    Opinion piece from Dr. John Lott in the Wall Street Journal

    It has been said that if you do not know why the Electoral College exists, then you are the reason why.

    Opinion piece from Dr. John Lott in the Wall Street Journal

    Um, sorry but the survey you linked to is completely bogus. Who performed said "survey"? Why none other than the Center For American Progress. They claim, of course, to be non-partisan but take a look here at their board of directors. They are all hard left wingers. (And I won't mention...

    Opinion piece from Dr. John Lott in the Wall Street Journal

    No offense taken. :) Your point of view is important. I don't, however believe that the scenario I laid out is inevitable. I don't KNOW what will happen any more than anyone else does. This. Those who believe that something CAN'T or WON'T happen here simply because it hasn't happened yet...

    Opinion piece from Dr. John Lott in the Wall Street Journal

    It has been said many times before - there will be no door-to-door collection effort IF a ban ever became "you know, the thing". They would simply declare an amnesty period of some months to allow you to turn them in beyond which you would become a felon for possessing the banned object. So...

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    Yeah, I agree. My guess - and it's only that - is that they are planning on new design work to be done elsewhere by an already existing design team so they don't need the Huntsville engineers and won't be hiring new engineers for NY.

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    I could be wrong, of course, but my understanding was that this was a forgone conclusion since the Huntsville facility itself was not part of the bankruptcy court agreement meaning nobody - including Roundhill - bought it. (Vista bid on and got at least the ammo manufacturing assets IN the...

    Interesting that Newsweek would publish an article on the ammo shortage

    Perhaps among the "regular folks". But among the people who normally salivate over firearm restrictions, the appetite for such things is never sated. They are simply waiting for the table to be reset before they begin feasting. What will be on the menu may be more locally grown than...

    Have you ever had a “well, there goes the hunt” moment?

    I was on an elk hunt in the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. We had six days to hunt. One guy shot a raghorn the first day. His 16 yo daughter shot a nice 5x5 two days later. My buddy shot a 5x6 the next day. Finally, on the afternoon of the last day, I had a beautiful 6x6 broadside in my...

    Cougar sighting

    ...Or moose. They maintained for years that the drastic decline in the moose population in northeast MN was due to - global warming... Then, around 2012, they finally got around to doing a GPS collar survey of moose calves and they found out the same thing that every hunter in that part of the...

    Cougar sighting

    And here is a news article about that cougar being hit near the freeway. For those unfamiliar with the Twin Cities, this intersection is between two multi-lane interstate freeways and is not at all remote. It is in the middle of major shopping areas. Also interesting general MN cougar info in...

    Remington dismantlement described

    The backup bidder would have no grounds to challenge the Roundhill bid as they themselves were aware of D'Arcy's roll at Roundhill at the time they formed their own bid. And the concept of "insider information" being unfair doesn't apply in a bankruptcy case like this anyway. All details of...

    Remington dismantlement described

    This particular Roundhill Group, LLC was not in existence in June of 2019 so if the banks were aware, that awareness would have come after his taking the role. This particular Roundhill was formed in Delaware in August of 2019. Which doesn't mean, of course, that the folks behind Roundhill...

    Remington dismantlement described

    From your prior posts on this issue, I do get your "unseemly" reference and agree that it could be an issue. However, if one looks forward instead of back, this might be good news for Mdl 700 fans. One of the fears that some folks have expressed is that the factories that make these would be...

    Minneapolis church wants to buy back guns

    If folks from the church just set up a table on the sidewalk without notice to the city and without police presence and with the intent to keep for themselves any "purchased" firearms, then not legal. But that's not what is happening. If instead they get approval from the local government...

    Minneapolis church wants to buy back guns

    Yes, this is legal. The Mpls Police Dept will be onsite to ensure that and I would imagine they will ultimately take possession of any firearms taken in during the "buyback". This is the latest info I could find...

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    The Nevada company was different from this one. It was established in 2002 and declared inactive 6 or 7 years later. It was apparently started by the same fellow as the current one, though. However the current one was formed in Delaware in August, 2019. (Regardless of where their operations...

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    Yes, that's what I believe it is. This is a common thing actually. I was involved in one back in the late 1980's. Similar vehicles are currently all the rage in the stock market where they are known as a SPAC, which stands for Special Purpose Acquisition Company. However these are different...

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    Nope. They are required by the court agreement to hire at least 200 union workers within 75 days of the close of the sale. But I have no idea how it will all pan out after that.

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    Sure, I agree with that. It could be viewed as shady, but they AREN'T a real estate investment company... :) Again, I don't have any idea of what their plans might be going forward, but I'd be willing to bet that they intend to operate the factories and keep the brand going at some level.

    Remington does it again... Bankruptcy No 2.

    Yes, I know you meant $13 million and not $13 billion. And yes, that's not much. People keep saying that the "Roundhill Group, LLC" that bid on the assets is a real estate business. I'd sure like to see some links or other evidence to back that up because I can't find any. If you play with...
