Metal X Works: Safety
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/05/safety.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. We are hearing a lot in the news about accidents with firearms. Since I have not looked at the statistics, I don't know if we are having more or that the press is promoting it more. There is also the Facebook affect. As folks on all sides of every argument seek out articles to prove their point. Sigh. I am very disappointed that Facebook has not become a place for informed discussion as I had hoped it would be. This will be another blog discussion. If you put your firearm down anywh...

Metal X Works: Assault Rifle is a Word Like Drinkability
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/01/assault-rifle-is-word-like-drinkability.html
Friday, January 18, 2013. Assault Rifle is a Word Like Drinkability. In the news we keep hearing about assault rifles with the only definition as being an AR 15 or an AK 47. The cry is to get rid of those two models of firearms and then.like magic we are safe. Not so. The picture to the left is an AK 47. Depending on the type of magazine, it can hold 30 rounds of ammunition. Take away the large capacity magazine, you have a rifle with a pistol-grip. ANY firearm can be use in a mass murder. When I go up n...

Metal X Works: Shooting Tips for Divas
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2012/02/shooting-tips-for-divas.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Shooting Tips for Divas. After my first tournament, I have some tips for Divas:. Do not wear earrings that you don't want to lose. Taking the headgear off and on is too cumbersome and frequent to watch over earrings. Better yet, DO NOT wear earrings, they hurt under the headset. But first survey the other shooters to decide if the pain is worth it. Keep the nail on your trigger finger short enough to easily slide into the trigger guard. Bring polish for quick repairs. Our goals...

Metal X Works: What is the difference between a firearms competition and a video war game?
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-is-difference-between-firearms.html
Monday, February 11, 2013. What is the difference between a firearms competition and a video war game? This past weekend was the Texas Carbine's. Annual Pirates of Texas Championship Carbine. Match in Corpus Christi, Texas. The Texas Carbine members volunteer countless hours to set up fun stages where we have to do acrobatics to shoot. At the end of this post is a video of last year's shoot. The only casualty is the zombie pirate eating what is left of a worn out volunteer's brain. The reality of the pow...

Metal X Works: Our Responsibilities to Our Household Members
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/01/our-responsibilities-to-our-household.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. Our Responsibilities to Our Household Members. Everyone is concerned with mass shootings, and they should be, but when you look at the figures of gun incidents, the number of accidental shootings far out number those injured or killed in mass shootings. We need to be more vigilant to protect the loved ones in our household and our guests. The other day, the New York Times wrote an article, Selling a New Generation on Arms. When you go to a range or a competition there are safety...

Metal X Works: Who are these people who love firearms?
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/01/who-are-these-people-who-love-firearms_4.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. Who are these people who love firearms? This is the sixth in a series of posts informing folks about what is so much in the press, how to deter the mass murders we have been experiencing in the U.S. It is not an argument for or against gun control; just explanations of terms we hear in the press that are not clearly defined. Collectors collect in various ways. Firearms hold their value. And even go up in price over the years. Many collectors invest in firearms like other folk...

Metal X Works: Small Businesses in Your Town are Struggling!
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/02/small-businesses-in-your-town-are.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Small Businesses in Your Town are Struggling! There is one very important stakeholder that is struggling as the effects of the firearms debate continues. These are the small businesses in everyone's town that are not able to obtain firearms, ammunition, parts and accessories. This is killing their business and they are the good folks that put firearm safety first and follow the laws. Without ammunition gun ranges cannot stay in business. Gun ranges are the new bowling alley.

Metal X Works: Back in Business Writing the Diva's Blog
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2015/01/back-in-business-writing-divas-blog.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. Back in Business Writing the Diva's Blog. Hey, it has been awhile. I've been busy and I bet you have also. I think that most of you will agree with me that working for a living takes too much precious time away from really important life activities. If you are afraid of failure, working on guns is not for you. You have plenty of opportunities to fail, but way more. Opportunities to learn, excel and succeed. You cannot believe what you learn about a firearm's inner workings whe...

Metal X Works: Media Delight: Conspiracy Theories and Other Melicious Misinformation
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/01/media-delight-conspiracy-theories-and.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. Media Delight: Conspiracy Theories and Other Melicious Misinformation. The Newtown shootings were a hoax. A conspiracy for the government to take away our guns. Right. Give me a break. The source or catalyst for the conspiracy seems to be a tenured faculty member at Florida Atlantic University. This hitting the news now is so wrong in so many ways. Why what he says is not valid research or knowledge that can be repeated as fact or truth. Working for a university as a tenured pro...

Metal X Works: I Hate Horders
http://metalxworksdivas.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-hate-horders.html
Tuesday, January 22, 2013. OK you ammo Horders, this is not funny! I can kinda understand a run on AR and AK ammo, but - give me a break! Because Horders are thoughtlessly buying out everything they see on a shelf, ammo is in short supply. This buying frenzy has allowed manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers and dealers to raise prices of all ammo. We are narrowing the debate all by ourselves. Who gets first dibs on what supplies are available? So, if you are hording ammo, take it to a range, gun classes,...
