I see a Fox News poll that has Mamdani leading by 18 points. What lunacy! I predict an exodus by those that have the means, you know, the producers. I wonder how long it'll be before houses there will be able to be purchased for $100 like Detroit?
A few days after we lost Pumpkinhead we had to take Houdini into the vet. She’s the one we almost lost last year. She has: 1. Chronic Enteropathy & 2. Hepatic Lipidosis (Suspected). It’s been under good control up to now. She got worse and they’re not sure what’s causing it. They gave her some more meds and she’s doing better but not 100% yet. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re going to have to take our big tabby Pumpkin to the vet asap! He’s not eaten in 2 days, he’s not as active as normal and we haven’t seen him poop. We think he may have an intestinal blockage. I’m waiting to hear back from the vet as to when she can see him.
Houdini:
Flash is the one we lost to a bad reaction to sedation last year.
[FPC News] FPC Fights Trump DOJ Scheme to Maintain Unconstitutional Gun Control Laws

Some of this stuff is used and some is new / unused. The holster, reloading stuff, bipod and Warne scope rings are new / unused. Ignore the price tags on the reloading stuff. Those have been on my gun show table.
The rest of the stuff I got from a friend who is planning to move to Portugal.
I’m asking $35.00 plus shipping. If you want it, PM me your address and I’ll get you the shipping quote.
Due to this final price drop, the items in the following picture will no longer be included:
All other items shown in the original pictures will be. I may toss in a few other items I might find under my bench.
I got a notification today that was just a "Hey, watch this, it changes everything". So, I went and watched it and I have to say I am impressed, even though the People's Republic of Illinois has banned the sale of "assault weapons" and it isn't available to me. What they have done is found a loophole in the NFA where a rifle is defined as "
"a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger, and shall include any such weapon which may be readily restored to fire a fixed cartridge."
Franklin filed a lawsuit against ATF when they ruled the product they had come up with was a "rifle" and since the barrel was shorter than 16" it was a short barrel rifle. The first case upheld the ATF ruling but the appeal the judge ruled against ATF which lead to a settlement. So, why is it not a rifle? Because it wasn't designed to fire a single projectile only, it is designed to fire multiple projectiles. The multiple projectiles are in the form of a "bullet" which is made of plastic and houses several smaller projectiles. When it goes through the barrel, the plastic breaks open and releases the multiple projectiles.
They have done the same thing with "shotgun" because the definition of a shotgun "a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of projectiles (ball shot) or a single projectile for each pull of the trigger, and shall include any such weapon which may be readily restored to fire a fixed shotgun shell."
A shotgun has to have a smooth bore. They added straight rifling, it is no longer a shotgun and since it was meant to fire more than a single projectile with each shot, it can't be a rifle either. c
I have to admit, holding ATF to the plain language meaning of their laws is working out pretty well. But if the democrats ever get control they will change both the NFA and GCA to outlaw this.
