Lots of stuff going on in the world nowadays

This is just a general observation.
Every year the legislature convenes to make new laws about this n' that.
It seems to me that after hundreds of years of making new laws, there would be a law against anything and everything.

Maybe the legislators should spend a portion of their time getting rid of old outdated laws.
Kind of like when the pumper truck comes around to suck the crap out of a cesspool.

Hawaii is the most expensive state to live in.

I get these messages regularly.
I hope nobody falls for these spam text messages.

I've been casting lead bullets for over 40 years.
About 12 years ago I produced a beautiful video showing a brief overview of how I do it. It was video with slack key guitar music in the background. There was no talking, just music. The music was played by a fellow 2A forum member.

YouTube just pulled the video off for violating their policies.
I just sent a protest.

In the ongoing effort to cycle through my stash of canned foods, I posted a message about beanie weenies.
I also have a large stash of canned tuna.

Tuna sandwiches are easy
Tuna musubi is classic.
Tuna with Mac and cheese is good.

But I am going to try making smoked Tuna chip dip to eat with fresh veggies and tortilla chips. I never tried doing that before.

Prep now for crappy weather.
The usual stuff.
Food, water, batteries, gas, ...
ammo

Tie your loose stuff down.

The cookie guy passed away.
Back in the 70's, I used to go to his shop on Keeaumoku St. to get the cookies directly.
They were the best. After the business expanded they tasted mass produced. Unfortunate.

quote from the AP article--

"The rampage is the latest shocking attack in a country where a recent rise in knife crime has stoked anxieties
 and led to calls for the government to do more to clamp down on bladed weapons,
which are by far the most commonly used instruments in U.K. homicides."

Isn't this why guillotines and ropes and electric chairs and gas chambers were invented?
y'all know how I feel about this matter.
Anybody disagree? Seriously, I want to know if there is anyone who disagrees...and why.

A few days ago there was a Japanese guy who was jailed for having replica grenades in his luggage.

TSA agents stop man at Honolulu’s airport after finding prohibited items in his carry-on https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/07/12/tsa-agents-stop-man-honolulus-airport-after-finding-prohibited-items-his-carry-on/

So this makes me wonder, when does a fake weapon become illegal to possess? When does a toy or tool become illegal?
I have several of these grip exercisers which I use to keep my handgun grip in shape. Would I end up in jail like that Japanese guy?
