PS90 Accessorized

FN PS90 with side rail by Promoted Pawn, SureFire P6 LED, and SureFire M79 flashlight mount. Yes, that's only a 10 round magazine, because I live in repressed NY state.


Promoted Pawn sells mil-spec side rails for $25 a pop. Compared to FN at $89 a pop, or CMMG at $89 a pair, it's a pretty damn good deal.

5.7x28mm WOLF ammunition

To lay all of the Internet rumors to rest, I contacted WOLF ammunition by email to ask if they planned on producing 5.7x28mm ammunition in the foreseeable future. This is their reply, dated January 5th, 2009:

Dear Jeremy,

There are no plans on producing this caliber in the foreseeable future.

Sincerely,

WOLF Ammunition

There you have it folks. The future of cheaper 5.7x28mm ammo for your P90 or FsN is bleak.

Massachusetts: Small amounts of Pot no longer criminal

Small Amounts Of Pot No Longer Criminal
New Law Takes Effect

BOSTON -- A new state law that says it is no longer a
criminal offense in Massachusetts to possess a small amount of marijuana went
into effect on Friday.
Survey: Agree With
Pot Decriminalization Law? Discuss: New Pot Law
A referendum, approved by voters in November,
makes possession of less than an ounce of marijuana a civil offense with a $100
fine.
Existing laws that prohibit distributing marijuana or operating a
motor vehicle under its influence remain unchanged.
Supporters of the law
say it will spare thousands from having a criminal record, which can make it
harder to get a job, student loan or gain access to public housing. They also
said it will save taxpayers $30 million in costs associated with marijuana
arrests.
But critics said marijuana is a gateway drug and the law could lead
to more drug use among young people.
Under the new law, anyone under 18
caught with an ounce or less of marijuana must complete a drug awareness course
or face a $1,000 fine. Parents or legal guardians will also be notified.
As
the law takes effect, state officials are urging cities and towns to ban public
pot smoking, similar to public drinking ordinances.
Massachusetts is the
12th state in the country to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of
marijuana.

Well, at least Mass. is on the right path. Someday maybe we will all come to our senses and stop persecuting people for their lifestyle choices and stop forcing our morals down everyones throats. Maybe.

Gaza happenings

In case you live under a rock (I know many people apparently do), HERE is what is going on in parts of the Middle East.

Senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar speaks, and like a 5 year old uses ridiculous logic to justify his organization's attacks on Israel. Well, we shot rockets into their cities to harm civilians and Israel fired back, aiming at military targets but killing the civilians we used as human shields. Therefore, we were justified in attacking them in the first place.

Huh?

In other news, undereducated Americans protested Israel's retributive strikes by chanting "Free, Free Palestine" in major U.S. cities. Apparently they didn't understand that Hamas attacked Israel and started the whole shebang, and that there really are no Palestinians to free.

You want to make up some Palestinians to free? How about you protest Hamas using the citizens of Gaza as human shields. Protest the fact that some immature and borderline retarded people cannot let go of their hatred and prejudice and live and let live, and therefore cause death and destruction to be visited upon their own people.

Me? I'm all for Israel defending itself by aggressively seeking out and eliminating threats. In fact, I think that if the U.S. followed this policy instead of embroiling itself in stupid wars that have nothing to do with National Security, we might be a bit more popular with the rest of the world, and we might stop adding entire groups of people to our list of detractors.

Mmmm, toys...

Yes, those are World of Warcraft miniatures, along with other assorted toys. Mostly from video games. :D I got a lot of those WoW minis for Christmas, and rather than spend hundreds of dolars looking for the ones I wanted by buying $15 booster packs, I went to Starcitygames.com and bought them as singles, for a total of $34. The cost of two random booster packs of 3 figures each netted me 12 figures I needed. Ah, internet, how I love thee.

Finally, my dream gun is mine! FN PS-90 5.7x28mm

Never thought I'd have the money for one. My wife and I got some money from an inheritance, and then I couldn't find one for a reasonable price anywhere. (Thank you, people who fearmonger and intentionally skyrocket your prices to make a buck.) At the last minute, I found one an hour away in PA for a pre-freak-out-about-the-president price. (And in time to get the rebate from FNH, yeah!)

Of course, since I live in New York state, I can't have a magazine over 10 rounds, so I am forced to wait for some 10 round magazines I purchased online to try my new toy out.

A big thank to Chris at Advanced Arms in Pittston, PA for holding this gun and not being a price gouging douche! (And thanks for the super deal on the Surefire P6 LED flashlight!)

Ah, Christmas!

Yes, peace on earth, goodwill towards men, and headaches from in-laws. Ah, Christmas.
Blatant consumerism, violence over toys, and gallons of alcohol. Ah, Christmas.
Trees and bows, candy and cartoons, snow and...well, no snow. Ah, Christmas.

It's sad, really, but my favorite part of Christmas comes today: I get to go home.
