    Brady "State Grades" vs. Violent Crime

    I've just finished making a spreadsheet comparing the new 04-05 violent crime statistics (http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_04.html) with Brady's state letter grades for 2005. TFL won't let me upload an excel file, so you'll have to email me for the full version. Here's a summary though...

    Firearms Montage with a High Speed Camera

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8wtFskEWg The link is for a really cool montage of footage from high speed cameras, taken of firearms and targets. It's also synced up to some music which captures the moment very nicely (IMO). Cheers, Wolfe... (*Drools at their framerate.*)

    "Google Bombing" the Right?

    (Link here.) IMO, this article goes hand-in hand with this thread. It was bad enough when smear campaigns were on TV and radio, but Google bombing to influence the results people get when they search for politicians is just wrong. It takes one of the few ways to get mostly unbiased information...

    Here's a candidate I'd vote for.

    I found what's probably the most interesting candidate around. Even though he seems fairly gimmicky, I'd probably vote for him pretty quick: http://www.jameshillforcongress.com/index.php To keep it gun-related, here's something to show his opinion on guns. It also shows his opinion on gays --...

    Weird things the day after shooting...

    Ok, so this is from a few months back, but it got me thinking... A few months ago, I did some shooting over the weekend... On Monday, it was back to school for more boreducational stuff. I didn't really notice untill the end of the day, walking to the bus on concrete... But my shoe was making a...

    Unwillingly signed up for ASVAB.

    Hey guys. I know this is slightly OT (I'll understand if it's locked), but it's kinda urgent. I need a quick response from anyone up-to-date on military testing and enlistment proceedures. --- Background --- Today, I got home from school and my mom told me my school counselor called. The...

    It's the blue one, right?

    I'm gonna re-assemble my 10/22 tomorrow, and I plan on loctiting the scope mount screws to keep it from rattling loose after a brick... My dad said I wanna use blue if I'll ever take it off again, and I trust him, but I forgot to ask if it'll have any problems with the aluminum reciever (say...

    My new website...

    Ok, not quite new... But yeah. Did this roughly two months ago for a school project (web design). Didn't want to go public with it untill the teacher had a chance to grade it BEFORE I ran out of bandwidth... ;) It's a general site on firearms, definately just a first draft for something yet to...

    Heads up: Tonight, 8:00PM ET/PT, History Channel... Mail Call's doing an episode about the Knob Creek gun range. Presumably there'll be a fair bit of shooting footage. :D Wolfe... (Who wishes he could be there instead of watching it on TV.)

    Monitoring of US Citizens, again...

    Man, this gives me the jibblies... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9939709/ Personally, I'm most disgusted by the idea of not telling people they were investigated after the fact, and by not destroying records obtained after innocence is proven. :barf: Wolfe... (Who's never committed a crime, but...

    10/22 Reliability...

    Howdy. I semi-recently purchased a bolt buffer and auto-bolt-release from WeaponKraft, and when I got a chance to test, my 10/22 was less reliable than in the past. Previously, I had about 1 in 50 rounds jam, now it's down to 1 in 10... Most jams are caused by a single fired casing ejecting...
