MacGyver

He should at lest have to call George W. Bush and sing the "I'm very sorry" song or something.

Keep it out of your mouth and you'll be fine.

That is pretty!

The current talk is allowing Feinstein's bill to come to a vote on the floor so that red state democrats can vote against it and say they helped defeat an AWB.  Then, with that out of the way, they'll introduce a bill with universal background checks, federal trafficking provisions and a magazine capacity limit.   They're going into the "negotiation" with the preconceived idea gun owners are going to give up something.

I hope they sent John Yoo some flowers or a card or something.

With our victories over the past 20 years in both state legislatures and the judicial system, the gun grabbers know that this is their last, best chance to do anything.  If they can't get it done now, they probably won't get another chance.   This may in fact be their final stand.  While on one hand that seems like reason to celebrate, be careful.  People who feel like they've got nothing to lose are some of the most dangerous adversaries out there.

North Korea, Iran, they're all the same...   Yeah, it was Iran.  I clearly need to revisit the coffee pot this morning.

There's some speculation that the "stealth jet" they unveiled yesterday is actually a GI-Joe toy from the 80's

Remind me to toast Edmund Randolph the next time I get a chance.  Turns out that whole bicameral legislature is pretty important.

So, I guess the fine folks up at Purdue have gotten tired of competing to see who can get their grill ready to cook the fastest. Determined not to let their boredom get the better of them, they've designed a device that can serve a ping pong ball at Mach 1.2 with roughly the same energy as a .32ACP round. Goes to show that there really isn't anything more dangerous than a bored engineer. http://www.gizmag.com/how-to-build-a-supersonic-ping-pong-gun/26082/

I heard this fool on NPR this morning.  Of course the first words out of the host's mouth after airing the story were, "did we just hear someone incriminate themselves live on air?"   Seriously, people...    Why do we keep sending these fools up there?

Feel good story of the week!

Looks like Wayne was right. We really do need more good guys with guns: http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/man-shot-near-martin-luther-king-jr-high-school-in-detroit

You need to tack together a Faraday cage to store it.   Pretty straightforward to accomplish.  You could repurpose some old ammo cans in a pinch - just remember the rubber seal will invalidate the protection - you will need to remove it and bridge the gap with some foil or something.

With all the bad stuff going on, we could all use a pep talk: http://youtu.be/l-gQLqv9f4o ...unless your dream is stupid. Then you need a better dream.

Man, that's cool. 

we need about 20 degrees and I'm there.

Let's go get some tacos.

So you're posting here about a problem posting on edcforums? We have exactly zero insight into other forums, but I can say from experience that sometimes mods/admins get covered up with other life stuff. None of us make a living from this. TGO benefits from having several good mods, so others can pick up the slack when any of us get covered up.

Holsters are not required in Georgia - though they're obviously a good idea.   Places of worship are off limits, though the recent SB308 does make it legal to have one in your car in the parking lot.

I don't see Sig releasing this to the market in its current form.  There's no way the ATF is going to bless that as kosher.  That's not a muzzle break - that's a monocore baffle stack for a suppressor.    What's that old saying?  "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck?"   Parts are parts.  Welded or not, you or I would be prosecuted for illegal manufacture if we were to hang one of these off the end of an AR.  There's no way the ATF is going to let them go on this.  It makes it too easy for someone to slip a piece of 1.25" ID tube on the end of it.   That said, I like it.  I might even be willing to part with the tax on two stamps to get a SBR'd one.

A girl I dated one time took me to a show indicating to me that we were going to see "that group that sings that song, Missionary Man. I think." I thought to myself, I like Annie Lennox. I like the Eurythmics okay. It'll be fun. You can imagine my surprise when I showed up and it was in fact a B-52's concert. I wasn't a huge fan, but again growing up around the Athens scene, I thought, "this will be okay." I've seen The Who.  I've seen Black Sabbath and Ozzy on separate occasions, Black Crowes, ZZ Top and dozens of assorted 80's hair bands. Those were all loud. B-52's had them beat by a magnitude of scale. Kate Pierson cranked up way past the pain threshold was absolutely the single most excruciating thing I've ever heard.    To this day, when I hear the opening bars of Love Shack it makes my head hurt.

I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but it's crazy how different it sounds.

Awesome!

 You're probably right about the way it speaks to our psychological makeup.   I already liked the original version of the song, but throwing it into a major key was like someone lifted the shades in that room and suddenly made it a lot sunnier.  I kind of dig it.
