Gun laws and control

[Zzzptm]

Colt has stopped selling AR-15 rifles to civilians. For those that aren't aware, Colt owns the trademark for AR15 and AR-15. I guess they don't own AR 15 lol. Anyway, the timing is interesting even though it is strictly a financial move.

"Is very good boomstick, I get you AR_15."

"Yes, but is it an AR-15?"

"Underscore, hyphen, what is difference? I sell you very good boomstick, also sell you AR/15, if you like!"

Personally, I'm not buying one until they release an AR!15.

William Shatner blasts cops for drawing guns on scared female ‘Star Wars’ Stormtrooper

I don't know why neighbors were worried, everybody knows a stormtrooper can't hit the broadside of a barn at 10 feet with their laser guns.

On a serious note, that kind of thing happens all too often (sans the star wars costume). A bit of common sense would go a long way towards making them non-events. I'm glad she didn't get shot to death.

Saw Bill post this on facebook a while back...horrible thing....

I do kind of understand that overreaction as there had just been a mass shooting and they might have thought that someone might be using a "clever" disguise...but come on...

Doesn’t look to be a lot in that. Video doesn’t look half as bad as the article makes out.

Also, I’m sure the Canadian police would’ve still been very much on edge after the mass shooting the week before.

^^^^^^
Doesn't look that bad unless you are the one being put in handcuffs.  Once the cops recognized it was a toy gun, they could have inquired as to what her purpose there was.  Of course this would have required them to do some actual thinking on their feet.  Pretty foolish behavior by the police.

[Jack the Stripper]

Nah, it’s not as if she was thrown to the ground head pushed hard onto the concrete with arm twisted up her back. And as I mentioned, those cops would’ve been highly on edge with what had happened a few days earlier. Besides, if adults wanna dress up like little kiddies in public and pretend they’re running around in a movie they probably deserve a little clip every now & then.

I'm sitting out in my shop (well, part of my garage with shop stuff in it). I have the garage door open, it's about 70 degrees F with a slight cool breeze. It's cloudy, the birds are chirping, a woodpecker is pecking on a tree about 50 yards from my garage, and off in the distance there's a dog barking.

In general, a very relaxed day.

Within the context of this environment, I have decided to tighten down on a gun control issue at my home. I have a 1911 platform .45, and I've decided to change the grips on it. My hope is that these new grips will add slightly to my ability to reacquire a target faster and thus give me more control over my gun. We'll see if my gun control efforts produce the actual results I'm seeking, or if it's merely a waste of my time and money.

   She was an employee of the Coco Vanilla Galactic Cantina who asked her to do this to help promote business in these tough times.  She was doing her job.

That was tongue in cheek but I still don’t blame the cops though.
