Firearms x Culture
What if you didn’t have to ball on a budget? What would you build? Most of us when we build a rifle are always prioritizing what is important in the rifle build. We can usually splurge here or there on certain parts of the build. You might spend a little extra cash on the barrel, trigger, or BCG. You always look to make a highly optimized rifle but, it doesn’t have that full touch of complete. At, least I have that feeling during a build.
Yesterday, I read an article from USA Today which states, San Francisco, declares NRA a ‘domestic terrorist organization’ in resolution. When I read this headline. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I honestly thought it was fake news.
Many would tell you the pen is mightier than the sword. In many ways the written word is a deadly adversary. A pen is the tool of a writer and of a creative mind. Upon paper a writer let’s us into their imagination, hopes, dreams, and fears.
The actions taken by Mr. Attey are ill conceived and reckless at minimum and are dangerous and incendiary at their height. His actions at that Wal-Mart does nothing to advance the conversation about violence in this nation. His actions only seek to further entrench the political divide that exists in this nation.
Lately, I have been thinking about what makes a good rifle build? Is it the quality of the parts? Is it about buying from established companies? Or is it about buying the top tier products in every part of your build?
One person might tell you to buy quality parts. My grandfather would say, “Buy quality cause you know it will last.” I do believe that to be true when purchasing goods. Putting good quality parts into your build you know it will give you the longevity you are looking for.
Recently, I was looking for ways to expand my content to reach more readers on Obsidian Concepts. I want to create engaging and fun content for readers to enjoy and bring in new readers from different perspectives.
Yesterday, afternoon a 21-year old man decided to walk into a Wal-Mart in El Paso, TX with an AK-47 and evil intent in his heart. With a calm and ruthless demeanor he begins to shoot indiscriminately into a busy crowd of shoppers. Killing 20 and injuring 26 in the deadly aftermath of his shooting.
What’s up everyone? I hope everyone had a great weekend with family and friends. It’s been a minute since I posted an article just talking about my thoughts. I thought this was a prefect time to give you a little bit of insight into my noggin again.
Having the opportunity to build a custom pistol from the ground up is pretty interesting in my book. This potential project had even greater intrigue because you can use high quality Zev parts for the complete build.
Obsidian Concepts is nothing more than a passion project for me. It has been in my mental space for years now and it is finally out and about. I understand that it is completely in its infancy at the time I am writing this post.
