Alec Baldwin Shoots and Kills Cinematographer, Wounds Director
From what I'm pulling out of my butt, I seem to recall that the FBI or whoever messed with the gun enough that they managed to get the hammer to drop on a live chamber without the trigger being pulled. I guess they got expert opinions that said the only way that can happen is if they really did screw it up in their investigations. Now, here's the thing with the modifications; there is an entire (small scale) industry devoted to slicking up cowboy style guns for both Hollywood and a sport called Cowboy Action Shooting in which a bunch of old parts dress up like they are in the old west and have shooting completions. They lighten the hammer springs up a bit, and polish all the surfaces where metal moves against metal. It makes a fast draw much faster for someone who practices. Hollywood sends their guns out to the same folks, because they also crave that historically inaccurate fast draw. His defense is likely to argue that the action job was done incorrectly and caused the hammer to drop without touching the trigger. Regardless, there is not a single source from any actual armorer from before or just after the incident that says what he did was standard protocol. I ha e found nothing but the opposite. And the law don't care if your SOP's say it's OK to point gun at somebody and pull the trigger. All that said, he should probably get some sort of plea deal out of this. Punishing people for the sake of punishing them is dumb.

The Supremes
Every election cycle, the executive branch assumes more and more power through the expansion of the Chevron doctrine, yet we have a bunch of cheer leaders in here acting like it doesn't enable the kind of authoritarianism we saw under the past administration. It clearly needs to be curtailed. Let's hope that's all they do. Worst case, mass chaos, but with the silver lining that the pubs won't be able to pull as much shuts off.

Things Not Going Well for Alec Baldwin
Yeah, a light plea deal or no charges makes sense, although the common narrative about how he didn't do anything wrong contradicts everything I've seen from actual Hollywood arnorers about gun safety on set from before or shortly after the incident.

Lol, if your gonna make a post about how dumb somebody is, you should probably proof read it first...not that your point doesn't stand. Somehow, my ggggg grandfather came over in the 1820's with a very Danish name that has survived all these years intact. The ship manifest from his arrival and his confirmation records from Copenhagen match how we spell it today. On the other hand, my first name came from my great grandmother's maiden name, my ancestor on that side came over during or before the Revolutionary War. He was French, and the spelling of his name is all over the place even in contemporary records.

Form 1's by efile are getting approved pretty quickly if you word it right, but you can't say you intend to use any commercial parts to make it like solvent trap kits.

The Gun Owner’s thread
I filed my amnesty brace by mail on May 31, and got my approval on September 18. I also only sent in one fingerprint card instead of two, so I was expecting to have to redo it. I guess I got lucky.

Cowboy Boots
Texans drove cattle to the railhead in Kansas, a here they got paid and had new boots made. So a thriving business arose there making boots.

Yeah, they are basically just bags of iron filings that heat up as they oxidize.

I carry a SAA replica in .357 with a three inch barrel and a bird's head grip. It conceals well enough under a long shirt, and points more naturally than any auto I have.

The last time the pentagon was audited, they couldn't account for half of their budget. This is a rounding error for just the unaccounted for money.

Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em
Wouldn't a good muzzle break tame some of those larger magnums? My 50 BMG is just a single shot bolt action, but the recoil is manageable because the muzzle break does such a good job. It takes it more of a big push instead of a sharp kick. Of course, it feels like a grenade exploded in front of your face, and you really don't want to shoot it from a prone position because it pushes you back so far, but I can’t imagine trying to shoot it without one.

Yeah, but if they sell their product at nearly zero margins, abusing the system has the same effect and increases their costs, which cuts into their main revenue.- Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
REI used to have a very liberal return policy, but folks abused it and they had to ditch it. So there is that. A select group of abusers ruined something for everyone who was responsible with it.- DACA, immigration reform whatever
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the effects on the countries that immigrants are coming from. Most have declining birth rates, and just like us, have an economic system that requires the opposite. I'm all for immigration, but we should be working towards policies that help the countries they are coming from as well. Especially since those countries are on our border.- Reacher
