You mean his talk with wlp 2 days ago that he basically said fuck the nra yesterday when he flip flopped back to pushing background checks? Super confidence inspiring.

If it is a media fabrication, it has been going on for many years. Although with less specifics, there have been a LOT of rumors flying for quite some time about the bullshit going on at the NRA. The thing is, the structure of the organization is designed to be resistant to outside interference, and the people inside of that control structure had been resistant to the membership that has been upset for the better part of a decade. The thing is as long as it was internal problems, the bulk were of the opinion that living with it and plugging away at getting the votes to make change was the better course. However, we have reached a point where what was rumored to be going on has been proven to have been going on, AND the state of New York has weaponized it against the NRA. The shit they have done is going to come home to roost. Fighting the rot quietly no longer has any potential upside. As a rational human, almost everything of use done by the NRA has been a product of ack-mac or the NRA-ILA, and they are the bits being jettisoned to try and protect double dipping board members from NY. The fact that the state level org in NJ after years of trying to figure out which way is down unsuccessfully, has decided to actually participate in the fight just around the time that local viable competition has come on the scene to compete for donation dollars AND the mothership may be going down in flames? Shocking I tell you. Total coincidence. They must have been secretly competent and interested in our best interests the whole time. Yes, the NRA is in peril. Not of being shut down by starving them of money, but by being held accountable for their actions by an aggressive party who wants to use the law against them to the fullest extent. This would not be nearly so hazardous if there weren't so many things that look like they violated those laws. AT the non-criminal level, the prime failing of the board that created risk was not doing the pain in the ass work of moving the state of incorporation to some place less hostile than new york state. That wasn't criminal, it is just stupid and tone deaf to risk. Not understanding that if you are going ot be a hated entity you have to be dotting all your Is and crossing all your Ts and keeping shit well above board is also a place they fell down. Because of that we have insane risk. The core scumbags of the board are also disliked.

It's a change.org petition, likely combined with an underlying employee petition that is linked to it. A large portion of the signatures are likely not even located in the US.

What the hell are you talking about. Is this just gibberish or did somehting actually happen? if so links to the news please?

I'm not saying the whole thing isn't suspicious as fuck, but he used the bed to hang himself somehow. Can you even pull a Robin williams and do a sitting type hanging off them? Tyring to imagine possibilities. I could see tying the sheet in a loop around one's neck and a part of the bed and then spinning around so as to twist it. You wouldn't hang so much as strangle yourself as the torsion increases. But it would be pretty diffuse pressure, no idea if it would break the hyoid .

It's a 9mm carbine so blowback and no gas port. The comp is 1.2" in diameter. It's a linear comp too. And on a 9mm. So it racks up a stupid trifecta and wins and places for being useless. If it is pinned and welded, the tried and true method of undoing it is to sacrifice the comp. Method 1) Dremel with cutting disk. go VERY, VERY slow and cautious. slice the comp on one side length wise with the pin under the cut. Cut all the way trhough to the bore of the comp in the part that isn't over the threads Get as close to the threads as you can on the part that is over the threads. Then use tools to spread the comp open and peel it off. Usually a cold chisel, vice grips, hammer etc. Method 2) dremel with a grinding bit until you get through the weld to the pin. Then use a cutting disk to notch out the metal either side of the pin, and use a vice grips to pull the pin. Then unscrew the comp. If you get the pin out and can't unscrew it. Use a torch to theat the comp until it is dark cherry red. Let cool and try again. That should destroy most thread lockers. If that doesn't work, it's method 1, or heat it to cherry red and try to unscrew it while it is hot. You may want to invest in some heat block/ heat paste to protect the barrel while heating it.

A 7" slightly "bent" camp knife is the best all arounder IMO. unless it has a stupid blade design, you can do chores with it form skinning to chopping. If looking at a lighter 4-5" knife, get something with a full tang and a good grippy handle. For day hikes, you probably won't use a it at all. If you are packing it and it isn't for "because I can" reasons, you have it as insurance in case your day hike goes sideways and is no longer a day hike. IMO that means you are building shelter and/or fire and waiting something out, or you are dealing with moving a person in a state they can't move themselves easily. All of those mean you need to chop stuff. IMO a good 7" camp knife is WAY easier to chop with than a hatchet. MUCH, MUCH larger sweet spot which works faster and gets the job done with less skill unless you are going for full on logs or trees. For kindling to 5" or so logs, the heavy 7" camp knife wins IMO. And that covers light temporary shelter, litters, and small camp fires. If going smaller, to get that coverage, you will wind up batoning it. Batoning or chopping full tang is something you want. I've got a Swamp Rat camp tramp for the job, but they have gone up in price and have never been super available.

RBG already came out and made a statement against packing the court already when it was just campaign trail talk. She isn't stupid. She puts preserving Roe vs. Wade ahead of everything else, and knows that once court packing happens, then they stopp being independant and are just a party extension of whoever controls both houses and the oval office. Over the last 50 years, the parties are tied at 8 years a piece when that happened, but the R's have put up the wins more recently, AND for the last several presidents, when the R's haven't controlled all three, they have controlled the senate or the presidency. So... She's similarly against the notion that you can make a non lifetime appointment look like a lifetime appointment by moving the jsutice to another judge spot.. same reasons more or less. The Rs have had more opportunities to abuse the mechanism in the past, and there's no reason to think they won't in the future if that line is crossed.

In this case I think you are framing the question about the red flag law incorrectly. The police flagged this dude previously. The system ignored it. Why would adding another law that the DA is free to ignore going to help with the DA ignoring people breaking the law?

If they are in process for foreclosure, I'm guessing someone doing the old "in depth" assessment flyby with a camera making sure the land hasn't moved.

wow reading the grammar one. Such disingenuous fucks. They make the claim that since the phrase keep and bear arms appears mostly in docuements referring to militaries that it can't possibly be referring to individual rights. Totally and willfully ignoring the "the rights of the people" part. Yeah no shit it is military language. It is saying the people have the right to keep and bear arms as any military would because THEY ARE THE MILITIA. It makes even more sense when you include the fact the government is not supposed to have a standing army.

High profile death, they will do toxicology regardless of evidence. It takes time for the lab to return results, so that is likely what they are waiting on. Other possibility is DNA test.

You just need to read more stuff. The lefties are saying it's a Trump hit, the righties saying a Clinton hit. Why he was removed from suicide watch is baffling. There's really no reason for this mess to go away. IF it does, then the fix is in.

not a bad article.

Credit monitoring is a bunch of soft pulls. They won't be seeing their $30 million cash find payed back anytime soon. It wasn't a marketing ploy. It is once again trying to mitigate the cost and avoid responsibility, but after the fact.

No. Possibly People are unlikely to sign up with the company that leaked. So as you stated odds are any new monitoring customers that aren't getting ten years free are going to be giving money to your competitors. This isn't marketing, this is trying to pay a portion of their find back to themselves as the service provider. Just like we have laws preventing criminals from profiting by their acts in the form of books and memorabilia and such, companies that leak should not be able to direct any settlement funds or fines back to themselves directly.

Oh I think that is the first layer of fear. They are very concerned that they will get a ruling that demands strict scrutiny for 2A cases. Even worse, strict scrutiny and verbiage that makes it clear that it covers more than just semi automatic handguns as heller stated clearly, since they like ignoring the common use bit and going for the specific example.

We had intermediate scrutiny. Unless something really weird happens worst case we retain intermediate scrutiny with some additional verbiage and precedent for the 2nd extending outside the home in some manner. If that's the case, unless SCOTUS hears it and tells them mag capacity bans don't fly. it sticks. I guess this is possible and that scotus is now open for business individually second guessing every piece of crap legislation. But.. Assuming there is a point to accepting rather than dodging the case, it would get something other than the same old same old out of it. Which means either strict scrutiny or a well defined judicial test. Either of them would apply to everything associated with the second amendment. I do doubt that they will provide a ruling that would cede all regulatory power of the government, so obviously some regulations will stand. But I think you will have to be more clever than an outright ban of commonplace arms.

Or you know an actually sciency weather report https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/coronal-hole-activity-31-july-1-aug-2019 We've been over this a jillion times here. There isn't any good indicators this is going to be anything significant and we do kind of keep an eye on that stuff these days with multipl 24-7 space based solar observatories and what not. Said holes have been open for a while. The prediction is for a G1 storm resulting in minor power grid fluctuations. In case you were worried, the last G1 storm we got hit with was July 10th 2019. It was a total surprise. Didn't notice it? Shocking I say! Shocking! The fucktards are only printing alarmist bullshit because there's an actual forecast for this one. Also of note, these holes? there's more than one, and we got whacked by one earlier this month. You didn't notice that one either. The likely only reason there is a G1 forecast for this one is because the last G1 we got hit with referenced above took us by surprise and we couldn't prove it was related to a sneaky mass coronal ejection, and thus have to assume the coronoal holes might be spewing a bit more energetically than usual. So a negligible geomagnetic storm is literally is their cautiously pessimistic estimate. Stop listening to fucktards. Or at least heed the words of Ronald Reagan and trust but verify.

So you don't think if SCOTUS says strict scrutiny is required, it wouldn't effect mag capacity limits? By what reasoning? If the state's interest is to protect bystanders, and that is considered valid, then you would have to show it is the least restrictive method to get there. Since you can miss ten times with a ten rounder and miss two times with a 30 rounder, I'm not seeing how it gets you there, and it is demonstrably a restriction, so...

mmm a nice hot slice of scrapple. Nothing like food that looks like you are eating a dirty scotch brite pad.

I'm not sure if the court has to respond to the second filing to moot the case.

Apparently Friday NY got told no for their extension. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/new-york-state-rifle-pistol-association-inc-v-city-of-new-york-new-york/ Jul 26 2019 Motion for a further extension of time to file respondents' brief on the merits denied.

Mountain lion got him.

Oooh the right to sue. Prove they were the first and only to leak your data. Hmm can't? Take the $125. It's literally 10x the typical settlement I've seen from companies that directly stole my money. I'm also perpetually multiple layers deep in courtesy credit monitoring from shithead companies. On top of that, it's not like a bajillion companies won't be giving you the same opportunity in the future without having ever paid you off any. Take the $125 and protect your stuff. Place a freeze on all three agencies. Since this shit went down, none of them charge any more for an unfreeze. It's a pain in the ass when you want to apply for credit, but I have done it a couple of times. If they hadn't reduced the fee I'd be claiming that too.
