At the 2019 Bushmaster User Conference (can I be a 'user'?) there was a live fire demonstration of the new 50 mm cannon, evolved from chain-gun technology. "Smokin'" is a performance understatement. Sadly I have not yet found a video of the demonstration. If you do please post it up. The article however is long on specifics.

The lawsuits have been filed. Joshua is on the case.

OK, you got me. Sheesh.

Somehow I managed to buy that Valor in New Jersey. A very nice pistol.

So everybody who loves ASS should really love speed control when it shows up!

Believe it. The Civil War divided many families against each other in both north and south, and that included killing each other. As for Fox News being 'biased', it depends on your definition of 'bias'. In the last 50 years, being biased usually means you're not progressive. Let's see; ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NY Times ... neutral. Fox News: biased. I'm comfortable with that ratio. Are progressives?

To see this phenomenon put to work in the public space, just yesterday, watch the first 10 minutes of this.

I'm sure there's a number of components in the answer to that question. Some of them have been discussed on this forum. The Russia-gate hoax. Jussie Smollet. Covington high school kids etc. With that fresh in our minds, it has occurred to me how are so many (millions?) duped into believing stories that eventually are proved fake? One component is the Illusory Truth Effect. Read this article that deals with Russia-gate in particular. The video is generic and hosted by Dr. Derek Muller. He's the Australian physicist in the 2015 PBS documentary "Uranium: Twisting the Dragon's Tail". As far as I can tell he has no political aspirations. The video is not a political presentation, but rather psychological. Then apply this to the topic of firearms. How many times do we hear phrases beaten to death, especially ill-defined ones. Assault rifle. Racial profiling. White privilege. Gun control. Islamophobia. You get the drift. As long as the media propagates false or misleading information in this manner, there will be a large pool of people subject to their influence. And many of those people vote. This is why there must be repercussions for all the actors in the last two years' debacle. Additional: "Hands up... don't shoot!"

Yes I've gotten these too. And they scraped an outdated password from a website long ago and far away. When they listed all my accounts on the social media websites they hacked I knew it was bullSchiff. I don't have any! On a serious note, if you examine the message headers some of these guys don't know how to mask the originating account address. They just spoof your address to appear in the message from field in your inbox. So, if you care to, you can send them back a note of your choice.

They have added a 'ban on use'. Here's the nut of it: § 1102.02 PROHIBITION ON USE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS A. It shall be unlawful to use any assault weapon in any public place within the City of Pittsburgh. B. For purposes of this Section, "public place" shall include streets, parks, open spaces, public buildings, public accommodations, businesses and other locations to which the general public has a right to resort, but does not include a private home or residence or any duly established site for the sale or transfer of firearms or for firearm training, practice or competition. C. For purposes of this Section, "use" of an assault weapon does not include possession, ownership, transportation or transfer. "Use" of an assault weapon shall include, but is not limited to: 1. Discharging or attempting to discharge an assault weapon; 2. Loading an assault weapon with ammunition; 3. Brandishing an assault weapon; 4. Displaying a loaded assault weapon; 5. Pointing an assault weapon at any person; and 6. Employing an assault weapon for any purpose prohibited by the laws of Pennsylvania or of the United States. D. For purposes of this Section, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that an assault weapon is loaded if fitted with a magazine. I believe criminal complaints will still be filed against the mayor and council regardless of the change. This story explains the addition of the usage ban, and why.

So Death Metal music causes Joy! Greg Gutfeld reviewed this report, and while doing so came up with the best Death Metal band name of all time. IMO.

Another response to Jackboot Jacinda. I thought this one hurt a bit.

So let's pause a minute and reflect why we need/have the 2nd Amendment. And although the U.S. media is breathlessly reporting stories about NZ'ers rushing to turn in their guns, so far the total is 37. And of course all the gun stores are sold out of AR-15 type platforms. Citizens are arming up prior to the ban. That doesn't sound like capitulation yet.

It's all about ASS. No, not that. This. Our new Rav4 also does this. It does seem to key off the brake pedal. If it's firmly down for nn seconds the engine stops. When the pressure is released it starts up. And yes the tach does go to zero.

David French wrote about this today, and why the U.S. Supreme Court must intervene.

Can we adapt that to IDPA?

Leadership to where?

This story has additional info and perspective on the Remington suit, and in the writer's opinion why it's bogus.

The last time I did this, the protocol was to exercise a single independent P2P, and then a day or two later exercise the exemption and its P2Ps. And not the other way around. I don't know if the protocol has changed since then.

If not they better change the law pretty quick. I shoot twice as fast when I use both hands to pump.

Sig Sauer, S&W and Walther ship 2-day air. Not overnight. So do I.

I think Murphy's budget proposal for firearms deserves it's own thread. From NJ.com: "His budget proposal would hike the cost of handgun purchase permits from $2 to $50; firearms identification cards from $5 to $100; handgun carry permits from $50 to $400; retail gun dealer licenses from $50 to $500; and wholesaler/manufacturer licenses from $150 to $1,500, among other fee hikes. His budget anticipates collecting about $1.4 million in additional revenue from the fee. He also wants to impose a new 2.5 percent tax on guns and 10 percent tax on ammunition." Don't you love the $400 carry permits?
