Shall not be infringed!!!

I’m very proud to be an American, but California is not a free state. I know many of you couldn’t care less about the 2nd Amendment, but I do. My constitutional rights are being infringed and no one seems to care about it.

Now, I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but like it or not, I enjoy shooting. It’s fun and owning a firearm adds an extra layer of protection for me and my family. But this state has taken all that away from me.

Forget the restrictions on which handgun I can purchase, how often I can purchase a firearm, or the fact that I have to wait ten days to take home a firearm I’ve purchase, whether it’s my first gun or my 100th. Add in the fact that for the past five years I haven’t been allowed to ship ammunition to my home, I can’t have a functioning magazine release in my AR-15s, and I can’t purchase magazines that hold more than ten rounds.

As if that wasn’t enough, California passed a law that went into effect on the first of this year that prevents me from shipping to my home, ANYTHING that attaches to my firearms. I can’t buy a barrel, stock, trigger, safety selector, not even a magazine coupler. How in anyway can this be considered legal?

Why aren’t people losing their shit over this?

Imagine if they put these sorts of restrictions on your right to free speech. There is no difference here! The 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right, but yet it’s treated as such. The California legislature knows they are passing laws that violate our rights, but they also know they control the courts and can tie up our appeals for literally decades.

And the worst thing about all this… There’s not a damn thing I can do to change anything.

Although the Supreme Court has finally agreed to take up a few key cases, we won’t see any judgment for another year, and then California will again defy the Supreme Court and enact more legislation to impede our rights even further.

I love this state and the area where I live, but I’m done with all this mess. I’m looking forward to our time traveling away from this state and seeing what the other states have to offer.

Wow, so much fun!

Not sure why this film is bombing at the theater, but If you’re looking for a super fun time, please go check out Masters of the Universe.

As a He-Man fan, I found this movie to be a great version, similar to the original animated cartoons. But you don’t have to be a fan to enjoy this movie. Jared Leto is incredible as Skeletor and steals the show.

So, if you’re on the fence, please give it a try. I bet you won’t regret it!

Watch on Amazon Prime

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica!

William had waged a long and weary war against the local bear community after far too many mornings of waking up to his garbage can looking like it had hosted a bear rave. He was forced to take matters into his own hands when he marched outside with a drill, a box of nuts and bolts, and a grim determination of a man who’d lost one too many pizza boxes to the woods.

With a satisfied grunt, he drilled holes through the heavy plastic lid and fastened it down tight with heavy-duty nuts and bolts. As he stepped back to admire his handiwork, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Try getting in now, you furry dumpsters with legs!” he yelled at the empty trees. Only time—and the midnight scavenging hour—would tell if his mechanical masterpiece would finally end the great bear-garbage conflict.

I little long, but fun video staring our local hooligan.

Well, there ya go… while we’re changing stuff…

We picked up some fancy LG products including a new dish washer which was supposed to be our Christmas gift to each other. Yes, it took us that long to pick one up.

I already got the washer a dryer hooked up, but I’ve never swapped out a dishwasher so I’ll probably wait until the weekend to tackle that.

These things have all kinds of electronical features that I never knew I needed. Apparently, the washer will communicate with the dryer to let it know what to expect. Sounds kinda bossy to me, but I hope they both get along well. The last thing I want to do when I get home is have to arbitrate a disagreement between the two.

Is it strange that we paid nearly 1K less for all three items including the pedestals for the washer and dryer, than the old set we bought 20 years ago?
