      Old gun ID from pic

      Ok all you INGO historic gun folks, here's one that has stumped me and Google image search. The US soldier holding this appears to be wearing a uniform from about 1900 through 1915 or so. Unlikely to be cosplay, given how the pic was found. Also, could be either from training or a captured...

      Biden Popularity, part II (because part I was so fun)

      Ok party people in the house. Discussion of Biden Job Approval, as aggregated by RCP: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html He's still ~ +15%. Rasmussen was up to +3 and now down to a tie. No discussion of neanderthals eating pineapple on...

      Biden popularity

      So, branching off the earlier Trump Popularity thread, here's one on the RCP Job Approval aggregated metric for the POTUS. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html Interestingly, Trump started off with a -2 and never really went positive for any...

      Need INGO info dump on Marlin 336C in .30-30

      So, a family member acquired an early Christmas present in the form of a Marlin 336C in .30-30. Regarded as the family gun guy, I had to fake my way through some questions/answers, because I don't know diddly about lever guns. :) Got the SN and did the lookup thing and it apparently has a 1981...

      Howard Schultz, Starbucks former CEO, running for POTUS

      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47026374 Maybe. So, for the first time in years, I caught most of 60 Minutes. (It was REALLY good - like as good as the old days, before it got really bad.) They had an interview with this guy. Still really superficial, but said a bunch of the right...

      Nikki Haley resigning

      Breaking news, apparently. This could get bumpy. https://www.wthr.com/article/ap-sources-un-ambassador-haley-resigning I doubt it has anything really to do with the Kavanaugh thing, but the timing is... curious. ETA: Ambassador to the UN is a Senate-confirmation post. Very curious to see...

      Sometimes loaded guns are loaded

      https://www.wthr.com/article/authorities-man-fatally-shot-friend-playing-gun Friend pulled magazine from handgun, thought there was a disconnect. There wasn't. Well, there was a disconnect regarding safe handgun handling. Friend is now dead. Very sad.

      Suspension of gun rights

      So, let's say there's a proposal to suspend the 2A rights for people traitors who: try to cut back the gun rights of all Americans; join groups like Antifia or Occupy; or advocate retaliatory actions against Republicans based on their role in government. Should their 2A rights be suspended and...

      Bloomington MWAG reporting

      So, this morning the Indy news outlets were even reporting on this. https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/htonow/iu-police-man-with-handgun-reported-near-th-and-dunn/article_a61fd0fc-3403-11e8-bc65-97151b6f09a7.html IU police reporting MWAG report at 15th and Dunn.

      2018 World Cup (soccer) thread

      Even though the US isn't in it, there are lots of international soccer fans. Maybe even a few on INGO. ;) I saw part of a friendly between Mexico and Croatia last night. Mexico looked VERY disciplined and played well. They gave up a pk to Croatia in the second half that was a good call by...

      General Russian foreign entanglements thread

      Ok, sorry people, I just couldn't take using the "Russian Ambassador Shot" thread for this anymore, especially since it is broadening. I kinda don't care if this also captures the Russia Russia Russia stuff, but I'd prefer the emphasis to be on Russia's actions - not necessarily US suspicions...

      Austin, TX package bombs

      Sorry if I missed the thread about this. Its a dangerous, but kinda odd, thing. Deadly Texas parcel bomb attacks 'linked' - BBC News The sheer volume of packages being delivered at the home nowadays means that its almost impossible to ask people not to open stuff. Crazy times. (My gut...

      Trump and emoluments thread

      I think this came up back during the campaign, but I couldn't find an unlocked-thread on point. First, this news story: Trump Organization orders presidential seal replicas for golf courses: Report - ABC News A Trump golf course has, apparently, ordered Presidential Seal golf tee box markers...

      Black Panther: with spoilers thread

      Saw it tonight. REALLY REALLY GOOD. Thread title says spoilers, so don't read this unless you're prepared. There was only 1 "colonizer" reference that I thought was too much. It was also out of context. But, otherwise, I *really* like how they wove in the American "black experience"...

      BBC on what to do about school shootings

      There have been 11 US school shootings this year. Is it time to arm teachers? - BBC News Kinda not what I was expecting. :) They never actually ANSWER the question posed in the article. But, they spill a significant amount of pixels covering the actual movement towards arming teachers. Now...

      The value of the lifetime permit

      http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/pdf/11271701msm.pdf First, I think this is the shortest published decision I've ever seen. Second, how did this person not realize a lifetime permit is better. (Is he an INGOer?)

      [rant] Racist Film Tropes

      This idea of racist film tropes is pissing me off. Yeah, thought about putting this in the SJW thread, but I might actually be committing an act of SJWness with this. First, let's examine the "White Savior" trope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior_narrative_in_film It is considered...
