fired a shotgun 14 times before reloading it.
But it’s entertaining. I find myself re-watching the various gun fight scenes regularly. And it’s got some fine cars in it. And dogs. It’s a good guy movie. And someone did the math on how many people Wick has killed by weapon type.
That said, I mention all that just so I can post this video which cracked me right up:
There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people: Why does the U.S. think gun ownership is an inalienable right given that literally all of the developed world doesn’t feel the same way?
Someone with one of those stupid concealed weapons permit badges was arrested for impersonating a cop.
He really should stop before someone gets hurt:
North Korea has threatened to launch an electromagnetic pulse attack that could shut down the United States power grid causing months of blackouts that could bring society to a halt, with rampant crime and social chaos.
Experts say the threat posed by an EMP the side effect of an atmospheric nuclear detonation is significant, and New England is particularly vulnerable.
You do have plenty of food and water, don’t you?
I have a few DVDs that I want to keep the movies but I don’t really use the DVD player. I’d like to somehow transfer them to a streaming service. Any ideas?
I was showing my son how to repair his dirt bike. There was dirt accumulated on the motor and I told him to go get a brush and scrub the dirt off. He comes back with this:
Yup. A hairbrush. I explained to him that he deeded to get a wire bristled brush. He comes back with this:
Yup. The cat brush. I then asked him to get my wrench set. He asked what that was. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to teach him about tools. So, tool class shall commence.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
