if this passes, will mainland vendors, e.g. Brownells, etc, stop selling parts for AR's to Hawaii?  like barrels, BCG's, triggers, buffer tubes, buttstocks, ...  detents, etc.?

I'm guessing their lawyers will tell them to to err on the side of litigation caution?

Trusting your life to the benevolence of an armed criminal is not a strategy, it is just plain stupidity.

reading this new bill.. I dont see anything about magazine limits.. just "fixed" mags.. also is that stuff about anything before July 8th, a grandfather clause? I know its all shit just want to understand it.

i'm looking at SB401 HD1 (I think that's the right one?):

page 10
16 (c) The manufacture, possession, sale, barter, trade,
17 gift, transfer, or acquisition of detachable [ammunition]
18 magazines with a capacity in excess of ten rounds [which] that
19 are designed for or capable of use with [a pistol is] any
20 firearm shall be prohibited.

expands the current 10rd pistol mag limit to all firearms.

the 50cal ban also bans Desert Eagle 50AE as far as I can tell, for what it's worth.  Neither here nor there, since nobody has those anyways, right?

Final Report came out.



they were making a turn, for the middle part of the turn, they steered a course to north (land), put it in autopilot, and then forgot they were in autopilot as the ship continued towards land.  Ship wouldn't respond to requested change in course to complete the turn to east.  In a panic, they increased power while pointing the controls for the thrusters to turn, but since in autopilot, the thruster steering was controlled by the computer, not the operators' steering wheel, and it just went downhill from there.

after they ran aground, somebody said "do you want to take it out of auto now".  seriously!

Captain issued orders to abandon ship, but told people to "go to the loo first", and maybe get warm clothes, and then decided instead to expedite getting off the ship.

Apparently, the ships captain did not have the necessary training on how to operate the ship, it has some unusual technical propulsion features which proved to be their undoing.

DEI strikes again.  JMO.

Global Tariff War

what happened to no new wars (that's a rhetorical joke).

"it's a huge shit sandwich..."



I get the trade imbalance, EU has been having their way with us, from pillar to post, yup, it's a day of reckoning, just that it's a little painful to just rip the giant-size band-aid off.

I wonder if they're going all-in because after this year, the USAID funding dries up.  i.e. it's all-or-nothing this year.

gut-and-replace is nothing new for Hawaii legislators.  same-old, same-old, nothing to see here, move along.

slimy con-artists.

... and in other news, the Ukraine Army, flush with the success of the Sudzha/Kursk incursion, have decided to duplicate that strategy about 35km south of Sudzha, attacking towards the Russian towns of Demidovka, Grafovka, and Preleslye, in Belgorod Oblast.  They managed to go forward about 1-2km, depending on how you measure, before being stopped by Russian drones, bombs, artillery, and not-frequently-used (due to MANPAD proliferation) Ka-52 and Mi-28 helicopters.  Like Kursk, the approach paths from Maryino and Turiya is now littered with burned-out "Amerikanski" vehicles, courtesy of auto-pen Biden, at no cost to Ukraine, except of course for Ukrainian lives lost.

Having lost Kursk, Zelinsky really wants to get another "bargaining chip", it seems, no matter the cost.

This is about "ghost guns".  Apparently our prosecution cannot prosecute someone yet and needs this law.

i think Putin wanted protections for Russian-speaking people in Ukraine.

so the Ukrainian Parliament is trying to pass a law to make it illegal to speak Russian in Ukraine.
