  1. Correct me if I'm wrong but PICA has nothing to do with NFA regulated 'rocket launchers' that contrary to her lie can be legally owned in several free states...
  2. Just for conversation's sake, doesn't that all boil down to a means-end argument that Heller/Bruen has mooted as justification to infringe upon the 2nd's right to self-defense?
  3. This ruling was based on Ohio law, but I would suggest that Heller/Bruen's "history and tradition" would mandate the same even for brandishing... https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2024/03/08/ohio-supreme-court-says-warning-shots-count-as-self-defense-n1224127
  4. Yeah they are cool, I'm kind of surprised that a niche market for reloaders has not spawned as it would be a cool way for reloaders (especially the bigger ones) to brand their reloads...
  5. I was not talking about serialization I was talking about a potential law limiting manufacturers from imprint stamping the head of the bullets and instead being forced to laser etch or something else as to leave a clean smooth surface for breech imprinting...
  6. I would suspect if they mandate breech stamping they will manate the manufacturers do their stamping within a certain radius leaving a clean area for breech stamping, or mandate the manufactues laser etch vs stamp... Just like I would think they would mandate primers be flat surfaced and not patterned that was actually a thing at one time https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/primer-markings/38791
  7. The primary microstamping push is for the firing pin to leave an imprint on the primer, but there is also breech face microstamping that would stamp the head of the casing both seen in the attached photo...
  8. I'm 100% betting in all the testing they never 'tested' how effective 5 minutes with one of these was at defeating the 'viable means'...
  9. The Democratic legal geniuses are the core problem, they honestly believe in their warped alternative reality, they preach this alternative reality to their followers like gospel and the followers believe it hook, line and sinker... The media is also all too happy to spread this alternative reality on behalf of the 'legal geniuses' and preach it as gospel... And BAM when they are told they are dunces living an alternate reality their entire bubble explodes putting them in a state of panic as they try ti re-inflate it... Reading the Democrats and Left on social media today literally hurts my brain, they really are disconnected from reality and I would argue many of them are clinically il with some kind of (TDS) psychosis...
  10. And hope one works 🤣 On the subject of fingerprints, about 10 years ago a hacker proved that he could defeat a fingerprint scanner by simply looking at photos of someone's thumb and building a fake thumb... He apparently browsed stock photos of a German official, and was able to get enough detail from those photos to reconstruct her fingerprint in 'photoshop' then using whatever technique he made a fake finger with her print and at some public event challenged her that he could unlock her phone, she gave permission and his fake finger opened her phone... Pretty much shows how insecure fingerprints are overall because people generally don't hide their fingerprints, they leave them all over the place and I'll bet that with a little surveillance, you could get enough photos to do what this guy did or simply lift a print or two... Ironicaly you might even be able to lift the fingerprint from the safe itself in some cases 🤣
  11. The cheap stuff certainly weighs heavily, especially in cheap safes like this, but the tech is still a problem... The 'better' fingerprint scanners are now about 99.9% accurate against false positives aka unauthorized access when properly setup and configured (they can still be hacked) but the bigger issue that they don't talk about is the high rate of false negatives, aka the rejection rate of legit users... The more secure and accurate you make a fingerprint lock the more times legit users are going to be rejected it's a catch-22 flaw in the tech itself since fingerprints are 'living' and not static...
  12. I just installed a smart lock on the house, it's really fingerprint-fussy so kind of a good thing IMO but I can see others being totally turned off by the high number of 'no go' attempts... For the door lock I installed, I have found that during programming if you rest your hand on the handle in a locked orientation and press the fingerprint button constantly in the same orientation (contrary to the instructions that say to scan the tip and sides and such) and then when you try to open hold your hand in the same position and orientation it works 100% better, but I would never depend on just the fingerprint working, it also uses RFID badges, Bluetooth to an app, keypad entry and even has an old school key... The fingerprint is just a convenience since I set it to autolock and I like the high rejection rate over the alternative...
  13. I think Mark Smith is right, there has to be a point and it has to be close where the SCOTUS has simply had enough of the inferior courts snubbing their nose at the higher court, and if another ruling doesn't do it then the SCOTUS needs to essentially form letter strike and remand every 2nd petition to them right back to the lower courts until they get it right...
  14. I won't argue that, but it sounds like these were extra insecure and the fingerprint system could easily be defeated... IMO fingerprint locks are the most annoying thing in the world, if you actually 'work' with your hands they become nearly unusable due to the abuse your finger skin takes... And as I suspect happened here, they lowered the 'match' criteria so low as to make them open more often reliably that it became nearly useless at distinguishing unique fingerprints and was basically just one step up from a touch button...
