Definitely a useful tool, provided it is kept up to date!
At the rate things change over even a short period of time, it’s essential that these sources are kept “up to the minute” up to date.

Skipped out?

Some people have had moderate success with soaking in acetone or MEK, (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide). It’ll take a while if it works and won’t do well on non metallic parts. Those compounds dissolve plastics.
Follow the handling instructions on these solvents religiously!

It’s a start…

You shouldn’t even be able to make a story like this up! It should be impossible!!
When the cretins are put back in the population, it should be required that they live with the individuals who come up with this garbage!!

Being the NUMBER ONE source of disinformation within the narrative, these people and organizations should take the advice of Archie Bunker and “STIFLE YOURSELVES!!”

Feeling some better this morning. Still heavy chest congestion but it’s clearing up gradually.
Gotta try to get better control over it ‘cause the grandson stays with us this weekend.

Here’s a brief summary of the American possession of the Phillippines:
The Philippines was a territory of the United States from 1898 to 1946, acquired following the Spanish-American War and recognized as independent on July 4, 1946. Known as the American colonial period, it functioned as an unincorporated territory (Insular Government) until it became a self-governing Commonwealth in 1935, aimed at transitioning to full sovereignty.
Key Aspects of U.S. Rule (1898–1946)
Acquisition: Spain ceded the Philippines to the U.S. for $20 million via the 1898 Treaty of Paris.
Conflict: The Philippines-American War (1899–1902) followed, where Filipino nationalists sought independence.Governance: The U.S. implemented an Insular Government (1899-1935) and later a Commonwealth (1935-1946) to prepare for independence.
Independence: On July 4, 1946, the U.S. formally recognized the Republic of the Philippines as an independent nation through the Treaty of Manila.
Lasting Influence: The US left a significant impact on education, government systems, and high English proficiency in the Philippines.
Why it didn't become a State
Distance & Politics: The Philippines was distant, with a large population and, according to historians, many in the U.S. were against integrating a foreign population.
Desired Independence: Filipinos continuously fought for sovereignty, not incorporation.
Fillipinos were considered “non citizen American nationals”. They could not serve as jurors or vote in federal elections, but could travel freely in all parts of the country and could work and live anywhere in the US without permits or visas.
American Samoa is one current example of this type of personal status.

Probably a passing fad!

Schoolmarm always has a bottle of wine, (which I won’t drink) and Hatfield will occasionally bring in a bottle of Beam.
I don’t keep it around ‘cause I seldom ever want it!

Take your last two points and read them carefully!!
This is the reason for Beretta’s takeover attempt in glaring neon lights!
Ruger holds rights to several designs and at least one brand name besides their own that Beretta would dearly love to own!!
The “AGREEMENT “ is just a tactic to forestall the takeover long enough to get their restructure completed and regain better control over their own future.
NOTE: Remington suffered this sort of thing several years ago and when the dust settled, Remington was bankrupt and those responsible for the takeover had paid off all of their own debts with the assets they took from Remington!! They then sold off what was left in pieces and pocketed that money too!
It used to be called “corporate piracy”!

An old logging road that was paved about two dozen years ago and a pig path that the built a subdivision on!

There has been NO INDICATION of Ruger being in financial difficulty.
Beretta had been quietly buying shares of Ruger stock for the sole purpose of instituting a hostile takeover.
Someone tipped off the folks at Ruger and they set out to foil the attempt. Beretta then published a letter saying that they felt that Ruger was underperforming in a further attempt to acquire proxy votes to complete their attack.
This “AGREEMENT“ is the result of the conflict!
Beretta, in this case, is nobody’s “White Knight”

It WOULD be better if these changes were codified by legislation. Better yet, they need to be settled in the judiciary!
None the less, they are indeed wins for our side!!
