Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I worked for Grumman Aerospace and we were gluing aircraft skins to structure in the 80's. I remember the part # because the stuff was amazing and we used it for other a lot of other things GM4107. It was also used on fuel tanks to limit fastener penetrations. We kept it frozen until it was time to use it, then thaw and apply.
I am sure the newer stuff is even better.
My dad was stationed at Edwards, switched from Navy for the X-15 project. His part was adapting the B52 wing for carrying the X-15. Once they had that ironed out,and it would drop reliably, he switched over to finishing the trials for the B-58. They built a special hangar to fit the tail of that thing, which was the talk of the base neighborhoods. One day he came home with two flat jars of some absolutely foul smelling pudding-like substances. He mixed some up, and I used it sparingly for a model I was building. Phew, absolutely evil. I don’t know what he used it for at home, called it “epoxy” said it was a new type of glue, and that it was used to repair wing damage on then-58,, and went on to explain how parts of th wing and tail planes were honeycomb. Both he glue and the honeycomb were a new line of thinking. Wing damage, by the way, was from idiot E-4’s pushing it into the hanger and catching a wing tip. This was all pre-1960, and I was just a 3d grader. We left for Alaska in May or June of 60.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

I object to the registration of people more so than NFA items themselves. Like it's bad enough we you have to pay a tax on right.

But after ATF 41F/41P was adopted in 2016 you couldn't use the trust route to have your NFA applications approved without submitting fingerprints and mugshot photos. These get added to the FBI Next Generation Identification database permanently and there is no way to remove them without a court order. That information is shared with the States databases and if you live in a blue state that information is going to be used against you in things like a red flag ex parte hearing.

You shouldn't be treated like a criminal and registered like a sex offender for wanting to own a safety device like a supressor. The whole system is fuckery.
If you are a veteran, which many of us are, your fingerprints are already on a database.
