Illinois legislators want to ban gun advertising for “assault weapons” and to kids, citing as an example the ads for JR-15 youth rifles (it’s a lookalike AR-15 chambered in .22 LR. What we would have formerly called a training rifle.)<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the ads I\u2019ve seen are just stomach-turning,” Don Harmon, of Oak Park, who sponsored the legislation.<\/p>\n

The ad for the JR-15, a smaller, lighter .22-caliber rifle, was among them. An emailed statement from the manufacturer, Wee 1 Tactical, said the gun has safety features found on no other gun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe JR-15 .22 youth training rifle is for adults who wish to supervise the safe introduction of hunting and shooting sports to the next generation of responsible gun owners,” the statement said. AP<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looks to me like it’s marketing at the PARENTS of kids. But we all know the libs claim to want gun safety – then do everything they can to subvert it. I’m starting to lose count of the amendments they keep trying to violate.<\/p>\n

Boston reports an electric car fire that burned…was doused…restarted…drowned again…etc.<\/p>\n

According to Wareham Fire, the blaze appeared to have started spontaneously, as the car had already been charged.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this vehicle had been parked in a garage the results could have been disastrous. Additionally, electric vehicle fires are difficult to fight and present unique challenges,\u201d Incident Commander Chief John Kelley said.\u00a0 Boston 25 News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In all, took 11,000 gallons of gas<\/del> water to put it out.\u00a0\u00a0 Call it a good chunk of a home swimming pool for ONE car fire.<\/p>\n

I have seen seemingly hundreds of articles lately on huge energy breakthroughs – recyclable batteries made with shellfish chitin, sand batteries, cooler\/longer-lasting batteries from damn near anything – reminds me of a few years ago when some guy was claiming to hydrolyze seawater with radio rays for inexhaustible free hydrogen – don’t think they mentioned the energy consumption required to generate those mega-radio rays. But yeah, I think if I paid for an e-car I would be unhappy if I had to park the thing in the driveway to keep from burning the garage and house down. (Disclaimer – I like the concept of electric cars a lot. But early market samples have been – disappointing.)<\/p>\n

Let’s close on a good note. Remember folks getting fired for not getting vaccinated?<\/p>\n

Massachusetts State Police must reinstate seven troopers who refused to be vaccinated for COVID-19, an independent arbitrator has ruled. The troopers have been on unpaid leave, but the arbitrator\u2019s decision means they can return to work with retroactive pay if they choose.<\/p>\n

The arbitrator concluded State Police violated a collective bargaining agreement in the way they handled the cases of eight troopers who cited religious grounds for refusing to take the vaccine. The agency summarily dismissed the troopers instead of reviewing their accommodation requests, the arbitrator said Friday.\u00a0 Boston-25 again<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two years’ back pay…suh-weet.<\/p>\n
