Was the white spot bigger?

Yeah they will be!

More welcome from AZ!

True dat.

Nice! That's a lot of lead on target!

So how's that work? Like a giant version of those e-cigs?

I predict this will be the first thing challenged or withdrawn (quietly withdrawn). You don't tell the Hunts and Rockefellers that everyone on their bullet-proof trusts (trusts these same type families pushed to get legislated protection for in the first place) needs to be photographed and fingerprinted, to be kept on a file accessed by every Tom, Dick, and Harry working for the feds.

Right on brother! And this guy may be a plant/undercover fake. But I'll give him the benefit of a doubt. Until he pulls out his Armalite. Where's that headbanger smiley?

So what does that limit them to doing? Making "control zones" ala Baghdad Green Zone. Government will operate within zones where they have near total control: government centers, military bases, vital industrial districts. You will need a proper pass to access, with certain level passes giving all access, others restricted to one or two areas.

I'm talking about it going down just like in post-WWI Germany (at the time, about the size of Kentucky): one night/day, go out and get 'em. I say it is logistically impossible to go door to door siezing firearms. It may be possible to start in a large city with high concentrations of registration, i.e. NYC, but they'll never make it to upstate NY without losing lots of people. Good luck someplace like Phoenix.

It will have to start in major cities, where the concentration of "government authority" exists. Once they start, the cat will be out of the bag.

Interestingly timed article, with Barry and the alligator tears yesterday. http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/12/21/book-excerpt-gun-control-in-the-third-reich/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0116 Alice Oppenheimer recalled: “At our house [in Frankfurt am Main], the men searched my dad for weapons or something and then took him away. We learned later that all Jewish men between 18 and 60 had been arrested.”

If we find him, we will. He has a death sentence on his head for being an apostate mooselimb, that means he left mooselimbry and denounced it and has claimed Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He's wearing colors of a Christian biker club, generally frowned upon by bikers and Christians for being to rough around the edges. The Christian bikers I've met have great BS detectors. My brother did work for a mooselimb cleric in Tucson who did not leave "the faith", but did a comprehensive study of their book. He announced worldwide that islam was following a satanic version of the koran. He was found made into mincemeat in his mosque in a pool of blood. This was way back in the late '80s or early '90s. Trust but verify.

Welcome from AZ! You're one of the first with the GII but we'll help where we can.

We'll sick the CHP on them:

I'd say there is more than enough blame for crappy road etiquette to go around. As a local delivery truck driver and motorcyclist, I had a list of the biggest asswipe drivers. At the time the flat out worst were yuppie females in Volvos: "I'm in the safest car on the road, no need to pay attention." They were followed closely by men driving large GM SUVs, then men in fullsize Ford pickups tied with anyone in a minivan. Far and away though, those with the biggest attitude about "owning the road" are the untrained motorcyclists: tailgating, swerving to no effect, looking only straight ahead, dragging their feet halfway across an intersection before picking them up, totally oblivious when they put themselves in a near death situation but completely ready to blame "the cager" when they almost crash and/or almost die. Try to explain to them how to be more safe and aware, they immediately jump to "Hey! Motorcycles have rights to the road too!"

Dashcam video of a Montana HP stop, during a winter storm, that turns into multiple accidents.

Very minor compared to the corned beef and cabbage this past Friday.

This was good for a chuckle.

As an insructor who is burdened with the liability of how his students act with the training they receive, I do not recommend firearm-mounted flashlights. Where the light is pointed, so is the muzzle. Yes arguments can be made that everything will be illuminated enough to identify your target (or non-target) before the muzzle is aligned for the shot, your home is your castle, etc. Even here in gun friendly Arizona, pointing a firearm at a person without justification may be treated as a felony (prosecutor's discretion). That's the simple explanation. Now, after having been asleep and hearing a loud noise that roused you from sleep, you arm your sleepy self with a firearm and a light, and a whole bunch of adrenaline. Do you want a more immediate response or an additional layer of time to allow you to process the information? The handheld flashlight gives you that layer of time. Now I will add if you are going to pull the light out of the package, turn it on and off a couple of times, mount it to the firearm and turn it on and off a couple of times, then call it good, you need a separate handheld flashlight. If you are going to train train train to a point where a SWAT officer observing your fine example of warriorship will feel like a person lucky to make it home every day, then mount a light to your firearm.

Me thinks that those soviet and German soldiers weren't carrying too much body fat. Near the beginning of the video they show a cutaway photo of these bullets. Also, it isn't gelatin but soap. Karl and Ian touch on how the Germans didn't use these bullets against non-soviet allies but not (even said they weren't sure) why. The reason was this: Joseph Stalin gave total disregard the Hague and Geneva limitations on warfare or "guidelines on humane warfare" that Russia had signed. The USSR did in fact start the use of "inhumane war" during WWII. Germans only retaliated in kind, to a new nation (the USSR) that refused to fight by gentlemenly standards. IIRC Stalin made "not following the rules of war" the standard when the USSR was playing their part in the invasion of Poland. Taking a cue from the red revolution, Stalin ordered the execution of multitudes of Polish officers and had them buried in mass graves. This war crime was reported to the world, ironically by the Germans, after the pact with the USSR fell apart and Hitler went ahead and took the other half of Poland. Total power corrupts totally: follow the history of the socialists, from Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, to Pol Pot and that Cuban commie.
