on this date in San Francisco: nothing happened

Yes but these little pieces of metal are all from Mordor, forged in the fires of Mount Doom! Think of the children

Are imports from Mordor banned? Do we have to go down the parts kits route?

I have no connection to undergrad houses at Caltech, and I find the mere notion of this insulting!

That's a relief. People with a connection to the undergrad houses at Caltech have a 14.3% chance of contracting scurvy, you know.

Ezra Denney Had a wonderful night at LCAV's 17th Anniversary Dinner. Great to be among so many inspirational people.

No mention of the extra security...

It's a shame that an otherwise intelligent human being can be so stupid.

I've run into these types a few times before. It's not stupidity. It's about having power over impressionable people. I bet he likes young, liberal, impressionable girls and/or guys and he has cultivated a role where he gets to mold and direct them.

That is some of the funniest stuff I have heard in a while. Good Job to all.

Then how do you know about the Dabney cannon?

Oh, them's fightin' words...



Besides, everybody knows that Fleming eats it faster.

I contemplated shooting it on Independence Day. The problem was that I was too lazy to make black powder, and this was before my interest in firearms resurfaced, so I didn't know I could just buy it. I also didn't want to be expelled, and I was on thin ice already (Caltech lost its sense of humor and promised an investigation into the unauthorized use of MIT systems which seemed to've originated from Caltech. It was a bunch of lies, of course, but you know how hard it is to defend one's good name these days, no matter how innocent he may be)

What, impressing hippie girls for the purpose of, umm, dating them is wrong now?

It seems that the folks who actually live under the thumb of oppressive gun control laws (Californians) are much more adept at fighting effectively, not to mention using a multitude of approaches.

Hat's off to Calguns and the innovative folks here! Other state organizations could learn from this.

We will be talking about this lovely bit of political theater today on Gun Talk Radio.

I contemplated shooting it on Independence Day.

Well, since you passed my little test and didn't know it is the Fleming cannon and not the Dabney cannon, perhaps you're right. I concede that you don't have any connection to the undergrad houses. I abjectly apologize for sullying your good name with such a vile, baseless accusation.

The problem was that I was too lazy to make black powder,

Geeze, that's lazy. I recall some undergrads who were planning to make a fuel-air bomb and explode it out in the desert. Nothing came of it that I know of, perhaps because they figured out that ATF doesn't have the same sense of humor that the Caltech administration usually does.

and this was before my interest in firearms resurfaced, so I didn't know I could just buy it. I also didn't want to be expelled, and I was on thin ice already (Caltech lost its sense of humor and promised an investigation into the unauthorized use of MIT systems which seemed to've originated from Caltech.

OK, you just weren't paying attention. I withdraw my withdrawal.

It was a bunch of lies, of course, but you know how hard it is to defend one's good name these days, no matter how innocent he may be)

Hijinks involving computer security? Oh, absolutely, you could not possibly have been involved. It's just inconceivable.

Hey, Tom Gresham is now on Calguns. Is that now everybody who is anybody in the gun world, or is there a holdout somewhere?

A rowdy bunch of malcontents who don't take orders from the state well, that's us.

Very nice. I will have to check the podcast.

You guys were absolutely brilliant!

I went to bed last night fully expecting to see pictures of Calgunners being led away in handcuffs after a pro-gun Code Pink sort of demo. And then I wake up to find that it was a spoof.

That is guerrilla war at its finest.

John in North Carolina

No. It's called probing the enemies strength. Good to know that what you didn't see there are things you're not seeing here either. And neither is the opposition! Oh, I love it!

Aww, I've been hanging out here for about 18 months. Just didn't have anything to offer. I'm a quiet kind of guy, you know. I do appreciate the clever approach to this latest operation. There's a bit of Sun Tsu, or Jujitsu, or Hi Karate, or something, in getting the opponent to take action like this.
