Seems like a positive growth trend. Click for larger picture. These statistics represent the number of firearm background checks initiated through the NICS. They do not represent the number of firearms sold. Based on varying state laws and purchase scenarios, a one-to-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale.

You don’t have to look very far to read multiple breathless accounts of the return of ammunition shortages at retail outlets. I’m not seeing that right now. It is true that the available distributor stock fell dramatically during the last 69 days: But this appears to be only but a recent adjustment following a spike [...]

Nuke Time: Phase II
Category: Admin Notes, Ingenuity | Comments Off
Uh, Oh: The OS nuking didn’t help. Laptop runs an hour, then it’s, “Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights.” Perhaps it’s heat related? I guess I’ll have to delve into its innards to see if it has fur balls in need of extraction. Update: Disassembled laptop. Fired up the compressor and blew out a cloud [...]

After a couple of years, multiple program installations, several printer configurations and the inadvertent glitches that occur over time, Windows computers seem to reach a point where the Windows operating system can benefit from only one thing: Nuking the OS.

Category: Gun Stuff | 8 Comments

A 168 Grain .308 round would cost $11.70 (plus casing, propellant and primer). In addition, the melting point of silver 960+C is about three times [...]
