Going Ballistic

• Washington’s Background Checks: A Step Forward or a Gun Grabber’s Dream?

• Washington has reinstated its background check system for gun purchases, but there are ongoing concerns about delays and potential inefficiencies. This development affects the gun community as it may lead to longer wait times for legal purchases, fostering frustration among gun owners. Gun control advocates continue to push for stricter regulations, but the effectiveness of such measures is under scrutiny.

• NRA Takes Aim at Washington’s Magazine Ban: Second Amendment Strikes Back

• The NRA has submitted an amicus brief challenging Washington state’s magazine ban, claiming it infringes on Second Amendment rights. This move is seen as a direct confrontation to gun control efforts and may energize pro-gun advocates while potentially frustrating those pushing for stricter regulations.

• Maine’s 72-Hour Wait for Your Rights: A Legal Timeout Gone Wrong

• A lawsuit challenging Maine’s 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases has been dropped, reinforcing the immediate exercise of Second Amendment rights and signaling a setback for gun control advocates who push for restrictions.

• Republicans Score a Win with a Gun-Loving Senate Leader

• Republicans have selected a new Senate Majority Leader known for a strong pro-gun stance, signaling a potential boost for the gun community. This leadership change may result in a more favorable environment for gun rights legislation amidst ongoing debates with gun control advocates.

• Armor Wars: New York’s Latest Foolishness Hits the Courts

• A legal challenge has been filed against New York’s ban on body armor, which is viewed as an overreach by gun control advocates. This move has raised concerns within the gun community regarding potential encroachments on personal freedoms and the Second Amendment rights.

• Gun-Free Zones: A Sneaky Attack on Your Second Amendment Rights

• Michigan’s implementation of gun-free zones is seen as a tactic to undermine the Second Amendment right to carry firearms, drawing criticism from gun advocates who argue it restricts their freedoms and promotes a false sense of security.

• Border Heist: 11,000 Rounds of Freedom-Fighting Ammo Snagged

• Authorities seized 11,000 rounds of 7.62×39 ammunition at the Mexican border, raising concerns about illegal arms trafficking. This incident may stir up discussions in the gun community about border security and the effectiveness of gun control measures, especially given the focus on law-abiding gun owners versus smugglers.

• Memphis Gets a Lesson in Second Amendment Enforcement

• Gun rights groups have filed a lawsuit against Memphis in response to a newly enacted anti-gun ordinance, arguing that it infringes upon Second Amendment rights and could have significant implications for the local gun community and lawful firearm ownership.

• Another Win for Freedom: 3rd Circuit Stands Strong Against Gun Control in PA

• The 3rd Circuit’s decision to reject Pennsylvania’s motion to remand a concealed carry case is a win for gun rights advocates. The ruling suggests a continuing challenge to restrictive gun laws and reinforces the stance that courts will uphold the rights to bear arms, impacting the ongoing debate within the gun community.

• When Did the Supreme Court Become Your Gun Control Fairy Godmother?

• Senator Hirono’s claim that the Supreme Court established the right to own guns in 2008 adds to the ongoing debate surrounding gun ownership. This perspective may further galvanize the gun community, reinforcing their stance against gun control measures and highlighting the interpretation of the Second Amendment in legal discussions.

• Another Politician’s Misguided Push to Ban Bump Stocks

• Democrat Dick Durbin is pushing for a Senate ban on bump stocks, aiming to restrict this firearm accessory amid ongoing gun control debates. This effort may stir increased advocacy and rallying within the gun community as they fight against perceived encroachments on Second Amendment rights.

• Ohio House Democrats have introduced a proposal for a 10-day waiting period for gun sales, aiming to impose new restrictions on purchasing firearms. This measure is viewed as an infringement on the rights of gun owners and is likely to be met with resistance from those who support the Second Amendment.

Reviews

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Mike In Gerogia – The prison gang you dont want, but the prison gang you need.
  
  Shawn is the shot caller, he knows how to get things
  Jeremy is the muscle, dont fuck with him, he’ll fuck you up, but he’s still working on his first stateside…(supposedly)
  Aaron is the religious zealot who will argue the other side just to piss you off (he believes in God but not Jesus)
  Savage a.k.a. “The Thumb”, jail house lawyer, says a lot, but eventually you’ll get the info you want
  Nick, the mechanic, planning to escape? he’s the guy to talk too, but you have to barter for the help, no coffee though, it goes right through him
  
  …. This group of hooligans, have a lot of members on the outside to help also… almost like a cult

 

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Steven S – Since you’ve been raping my ear pussy for years, I figure you should get to pop my podcast review cherry as well. It’s hard to encapsulate the show in a few lines so bear with me.
  
  This show hits all the right notes and encompasses all the right material the average “dude” is yearning for. New shit. Hot shit. Cool shit. Some back-and-forth banter. Everything one could ask for.
  Jeremy’s anecdotes are always an adventure. Never misses an opportunity to boast his stature or machine gun collection. Shawn keeps the show moving and mostly on point because the crew is more ADHD than a Labrador in a yard filled with squirrels. Sometimes he’ll snarkle (is that a word?) like Gargamel from Smurfs, and that can get annoying but hey, I’ll take what I can get. Aaron I appreciate for his ability to take criticism from everyone all the time. Not to mention he makes me chuckle every time he annoys Shawn with the “bi-curious” comment. Nick is the most grounded crew member. His deep voice and flat tone is somewhat soothing. Bringing a wealth of knowledge and calm demeanor keeps the show well-rounded. I hope I’m not forgetting anybody. Keep up the good work and stay frosty

 

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Jassnibbler: Its me again. Jassnibbler. Cant find the ? Option. Thanks for the sticker after that long ass review. Hope yall liked it.

Magpul lawsuits update

MFT, Amend2 and ETS

Common Patents Across Lawsuits

1. U.S. Patent No. 8,839,543 (‘543 Patent)
   • Focus: Internal magazine architecture with features like a constant internal curve, guide rails, and tines on the follower.
2. U.S. Patent No. 8,635,796 (‘796 Patent)
   • Focus: Structurally enhanced ridges, guide rails to stabilize the follower, and a two-piece floor plate locking mechanism.

These patents serve as the foundation of Magpul’s complaints in all lawsuits, emphasizing internal architecture, stability features, and polymer construction.

Key Features at Issue

• Guide Rails:
  • Present in the patents to stabilize the follower and prevent wobbling, allegedly replicated in the competitors’ magazines.
• Follower Design:
  • Follower tines interacting with guide rails for smooth operation.
• Floor Plate:
  • A locking system ensuring secure assembly and durability.
• Structural Ridge:
  • Adds strength and helps align cartridges during feeding.
• Polymer Casing:
  • Durable material with a specific internal geometry.

Differences in Focus

• While the patents remain consistent, each lawsuit may highlight different accused products and design elements:
  • ETS Case: Focused on transparent/translucent magazines and their alleged replication of internal architecture and feeding reliability.
  • Amend2 Case: Emphasizes modifications like novelty designs (e.g., colors, patterns) but allegedly maintains the patented internal structure.
  • MFT Case: Includes a broader array of magazine models but still revolves around patented features like guide rails and structural ridges.

 

Thermal

1. Resolution:
   • Like a TV or phone screen, this tells you how clear the image is.
   • Higher numbers (like 640×480) mean sharper, more detailed pictures.
2. Pixel Pitch:
   • This measures how small the heat-detecting “dots” are in the sensor.
   • Smaller numbers (like 12 microns) give you better detail.
3. Refresh Rate:
   • This tells you how fast the image updates, measured in Hertz (Hz).
   • Higher rates (like 60Hz) mean smoother images, which is good if something is moving quickly.
4. Detection Range:
   • How far away the scope can see heat. Longer ranges (like 1,000 yards) are better for spotting things far away.
5. NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference):
   • This measures how sensitive the scope is to small temperature differences.
   • Lower numbers (like ≤50mK) mean it’s better at showing tiny differences in heat, making it easier to see details.
6. Field of View (FOV):
   • This is how wide the area you can see through the scope is. A wide FOV helps you scan large areas quickly.
