Re: Crypto-currencies
On the other hand, the basis of BTC is pretty strong, not so much on what it's backed by, but the fact that it's getting harder and harder to make more of it. Isn't that true of every crypto currency based on block chain? Even if the concept has a long term future, maybe BTC is the next Betamax or ...

Re: Happy Hanukkah
It's a good time to remember Hanukkah celebrates a rebellion against foreign occupiers of Jerusalem and the re-consecration of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, 160 years before Jesus Christ was born, and 730 years before Mohamed. In light of that, no pun intended, how can it be controversial for Trum...

Re: Man killed at Hot Wells in Cypress
A few years back I handled one of my old Remington 700 bolt-action rifles made in the sixties. I was out in a pasture and in a safe area. For some reason the bolt closed on a live-round and would not open back up. I pointed the gun safely to the ground and began to work the bolt when the gun discha...

Re: What is status Restoration of Gun Rights in Austin?
I'm sure constitutional carry will dominate the next session regardless of whether 1911 manages to pass. There will continue to be a push for expand unlicensed 'rights' at the expense of any initiative around off limits locations. My last ditch hope this cycle had been an amendment to 1911 somehow ...

Re: Troy Battlemags @ Western Sport $5.99
I hear Troy Battlemags are a perfect fit for AR rifles made by Springfield and RRA.

Re: ACLU Issues Texas ‘Travel Advisory’
I think it's great because we're better off without more of the type of people who would avoid Texas because of a ‘Travel Advisory’ from the ACLU.

This discussion reminds me why (at times) I quit reading/watching the news. Getting anxious over that I've no control isn't my cup of tea. What good is vexatious knowledge?
