Amazing deeply-etched sculpted Death Tarot Card replacement grips by @Wicked_Grips made for an outstanding birthday present for my friend's Colt 1911 Model 70 .45 caliber! Wicked Grips also made the devilishly cool skull spring cap you see pictured. You really have to check out this incredibly talented artisan, Ed Strange, & his website www.WickedGrips.com. I also love their bas-relief, stainless steel skull Glock slide plate, that I have on several pistols. I'd love to get more for a Glock 43 & Gen5 if & when they become available so they all match. I'm really hoping the deep-etched/bas-relief replacement grip concept is a success, as I'd love to incorporate this amazing look to all my guns with replaceable grips & parts (i.e., Desert Eagle). Not that I am eager to give away my secrets as to how I have such unique looking firearms, but such talent deserves recognition & a hearty endorsement. 👍💀🔫🔧

"We love our shirts guys. 2A! "
Do hate gun grabbing liberal leftists? Wearing one of pro-gun shirts will p*ss them off.

This photo and others were taken by our friend Willie Stark, One-Million in Phoenix, AZ USA. Either Flickr or a Flickr member flagged the photo so that it cannot be posted to any group. We call that censorship. And we ask that Flickr remove the moderate from the photo. If a Flickr member flagged the photo, shame on them. If you're offended, go somewhere else. We're tired of people demanding that everything be the way they want it with no regard for an opposing view. Or in this case a guy taking pictures at a peaceful local event without any comment.
Not too noisy!
$25 eBay lens, diaphragm stuck wide open.
Check out the next image in my photostream for an unstacked, noisy version of this starfield.
Nikon D600 DSLR on tripod
Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 manual focus F-mount lens, set to infinity stop and shot wide open.
ISO 12,800 and 2 second exposure to minimize star trailing while capturing some fainter stars.
I shot 31 "light" frames, and a forgotten number of "dark" frames, all stacked together with Deep Sky Stacker to hide hot pixels and reduce quantum noise.
Shot in Big Valley, California, on a concrete slab next to our largest hot tub. Big Valley has dark skies, and plays host to the Golden State Star Party (GSSP) each year, about three miles from our Ranch.

People continue to bring flowers and tributes to place outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 people were killed on Feb. 14. Photo by Kathy L. Gilbert, UMNS
The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and most Americans' concerns about how to reduce the incidence and body count of such events has still proved a sad and disturbing holiday season blessing for those, like Academy Sports & Outdoors, who deal in the tools of such slaughter, and for the National Rifle Association, which uses member contributions to lobby for the manufacturers of and dealers in the instruments of carnage.
Lines (like the one above at my neighborhood Academy) quickly formed at counters of gun dealers and racks quickly emptied of assault weapons, large capacity magazines, and other tools of mass killing.
Here's hoping that 2013 brings at least the beginning of regulation of instruments of mass murder and a reduction in the obsession that some gun "enthusiasts" have for arms and accessories that are suitable neither for self defense nor for hunting and that only serve to maximize body counts. We all know that we won't be able to completely eliminate incidents like Newtown, but banning assault weapons and large capacity magazines may reduce the number of incidents and would certainly lower the body count.
We also need to have background checks and a waiting period for any sale of a firearm, including sales at gunshows and between individuals.
One of my hopes for year 2013 is that those folks who worry that the Second Amendment is somehow threatened get longer attention spans and discover that the second amendment contains twenty-seven words and that all of those words are important, not just the last fourteen, or the last four.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Definition: infringe: defeat, violate, frustrate, transgress
A visit to the gun department of Academy or a few moments within hearing of a gun range make clear that the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" has not been defeated, violated, frustrated, or transgressed. The body count in killings using guns makes clear that the gun situation in America is a long way from being "well regulated" and that America's gun owners do not, in any way, represent a "well regulated militia".
