    Agreed. 2 is the clear winner of this heat, despite the bad handle. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. All of their handles are lousy.

    5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.

    Here is the perfect fork:
















  • Irrelevant to the issue at hand: Even private sales are prohibited between residents of different states unless the sale is conducted through an FFL dealer in the buyer’s/recipient’s state.

    But to answer your question: Very few states restrict private sales beyond federal requirements.

    The only viable means of being able to reliably prosecute private sales to prohibited persons is to make NICS checks available, freely and anonymously, to the general public. With such checks readily and freely available, sellers cannot reasonably argue that they “didn’t know” someone was a prohibited buyer. With those checks available, “I didn’t know” is no longer exculpatory evidence. With those checks available, you can reasonably know their status; you should know their status; your failure to check is evidence of criminal negligence.

    But every time “Public Access to NICS” has been proposed in the past 20+ years, Democratic leadership stops it, because it conflicts with their “no guns for anyone” ideology.



  • Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.

    So It’s morally superior for me to be the one driving to the shop, polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic, taking up a parking spaces?

    There’s 20 families on my block. If the 20 of us got together and agreed that only one of us should drive to the store every day, picking up everything that we collectively needed and distributing it to us, you’d be praising us for reducing our impact.
