Dems launching another attack on the 2nd amendment. Senator Chris Murphy (D) NY), is pushing an amendment that will raise the NFA Tax Stamp to $4709 per item.

Winning! Man caught on camera throwing dozens of poop bags on Bell LGBTQ center roof: ‘He knows who we are’ On Wednesday, workers at an LGBTQ center in Southeast Los Angeles removed 125 bags of dog poop from their awning. It’s happening at Mi SELA on Florence Avenue in the city of Bell. Eddie Martinez, executive director at the center, told KNX News’ Emily Valdez that security video shows that every morning, a man walks his dog in front of the center and throws a bag of dog poop onto the awning. “He knows who we are,” he said. “He looks at the cameras.” He said that because littering is not a crime, the police can’t arrest the guy...

Eform4 submitted. Seamless process.

Personally I think the pain is coming in 24-48 hours.

I reached out today and this is what I got back

Hear anything back?

Trump claims they called off executions because of the threat of force. I'm skeptical but that is the advantage to keep the other side thinking you're just crazy enough to really bring the pain.

Airspace of Iran closed. Trump seems to have softened his remarks but who knows with him.

I assume you're referring to this? ItaMilRadarUS Tanker Squadron Departs Qatar as Iran Tensions RiseIn the early evening today, several US Air Force KC-135R aerial refuelling aircraft departed Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and headed south over the Arabian Peninsula before switching off their transpond

Yep, but it's nothing new. I had an issue when I filed a Form 4 for a free SBR a couple of years back during the brace amnesty period. I don't know why, it simply doesn't make sense...

The Deid is flushing again according to OSINT

Unfortunately very true. Poor bastards.

That rocket uses crack as fuel.

The Navy is stressed right now...to say the least.

I hope so. My biggest concern is maintaining a creditable/sustainable deterrent to the plethora of bad guys all around the world and covering an area not currently overly hot but that we all know can turn on a dime. BOG? Yep scary. No matter who's in charge over there we'll have some who still hate us.

Hopefully they have their shit in a sock when I go to buy later this year.

Just got my EForm 4 Ready to Submit email this morning. Fingers crossed...... I'll follow up

Update for those using (or attempting to use), the new Electronic Form 4 with ATF. The system has crashed multiple times since they went live the first of the year, they did not anticipate the increased demand caused by lowering the tax stamp to )$....morons. I bought a quick disconnect suppressor for my Sig MPX and a new 5.7X28 from SPARTAC with an integrated ans sheathed with suppressor. When I completed the form the website crashed multiple times while trying to submit, was successful the next day. I am at Day 5 with no change in status. I've heard reports of 1-7 days for individual and longer for trusts. Totally subjective but the broker told me for the ones he is processing, if someone has a security clearance (a lot of military where I live), it is taking twice as long as the others with out. No idea why that would be the case....and could just be his experience locally as a one off. Pictures when complete.

Those traveling to wright patt today, just want to say good luck and pray all goes well tomorrow! Also, the AF Museum is amazing! There’s a KC10 there that I flew on around the world as a flight engineer…say hi to it for me please!

Elon turned Starlink on for free, thought to be difficult to jam until the IRGC rolled out the big jammers yesterday cutting 80% of the flow. If you look at the intel, this would be a smaller operation than you might think. The IRGC has lost grip and we would not need large scale strikes so we are not looking at big attacks on infrastructure, more likely targeted hit on IRGC and their control mechanisms. I think there could also be a limited ground presence (which is scary), but an effort to secure the nuke sites/material.

the Medicare fraud in MN which is a percentage of our GDP pisses me off

Trump tells Iranian protesters 'help is on its way' | AP News I can't see any way Trump can back down now. I wonder how fast we ramp up cruise missile etc. production because sustainability of a large-scale operation is looking for a lot more than a theoretical/academic discussion at this point. Remember when Ukraine was THE headline?
