It's old-n-tired.


I just read up last night on rebarreling those things. It's not yer daddy's boltie, that's for certain. The chamber cannot be reamed in place, and it's very fiddly what with hand-tight barrels and playing with the go-nogo gauges and all. Yet, it's a system. Just a bit fiddly system.


I'd like to build an accurized one. You know, in between all the other shit I have that I can work on . . . .
That might take some doing.
 
I don't think I have an old school watch any more. Well, my grandfather's pocket watch. It doesn't run. I do have a wind-'em-up mantel clock, but the mouse would have a fit when it chimed. I guess I could just not wind the chimes and that might work.


When will Da Man ever realize that we're gonna get over somehow???

When GCA68 was written, drug addiction would have been considered a societal blight, a pitfall of piss-poor decisions and misspent living. After that time and with the advent of the Disease Model and its acceptance (largely - not all doctors buy it by any stretch) and the willingness of the insurance industry to pay for treatment for a primary diagnosis of alcoholism/addiction, general perception has moved from the "they're losers" thinking to "they're victims" thinking. I don't see how you prevent sick people from exercising their constitutional rights, Allah-given or not. Here's guessing that, like mental illness, they'll only prohibit you in the future if you were adjudicated into treatment or the like.

In other words, committed. How to handle that is problematic.

Cute how you two carefully dance around this subject when you could easily say his name. Go ahead. Give it a try:

Hun-Tah Bye-Den
 
Which seems to be okay for the mental health segment. It's going to revolve around the illness bit.


Or they just fuck it bloody as usual.
I see the SFB stuck it's nose in.

Beginning in the late '70's through the early '90's there were a series of SCOTUS decisions to address the abuses in the nations mental health system, and make no mistake, there were abuses. The results of those decisions were the virtual dismantlement of the mental health systems and made it damned near impossible to commit anyone. Needless to say the administration is attempting various backdoor policies to categorize people 'mentally incompetent.'

I think there was some AFT shit while Slick Willie was around about making it so veterans who had sought mental health treatment were prohibited from purchasing firearms. I'm not sure where I read that (I think I know), and I'm not sure what became of it, but that was an era of some clamping down on access and availability. Didn't quite work like they thought, and it didn't last, not all of it.


My M2 ball arrived. I reckon it's time to start making some more en bloc clips loads.

That particular effort was short-stopped but the VA is still trying.
