Gotta hand it to ’em, this aircraft is substantially badass.

Some series get cancelled on a cliffhanger. Such is the case here, where a road rage incident has a guy with a (very crappy, almost certainly fake) sword try to intimidate another guy… who seems wholly unimpressed and pulls a rifle from his trunk.
Road rage hierarchy – The sword is more mighty than the fist, but then there’s the AK15… from PublicFreakout
I get a serious Antifa vibe from the “swordsman.”

So a know-nothing journalist set out to research and write a hit piece on the concept of “ghost guns” by taking an 80% kit and finishing it to a functional firearm. The idea seemed to be to show just how easy it is for criminal types to get a gun that the law says they shouldn’t have. Two problems, though: first, the job turned out to be far harder than the journalist had expected. Second problem: the journalist set out to obey all the law in his quest to make a “ghost gun,” but in the process he seems to have unintentionally broken a truckload of laws. Thing is, these are dumb California laws, the sort of laws that clearly exist solely to trap regular folks. The kind of laws that exist solely to dissuade people from exercising their basic rights. But will *this* guy get charged? After all, he has the right politics.
How easy is it to build a ghost gun? We asked our reporter to find out
A video was put together to explain what laws the journalist broke. Takes more than twenty minutes to go through it. Strictly speaking this guy is far more of a lawbreaker that Rittenhouse ever dreamed of being.

How is it that people can be *this* friggen’ stupid? It’s like he’s trying to throw his own case. And that may be the case… the prosecution of Rittenhouse has been so inept that a mistrial might be the only chance these yahoos have to assure that their show trial gets the result they want.

As many have pointed out, by pointing a firearm at people, Binger should have been mobbed by the people int he courtroom. he lost the right to defend himself the moment he drew down on the jury.

America’s gun infatuation is a threat. The Supreme Court could make it worse.
Behold!
I was one of 30 former national security officials to sign on to an amicus brief arguing that unrestricted access to concealable firearms poses a great threat to public safety. If states like New York are unable to restrict who may carry a concealed weapon, we will be at greater risk of gun violence, threats from foreign and domestic terrorism and political extremism.
Because current laws against concealed carry are stopping terrorists? Really? Someone who wants to carry out a political assassination will be dissuaded because he can’t get a concealed carry license, or because a place where he wants to shoot somebody has a sign on the door saying “no guns?”
The author is probably not actually so stupid as to believe what she’s saying. But she probably believes that a lot of the American public *are* that dumb. If you are on the political left or on the side of gun control… just bear in mind that people like this think you are a ᚠᚢᚳkᛁᚾᚷ moron, willing and able to believe the most patently stupid arguments imaginable. People like this use not only fearmongering, but fearmongering based on falsehoods and an utter lack of logic. They should be spurned and mocked.

Love to see the prosecutions main witness in a show trial blow the narrative straight to hell:

“Boop on the snoot” is not the phrase I would have immediately dreamed up to describe “getting shot in the face with 12 gauge 00 buckshot,” but, hey, it’s catchy. Like the guy’s face. See, it caught buckshot.
What I don’t get are all the civilians milling about when the cops pour in, shouting “everybody get down.” And they just stand there like pillocks.

Below is a somewhat rambling video by a YouTuber who focuses on comic books. He makes, eventually, what I think is an interesting point. He realized that a *lot* of British authors seem fascinated with magic and wizards and sorcerers and the like, putting magic into stories in somewhat the way Americans might put guns into a story. The YouTubers hypothesis is that this is because magic is to the British “creation myth” like what guns are to the American “creation myth.” Of course, America’s creation is hardly mythical, since records keeping was fairly reliable at the time… but guns were as important tot he Revolution as Merlin was to Arthur. There are, as he also points out, distinctly American “myths” such as Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed… and as he also points out, nobody much cares. Paul Bunyan chopping down trees hardly stacks up with that time George Washington routed the entire British army with a small number of Dodge Chargers.
Of course, with changes in British educational/government policies, British “creation myths” and other cultural tales will be largely unknown to British children within decade, if not sooner.

Noted Social Justice maniac Alec Baldwin has killed someone:
It would hardly be the first time that an actor has shot dead someone on the set of a movie using what was supposed to be a prop gun; see the death of Brandon Lee for the most famous example. But in that case, the fault was very clearly with the ordnance folks/prop masters who failed to properly clear a firearm. Something quite like that may have happened here, with either an actual live round installed instead of a blank, or a pistol with a projectile jammed in the barrel was loaded with a blank (which is what happened to Lee). But in tis case, with the exceedingly limited info available so far, it seems that the actor himself has some culpability. Because while it might be his job to point a prop gun at another actor and pull the trigger, here he shot a director. This would *seem* to indicate that he was either careless or screwing around… or acting in a threatening manner 9given his vaunted temper…). Another possibility is that the gun was loaded with nothing but blanks, which are usually harmless at a range of more than a few yards… but deadly if fired within a few inches. And if 8that’s* the case, there’ll be some ‘splainin’ to do as to why he was pointing a gun, prop or otherwise, at a human a very short distance away.

Almost four years ago I posted about a project known as “Flashback,” a vaguely-described mid 1960’s program to carry and drop a giant *something* from a B-52. What it was, exactly, was not described with any clarity, but there were enough clues that I tentatively speculated that it was a design for an American “Tsar Bomb” with a yield of fifty or more megatons. To my knowledge I was the first person to yap about it publicly. I sent what I’d found to a few atomic and aerospace researchers to see if they knew anything. At the time, they were as mystified as I was.
Today there’s less mystery. I was contacted by one of the researchers I had contacted back then, letting me know he’s writing an article to appear in a month or so in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, covering Flashback among other things. He has Found Some Stuff. In short… Flashback was a design for a 50 to 100 megaton hydrogen bomb.
Giggitty.
