  • Expectations…

    It could be worse, anticipation… One of the issues that we have in the Second Amendment community, is that infringers cluster. Nobody in Texas is passing bills like Illinois’ PICA, but California and New York did. These cases get challenged and then flow up the court system to the circuit courts. When the case finally…

  • Nurding Out, Computer Science

    I’ve been working with computers since July 5th, 1976. On that day, I walked into a computer store, the first in the state, and asked for a chance to work with computers. The owner sat me down at a PolySci z80 computer, loaded BASIC on to it from cassette tape, then told me to have…

  • Did the ATF Change Form 4473 after 2012?

    It depends on what your definition of “is” is. To quote a Democrat. The ATF has not changed the contents of form 4473. The same questions, the same information, the same warnings are there in the 2023 revision as were in the 2012 revision. But since I’m not stupid, I can look and see that…

  • Isn’t Form 4473 Unconstitutional?

    In , the Supreme Court found that the BATFE had exceeded their authority in changing the definition of “machinegun”. The ATF argued that they were just interpreting the law that congress had passed. This is in keeping with our governmental forms. The three branches of the government are the legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative…

  • Cargill v. Garland, what does it mean?

    This is “the bump stock” ban case. It has been kicking around for a while. In October 2017, there was a mass casuality event in Las Vagas, Nevada. 58 people were killed and over 500 were wounded. When the police breached the room they believed the shots were coming from, they found a corpse, IIRC.…

  • Garland v. Cargill

    Congress has long restricted access to “‘machinegun[s],’” a category of firearms defined by the ability to “shoot, automatically more than one shot … by a single function of the trigger.” 26 U. S. C. §5845(b); see also 18 U. S. C. §922(o). Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are…

  • Hot Bluing and Nearing Completion of Project

    Yesterday, I finished the machining on the toolholder bodies. I need to make 5 adjustment nuts to complete the project. This means there are four toolholders that are good to go, as is. Comedy of Errors I do not think there is a single toolholder that is 100% right. There is the one where the…

  • Matter of Law

    matter of law A matter of law, or question of law, is a determination of the applicable law as opposed to a matter of fact. Matter of law is seen in judgments as a matter of law where a judge makes a decision applying the relevant laws to irrefutable evidence. Consider the “fruit of the…
