ReconRat

Once after work, going home. It wasn't bad, but definitely time to be someplace else. Four or more times have gone out when there was still ice or snow on some roads. It's a wonderful feeling when the temperatures zoom up to 70F for the day, and you can still see frozen ponds along side the road.

Stage Two: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has announced he will propose a bill to “nullify” any of President Obama’s executive orders on gun control that give the appearance that the president is writing new legislation. Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act 2013 (not found yet) Also found this from Texas:H.R. 410: To provide that any executive action infringing on the Second Amendment has no force or effect, and to prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes.

This link from that same webpage: introduced in Missouri: (absolutely no chance of passing) Attn. Missouri Gun Owners: Please Report to the Principal’s Office Not a bad idea, securing firearms. But not really the job of the school to register, collate, coordinate or enforce.

I think I'd avoid NLRB for a while. All their decisions of the past year were just potentially nullified due to the reversal of the executive order that set their administration. All decisions will be in question and probably contested. They say will continue business as usual, but I think they will be a little busy with damage control. edit: Not to mention a current congressional investigation into NLRB bias in decision making. Which isn't going well for them.

Yeah, I noticed the bit about the grip. I'm waiting for the official release. Everything I've looked at so far, each has different wording. Apparently it's constantly edited.

No problem, just pass an executive order reversing the DC court decision... Just kidding, not likely to happen. Nor is it likely to proceed to the supreme court. The DC district court's decision was unanimous. Both left and right leaning parts of the non partisan court agreed. It's not likely that the supreme court would reverse that.

wow, The Atlantic actually quoted verse: Which is King James 7th Psalm14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. The Atlantic article contains the history behind all of this. Boston Herald

To confirm, here's an official government source (PDF): http://benishek.house.gov/sites/benishek.house.gov/files/documents/Benishek_LettertoPresidentObama_SecondAmendment_FINAL2.pdf 77 of 535 Congressmen/women had the guts to do that.

Strange, Feinstein AWB has pretty much dropped out of the news already. Not headlines in many places, except maybe on CNN politics webpage. Seems to be more interest in the Obama vs Reid coming up.

update jan24, 2013; Added new S54, S34, HR40 & HR404. Feinstein bill available soon. Introduced in Senate Jan24. edit: Added Feinstein AWB S150, but no text available yet. Slightly less than average change of getting out of Senate committee.

It's the humidity... Actually, Phoenix planted green parks all over the city to reduce violence and crime. It actually worked. It lowered the street level temperature.

Wait, you mean something like an offer of citizenship for serving in armed forces? Of course, that's worked well for many years. Lots of countries do that.

That pilot also got FAA on his butt. They saw this youtube video.

Quit sending them food as response to blackmail threats.

Absolutely. I shouldn't have forgotten that one. Also:

Would like to see this. Might be there. Repost, but it reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHPOw-Xmm4o

Good grief, I remember doing that with M16s. Do troops still do that? Can they even do that with a newer model rifle? (And if the rifles fell over we were in serious deep shit.)
