    Guy on motorcycle vs guy in car..... yeah.

    Motorcycle rider chases after a van, makes threatening gestures, and then reaches for something in his saddlebag. Minivan driver is put in the position of having to decide whether to act before or after the potential gun comes out and the shooting starts. Textbook case of fuck around and find out.

    Rifle Scopes Optic for 18" 5.56 with Clip On 600-800 Yards

    Maven makes a 2.5-15x44 that might be nice behind a clip on. I was considering it for a DMR style gas gun but then S&B announced a 3-18 due late in the year and Vortex has a 4-24 on the way as well so I'm sitting and saving my cash for a bit.

    Post a political meme go to jail...love Texas

    These things are already covered by prohibitions against slander and libel. The last thing Texas needs is a law making it even harder to make fun of the political class...

    Weird Eley Match Lot#

    You are a bit more easygoing than I am. If this happened to my ammo that I was paying $20 a box for I'd be on the phone demanding a whole new batch from Eley. If I'm paying that much I expect it to be as perfect as it can get and hassle free.

    Three Mother$%#*ing leftiist run states... almost a half billion dollars in fraud

    This one touches close to home so here is some fun facts: During Covid the State of California paid all Unemployment Insurance claims immediately. Sure they supposedly "investigated" the claims later but by the time that the State had determined the claim was fraudulent the scammers had stolen...

    8208xbr thoughts

    Going through this exercise at the moment and while Benchmark seems to be able to match 8208 and Staball Match on the speed side the SD numbers are significantly higher. Also, Benchmark seems to shoot tighter at slightly below max pressure while 8208 and Staball group better at book max.

    This is an interesting potential strategy....

    Right now the Supreme Court has no meaningful ability to control the behavior of lower court judges. My hope is that giving the SC this ability would be a moderating force. I think Justice Roberts would use this power, just not as often or as visibly as the rest of us would like. But at least...

    This is an interesting potential strategy....

    We have three co-equal and independent branches of government. I want to see changes that encourage the independence of those branches because it makes a dictatorship harder to accomplish. My preferred answer here is not to give Congress more power over the Judiciary; I would like to see the...

    I hope SC does away with the H4-EADs

    H1B visas aren't about bringing in high skill labor American companies can't find among the native population. It is about bringing in e-peasants who are willing to work for cheap to depress wages. Those peasants also happen to be incredibly discriminatory and hire other Indians whenever...

    I sponsored the Shitters

    I believe I could hit that target on the clock.

    The 9th Circus Delivers Again

    This was an 11 judge panel. Eight voted to allow the magazine bans and three opposed. So its 8 anti-gun judicial activists.

    The 9th Circus Delivers Again

    In 2017 the Honorable Judge Benitez ruled against California's magazine ban in Duncan v. Bonta and gave California residents "Freedom Week". The 9th Circus quickly put that order on hold and played all kinds of games until the case finally reached the Supreme Court in 2022. The Supreme Court...

    Bench Primer

    Primers were hard to load into the tube and they did not want to feed smoothly. The jaws to hold the base of the case were finkiy to adjust and it was hard to keep the case/jaws combo centered so that primers would smoothly go into the primer pocket. Each time you switched cases you had to redo...

    Bench Primer

    I started out using a Forster bench primer and it was so horrible that I threw it away rather than sell it to some unsuspecting victim. I don't know the right answer for you, but I can tell you that Forster is the wrong one.
