For some reason, an outfit called News2Share sent me links to a video and pictures from the Code Pink protest in front f the NRA HQ.  I guess the name of the blog misdirect them a tad.

Code were used by the Libs going after President Bush for the Iraqi war and then discarded after their 15 minutes of Television Glory had passed. But for some reason, they keep trying to get on the good side of the people who treated them like used toilet paper. Sort of Battered-Wife syndrome, I guess.

And on the other side of the same event, we have a nice selection of carry weapon:

The classics never go out of style!

Channel 2 Action News has learned that the Atlanta Police Department is investigating the suspected theft of as many as 30 handguns from Atlanta Public Schools. The actual police work for APS has been done for decades by the Atlanta Police Department, but the school district has its own security director. And it turns out, the district purchased a small arsenal of expensive semi-automatic pistols. Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Richard Belcher learned investigators are asking what happened to a lot of those weapons. Sources inside and outside of APS say as many as 30 handguns are missing. They are .40 caliber Glock semi-automatics. They retail for about $450 each, so the missing weapons would be worth as much as $12,000 to $15,000. The Atlanta Police Department says someone called in an anonymous tip to APS about some guns that were stolen.

Maybe APD had its own version of Operation Fast and Furious going? Will those weapons appear at crime scenes? Have they appeared at crime scenes but we don’t know it?

“This is beyond comedy now.”

This was the attached comment from Robert The K. A.K.A Suburban Sheepdog when he posted this link in Facebook. But this is past comedy and dives right into insulting the American people. Her own FBI has collected a substantial amount of evidence to the contrary, but somehow she seems to ignore it and come up with her own twisted version of reality.

To basically deny this was an act of terrorism because of political correct niceties is scary beyond relief. It means she will be inclined to assign people the badge of terrorist for political correct niceties…

…and that can get really expensive down the road.

Hello there. Finally getting to the finishing part of this project. Been getting life out of the way lately.

After sanding the parts surface down to a 1000 grit finish its on to the buffing.  This is my 1 HP floor buffer. it spins at 1850 rpm. Anything above 2200rpm you will have difficultys, it will melt the compounds and embed them in your work,makes a mess too. I use 8 or 10 inch buff wheels. This one is a spiral sewn one. It is medium hard. I use emory compound which is black on this one and is course. On steel it does a remarkable job as you can see here. Sorry I dont have any buffing photos, had no one to take pictures.Now we move on to cleaning with degreasers  at 140 degrees and soap with a distilled water rinse. Once it is clean,on to nickeling. A good quick clean test is dip the part in water and pull it out. If the water runs right off its clean. If the water rolls around an area, that area is not clean. I will have more on this soon.Next pic is ready to drop in nickel tankPic6 The colored plugs are in all the holes in this receiver because we dont want to fill the holes with plating as then the pins wont fit and you will chip the plating.This is my nickel tank. It get heated to 130-140 degrees,has air agitation,comes from the pvc pipe which goes back to a big blower that uses filtered air. Small tank next to it is the nickel rinse tank. Receiver went in for 1 hour and came out like thisNow this gets CAREFULLY washed as you can scratch it. then it is ready for black chrome. Black chrome is just that,black but the nickel shine through it.Chrome gets its shine from the nickel under it, the chrome top coat is like a clear coat over a basecoat paint job. It protects the nickel from the world. I will have more projects soon guys. I appologize  for the delay. Any questions,comments send them in.

Republicans and Democrats are split far apart on abortion and gun laws in general. The funny thing is that Democrats don’t care about polls that disfavor them, but will immediately take to referring to polls that disfavor Republicans. With the 4 gun control measures blocked yesterday, USAToday says that:

“Democrats say the GOP is out of step with the American people, pointing to polls that show a majority want stricter gun laws. An NBC News/Survey Monkey online poll conducted after the Orlando massacre last week found 61% of those surveyed support stricter gun laws; 38% opposed them. The survey also found 60% support a ban on “assault weapons” and 38% oppose it.”

So just because some survey determined stricter gun laws are favorable, we should enact laws that reflect it? There is a lack of process there. Surveys can be inaccurate, but more importantly they do not have the power to destroy the second amendment. By that, I mean that some of the stricter laws suggested are moderately to extremely infringing on our right to bear arms. One such proposal was the Feinstein proposal which was blocked. I know that there are many laws that we- those of us in the firearms community- feel as if our rights are already being infringed upon. But for people to suggest that lawmakers should follow knee-jerk reactions and surveys taken on emotion, and for those people to ignore the right that they do not wish to use is not a clean way to go. Miguel pointed out that gun control people should heed the due process of our rights because they would then sound more reasonable. It would force them to carefully consider what laws they want put in place.

And what does this have to do with abortions? Well, according to CNN polling: “58 percent of Americans oppose all or virtually all abortions” and “only 40 percent of Americans generally favor legalized abortion in most instances.” The article also pulls polls from previous years were the percentage against abortions is in the 60’s. So does this mean to Democrats that anti-abortion laws need to be instantly put in place? Absolutely not. Polls are just estimates to try find out what the percentage of the population agrees or disagrees with. Those who support legal abortions, at least in most cases, point to the ninth and fourteenth amendment. Those are the two amendments that were largely used to decide Roe V. Wade. The ruling under Roe left it so that abortions are legal and laws relating to abortion should be under the standard of strict scrutiny.

So when a poll’s majority says gun laws need to be stricter, Democrats support a democracy and mob rule. However, when poll’s majority say abortions should only be done under strict circumstances, Democrats favor our Constitutional Republic.

On a side note, I absolutely hate the Republican/Democrat splitting on situations purely based on party lines. The two party system is crap, and instead of ideologies, people are choosing to align with an entire party’s ideology when voting. So, I don’t like to just say sweeping things like “Democrats do [insert bad things]”, but in this case of gun and abortion laws I did so because the situation has been a party-line split historically.

After a Monday like we had and a rest of the week promising a full dose of whining, we need something to relax. I love Michael Keaton, specially in a couple of movies that did not get the kudos of the critics or were wildly successful at the box office.

One Good Cop is the Police/Tearjerker you can get you significant other to watch  and both be satisfied. Chasing bad cops and taking care of orphaned kids? Brilliant!

The Paper is one of those big cast movies that also did not get traction but is so much fun to watch. Keaton rips through the movie like a possesed soul trying to balance a bunch of nutcases working in a tabloid while trying to beat the competition.

Add them to your list of Must Watch.

PS: Keaton has been selected for the role of Stan Hurley. Some of you will get the reference.

And we welcome Regular Guys Guns to the blog world…that is supposed to be dead somehow but still moves.  Apparently I inspired him to do his own…mostly around the lines of “If that moron can write a blog, I am Shakespeare.”

Lord knows we need more voices defending our Rights.

So go check them out. And, of course, abuse them in good fun.
