By wizardpc on May 29, 2012, at 5:48 am I had to watch this as part of “diversity training.” See if you came away with the same thing that I did:
I think the message is supposed to be “you should be more understanding of different cultures.” My takeaway was what the hell kind of mother puts herself in that situation? I [...]
By wizardpc on May 24, 2012, at 4:17 pm It took 299 days since the day I ordered it, and 190 days since I went pending, but I just got the call from my dealer that my paperwork has come back.
I (well, my trust) now own a .22 suppressor. Picking it up tomorrow today. (ETA: Couldn’t wait. My Precious!)
Sending off a new [...]

But I’m sure it’ll only be used on crazy right-wing tea party iraq war vets terrorists.

It’s definitely taking longer now than it did a year ago. The author thinks that about a year ago a new process was put in place, and that process is creating a backlog. It’s not just that more people are buying NFA items.

By wizardpc on May 21, 2012, at 5:36 am As non-RSS readers may have noticed, I now have a link on the sidebar to join the NRA*. While I have had some criticism for their marketing plan in the past, I still think it’s a valuable organization–especially at the federal level.

Oh, I failed to mention that it was 90 degrees outside and [...]
By wizardpc on May 13, 2012, at 11:26 pm Sorry for the lack of posting. I was out of town on business this week, working 18 hour days in sunny Florida. Don’t be jealous: I could’ve been in North Dakota and would have barely noticed.

I am kinda sad that my attempt at building a CNC router stalled out in January. It sits there on my workbench taunting me, with it’s x and y axes completed but no drivetrain [...]
By wizardpc on May 9, 2012, at 6:02 am Every now and then, I have to disarm. I try to avoid it, but sometimes you have to go to “gun-free” zones to get stuff done.
Like getting new license plates. Or meeting friends for dinner at a restaurant I’ve never been to and seeing the please rob my restaurant gunbuster sign.

The mask slipped. House Democrats actually complain that there are too many rapists and muggers getting killed.
