I went to the first-ever Gun Makers Match. Here's my deep dive and some extra pictures from the event: thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…
"I’m much more concerned that the government could disarm its people,” Rodriguez said. “I think once you’re disarmed, you’re a slave.” thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…
"A big part of it was showing that this is everyday gun owners, showing all the things that can be done legally," @PincusRob said.
"Look at all the colorful gun creatures we saw creeping from the primordial 3D ooze this weekend.” thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…
“I’m sure, if they could, they would ban the knowledge of how to make guns." thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…
“It’s like, who the hell are they to tell me anything? We’re not trying to start some BS or whatever. We’re just trying to protect ourselves, our family, our livelihood, and our way of living.” thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…
“It’s so cool going through and seeing the builds. Some people make some small adjustments and some people build whole new designs.” thereload.com/a-ghost-gun-co…

The Black Rifle Coffee guys come off looking pretty good in this New York Times Magazine profile. The more they push against the lunatic fringe, the more I like them. nytimes.com/2021/07/14/mag…
The kicker is pretty lame but this is probably the best treatment try could've hoped for from The New York Times. This is why I think people are usually better off talking to reporters so long as the reporter has a reputation for fairness.
I don't particularly care if people buy their coffee or not. I've always thought they had a cool brand and products but I don't have any ad deals with them or anything like that. Never have. I just really like when people on the right stand up to the loons.

Went on a Philly trip with my brother and some friends this weekend. Brought my Sony a6100 to practice my photography skills since I have to take all the pictures for @TheReloadSite stories now lol. I got a few that I really like.

The text of the amendment is very plain.

"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

The amount of gaslighting people on the left use in regards to the Second Amendment is amazing.

Keep doesn't mean own. The people means the states.
This all strikes me as incredibly lazy more than anything else. It's intended to get claps from those who already uncritically agree with you. It's certainly not going to persuade anyone else.
As with the other plainly worded amendments in the Bill of Rights, determining how they apply in a myriad of different circumstances is necessary. But this shortcut of just saying the words don't mean what they plainly mean and are really devoid of all value is dumb.

NEW: Federal Court Declares Handgun Ban for Adults Under 21 Unconstitutional thereload.com/federal-court-…
“Our nation’s most cherished constitutional rights vest no later than 18,” Judge Julius N. Richardson wrote for The Court, with Judge G. Steven Agee concurring. “And the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is no different.” thereload.com/federal-court-…
“Despite the weighty interest in reducing crime and violence, we refuse to relegate either the Second Amendment or 18-to-20-year-olds to a second-class status.” thereload.com/federal-court-…

These are gun possession charges stemming from minor traffic stops, by the way. There don't appear to be charges beyond possession.
He faces 3 years in prison for having guns California doesn't like. Not for using them in any nefarious way or even planning to use them in any nefarious way. At least, from what we know now.
These sorts of charges are why a lot of states are passing things like permitless gun carry. Perhaps Frank Clark knew he was violating California's gun laws by having those guns in his car (he should have researched it beforehand) but the law doesn't even require that be proved.

Welp. My local shop built the gun from The Tomorrow War. Watch out, @prattprattpratt!
There were two versions of the gun in the movie. This is the longer barrel that's used by the badass shotgun guy.
The short-barrel version that Chris Pratt uses is such a bizarre build. It's got a full-length stock with like a 10-inch barrel and an ACOG. There's no logic behind this lol.
