They can pass it without Trump bringing it up, and unless Trump signals he will not sign the bill, I see no reason not to pass it as a clean bill. I have already contacted a few 2A organizations to see where they stand on pushing this ASAP.

Now that Republicans have control of all three branches, it would be the best time to push for this to pass. @Worriedman, is TFA and or GOA in any discussions to get this pushed through before we lose steam in this new administration?

Too far for me, but that would make an awesome base for a portable hunting stand.

Interested, PM inbound,

I think others are available, mine is called Galaxy Charging Current and is no longer available on GooglePlay, It stopped working some on newer phones, the Max mA is blank, but it still shows the Reference and Average mA. But with it not showing one value, it is hard to believe the rest.

One thing I found is that some USB cords just don't charge the same as others. I used to have an app that would tell me what power was incoming and marked my good cords. Apple used to flip some wires inside the cord so only original apple cords would work on apple phones. My phone charges pretty quick, from around 30%, way quicker than an hour, so if yours is taking long, may want to test other cords.

When I use mine, I place it on a sill in the sun while charging and after charging to see if it will top off or at least get some charge back. I normally need to top off my phone once and my tablet once, I connect when I am at 25-30% so they won't go into power saving mode. I've never needed to recharge it with just the panel, just good to know I can if I need to.

I have a similar unit that I take hunting, it usually allows me to get through the day with both my phone and tablet. I also have a battery bank as a backup, but never had to use it.

If it is a plain stock, it will take rattle can spray just fine. Just know that it won't last too long, but it can be done very effectively. No, it is not cerakote, though that will work much better, but guys have been doing this for decades. We did many of our M-4s back in the day to break up the silhouette, and would look pretty decent if you took your time. Just google or DDG some pics, most are camo and look great, so plain ole black should come out great too. The good part is that you can change it out if it just doesn't do it for you. You can also opt for a better paint, like ceracoat or duracoat, but still DIY. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rattlecan+camo+rifle+stock&t=brave&iax=images&ia=images This stock is actually black.

See if they would accept a CD with those files on it with the paper forms, at least the fingerprint files.

Why not do electronic fingerprint and photo files.

Yes indeed, let us enjoy your talent without spoiling it with any of the other stuff. Loved the Big Bang episode, hope that was his personality shining through. RIP!

Kind of, a story I read is that she received a text saying I'm Sorry Mom, nothing else. But she immediately calls the school?? Sounds to me like there were other signs. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/georgia-school-shooters-haunting-3-word-last-text-to-mom-prompted-her-terrified-plea-to-school/ar-AA1qcYL8

Misleading, I am pretty sure the dad did not buy the rifle for his son to use in a shooting. Is he liable, so far I am leaning no. I have weapons all around my house, loaded with one in the pipe. They are for home protection, makes no sense to make it more difficult to get to and use in case I need them for their intended use. The Christmas present, I look at it like this, if someone makes an unfounded accusation, which if there was evidence the FBI would have been more interested in a follow-up. The dad, my speculation, probably thought it was BS, so acted right for months with no other issues. Probably already had plans to buy him the AR and he seen no reason not to. As to them coming for our guns, when they come right out and say it, I believe them. I will not get surprised when they start rounding them up, I am paying attention and fighting it as much as I possibly can, so will not become complacent just because it hasn't happened yet. We have already allowed too many restrictions on law-abiding Americans, I don't care how many laws they pass to keep it out of the hands of criminals, but it should have 0 effect on law-abiding citizens, only criminals. It seems that the criminals have more rights than we do.

I'm all for getting rid of the NFA all together, but I'm ok with semi-auto, I now have to pay for my own ammo and semi-auto is expensive enough for me. Now if they allow silencers, I may get some, but not so much for hunting, but range work to keep the noise down for the neighbors.

Well then just energize the beads, and use a remote to power it on and off.

Heck, I would buy those bead curtains for every door, where every third or so bead would be magnetic.

These guys run the gamut from amateur to expert so it's best to add as much security you can to your devices and accounts. That being said, it gets difficult keeping up with hard passwords so I use a password program. I switched over to ProtonPass from Lastpass because it still lets you access it from a website as well as the app. LastPass used to do that but has switched to a paid version to do that. With that passwords that you can generate can be as complex as you want and it can be human readable or just a bunch of gibberish. My info has been stolen numerous times so all my financial stuff has two factor authentication so they would need to have my phone as well as my password to get in.
