Netflix List
Second the Americans. I like it more than Breaking Bad. Luther was very good. Too short. Orphan Black is pretty good but starting to wear thin as of last season. I would recommend, if available; Prime Suspect (BBC, not US) Life on Mars (BBC, not US) Almost Human, only one season. Makes me sad. Torchwood is a spin off of Dr Who and is pretty good, especially the "mini series" Children of Earth And currently I am enjoying The Intruders in it's first run.

Awesome, Ruger LCR in 9mm!!!
[quote name="Underdog" p A negative to a revolver is that it doesn't absorb any of the recoil. So, a 9mm revolver kicks more than a .38. For those that carry a 9mm handgun, this would make a nice backup gun. I have one in .38/.357. The rubberized grip helps with recoil a lot. I reload the .38 ammo but it's ready state is with .357 magnum ammo made for snub nose. It isn't terrible. However for this gun I am resigned to reflex shooting at very close range (I keep it in the part of the house where the rooms and hallways are shortest). Ammo considerations aside, I just cant get enough practice in a acquiring the sights to make it second nature, in other words, it's tough. But the trigger pull is fantastic and out to ten feet you can just think where you want to round to hit, and with a .357, that's not bad.

Cat Saves Kid from Dog Attack
Cats are very territorial. They also, according to recent studies, believe that humans are big cats that are part of their clowder, so an attack on one is an attack on all. Or rather, can be. Cats are weird. Although you don't see see this much, I remember fondly my cat Tabitha lofting herself onto my neighbor's German Shepherd when it came after us three kids. I was eight at the time and my sisters were around that kid's age. The cat was twelve and she slept for about 2 days afterwards, but we all still talk about her literally riding that dog out of the yard. I would bet the cat in the video is a female. At the end of the video you see the boy walking to the front of the car and you see the cat looking back and moving with him. That's what Tabitha did. Once the dog left the area she came back with us and was like "okay lets get together and kick some ass". It really was an amazing experience.

super cross!
Yes, i was there. Fun as it was, i found it really hard to pull out which rider was which. I also wanted to see most of the riders that ended up injured, especially that Kawasaki team. They are being rebroadcast today if you still want to see them.

Al Jazeera America report on Gun rights in Chicago
This is not what you expect. Not quite spot on, but it is definitely not the usual hatchet job. "Chicago gun rights activist takes aim at ignorance" http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/live-news/2014/4/chicago-gun-control.html

New NJ gun bills stalled?
A few things. The guy got in his car and shot at people. But more ominous is that the Army doesn't think it was a mental health issue anymore.

Shooting at Fort Hood (breaking)
Nice! Concise and to the point. Getting prescribed anything is not a legal judgement. All the drugs people complain about now as over prescribed are still only offered as an option most of the time. If it makes you feel better and you can afford it you continue. The "off to the nut house" routine is a legal action. So unless some judge somewhere has decried that you must take a prescription drug or be in an institution, or a school requires it for a child to be allowed into class, it is still all voluntary.

Detroit mom stops home invasion
Probably posted before but not found using relevant keyword search. Detroit mom fires on three home invaders and her security cameras record it.

Just played some airsoft last weekend and had a blast
I think the only thing I would like to buy right up front is the gloves. The full uniform stuff worn by 13 year olds is kinda funny but at that age I can dig the enthusiasm. I never looked into the air soft because of the lack of marking, but all the paintball places near me won't allow me to even walk on with my full-auto marker. That mentality bugs me. I laugh at GI Joes in paintball. Some guy on Sunday tried bursting into a small room with a tommy gun and an AK shooting all over the place, claiming he killed everyone. LOL. Part of the spectacle I think. i laughed my head off. But any way, i would be interested in a used MP5 if the price is right.

Anyone with an MP5 kinda thingy?

Just played some airsoft last weekend and had a blast
Thanks guys. As far as not getting into it because of the cost, I think there is a lot to be said about rentals. If the rental guns don't suck then why buy one? That said, the way I am looking at it now is that the playing of the game outweighs the thought of "kitting up." There was a young woman at this place I went to that had two AS Glocks and ran around in a hoodie shooting like Lara Croft. I am looking to focus on the fun factor at the moment. Heck, $50 for an AS shotgun. And they have concussion grenades I am going to be looking into this more as my old thigh muscles recover from the pain. I was at strikeforce, btw.

Out on Long Island. It was very fun to watch kids and adults running around having so much fun. At this place though, it looked like no one cared about muzzle awareness, fingers on the trigger and just general safety rules. I wonder if this is the norm? What are the airsoft places like here in NJ. I am thinking about checking out the one in Hacketstown.

Article: "Adam Lanza's father in 1st interview: He would have killed me 'in a heartbeat'"
Well said newtonian. Additionally, having someone diagnosed is one thing, wrapping your head around the fact a loved one will never get better, or looking at a lifetime of expensive treatment once accepted can make people put their heads in the sand. I know a family that has had their now 50 year old sister in and out of institutions all her life that still say "she's just trying to get attention." The system is as broken as anything else in this country. What is truly sad is the ordinary person's beliefs and prejudices about it - the system and the mental health in general. Your average joe on the street says it's all mumbo jumbo.

Great article. Thanks for the link. sad as hell. Expect the term pseudocommando to be thrown around more in the near future, as defined on page 7.

Is gun ownership on the decline?
A recent mouse click cow top ten list on Market Watch .com (i'm not going to insult with the link to the garbage) claimed that run ownership is on the rise. I guess it all depends on what bs angle best suits your audience. Aw hell, here's the link. At least the relevant info is on the first page. The rest of the garbGe will make you cringe. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/10-things-the-gun-industry-wont-tell-you-2014-03-07?link=MW_popular

Someone's SHTF every day...
I wish I understood what they said. However none of that information really can lead you to a conclusion. A trained sniper goes where you can't find him and fires so you can't locate him. It is very plausible that a sniper would in fact hide in a building and shoot from it even with "enemies" in it. I would be surprised if these rebels had the skill set to clear a building of snipers judging from how they couldn't ever figure out not to stand in a pool of blood. Furthermore, I hadn't suspected that the police were doing the shooting. There are plenty of people against what they were doing in their own country. Some of them military, some just plain old people not willing to let the protesters over run parliament.

NJ homicides skyrocket after passing stricter gun laws.
Some dude started a task force to combat non-fatal shootings in Newark and was successful. If only they could target some other kind of shooting to help bring the homicide rate down. Hmmm

Supercross 4/26 Met Life Stadium
That's going to be a great week for me. The weekend before I am a corner marshal for MotoGP in Austin, off for a week then supercross. Life is good, potentially. Makes up for the wasting of AMA Road Racing. A little.

Someone's SHTF every day...
I think it has more to do with how your brain freezes under stress. They were psyched to do battle with riot Police but were completely untrained for the kind of situation it turned out to be. Mentally they were scared out of their minds, had no experience to even communicate what was happening to the rest of the group, no way to even process that there was an active sniper "covering" the area. They were pinned down and they didn't even know what the word meant.
