I haven't heard anything in particular about Kentucky Ballistics. His content doesn't interest me, but I haven't heard of anything objectionable. Demo Ranch (Matt?) is friends with a whoooooooooole lot of very questionable people. It seems to mostly stay out of his videos though.

There are a few that are decent people. Not a ton. But a few.

I like Ben Stoeger's stuff, because he largely keeps out of any culture war shit, and focuses on shooting better, and whatever the current USPSA bullshit it.

I dunno, maybe look him up on Instagram? He did an interview with Adminstrative Results (I've got his real name written down somewhere; he's a former cops) on YouTube where he came right out and said it, made a bunch of anti-semitic jokes, and then it went really downhill from there. He was at least smart enough to delete the comment where he was talking about the massive amounts of ILLEGAL ANABOLIC STEROIDS that he uses (since that's admitting to both a felony, and being a 'habitual illegal drug user'. both of which would ban him from owning firearms).

He's a christian nationalist, has called all trans people pedophiles, is homophobic, and is generally a shitbag. He surrounds himself with people that are overtly fascists.

True enough.

Better than we had when I lived in Illinois, where all the governors seem to end up as the target of federal investigations or prosecutions.

I know, right? I have one of their sanders, and while it's an absolutely amazing sander, the price was eye-watering, and the sanding discs are equally painful.

Oh, and i don't think that they make a plate joiner; I think they only do a domino joiner, which is even cooler.

No. When I take up a hobby, it's because I like the thing, not because it's cool, or different, or whatever.

I like guns, I like shooting, I enjoy going to competitions--even if I'm not very good--and I'd love it if I could get more people into it, even if they're 'gaming' competitions. (And make no mistake, there are a lot of people that do everything they can to game a competition stage, just to shave .2s off their time, or increase their hit factor by .1.) Yeah, it's expensive--I think I burned about $200 in ammunition I'd reloaded last weekend--and 'cheapening' it would make it much easier to practice more.

Ann Richards didn't manage to get a lot done though, did she? I wasn't super politically aware in the early 90s, but I was under the impression that Texas was pretty red back then too.

I use Kirkland dishwashing detergent; the new formulation is comparable to Dawn, at about half the price. The older, clear formulation was not quite as nice.

Or buy Festool.
