Armed Eye Doc

By then, triggers on firearms will be banned in Cali.

They make them in-house in Texas. https://www.larue.com/products/larue-tactical-mbt-2s-trigger/

I ordered mine on Friday with "I got plenty of time" and got a tracking number this morning.

Twig arms.

I have a couple more of them already. I'm not disappointed in the price.

I just bought two of them at $99 last night.

Mmmm, gator tail.

Unfortunately, yes this is true. The sad part is that it is with the complicity of most of the federal government. Texas may need another one.

My point is not whether or not we grew up knowing the difference. We had history taught to us and American exceptionalism was not a bad thing. Today's kids and many millennials have grow up without the same influences that we did. The American way of life is no longer celebrated and, in many cases, it is being demonized when it is taught to kids. This leads to young adults, and some who are not so young, who are actively trying to "fundamentally change" the very ideas that made America what it is. A glaring example from recent news is the socialist who was selected as the candidate for US Rep in NY. That would not have happened 30 years ago. It may be a distinction without a difference to us, but the meaning will get lost when it is not proclaimed. These are obviously cherry-picked clips, but still depressing. Here is a 2011 poll about knowledge of Independence day. I can't imagine that it has gotten any better. http://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/misc/usapolls/US110615/July 4th/Complete July 1, 2011 USA Marist Poll Release and Tables.pdf

Here is another one. This time the NY trooper was responding to a suicidal man who shot at the officers first. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/trooper-is-killed-answering-call-to-home-of-school-principal/ar-AAzv60V?ocid=ientp A New York State trooper was shot and killed early Monday near Corning, N.Y., after arriving outside the home of a school principal who was said to be suicidal, the authorities said. The deadly encounter took place sometime after 3:30 a.m., on a secluded, dead-end road not far from the Pennsylvania state line, in Steuben County. The state trooper who was killed, Nicholas Clark, 29, was one of several officers who went to the home of the 43-year-old principal, after the man’s estranged wife had called 911 saying he was suicidal and might be armed, the authorities said.

Exactly

I was scanning through my emails and ran across numerous advertisements for sales promotions from a wide variety of stores. Many of them had Independence Day sales but there were quite a few that had 4th of July sales. That deletes the meaning of what we are supposed to remember on that day. It is, IMO, disrespectful to all those who have fought and died to gain and protect our freedom. I was most surprised that PSA @Palmetto State Armory fell into the 4th of July side. All that we have learned about them indicates that they are patriotic but they have fallen into the common substitution of the two terms. So that I am not singling out PSA, a site sponsor @MoriartiArmaments sent a Happy 4th of July email. Texas company Bond Arms is another guilty party. I expect it from non-firearm companies like Office Depot and Lands End. They sterilize everything through a PC filter. It would be be similar to wishing someone a Happy January 1st. You get the idea of the statement but it is not the same. I may be arguing semantics, but if you don't proclaim what you're celebrating, the meaning will be lost.

Or you could wear this one.

Heard this one yesterday. It had been a while.

He is hurling already.

That must be why I like it.

Here's a new one I heard earlier today.

@98Z5V

I thought @98Z5V has one or had plans to build one.

You have a litter.

I found some pork sirloin roasts for 97 cents per pound and figured I wouldn't be out much if I screwed up. About 2 pounds each, a generic pork rub plus some cayenne. Smoked at about 275 for 1.5 hours with a mix of apple and hickory. Pulled at 165 internal. I think they could have used a few more degrees. It is tasty though.

I figured that I would get that out of the way since I was first to respond.

I noticed that you posed with the massive snake coming out from between your legs. I'm sure that was just an accident.
