news
News is packaged information about current events happening somewhere else; or, alternatively, news is that which the news industry sells. News moves through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, and electronic communication.
Common topics for news reports include war, politics, and business, as well as athletic contests, quirky or unusual events, and the doings of celebrities. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times.
Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news from elsewhere, which they satisfy by traveling and talking to each other. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper, which originated in China as a court bulletin and spread, with paper and printing press, to Europe.

So, the good news is my new 2x7 scope looks thru/past my MSR carbine front A2 fixed sight. Bad news is my low budget clunky rear flip up sits just a skosh too far forward to mount on the farthest back station and clear rear of scope.

Here we go again...first O'Reilly now Gretchen Carlson. This is a problem considering that these two Prime-Time on perhaps the largest cable news network are supposed to be "conservatives".

I haven't been keeping actual score nationwide, but it seems the gun control crowd have a renewed energy. I have no doubt this year is going to require more participation and organization than years past.
