Today was the last day of decisions from the supremes for this season. Included in it was the decision to send back to the appellate courts multiple cases involving standard capacity mag bans. The court had previously upheld the bans however the supremes reversed the decision and sent it back to the lower courts. The basic implication is “read what we wrote in bruen, do it again, and get it right this time”

Do circuit decisions automatically apply to the whole circuit? Eg: if Hawaii gets open carry would call of the 9th states get open carry, or would someone need to file a challenge in each state?

So hopefully all that shit Delaware just passed will have to be dropped too.

Here's my current plan for it:

What I have-
CNC Warrior M92 Folding brace
Krebs Custom Ambi Yugo Safety selector
Tango Down pistol grip
Sling
Lots of mags
What I plan to buy-
Chopped Dong handguard(already ordered)
CNC Warrior 4pc brake
Gas tube rail(if I need it)
More mags

I bought the Alpha version with the pic rails on top and the back. I have to remove the rear rail to install the brace, which is annoying, but the brace will sit more flush this way. Also got the right side folder on the brace to keep things relatively slick on the left side of the gun. I have an eotech laying around that looks great on the top rail. Might replace it if the bulk + battery life ends up bothering me. Life stuff came up this week, but I hope to get everything installed in time for a range day this weekend.

The Tango Down grip is pretty nice. I have one on both my Yugos.

They could, but they also could not. They could just adopt the whole "This only applies to this extremely narrow scenario" that Roberts likes to apply when he can't flip flop around without a spine. Granted, that is required at times, but most like what will happen is the 9th will just tell SCOTUS to eat shit en banc and then get bitch slapped down like they did in COVID.
 
Wikipedia sucks, but today I actually learned about something; the Gunslinger Effect, a hypothesis by Neils Bohr.
The gunslinger effect, also sometimes called Bohr's law or the gunfighter's dilemma, is a psychophysical theory which says that an intentional or willed movement is slower than an automatic or reaction movement. The concept is named after physicist Niels Bohr, who first deduced that the person who draws second in a gunfight will actually win the shoot-out.
Click to expand...
Danish physicist Niels Bohr came up with the hypothesis after watching Western films, which frequently depicted the protagonist drawing after his opponent in a gunfight and winning.
He hypothesized that a person reacting might move faster than their opponent, who moved deliberately. Bohr staged mock gunfights using cap guns with his students to test this hypothesis. Bohr found that the person who drew second always won in these experiments, leading him to conclude that drawing first created a distinct disadvantage. Based on the inevitability of this outcome, Bohr suggested that the most logical conclusion to a gunfight would be a peaceful settlement, since neither gunslinger would want to draw first knowing that they would lose.
Later research confirmed the basic hypothesis, showing that intentional movements and reaction movements were controlled by two separate systems, and that it was not confined merely to hand or arm movements. The gunslinger effect applies to the initial reaction, not later limb control, but there is no trade-off between that early reaction and later targeting accuracy.

One study conducted at the University of Birmingham found that subjects moved 10% faster when reacting rather than acting with intention. However, the study also found that reactive movements were less accurate than intentional ones, and that the increased movement speed did not make up for the initial delay. Because of this, the authors of the study felt that the increased speed would not confer much advantage in a gunfight, although it may be advantageous in other situations.

Some later studies found that although volunteers' reactions were faster than deliberate actions during simple one-step tasks, this advantage was not present in more complex, multi-step actions. Furthermore, the effect was reversed when volunteers were presented with a choice of action, with reacting volunteers moving more slowly.

A 2020 study did find that Bohr's law held true during full-body actions, and was not confined to simple one-handed tasks.

This might explain the CCW videos I see where the guy is accosted at gun point then manages to kill his assailants with his own gun.

Or it's just because most of these videos feature American niggers or Brazilian hoods as the assailants. Both groups aren't splitting the atom any time soon.

Patrick Bateman's AR
Click to expand...
that's an ATI Omni Hybrid MAXX AR-15 with a replaced handguard for a (AIM sports maybe? it's not the ATI, UTG or the other usual suspects) quad rail and MAKO combination polymer bipod/vertical grip. EOTech and what might be a Surefire weaponlight (scout light maybe, the M622) have been added, likely from state police supplies.

after some looking around, Wee1 Tactical appears to be an offshoot of a tool company, and the actual JR-15 rifle is a .22LR-only reduced-size rifle with a variety of lock-out features on the controls, including fixed magazines, integrated fire control lock, and some others. it only comes with 1, 5, or 10 shot magazines and is functionally a modified Ciener conversion upper, much like many other popular AR-15/22's out there. while the marketing might be questionable, promoting gun safety for children (to remove mystery) and ensuring that there are a variety of kid-friendly, parent controlled safety features seems like a pretty good idea. the Cricket rifles and various youth/junior/bantam firearms out there aren't any real different in that regard apart from maybe lacking the specific lock-out features.

i'm unsurprised that Newsome has the hot take that he has (with the wrong rifle as well) - i'm guessing he's against introducing gun safety at a young (or any) age. the core idea is the same as promoting safe sex education in schools - remove the mystery and enticements from idle hands and minds and instill respect and value early in life so the child has at least some inkling of the gravity of what they're doing. maybe that's lost on Newsome and similar.

Wow. I haven't seen a pic rail gas block in a long time. That's definitely a shit-tier AR.

I remember an advertising trend/glut for aftermarket AR uppers, circa '00-'03; where bull-barrels, knurled alloy-pipe handguards, pic-rail gas blocks, and nutty twist-rates were definitely the way to go.

And speak of the devil, here's a tranny shooting one of those monstrosities (from the "Never ask permission" thread). I always wondered who bought those fucking things, besides cheap/autistic fudds.

At the risk of me being wrong because I actually never asked, I assume that the pipe handguards were a cheap way to make "free float" handguards and the railed gas blocks a way to take the front sight out of the way when using optics, all due to the influence of National Match ARs.

Sometimes the dongs are already cut in the parts kits (Romanian M63). I've had a few stocks with saw cuts in them near the tang area and butt plates with nail shaped dents.

You could always look for a Beretta ARX100

There is also the Galil ACE pistol.
My understanding is a folder isn't too difficult to attach.

I'm starting to sour on foregrips, at least in terms of aesthetics. The Romanian dong has never looked right to me, and that chunky Beretta Boi is fine without it.

Foregrips & dongs have always looked goofy, especially on AKs. I've ditched all mine for smaller wedges/knobs; after finding they're much better for working around & shooting off corners & ledges, while allowing for a larger variety of holds/hand positioning.

I passed on this one because it has too much of a "hook", but it was a tough call.

I also tried an angled foregrip once, and it hurt my wrist.
