• US Passport

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to Aaron Thomas on Thu Jan 22 15:06:00 2026
    My daughter's US passport expired a few weeks back. She turns 16 this June so I'll wait until then to renew it... Mainly because I can save 10 bucks and I can get it for 10 Years instead of 5.

    I have convinced her that she needs to log a few hours in at the gun range in order for me to get he US passport.

    Trump's new rules.

    So, we go to the gun range soon. HAHAHAHA... I don't have a small 22 cal around, so 9mm it is.

    I'll send pics of the event some time later.

    She had 0 interest in guns...

    If there's anything that Japanese Anime has taught me, it's that allowing girls to have guns is dangerous. Funny, but dangerous.

    I bet she loves it in the D.R. Bavaro Beach is great.

    You're doing a great thing for your kid. Guns for my wife and kids are on my long-term shopping list. I don't think there's a shooting range in my town though. Everyone just fires their guns off in the neighborhood :(

    I have slightly more than an acre of land (1.09) up north near Watertown. Is that enough land for any target practice? It looks like it's all just open land in the back of the property (no houses or anything.)

    So, we go to the gun range soon. HAHAHAHA... I don't have a small 22
    cal around, so 9mm it is.

    I'm reading up on this now and the only shooting range in my whole town is "The Binghamton Rifle Club" and their membership fees are pretty steep! Membership is $135 "with $5 dues and a $10 key fob."

    Does this sound typical to you? I don't really understand it.

    Baby steps... Recall the shooter, few months back, that was shooting elected officials in Minnesota... During his arrest he said Tampon put
    him up to the shooting. He was going to run for office in the Senate because of the culling.

    Strange how stories like that get buried and nothing is investigated about it.

    Tampon has since claimed that he's not going to run for office... Amy Klobuchar, the current Senator, is running for Governor and there is nothing stopping her form appointing Tampon.

    I don't think the Gov can appoint a senator except under special conditions.

    Besides Tampon Tim will have a hard time serving from prison.

    BTW, the shooter has requested to talk with the FBI on the matter.

    And he's still alive. Interesting.


    ... Careful. I know Karate and a few other foreign words.

    You still can depending on the school. When I was in public school, they didn't offer firearms training. But they did have archery. Today, many
    of the "useful" classes are effectively banned in school. But in some areas, they offer firearms training in school.

    You can still do that. That's common in da U.P. of Michigan.



    This is on topic, guns, but you'll need a little tinfoil for your head on
    this one.

    One of the things I consistently study up on is Gun Porn. Love listening to what lawyers have to say about the Constitution and laws related to the 2nd Amendment.

    Anyway I follow this guy...

    The Andrew Branca Show
    He writes books and has a channel and fights in court for 2A clients.

    Link to what I saw... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6JKGTWgBCA&list=WL&index=1

    So, in listening to this video I was reminded about the guys gun... He has a Sig P320 handgun.

    Sig Sauer is a great manufacturer but this gun... Sig P320 has been know to accidentally discharge.

    This is known. There are police departments that stopped using them for this reason.

    Why its not fixed yet is beyond me... Anyway... It was funny how this lawyer brought up this guns fault.

    Apparently, this part is now under investigation, and more will come I'm sure.

    Apparently his gun might have "Misfired" and the sound of the misfire sparked Agents pumping 10 rounds in him.

    He's still at fault... The Supreme court has ruled on this... they use what a reasonable person, cop, would do.

    The second he through himself in to the mix with a gun during a lawful police event... and then started to resist... You're pretty much toast.

    Joey Jones from Fox describes it best.... https://youtube.com/shorts/rI8yXqteA90?si=wZ6nVITZp7I-I280

    All of this is moot because they have found Signal Chat messages exposing all the nasty things going on in Minnesota.

    The Signal Chat group has/had Democrat State officials, one as high as the Lieutenant Governor and other elected and some trying to get elected. There are 1000s of people in that chat group, if I recall there is ~5000 people.

    They might have martyred Pretti to spark outrage.

    If you can carry a gun do so... But if you do so it is incumbent for you to follow the law and do not put yourself in a position where your carry becomes unlawful and causes your death.

    Because it's one of the ways the Left will split hairs and do mental gymnastics to show that their side were the "good guys" and ICE was the "bad guys". Know thy enemy.

    Yup. But you know that the Left will do whatever it takes to show otherwise.

    Smells like insurrection to me. All those officials are now guilty of treason.

    They might have martyred Pretti to spark outrage.

    That's what the Left does. That's why they like homeless people. That's why they shut down the insane asylums. They want cannon fodder for their Narrative Machine.

    If you can carry a gun do so... But if you do so it is incumbent for
    you to follow the law and do not put yourself in a position where your carry becomes unlawful and causes your death.

    Exactly. As 2A people on X have been saying: You have the right. But you also have the responsibility.

    But the Left doesn't like responsibility and tries to avoid it like the plague.

    Yup, and the rest of the organizers for the "protest" too.

    I think the Left is getting a lesson in "You don't get to set the rules" today.

    Will they learn anything from it? Probably not.

    I was listening to this the other day. If Amy Klobuchar wins Governor of the State she'll appoint Tampon to her old seat. There is nothing stopping her from doing that.

    The system is sick... We need some whistle blowers, not like Monica Lewinsky, but some that can help us get to the bottom of all the fraud.

    Maybe over 1/2 our debt has been fraudulently taken from the tax payers... Never mind paying for all these endless wars...

    There is soooooooooooo much in the hopper right now. I heard that the shooter is talking to the feds on the what's what.

    When he was caught he was talking about how Tampon put him up to the shootings so that he can create a seat for him to get.

    I am not sure if Tampon will remain free, I hope anyway.


    I don't think the Gov can appoint a senator except under special conditions.

    Besides Tampon Tim will have a hard time serving from prison.


    Amy just won her seat again... If she becomes Governor in November she can appoint someone to fill her vacancy. They say Tampon, I think its too late for him. Tampon would occupy that seat and then run for re-election or a special election.

    Tampon is becoming soooooooooooo toxic that I'm sure they'll appoint someone other than Tim.

    BTW, My Pillow Mike Lindell is running under the Republican banner. There is hope for the state.


    And he's still alive. Interesting.
