Kevin O’Brien The best argument against White Supremacy… … is the White Supremacists. Consider this lovely couple, who make Trayvon Martin look like the saint that TV news viewers think he is: White Supremacist I: Peggy Sinclair. While this image came from the cops REAL LARGE, we suggest you don’t embiggenate. She ain’t any prettier up close. …
Fascinating project at GunLab and Weaponeer This (embiggenable) image of a VG 1-5 (original) came from a Weaponeer thread linked in the story. There are projects and there are projects. This one deserves the italics. Chuck Kramer is an 07 FFL (that’s a manufacturer) and 02 SOT (special occupational taxpayer, means he can make NFA stuff). …
We round up lawyers on the Obama NFA Trust NPRM The bottom line appears to be that it undermines and complicates (but does not ban) NFA trusts. “Why do I care?” you may ask. “I don’t have an NFA trust, or an NFA gun, even.” Here’s why you ought to care: you may want one of these …
Mags with a Message: Noveske Johnny Mag This is a rifle that AR aficionados will recognize: it’s a Noveske. John Noveske built a company that builds some of the most out-of-the ordinary “ordinary ARs” that there are. The Noveske ARs are evolutionary more than revolutionary, but they’re built to a very high quality standard. The …
The word most used describing Back to 1942 is “epic,” and that it surely is. Its entertainment value is limited, though, by the sheer misery of the tale it tells, a tale of grinding, unrelieved suffering. It is a Chinese film with a predominantly Chinese cast; western actors like Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins are cast in …
In the last TW3 we got up, for Week 33, we wrote that we’re “so far behind that whole bunches of Matinees and TW3s are not up yet.” That hasn’t changed but we did get the TW3 up this week, more or less on time (you’re reading it, right?) and, will wonders never cease, we not only …
You think you know what “police” are? You think you have a handle on “fishing?” Welcome to Afghanistan. The incident took place last Friday in the Doshi district of the northern province of Baghlan when policemen on the bank of a river fired a rocket-propelled grenade into the water. “The rocket went astray and hit …
Heartless humorist P.J. O’Rourke reimagines Kennedy’s stirring inaugural address in a contemporary setting, as part of a cruel mockery of our rudderless but belligerent Chief Executive: Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill—and since we’re not engaged in nation-building, every nation should wish us well—that we shall pay any price if …
…and table legs, apparently. This story from Georgia shocks the conscience. We are from a generation in which a corrective was sometimes applied to a child with a belt. Indeed, we took our licks, and usually deserved ’em. But this kid was injured by a beating delivered by an apparently unrelated adult man — but …
In the early days of semi- and automatic weapons, one very common locking mechanism was a toggle lock. This lock works like a human knee joint: it would bend freely once bent, but when “straight” it was over-center and pressure on the “bolt face” (or sole of the foot) just locked it more firmly. This …
