Op-ed: Ammunition background check disaster in California

When the California Legislature enacted an ammunition background check law in 2016, they said it would be convenient and easy for law-abiding gun owners to go through the check.

The state had three years to develop the regulations for carrying out background checks.

So what happened? The state finalized the regs literally the week before the law went into effect last summer, and did such a bad job on them that literally tens of thousands of ammo purchases by law-abiding gun owners have been rejected.

Videos: How to pluck a duck, how to recycle duck-plucking wax

I've got two new videos in my series about processing ducks: how to pluck a duck cleanly (no-wax method), and how to recycle duck plucking wax. Why would you have duck plucking wax to recycle? Well, you can see why in another (much older) video about waxing ducks. Why would you want to wax a duck? Because it does a really good job of getting rid of down.

But for those who don't want to deal with the time and mess of wax, the method in the first video comes awfully close.
