      Let's Try Posting This Way

      Here are two more pages that I wrote today on using a non-adjusted or how-to-adjust a laser bore sighter.

      Let's Try Posting This Way

      I decided to redo my piece on adjusting laser bore sighters and put in some supporting graphics. I got it done in one day, but only after giving up on some free drawing software and going back to Microsoft's 2002 Picture It! program. Users of later Office Suites have it integrated in that...

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      As to being verbose, I concede the point. Not everybody thinks in a way where they start on some premise and immediately jump to some conclusion. My job as I see it is to see how the facts fit together, and to pull in more facts as needed until the conclusion is obvious. I think as I write...

      . You can't change anything by running for office. To win, you have to compromise in order to get backing and support. You have to tell people what they want to hear, not what they need to know. And the one that wins is the one that is least tarred and scarred from a long and bitter...

      I would think so. Yes, I fully agree. Difference is, that in real life, if someone gets in your face, you can always walk away, unless that is exactly what they are trying to make you do. I have a right here as much as anybody else, and my point of view is driven by years of experience and...

      Especially if they make it obvious, right?

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      Frank, I'm a bit tired of trying to nurse you into thinking like an adult. Your years as a whatever have sunk in too deep. I've read the Second Amendment many times, and there you go again, making assumptions without anything to base them on. You are tiring, sir, and a waste of my time. But...

      I don't know what people read any more than you do. I do know that we are turning out fewer readers in our school system, and that what they teach now is nothing like what we learned when we were younger. You always make these big assumptions when you are really only speaking your own notions...

      I spoke earlier on the matter of "you can't count on the military joining you" if you decide you need to rebel against the government in power. That is true even if the military leadership itself were to rebel against the party in power. You should be glad of the latter, because we don't want...

      Here is a not-so-funny thing about investments (like savings or owning stocks and bonds) and inflation, and how they work together: As inflation becomes worse, the value of your investments seem to rise. In other words, it looks like you are making money, when the actual changes are negated...

      I would say "was the greatest country" rather than "is". It's changed a lot, and not for the better. We still have a pretty soft touch here, but when the money fades out, all that will be gone in a flash. It's been said so often that it hardly bears repeating: "You can't borrow your way out...

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      Seems to me I have just been presenting facts and sources along with conclusions, and some others have been jumping to conclusions without stating any facts. All I;m doing is turning the hose back the other way when it is aimed in my direction. That's a favorate tactic of those that strike...

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      As I said before, at least 90% reject facts that do not suit their fantasy of what the world is really like. Saw the same in the USA after my first visit to countries around the Med. Can't reach them because of the solid bone between the ears, and don't even try. Incidently, I began visiting...

      I get the impression that you don't have an idea one about what is important and what isn't. "old info" to you is not old info to some. There is an old saying about "don't shoot the bearer of bad news". Yours is another potshot, in case you didn't know.

      Past your bedtime, Frank? Good thing you aren't going to be quizzed on the material covered here. Or are you, say in life's own exam room?

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      Our military has never turned against the civilian authority above it, and by keeping them young, drilling them well, and rotating their assignments over a few years, we have created a culture that expects no less from our military youth. The problem now isa, that it is the civilian authority...

      Certainly I dislike them. They betray the America I was born and raised in. What a cheap potshot on your part. And yes, I have great trouble with a society that has permitted this to happen and learned to accept it as just a matter of course. Also a society that encourages violence in our...

      Americans have fired on Americans in the past, and I am not talking about the Revolutionary or Civil wars, but union and worker strikes. They came up with water cannons and rubber bullets for a reason, which is to try and avoid bloodshed. There was even one campus riot that led to students...

      Where the Gun Issue is Going

      Every day you walk through life and never give a thought to the next bad think that could happen that you did not expect. You look at the funny(?) videos that people shoot of themselves or other as they do truly stupid stunts that risk life and limb, and laugh at the stupidity displayed. That...

      I wasn't into politics most of my life. Most elections it was more about whom I was voting against rather than whom I was voting for. It didn't seem to matter which party I was a member of, and the only election I was ever really concerned about is whom was going to become President, not even...
