Of course the MSM is yammering about red flag laws. I dunno why though, because red flags are a tool for domestic complaints, liberal dickhead neighbors and co-workers, erpo and all that. It's a snitch based law. Based on the shooter's rap sheet and psych history, Moreno should have been flagged in NICS and denied. However, being a gender confused minority, I'm sure the liberals took pity, and reduced charges to a level that let this psycho fly under the radar.

@Displaced Texan Does Texas do a NICS for all firearms bought through dealers?

I have perused 20 articles on this story, and none are reporting accurately. Each article screwed up at least one detail. In fact, some have been propagating rumors as factual information.

That did happen several times. Could explain why she was not flagged.

The 7 y/o child is/was her biological son, and I don't think she used the kid as a shield, I believe she wanted the kid to die with her because he was 1/2 jewish and despised her ex-husband's family. It has not been determined yet, but it's likely the mother shot her son in the head intentionally when she came under fire.

Only semi-auto has a limit. Manual actions are unlimited, including rifles and shotguns with external mags. The only thing is, you can't have, say, a 20 rd mag for a bolt action rifle if that mag can also be used in a semi-auto.

I'm trying to resize a too small boot partition I stupidly made when I did the initial install. Auto updates are failing because there is not enough space on the boot (root) volume. What I believe I need to do is create a bootable USB stick and resize the main partition, making it smaller by about 10Gb, and then resize the boot partition into the freed up space. This is probably stupid easy, but for whatever reason, I am unable to get Ubuntu to do my bidding. Before I came up with creating a startup stick, I was trying to use Disks to accomplish the task, but Disks will not allow me to resize main partition on the fly. Okay, so it has to be done from a bootable CD or stick, right? Nope, didn't work for me. When I click on additional options, Resize is greyed out. I am missing a step somewhere and need a bit of help to figure out what the missing link is. Maybe I need a third party partition manager like Partition Magic, I just dunno.

Do you already have anything that uses 7.62x39?

303 Britt has a modest following, you could sell those bullets without too much trouble. But, since you are looking for an excuse to expand your gun collection, safe bet is a sporterized Enfield. Lots of em out there.

Ahhhh... So this is where they invented the term "ghost gun". Interesting how they conflate plastic guns that may defeat metal detectors with 80% lowers. It's a false equivalence.

Winchester has caused quite a buzz at Shot Show '24 with the introduction of their new Ranger 22 lever action takedown. Over the past few years, lever action rifles have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, probably due to cowboy action shooting blowing up all across the USA. Both Marlin and Winchester offered lever action 22s up until 2008. After Winchester's 2007 decision to discontinue the 9422, Remington followed suit and shelved Marlin's popular (but pricey) 39A, leaving only Henry's offerings to fill the void. Winchester has stepped up with an affordable handsome "car-bean" made with modern materials and manufacturing methods, most notable, the receiver is made from billet aluminum. The Ranger sports a 10 deg target crown, three position hammer and adjustable trigger. They put some thought into this. I really enjoy shooting my 1972 vintage Marlin 39D, however, its value has increased substantially (like 6x what I paid) since I bought it a decade ago. Now I'm reluctant to bring the 39 to the range for others to shoot, it has already hit the ground twice letting noobs have a go at it. After the dust settles, I just might get a Ranger, Winchester priced it at $419 MSRP, with an eventual street price expected to be around $375. Unlike Winchester's other lever guns made in Japan by Miroku, the Ranger is manufactured in Turkey by the same company that makes their Wrangler line. Time will tell if its worth buying.

<facepalm>

If it uses semiconductors for voltage regulation, it too will be toast. Only about 1/3 of that book was useful, it seemed like Koppel was repeating the same ideas over and over. Still, it is worthy of reading for the useful 3rd.

We will see deforestation like it's never been seen before.

Already seen it. /s The EMPs that take out all semiconductors, including solar energy, is fake news. Solar is the answer to all of Chin.... the worlds economic and ecological problems. /s off. I'm sure nothing bad can come of China controlling global energy production.

Seems to me that the outages are planned, engineered to steer people into going solar, for that "independence". Where does most of the solar stuff come from again????... Nah, no conspiracies here folks, move along.

You're not the boss of me! lmao https://youtube.com/shorts/EZpi3k7CA7U

In Biden's quest to artificially lower gas prices for political favor, he has sold off and depleted the SPR to a dangerously low level. The SPR is at a 400 million bbl deficit, less than half the SPR capacity. The oil sold is being used to keep prices down, but here's the kicker, he is using the profits to fund pet socialist projects.

I think more significant than the age restriction issue, is the court established that lawful firearms owners can not be denied the ability to pack heat during a SOE. Whether open or permitted. This affects more than a handful of PA teens. It cuts off at the pass, the kind of gun confiscating BS that happened during Katrina.

I thought profiling was illegal, or some shit, because it's racist, or some shit.

I think putting "No" , instead of leaving it blank is the way to go. It's not like they can call you out on it, and if they do, you just say "I started to write "none of your business" but got distracted and forgot to put down the rest.

I have not LOL'd IRL in a while, thank you for that. I don't even like football anymore, but I never got over the cowboys beating the Steelers in 79. So, this is really funny to me.

Pediatrician: Do you have guns at home? Me : Can the Pope's dick fit through a doughnut hole? Pediatrician : What the hell kind of question is that!!!! Me: Exactly.
