    Are Unintended Consequences crime facts still current?

    I was mostly fishing for NFA 1934 minor Federal charges. Here is a handy chart. Clubs used more than rifles. Sorry, it did not paste well. The line with rifles is years 2013 to 2017. Must click on link to see it in full table mode. Expanded Homicide Data Table 8 Murder Victims by Weapon...

    Are Unintended Consequences crime facts still current?

    The 1995 era facts claimed were about 6,000 people were in prison for BS charges like a car fender washer, sitting inside the car toolbox, was a part of a person's suppressor repair kit and not declared. Pardon me if I did not quote it correctly. How many people are now in prison for too short...

    What is the time from a muskets flash pan firing until the ball travels 30 yards?

    Not the best tactic; a volley had balls that would go way high, and ones the went low, and some bounced. Indeed, artillery practice of the day was to aim deliberately low and skip them into the line. When I was learning machineguns, this was still taught. Bullets can skip up but over their...

    What is the time from a muskets flash pan firing until the ball travels 30 yards?

    Watching Outlander now. I saw a movie where the Indians stand to face the Redcoats on a woods road in the French and Indians war, A few arrows are loosed. When the Redcoats form up then fire en masse, the Indian all dropdown avoiding the balls. Can this work?

    Has anyone had a hunting camp where the guests obeyed the rules?

    I had many friends who would bring a 1.75Liter bottle of booze and leave the bottle with about half. Then my old friend Matt brought a half liter of Canadain Club on a Friday. It was an on purpose leave no little bit left. On the last night, he had drank it up and expected me to give him some...

    Has anyone had a hunting camp where the guests obeyed the rules?

    Speaking of on a well, I lost power in the daytime. I then turned my refrigerator to off. As expected, as soon as power was restored, everyone on the circuit's (about 100 users) well pumps called for power. I left one light on. When the light came on, I measured the voltage at 109 volts...

    Your tax dollars at work: Gun Violence: A Biopsychosocial Disease

    There are three members I would like to thank for their submissions and continue their message. Obama certainly tried to weaponize many things like IRS, FBI and health care for starters. I was following the DEA vs the FDA on pain meds. The fight went on a decade with FDA trying not to...

    Has anyone had a hunting camp where the guests obeyed the rules?

    All of these issues are what I now know as the "Normalcy bias". Thinking back on it, this was 1990, people were not staring at iPhones yet. While the house had power, there was no phone for several years. Now I would call this "the normalcy basis." I had this happen to me in 1965. My Dad...

    Has anyone had a hunting camp where the guests obeyed the rules?

    You hit the nail on the head but some things got worse. This was the problem. I had Humprey Lamps for cooler evenings and an LP fridge and freezer. I will add more as needed.

    Has anyone had a hunting camp where the guests obeyed the rules?

    I bought this in 1990 and lived off-grid until I sold this land in Wisc. in 1999. The new owners were horrified by the property taxes, they got a demolition permit and tore the house down to save taxes. I had a barn built to look like it. That is still there turned into living quarters...
