So, I guess everyone knows this:

The article seems to credit some new hotshot at the Bureau who streamlined the system. The article claims to explain HOW they did it. My question is WHY?

If they do something non-nefarious it makes me suspicious. (Have they ever done something non-nefarious?) I have my suspicions: Did they allow the system to speed up because if you can get the stamp quickly, you’ll be less likely to push for removal of the entire NFA? Is it because it creates an electronic “presence” in their databases? (Obviously 4473 is paper and stays at the FFL.) Is it to encourage more people to apply, thus netting them more $200 stamp fees? Is it something else subversive? Or is it truly that the new guy had an idea and they let him do it?

Watching Beverly Hills Cop has reignited my desire for a Hi Power and I’m wondering if I’m smoking crack for wanting one……and then if I can get extended magazines as flush fit magazines are hard to remove with my limited left hand dexterity 

Sigh…….found this & now the marbles are clanking in my head…trying to figure out the budget 🫣🫣🫣🫣

Ordered a pound of the world famous taffy for 4th of July and to see what the wife thinks without telling her 😳😳😱😱😱

It came yesterday while I was napping & she opened the box…..and for someone who does not like traditional salt water taffy…..almost 1/4 of the box was gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We eat very little candy, I love a taffy place up in Estes Park but almost never make the 90 min drive….and now with tourist season in full bloom, it’s more like a 120 min drive…..

Just ordered another pound of this stuff 🤪🤪

Had a shipment of New School American Cheese ordered to be delivered 2 July for burgers on the 4th as it’s by far the best cheese I’ve had in years on a good old fashioned cheese burger 

It’s still sitting in Memphis & tracking says delayed & delivery by 9pm today 

Hopefully the cheese won’t go bad & will stay cool….flipping 2 day shipping was expensive and if the cheese is bad……..

Has come to town & wooooo weeeeeim in love with a large nitro cold brew with a soft top..

Only has 100 calories from the soft top and goes wonderful with a bacon & sausage breakfast burrito smothered in green chili…

Guess since it’s 0340 I’ll wake the wife up at 0530 and go get a coffee and burrito 🤣🤣🤣

Was flicking thru Netflix & stumbled across Beverly Hills Axel F and was like Ummmmmm say what…..

Loved Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley……and have always wanted a High Power but have never gotten one….

The movie is really good without any of the common woke in your face bullshit and has a great cast paying homage to the earlier movies 

And now I’m watching the first 3 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see some recipes with and some without tomatos.  I'm finally getting around to making it and tomato sounds good but I'm not sure.
This is the first time I've peeled shrimp.  What a pita, crawdads are a lot easier to peel!
