Fun Turns to Tragedy!!!
The Skinny
I am a gun enthusiast trapped in the People's Republic of Maryland. My political affiliation is Independent, as the Ruling parties are both full of crap, and long ago stopped representing the common man. If the Libertarians weren't such freaks I would probably be one. I am a member of the Nation of Riflemen and damn proud of it. I once took an oath that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As far as I know I never broke that oath, and will continue to follow it. I am not Politically Correct and will NEVER be Politically Correct. If you need to know more, feel free, Ask.

Well I ordered my Pact powder measure on January 23. I got a “should” ship time of 5 to 10 business days. I called them around the 8th of february or so and they said it would ship in the next couple of days. Well on the 23rd of February Pact finally billed my credit card. So hopefully I will get it next week.
Hopefully they are just all backed up from the bargain price that they offered on the powder measure for the holiday season. It would have been good customer service to send me an email stating that they were sorry for the delay because of the large backorder due to the christmas rush. But they didn’t. So if you go to order a Pact powder measure you may have to wait a bit to get it from Pact.
On a side note I called on the 24th and requested a manual for my Pact timer that I purchased in 1996 and they got it to me in 3 days.
Update:
Got the powder measure on monday. Set it up in the basement, calibrated the scale and then the powder measure. I then started to drop some loads. it averaged 18 seconds for a 44.1 grain load. I figure that is quite acceptable. So the first fifty are loaded and ready to go to the range…
Hat tip to Cowboy Blob…
You are RALLY - Guns are your life. Not only do
you have your own guns, but you repair other
peoples’ guns. You are very career-minded,
and have no time for relationships. Who
needs kids? After all, you’ve got your guns!
What anime gun-toting hooligan are you?
Went to get a Honda S2000 today… They just sold the one that I wanted when I got there… Bummer…
My first choice when I started looking was a 350Z track model. They are so hard to find used that I had given up on that idea. But…
This was waiting for me at the car dealership. It is an 03 with 20,000 miles on it… In my second color choice (yellow was the first).
Needless to say I am thrilled… Time to go back out for a drive…
I have been bellyaching for quite some time that winter either needs to get busy being winter or lets roll the clocks so that it is 70° and just getting dark at 8PM…
Well I got my wish… Winter is back. Hopefully when all is said and done we will have 12 inches of snow…
I love the snow…
On a side note I am looking to buy a convertible in the next few weeks…
Update: Well we got 12 to 15 inches of snow around our house. An hours worth of work this morning and I had the driveway and parking area all blown out. I also blew out a path through the yard for Max, he looked pretty pathetic hopping around, as the snow came up to his neck in some places.
The Council of Peoples’ Commissars has resolved that:
1) All Citizens and all civil organizations should surrender machineguns, rifles, revolvers of all kinds - whether working or defective - as well as cartridges, and all models of sabres.
This decree also applies to all organizations which possess the above-mentioned weapons, and which are not part of regular military detachments approved by the People’s Commissariat of Military Affairs or the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic.
NOTE: All certificates for keeping weapons are therefore invalidated.
Deputy Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, E. Sklyansky

Well the socialists in Maryland are busy getting busy again this year…
The above resolution is their end game, don’t fool yourself into thinking that they are looking out for your own good…
Thats right folks Quinter is at it again… But this time it is special, as he wants lots of publicity (Del. Neil F. Quinter, a Howard County Democrat, said at an Annapolis news conference that banning the high-powered guns would make Maryland safer) and he even drug Mayor Martin O’Malley into the fray. You would figure that the mayor would not want to attach himself so publicly to the gun bigot cause as his city had 278 murders last year. You would figure being the mayor of one of the five most violent cities in America he would be a bit more interested in lowering crime in Baltimore. Instead he is hitched his caboose to the train wreck that is the Assault Weapons Ban 2006. Its the criminals stupid. But wait there is more. You then get this money quote from his chief of police.
Baltimore Police Chief Leonard D. Hamm said at yesterday’s event that police seized 22 assault weapons last year while collecting 4,500 other guns.
“That may not sound like much, but if you’ve ever seen one of these things in person, they’re absolutely frightening,“
Well when the police chief is terrified of an inanimate object you have to start wondering just how he feels when having to confront a criminal. But the more interesting part of that quote is the part about the collection of 4,500 firearms. I will try and look into that.
Maybe if the mayor was busy putting the hammer down on criminals the crime problem would solved by now…
But then the mayors running mate steps up and give us this little quote.
“Assault weapons have one purpose and one purpose only: That is to kill human beings,“
and then…
“If you want to fire an assault weapon, do what so many patriotic Americans do: Join the armed forces.“
Now as a “lieutenant colonel” in the Army reserves you would think that he knew better on that last statement, as the M16 was designed with the intent to maim not kill, as it takes more manpower and resources to deal with the wounded than the dead. Oh, I was in the armed forces and I want to keep on shooting my evil black rifle, its lots of fun to shoot.
The really pathetic part of the
“news” conference was Quinter’s response when Sebastian over at Pro-Gun Progressive asked a question.
It seems that Quinter has seemed to forgotten that he represents the people of Maryland not the newspaper reporters…
I only wish that I lived in Quinter’s district so I could erect a sign…
Quinter, Working hard to ensure that Maryland is safe place for Criminals
Followed by
Quinter, Working hard to take away your rights, one by one
Be sure to go over to Pro-Gun Progressive and read Sebastian’s whole account of the evenings festivities it is very enlightening.
Mark, I hope you understand why I think you may not want to move back to this worker’s paradise. Frankly I would be in heaven if I had a 700 yard range 10 minutes from work…

Well we started watching the superbowl pre game show at 5pm. and I decided to blog about what I thought were the best commercials.
we started out with the amusing commercial where the man wants his kid to be a quarterback but only has 10 yards in his back yard. He proceeds to tear down a bunch of his neighbors yards and build his son half a football yard. Fairly Funny…
Next up was the Motorola commercial where the paperboy is delivering papers on his bike. A guy on a cell phone reaches down to pick up the just delivered paper and winged it back knocking the paperboy off the bike… Very funny… Had to rewind it on TIVO and watch it a couple of times.
The Disney World commercial was quite funny….
Radio Shack commercial where a girl dressed in all black carrying a black kickme dog sits in a red chair and does a pretty good Zsa Zsa Gabor imitation about her loved one buying an iPod video for her Valentines day present. Oh yes get it in Black Darling… Fairly funny… Especially the guy tripping over the red chair while watching the girl walk off.
Radio Shack commercial part two. Tree hugger blathering about saving the flowers. Not funny.
End of the pre game show. Poor Stevie Wonder, that facial hair was unfortunate.
Update… Hum the super bowl has yet to start and there seems to be another pre game show…
Full Throttle commercial. The full throttle truck is going by as a man is bringing in the groceries (incorrectly his wife adds) and next thing he goes tearing off after the truck. By the end of the commercial everyone is tearing off after the truck. I particularly like the part where the Red Bull truck gets out of the Full Throttle Trucks way by hanging a quick right… Fairly Funny…
I feel kind of sorry for the SeaHawks… The stealers may as well be playing at home with the number of terrible towels being waved…
Final pre game update…
The Star Spangle Banner does not sound good when sung in the gospel style….
