It doesn't matter, the point is that demand creates its own supply:
From the BBC: Man Convicted of Converting Guns Englishman converted 90 replica MAC-10s to fire live ammo. This apparently went on for several years. Curiously, he was convicted of seven counts of "Conspiracy to.." do this or that, and the two charges of possessing a prohibited weapon were dropped.
Bad stuff 'bout men, from Oprah.com. Here's a small sample:
Marriage and its cruel cohort, fidelity, are a lot to expect from anyone, much less from swift-flying us. Would we agree to wear the same eyeshadow or eat in the same restaurant every day for a lifetime?
See, there was this department store, with six floors. And on the first floor ...
I made my first ham radio contact (or "QSO") tonight with my shiny new key. I talked (Morse code "talk") to K4ZNC in Tallahassee on 40-meters. The above is my "QSL" card, sort of a souvenir of the contact.
My sending is almost as bad as my receiving, but I made it work.
A delightful evening on the back porch with a Gloria Cubana cigar, a snifter of Drambuie, a cup of Colombian Supremo and a good book.
This one features the appearance, the one and only appearance, of the Armourer, Major Boothroyd. He takes away Bond's .25 Beretta and replaces it with the famous 7.65 Walther PPK, and, much less famous, a Smith and Wesson Centennial Airweight in .38 Special.
The Armourer is based on a real person, Geoffrey Boothroyd, a British firearms expert who wrote to Fleming that Bond's choice of weapons might be improved. Fleming asked Boothroyd if he could write him in as a minor character.
And, in the first chapter, a Morse code shortwave contact on 14 mc that is mysteriously broken off in mid-sentence and gets the whole plot rolling. Ham radio, too? Be still my heart!
Although, the "hits" were carried out with silenced revolvers (!). Well, there's only one way THAT can work:
Do you suppose Boothroyd told Fleming about the curious design of the 1895 Nagant?
It says, "Top Ten", but it actually goes to eleven.
This photo shows "The Foggy Bottom Boys" from "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?" which is itself based on the Preston Sturges (pbuh) masterpiece, "Sullivan's Travels".
I don't particularly care, except for this wonderful quote:
"A woman who pulled herself up by her bra straps and has been known to let them down occasionally" (Bette Midler, introducing Madonna at Live Aid in 1985).
Here are my casting suggestions: Riff Raff – Johnny Depp Columbia – Angelina Jolie Magenta – Catherine Zeta-Jones Brad – Leonardo di Caprio Janet – Scarlett Johannsen Eddie – Andrew Dice Clay A Noted Criminologist – Michael Caine
But who will play Dr. Frank N. Furter, Tim Curry's part in the original?
That's "Big-Ass Monitor". That's a real helicopter in front of it. This is one of the winches that lifts it. Rear view, with a guy in the background for size reference. It looks like a bicycle chain, but it's an articulated cable trough: it bends as the B.A.M. is raised and lowered.
"If you've got to resist, your chances of being hurt are less the more lethal your weapon. If that were my wife, would I want her to have a .38 Special in her hand? Yeah." - Dr. Arthur Kellermann, Health Magazine (March/April 1994) p 61

This book is a fun read. Dark humor is not for everyone, but when I saw the title...

Makes a tricked-out AR seem simple.

How can anyone compete with someone who can actually fly?
Nastia Liukin of the U.S. What an amazing athlete!
I saw this ad as a pop-up in the Jerusalem Post yesterday. I was able to grab a freeze, but I couldn't get a URL.
I don't particularly care, except for this wonderful quote:
The L.A. Times has a nice feature on "the most decorated member of the U.S. Olympic shooting team."
If the BBC says it, it's gotta be true!
It was so excellent when Mal kicked this bad dude into the engine intake!
Well, they're not really detectives.
Jeez, Lautenberg is ugly.
