Alcohol Culture or Driving Culture?

What will Bob Costas choose to blame for this NFL death? Hell, he will blame guns, who am I kidding.

So this is where crazy cat ladies come from

Some parasite that lives in cats can be transmitted to humans. Yay.

I joked about this

I missed slightly. I figured the DJs would wake up dead, not the nurse who answered the phone and transferred the call to the duchess.

Sweet

I just built an AR lower without referring to instructions. And it works.

Perfect timing

We were watching The Dark Knight Rises last night. At the moment Bane hit the detonator in the stadium, my cell chirped for full charge.
I was struck by how much most of the fair share crap Bane used as propaganda sounds exactly like Obama singling out TEH RICH for MOAR taxes. No wonder the movie came out on Bluray after the election...

If you criminalize carry

Only criminals will carry guns. Oh, and Illinois politicians who can write themselves loopholes. Illinois needs to close the politician loophole!

All these sportswriters have mice in their pockets

When they say "we" have a problem with "gun culture." "I" would be more descriptive. But then they sound selfish, trying to disarm everyone for the actions of a few. The fill in for Jim Rome today sounded like he was reading right off of the Brady Bunch's homepage, for example. Turned that crap off.

Sunday range trip

Took the 6.8 out for a few shots on Sunday. Nothing major; 350 reloads of various grains. I've it said before, if I don't shoot for whatever reason, I still reload a few more. Had to buy some more ammo boxes this time. Also ran some .223 reloads through Fugly. I am convinced it works much better with a commercial bolt carrier vs a mil-spec (m-16) carrier. Or my M-16 carrier sucks. Or I need an XM177 moderator....wait, that would be 2 stamps in one....

 I actually tried on this target-the corners are 110 grain Prohunters that I loaded in a ladder. The best groups were the lowest and second highest loads. There is a "but" I will get to later. Like a dumbass, I spilled the box of reloads after the first time through. So that batch turned into blasting ammo. Guess I could have brought it home and weighed them. Nah....

 The center was 130 grain of some type. I don't have a picture of the 120 grain Hornaday SSTs- I loaded them hot and they hit about 3" above the center of the targets. Ok, I do have pics, but they are of 25+ round groups. Not very informative.

Last of the zombie chick targets:

Zombie bacon:

I mentioned a "but" earlier. I was not shooting off my normal rest. Other people were using them, so I was shooting my ARs off a crappy sandbag and 2 loose 2x4s. Yeah, might be time to get/make a proper rest. It was funny, watching one of them resting the barrel directly on the 2x4s. Um, you have a bolt gun that is free floated.... ah, never mind. Says the guy shooting a non-free floated AR :)

All targets 50 yards, irons or cheap red dot. 1395 rounds since early October on the 6.8. Put 90 through Fugly, including some Fiocchi 40 grain v-max. Shoot that, then shoot 140 grain from a 6.8 back to back. The latter does not feel like a poodle shooter.

Soon to come- case annealing.

Random Blocking of Offensive Websites

For some reason, my T-Mobile account decided to turn some form of safe search back on* yesterday. For a few hours, then went away. It was strange where it would let me go to. For example, it blocked Tam's blog, but not /b/. I decided to check exactly what the goofy thing blocks.

I can't believe I could visit my own blog. I fail most of the list. I've discussed guns, ammunition, weapons, gambling, tobacco, violence, alcohol, and drugs. Suicide probably counts from yesterday, too. Guess I need to get on the rest.


*I turned that off the day I got the phone.

This is a good FU to Bob Costas

A blogger/ commentator(?) at Ace of Spades has her take on the gun grabbing stupidity of Bob Costas and Jason Whitlock. I love the blog name, BTW.

I turned off the TV early last night

Mostly because I was tired and bored with the game- I couldn't care less about the teams playing. Turns out, I missed a damn good reason to turn it off. Besides Chris Colinsworth jumping to the defense of every crappy receiver that has ever played the game.

How sweet- now SWATting is a problem

Doesn't matter when SWATting happens to conservative bloggers. But now that it is being pulled on those icons of American democracy like Justin Beiber or Simon Cowell, now it is dangerous.
