State Tyranny

I’m listening to the George Takei interview on Penn’s Sunday School.

Takei talks about how American Democracy whole-heatedly supported the internment of Japanese US Citizens during World War II, and the horrible racism and injustice that surrounded that dark page of history.

All I could think about were the disgusting statists in the anti-freedom movement in their claims that this not only could never happen again…but probably that it never happened in the first place.

Thanks I’ll keep my guns, because I suspect these beasts dream of us disarmed and living in camps.

“Gun Death” Creative

Those who use the metric of “Gun Death” seem to imply that guns can only really be used for murder. Violent people have a little more imagination:

A Minneapolis man who threatened his wife with an ax and a lit blowtorch is being charged with terroristic threats, according to a release from the Minneapolis Police Department Tuesday, Sept. 25.

On Sept. 17, Richard Scott Armstrong, 40, waited for his wife — who that day began divorce proceedings — on the porch of a house on 30th Avenue South in Minneapolis with an ax. When his wife arrived, he said he wanted to “talk,” police said.

Now there is no “Death” here, but I think we all know that blowtorches and axes are no joke when used for violence. We ban guns like those who use “Gun Death” wish, the good people will be defenseless, but the violent monsters (who the “Gun Death” blood dancers don’t really concern themselves with…really they only care about gun owners WHO HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIMES) will come up with ways to kill.

Nice little utopia they dream of, huh?

Help A Friend

Now a while back Tam had a little issue with her nose. At Blogorado she had a bandage on her nose. I’d been thinking about her ever since I’d heard about the concerns, I wanted to mention it, but frankly we were all having a grand time, and I didn’t want to bring up something so grim and kill the mood.

Well she got the results back and it was indeed BCC. FYI BCC was the primary cancer research I was working on in my cancer research run. Its not the “Big Casio” and some might say, but its no joke either.

Matt G, who’s known Tam longer than I have points out she does indeed have a tip jar on her blog! Any little bit will help. Hell if you read her everyday like I do, sling her what you’d pay for a year of your local daily paper (Tho Tam probably has more readers than most papers), and add a zero if you want to show off.

Also via Jay I heard that Rimfire Design is raffling off some awesome custom grips for Tam Donations, also Zercool is raffling off a Dragon Leatherworks Talon. I’m hearing about another pending raffle, but its not ready for prime time yet, so stay tuned for more details on that.

Seriously, we all read her, we all love her, and now there’s prizes. No damn excuses!

Best Wishes, Tam, we do indeed love you!

**Update** Dennis is raffling off a Dragon Leatherworks Viper I got a good close look at Jay’s and it is REALLY impressive work!

Also for those of you wanting to give something other than cash, Erin is sending a package to Tam. Contact her to join in!

**UPDATE 2X** McThag has entered a lower into the fray!

“Gun Death” Dog Mauling

Another “Gun Death”

A newborn boy died Monday night after being mauled by the family pit bull while police were responding to a domestic violence call at the home, MyFoxDFW.com reported….Three-month-old Rayden Bruce’s grandfather was holding the infant while the parents argued. Police were called after the argument escalated into pushing. When police arrived, one officer took the mother’s statement outside while another spoke to the father inside.

The baby had fallen asleep in the grandfather’s arms, so he went to put the sleeping baby on the bed and came back to talk to his son, police said. A short while later, the grandfather heard noises from the bedroom and went to investigate. That’s when he found the dog had attacked the child.

Man look at that, we have domestic violence, police on scene, and “Gun death”. Now some may blame the breed of the dog, I really don’t go so far. Yeah Pits are fighting dogs, so its in their blood, still any dog can attack, and any medium to large dogs can kill an infant or small child, and larger medium breeds, and large breeds can kill a grown adult.

Still who wants to bet Momma and Baby-Daddy fighting got the dog all riled up?

Sad story. Sadder still that there are people so cold they couldn’t care because they can’t use it to further their agenda!

Nice Video on Case Annealing

A way to do it I’ve never seen before.

I had always heard the easiest way to do it was to set up your brass in a pan of water and torch them until they glow, then tip them into the water with the torch nozzle. Interesting that he says if they glow red the cases get TOO soft.

I still think I’d like to try the pan method, but I’ll be more careful when heating as not to over-anneal the brass.

Annealing is a good way to extend brass life as it keeps the brass flexible to the stresses of firing and re-forming to prevent splitting. Of course you still need to trim your cases to proper length and Head Separation.

(I generally just look for the bright line in the case, and when I see it, I scrap the brass).

Reloading is fun!

Lobstah Junkie!

A light one:

A Pennsylvania man could spend up to 25 years in prison for stealing lobsters he planned to sell to support his drug habit.

Junkies need to feed the monkey, and people like Lobsters, so why not steal some bugs for some fast illicit cash?

Nice job dude!
