Life in the future

Took my son to a soccer tournament this weekend. On the way to one of the games, we needed a quick bite. He wanted chicken nuggets from McDonald’s. We had time to sit down so we ate in the restaurant. We walked in and there were about 6 kiosks where people could order without a cashier. They just enter their order on the screen, pay, and it’s delivered to their table. The lines were backed up 2 to 3 deep and consisted of mostly youngsters and millenials. However, the only cashier had no line at all. We walked right up to her, ordered, and got our food.

Not sure why none why they’d wait for a kiosk rather than order from a human.

Gun control ranking

It doesn’t rank very high on a list of issues people are concerned with.

Gun lawsuits

Sig is suing Glock, claiming it’s current run of pistols infringe on a SIG Sauer breechblock patent. Glock has released a statement explaining the suit.

“journalism”

CNN is pushing the narrative that US culture is responsible for the Crimean school shooting. Actual quote:

As Russians struggle to come to terms with a horrific US-style school shooting in Crimea, which has left at least 20 people dead and dozens injured, Kremlin-controlled media are blaming the “corrupting influence” of the West for inspiring the attack.

Emphasis added for those that need to be told that.

“journalism”

Have a look at this graph from Yahoo “News”:

Everyone seems to be doing better, right? What headline would you go with? Well, if you’re Rick Newman, you go with:

The rich-poor gap is getting worse under Trump

But gun control is a winning issue, they said

Then why is Everytown for Gun Safety shifting its ad focus to abortion, health care and raising taxes.

It’s a pretty heart-wrenching story, to be sure. But there is no NFA exception for 70 year old veterans.

Local election stuff

I early voted today. Not sure what this means but I asked the poll worker what turnout had been like. She said it was the largest turnout for the first day she’d seen.

The next thing I noticed is the local talk radio ads. There are all manner of ads for Marsha Blackburn that aren’t ran by her campaign. All of Phil Bredesen’s ads are ran by his campaign. Not sure what that really means, either. Other than PACs are favoring Blackburn.

Another NRA attack

Someone is advocating the Boy Scouts ditch the NRA and start their own firearm safety program.

Get your popcorn

The Brady Campaign to Cling to Relevancy is suing the FBI because a mass shooter passed their background check.

I don’t know who to root for here.

I hope he does something about it

Reason:

Trump Slams Very Unfair Drug Sentences

The presidents comments could improve the prospects for federal penal reform.

But mass shootings are an American thing

An attack at a college kills 19. Unpossible. Russia has all those restrictive gun laws.

First, there was Glock the book

And now, Glock the movie. Some interesting tidbits in the article.

Knife Bleg Update: Initial impressions of the Emerson Commander

After mulling my options, I went with the Emerson Commander. It’s a quality knife. The blade is very well made and feels less, I dunno, Samurai-swordy than the Spyderco. It opens smoothly either by using the Wave or with the thumb. A few pros:

Good weight for a knife that large.

I like that it’s constructed with Phillips head screws instead of those little torx/alan types that, when they are small enough for knife construction, tend to strip.

About the only con I have with the knife is that the body is not tapped for screws so that one can move the carry clip for left pocket carry.

Sears

Tam laments their recent demise.

As a kid, we got their catalog twice per year. And my sister and I would argue over who got it first. See, we’d thumb through it, take a pen, and mark the toys we wanted for Christmas. I spent many, many childhood hours looking through those catalogs, imagining how awesome Christmas was going to be.

Lying to win

Senator McCaskill is running for reelection. She supports all the gun control. Only, she doesn’t want to tell anybody that because it’s a losing issue:

People just cant know that. MO Sen. McCaskill Hides Agenda Including semi-automatic rifle ban from Moderate Voters, Staffers Reveal in Undercover Video it could hurt her ability to get elected.

Well, OK

Police can’t shoot unlicensed dogs

Unless it’s coming right for them:

A federal appeals court ruled today that Detroit police didn’t have carte blanche to shoot a woman’s dogs during a drug raid simply because they weren’t licensed.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded a lower court ruling in the case of Nikita Smith, who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Detroit Police Department after a narcotics raid left three of her dogs dead. A federal judge dismissed Smith’s lawsuit last year, ruling that her dogs, because they were unlicensed, amounted to “contraband” under the Fourth Amendment.

Papers, please.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
