Count on Misrepresentation on Social Media

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-07-18T22:21:00Z

7/18/25 DOJ press announces a program for non-violent felons to request relief from firearms disability:
"The proposed rule will provide citizens whose firearm rights are currently under legal disability with an avenue to restore those rights, while keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals and illegal aliens. Ultimate discretion to grant relief will remain with the Attorney General, and she will exercise that discretion on a case-by-case basis in light of all available facts and evidence that bear on an individual’s application. But absent extraordinary circumstances, violent felons, registered sex offenders, and illegal aliens, in particular, will remain presumptively ineligible for relief."

I expect the same crowd that wants convicted ex-felons (even violent ex-felons) to get back voting rights will have a sissy fit.

She Has Documents; Just Not Hers

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-07-18T22:09:00Z

7/27/25 CBS channel 2:
"BOISE, Idaho — Lina Marcela Ospina Isaza, a 24-year-old from Bucaramanga, Colombia, has been sentenced to time served, approximately two months, for the false use of a Social Security number, Acting U.S. Attorney Justin D. Whatcott announced. U.S. District Court Judge Amanda K. Brailsford waived the fine and special assessment due to Isaza’s likely deportation. Isaza pleaded guilty on June 10, 2025....

"Isaza provided an address in Massachusetts and was instructed to update her address with the Department of Homeland Security within five days if she moved. Instead, she relocated to Boise, where she purchased a fraudulent Social Security card and a fraudulent legal permanent resident card. She presented both to a Boise hotel in April 2024 to obtain employment and signed an I-9 form containing the fraudulent Social Security card number. She later changed jobs, using the same fraudulent Social Security card to secure new employment at a downtown Boise hotel in May 2024."

Not such a victim now, is she?

What happens when an illegal alien uses someone else's number?  IRS, if they do their job well, as they did for us several years ago, figures it out.  If not your taxes rise because of the wages you did not receive but upon which you still owe income taxes.   I suspect this will not be a major financial problem but lots of time talking to IRS resolving this will not be pleasant.

Something encouraging in the article:
"For employers, the Department of Homeland Security increased civil penalties for Immigration Reform and Control Act violations on January 2, 2025. The new civil penalty for knowingly hiring, recruiting, referring, or retaining unauthorized aliens was increased to a maximum fine of $5,724 per unauthorized alien for a first offense and up to $28,619 per unauthorized alien for a third or subsequent offense."

Leftists like to complain that employers are not punished for breaking the law.  It sounds like they can be.  I am not sure if they are being sued or not. If they are, the costs should encourage more care in hiring.

510 Grizzly AR: Maximize Your AR-15

by Iain Harrison in Recoil on 2025-07-18T16:00:31Z

Big calibers in a little rifle! We'll take a close look at the 510 Grizz, a new cartridge for AR-15 platforms that packs a lot of punch!
Tisas USA, a division of SDS Arms, has released the PX-9 2.0 Duty Comp , a 9mm pistol designed for competition and duty use. It uses 18 or 20-round P226-pattern magazines and includes Gen3 NATO spec upgrades for durability. The single-port compensated slide and barrel reduce muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. It features an RMR-pattern optic cut for direct-mount red dots with co-witness capability, and offers 27 grip configurations for customized ergonomics.
One of several traditional patron saints of brewers, Saint Arnulf of Metz is honored with a feast day on July 18.

Arnulf of Metz (c. 582–645) was a Frankish bishop, known in French as Arnoul or Arnoulf, and in English as Arnold.

Wikipedia image

Several miracles have been attributed to Saint Arnulf, but one in particular earned him recognition as a patron of brewers.

From anastpaul.com
It was July 642 and very hot, when the Parishioners of Metz, went to Remiremont to recover the remains of their former Bishop. They had little to drink and the terrain was inhospitable. At the point when the exhausted procession was about to leave Champigneulles, one of the Parishioners, Duc Notto, prayed “By his powerful intercession the Blessed Arnold will bring us what we lack.” Immediately, the small remnant of beer at the bottom of a pot multiplied, in such amounts, that the pilgrims’ thirst was quenched and they had enough to enjoy the next evening when they arrived in Metz. For this reason he is known as the Patron Saint of Brewers.
Today, raise a glass to Saint Arnulf of Metz and recall the prayer of Duc Notto as well.

Cheers!

Tropic Lightning

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-07-18T12:47:00Z

 No, not the 25th Infantry Division. I'm talking about the unnamed weather event that hit us last night and will probably roll across us again today.

This thing is basically a nothing-burger, just lots of thunder and lightning.  It has no wind field to speak of and never really got organized before it came ashore.  This thing originated in the Gulf, so technically it is a tropical something-or-other.

The weather-weenies tell us that we are under a 99% chance of rain today, which means that there is a change we won't get rained on.  Yeah, right.

As the altercation continued, the bystander's gun fell from his waistband. Both people attempted to grab the gun and it fired, hitting the suspect in the face.

As the suspects tried to get away, an employee at a nearby business fired a gun at least once at the suspects’ getaway cars. Fresno Police said right now, that man is not facing charges.

“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. … Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” – Edmund Burke

Do You Still Go To Gun Shows? I do.

by Glenn B in BALLSEYE'S BOOMERS on 2025-07-18T06:28:00Z

 I still do. I go as both a buyer and as a vendor. In the past year or more, I guess it's been more so as a vendor for me; not that I am a dealer or want to be one. I sell to resupply my savings when my savings account takes a hit due to things like firearms and ammo purchases. When I do sell, I quite often and I do mean most of the time, sell at either a loss or a break even price. I am not in the business of making a profit, or earning a living selling firearms or ammo. First of all, I am pretty certain I could never make it in the business world. What I am though, is happy if I can recoup what I spent on an item or at least get close to my purchase price if I sell at a loss. Sometimes though, the loss is substantial but those are the breaks. When you figure in the cost of vendor's tables, sales signs that I print up, price tags, state sales tax, and travel expenses to shows (though nowadays most shows I attend are local), among other things, it all adds up or should I say subtracts, and all too often results in more of a loss than otherwise.
 
Then, when I attend a show as a spectator and potential buyer, if I do buy something it is at gun show pricing, which when it comes to most dealers' prices are way to high. Yet, I have sometimes found good deals and at times I will bring a gun or two with me to try to sell as an attendee of the show. 
 
Now, I realized, about 30 or 40 years ago, that prices at guns shows were inflated all to often and all to much. Back then though, it did not mean that a good deal was very difficult to find. If you looked, then haggled you could still get a nice price on a purchase. As the years rolled on though, the prices got higher and higher, some to the point of being ridiculous such as a dealer asking $500 or more for a Mosin Nagant 91/30 of no special merit and in only fair to good condition. Still though prices were much lower back then than now. For instance, in 1998, I picked up a Hungarian Mosin Nagant M44 in excellent condition from a gun vendor at a gun show in NY. It cost $80.00 out the door - nearly the same rifle today (probably from a different country though, like Russia) at a gun show in AR is selling for a minimum of $400.00. As expected more or less though, I got a Russian M44 in 2003, but from an online dealer, for $62.95 shipped. So years after I bought the Hungarian one at the gun show, I got a Russian one at about only 78% the cost of the Hungarian model. Goes to show, buying at guns shows is often higher priced than buying from other dealers. Then again, I would pay more for the Hungarian any
day so even though it was more expensive than the Russian and that sale being a few years before getting the Russian; I was quite happy to pay that for a Hungarian model. A Mosin Nagant 91/30, with bent bolt, that I picked up in 2009 sold for $175.00, shipped from an online dealer (yes their prices have gone up drastically too and that gun would go for much more today). I have seen bent bolt 91/30s going for $700 or more at guns shows within the past year. That is outrageous!
 
What is also outrageous is when I know, without doubt, how much a dealer paid for a gun he has for sale on his table. A few of them were being sold by show attendees and I had inquired as to the asking prices before dealers finally bought them, a few others were sold by me to dealers over the years. Once they buy them, they put them o their tables and proceed to jack up the prices, all to frequently, by literally hundreds of dollars, in some case, double or more than what they had just paid for them. My bet is most will lower the price if you are wanting to buy but you also must be willing to haggle and must insist on a price reduction. Some dealers though are truly avaricious and will not come down in their sky high prices. It's those dealers on whose tables you often see the same guns over and over again at future shows. 
 
Still though, good deals can be found at gun shows. For instance, if you get there early, at least a half hour before the doors open, there is usually a line of folks waiting to get into the show. Very often, at least a couple to a few folks on the line (and subsequent attendees after the line dies down) will be carrying a long arm or handgun they are trying to sell. There is your chance for a deal - before they get inside to be set up by the vulture like dealers, who are stuck at their tables, you can ask to see any that interest you and try to make a deal in the parking lot before they get inside (check your local and state laws on this as selling in parking lots at guns shows is {or was} illegal in some gun unfriendly states - like NY as best I recall).
 
Of course, you might also fine a vendor like me, a gun owner selling off part of his personal firearms in private as opposed to commercial sales and one who sells at either a small profit, a break even price or at a loss. Even then, when selling at a loss on something I got at a decent prices, I have potential buyers (with very little potential) trying to haggle me down to an even greater loss and then complaining if I don't go down further. Let's face it, it is not always the gun show vendor, who puts too high a price son his wares, who is the bummer at a gun show but all too many times it is the cheapskate buyer who is the cause of gun show grief.
 
With all that in mind, I plan to attend a gun show, this weekend, in Hot Springs. I will be an attendee not a vendor but I likely will bring along a couple or few guns I will try to sell. They likely will be sold at a loss if only because of how much I will have to lay out for a hotel (damn are they ever so expensive, especially their weekend prices) and other travel expenses to get to the show and stay overnight. By staying overnight, I can attend both days of the show while both looking to sell and looking to buy in an 'oh such a deal' moment in which I may pick up a gem at a great price.
 
Speaking of gems, I will likely have my CZ 457 Royal in 22 LR (unfired in the box), Savage 111 Long Range Hunter in 300 WIN MAG (round count 20) and a mini Mosin Nagant 91/30, unfired in box) by Keystone Arms, with me for sale. All will probably be sold at or below my cost if I get any buyers at all. Yet, even after paying for the trip and hotel, if I sell a couple, I will have more money than before I went to the show. Not much more but a bit more to put back into the bank until I buy more guns or ammo.
 
All the best,
Glenn B

LAD 7.62x25 Belt-Fed Submachine Gun

by Lynndon Schooler in The Firearm Blog on 2025-07-18T00:00:00Z

During World War II, the Red Army became very acquainted with the German Army's weapons and tactics, which relied heavily on machine gun fire, which played a crucial role in their infantry organization structure and doctrine. The German infantry squad was structured around the machine gun, making it a central component of their operations. In contrast, the Red Army found that their DP light machine gun was inadequate for supporting infantry units effectively. The DP's used low-capacity pan magazines, which limited operational duration since most carried only three to six magazines. The size and weight of the DP also limited what troops could carry into battle, further diminishing its capacity to support infantry operations.

Hogwash

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-07-17T20:08:00Z

 I'm seeing a lot of hogwash online about the .30-06 cartridge being obsolete.  Hogwash. The old Thirty Aught Six is an old cartridge, no doubt about that, but obsolete?  Not likely.

It can still take all the game on the North American continent.  There may be other cartridges that are better for a specific task, or more suited to specific game, but that doesn't make the old warhorse obsolete. It's proven itself over and over, and it is the cartridge that everyone compares against.  It is a benchmark cartridge.

If I knew that I was going on a medium-to-large game hunt somewhere in North America, with no other inclination of where I would be, the old Savage 110 in .30-06 would go along, and I'd be neither under gunned nor second-guessing my choice. From deer in the thickets to moose in Alberta, the .30-06 would be just fine.

Obsolete, indeed.

Why is 4.5" Now 4.75"?

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-07-17T18:40:00Z

Our sprinkler system has a filter to remove gunk from the canal water.  The coupler for the filter housing is 4.5" diameter.  (Yes, I measured circumference with a tape measure.)  We have been using a oil filter style wrench which is very clumsy.  There are wrenches designed to fit the housing securely.  When I went to Grover's Plumbing Supply,  the plumbing expert informed me that the 4.5" wrenches were arriving bigger than that, requiring you to offset from horizontal to get it to turn the coupler.  I am glad she knew enough not to just drop it in my hand.

Amazon had a 4.5" filter housing wrench.  It arrived.  The bag clearly said 4 5".  It was more like 6" so useless. 

Home Depot's website listed a 4.5" wrench.  I measured it: 4.75".  Why does 4 5" suddenly become a nominal diameter?

UPDATE: The filter inside the housing is 4.5" diameter, not the housing.

Unsympathetic defendants make for bad precedents. This is what happened in the Rahimi case, where the Supreme Court opened the door a crack, allowing judges to believe they can create more exceptions to Second Amendment rights.  Rahimi is cited as the reason for the upholding of the Gun Free School Zone Act in the Fifth Circuit.

On January 29, 2023, 25 year old Ahmed Adballa Allam had been living and traveling around the United States in his father's Toyota RAV4 since July of 2022. He had purchased an AR-15 type rifle in Pennsylvania on the way to California.  He had traveled to California and then to Texas, sometime in early January, 2023. Allam insisted on camping out in the RAV4 near St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica School or near Temple Emanuel, a Jewish Synagogue, both in Beaumont Texas.

The principle of the school was concerned about Allam's actions and called police several times per day.  School staff and parents repeatedly contacted Allam and asked him to leave. Members of the Synagogue also asked him to leave several times. Until Allam was arrested, he had been contacted by police upwards of nine times. From 12newsnow.com:

 On January 29, 2023, Beaumont Police received multiple calls about a suspicious vehicle around St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica School and Temple Emanuel. The callers said a man in a black Toyota Rav 4 with New York license plates was parked across the street and staying there for hours and even days at a time.

On January 29, Allam started to move the SUV from its parked position, and was immediately stopped for a traffic violation. The officer called for backup. After failing to comply with officers' instructions, Allam was arrested and the SUV was searched as an inventory. Among other things, they found the AR-15, unloaded, in its original cardboard box, a loaded 30 round magazine, and 150 rounds of ammunition. Even a small, weak lock on the cardboard box would have met the requirement for the rifle to be in a "locked case".  From findlaw.com:

 On Sunday afternoon, January 29, a school parent confronted Allam, who was sitting in his SUV parked adjacent to the school, and asked him to leave the area. Allam responded that he had a “mission” and that no one would ever see him again after Monday. Alarmed by Allam's ominous statement and based on a strong suspicion that Allam possessed a gun, the parent immediately prompted BPD to post an officer near Allam's SUV. Later that Sunday, when Allam began to drive the SUV from its parked location, the officer stopped him for various alleged traffic violations.2

In the search of Allam's possessions, texts were found about Jihad, killing cats, and the legitimacy of rape and murder during Jihad.

A grand jury returned a single charge of possessing a firearm in a Gun Free School Zone. The case was heard in the federal district court: United States District Court, E.D. Texas. UNITED STATES of America v. Ahmed Adballa ALLAM CASE NO. 1:23-CR-10 Decided June 14, 2023.  The court could not find a historical precedent. 

Therefore, the Government has failed to show that the 1,000-foot zone around a school should be included in the Supreme Court's identification of “schools” as sensitive places, or that it is analogous to the sensitive places previously identified by the Supreme Court, such that it should be considered a new sensitive place.

Unable to find a historical precedent for a gun free zone (GFSZ) outside of school property, the court decided to create a new exception where the exercise of Second Amendment rights could be infringed - the "buffer zone". The court reasoned it could do this because "school shootings" were an "unprecedented societal concern".

The court is of the opinion that the prevalence of school shootings—protection from which is one of the aims of § 922(q)(2)(A)’s enactment—in this modern era, is certainly an “unprecedented societal concern.”

Only one law about a firearms "buffer zone" existed during the revolutionary era.  The Delaware state Constitution created a buffer zone around polling places during the Revolutionary war in 1776, during the founding era. It applied to "Battalions or Companies, not individuals. It only applied on election days. It was removed from the Delaware Constitution one year after the Second Amendment was ratified. No further "buffer zone" laws were enacted until well after the Civil war, when a few were enacted from 1870 on. There have been school shootings since the colonial era, just not as frequently as present.

The court makes a strained comparison that the threat to schools continues all the time (even when the school is not open!) therefore a permanent, continual law is acceptable! The court used the Rahimi case as a lever to open this loophole.

III. Conclusion

As detailed above, § 922(q)(2)(A)’s prohibition on the possession of firearms within 1,000 feet of school property is not “an ‘outlier[ ] that our ancestors would never have accepted.’ ” Rahimi, 61 F.4th at 460 (quoting Bruen, 142 S. Ct. at 2133). Therefore, the statute is constitutional, and both Allam's facial and as-applied challenges fail. Accordingly, Allam's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment (#22) is DENIED.

The three judge panel for the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit goes even further afield. It relies on the 14th century Statute of Northhampton, which had nothing to do with schools, and which had become dormant before the English Bill of Rights was written. It appears the Fifth Circuit panel was heavily influenced by an unsympathetic defendant. If a law can be used against an unsympathetic defendant, it can be used against you. From Courtlistener.com:

By contrast, Allam focuses heavily on the lack of a conclusive historical analogue to § 922(q)(2)(A)’s 1,000-foot buffer zone. But this focus misses the mark. We need not—and do not—fix how far a buffer zone may stretch before it runs afoul of the Second Amendment to decide Allam’s as-applied claim. Section 922(q)(2)(A)’s buffer zone needed to do very little work here, if any. Allam had camped out only 40 feet from school grounds. His SUV was parked on a street bordering campus—adjacent to school zone lighting and signage—at a location where students crossed routinely to get to the off-campus basilica. He was also behaving erratically and menacingly, so much so that people repeatedly called the police, and St. Anthony changed its students’ routines and traffic patterns. As applied here, § 922(q)(2)(A) is “relevantly similar” to the Statute of Northampton and going-armed laws and the (limited) historical examples of firearm restrictions in educational settings and buffer zones around polling places, which corroborate the constitutionality of disarming a visibly threatening individual as near a school as Allam was.17

With all the "menacing" the local police should have found a more local solution than the GFSZA. This is an "as applied" case instead of a facial challenge. "As applied" cases are not supposed to be as precedential as facial challenges. In reality, the difference between "as applied" and facial challenges is eroding.

This is a poor decision. Challenges to the Gun Free School Zone Act are not easy to come by, because federal prosecutors have been wary of challenges which would show how bad the law is. In the Ninth Circuit, a much more sympathetic defendant has appealed a conviction under the GFSZ. We should know if the three judge panel in the Ninth Circuit will be willing to accept the Second Amendment challenge, in a few months. The Ninth Circuit has been hostile to Second Amendment cases.

FOX 2 - There will be no charges in a fatal domestic shooting on the south side of Dearborn last Friday.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office denied charges against the shooter who fatally wounded a family member because it was in defense of another member inside the Walnut Street home.

After the initial assault, Butler left the area on a bicycle but later returned in the direction of the original altercation.

One mile away, on another bridge, Butler encountered an individual believed to be a partygoer. 

According to witness statements, the individual exited a vehicle and confronted Butler. The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation, during which the subject began to assault Butler.

In response, Butler fired several shots, hitting the individual in the chest and also striking the vehicle once.

Both Butler and the gunshot victim fled the scene following the incident.

Butler was later found at his home and taken into custody.

A Goldilocks Tale of Three Lake Docks, by Mrs. Alaska

by SurvivalBlog Contributor in SurvivalBlog.com on 2025-07-17T07:03:39Z

When we bought our undeveloped land on a lake in Alaska, the first thing built was a little dock on the lake, so that boats and float planes could deliver workers and supplies. What type of dock is best in a cold climate where lakes and rivers freeze and thaw? In general, I found that Americans writing from states like Minnesota favored light metal docks that you could pull out of the water at the end of the season.  We saw that approach frequently used in Wisconsin.  From friends there, we have heard that it is something of a seasonal …

In Case You Have Been Asleep for Several Years

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2025-07-17T02:51:00Z

The Ukraine War has demonstrated that the future of warfare is drone-based.  You have all seen aerial drones dropping grenades into trenches and tanks stupid enough to leave hatches open. The maritime drones have also demonstrated their ability to sink Russian ships.  This video shows ground drones often salvaged from car parts but with very little visibility.  Some are carrying mines.  Some have machine guns.  Some 20mm cannon.  All have been very effective. 

Why this matters.  Ukraine like Russia is facing a demographic crisis.  WW2 and its echoes means they must avoid getting too many soldiers killed in combat.   Drones save lives.  

These drones are pretty cheap.  I hope the U.S. Navy, which is beginning to build maritime drones, is paying attention to this cost issue.  If you can build maritime drones that cost a few thousand dollars, you can swarm Chinese ships in such numbers that they cannot get all of them.  I also want our captains to have a nearly unlimited supply of these available to launch.  Make them cheap enough and manufacturing scales nicely.

10 Guns That Altered the Course of History

by Sam.S in The Firearm Blog on 2025-07-17T00:00:00Z

Certain firearms didn't just win battles - they fundamentally changed the trajectory of human civilization. These weapons sparked wars, ended empires, enabled revolutions, and reshaped entire societies through single decisive moments or groundbreaking innovations. Firearms have played a key role in the human history of the last 500 years, so many guns could make this list that it would be pages and pages long, but these ten firearms truly altered the course of history through their use or introduction. Here are the weapons that changed everything.
Politics and political troubles, like other forms of war, distract us from real-world problems that can and do harm and even kill us. While many are man-made entirely, others are natural events. Natural? Yes, but influenced and modified (made worse) … Continue reading
TFB’s one and only Photo Of The Day, and we have exclusive images from the IPSC PCC World Shoot and the Shoot Off, where all the best competitors meet.

Raine is using a highly modified JP-5; more on that another day.
Guns, politics and bling go together like bacon, lettuce and tomato—just ask Bond Arms, where they release a derringer every few months featuring some political tie-in . But this is nothing new; fancy-pants weapons have been floating around politics for years, and this highly customized Colt 1851 is the perfect example. It was originally presented to Mexican president Benito Juarez, and it is coming up for sale at Rock Island Auctions in the coming weeks.

The Crew Is Here

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-07-16T14:16:00Z

 The AC crew is here to install the new unit. I'm very happy with that.

I told Belle this morning that it is now illegal for me to wash dishes. When she asked "Why", I explained to her that Donald Trump had signed an executive order forbidding men from competing in women's sports.

Just so you know.

I was in the mood for something different. Scanning my shelves, I spotted a bottle of Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whisky. Deciding to pour this sweet, fruity libation for the evening, I turned my attention to selecting a cigar. After picking up — and putting down — several options, I eventually settled on the Oliva Serie V Melanio.



Hibiki Harmony comes in at a mild 86 proof, making it a good choice when you’re looking for a lighter drink. A pleasing aroma of florals and honey rises from the glass. The whisky is light yet flavorful, with notes of fruit, honey, and cinnamon coating the palate. There’s a graceful balance of floral and fruity elements, and the clean finish carries a subtle, lingering sweetness. As a mild sipper, the Hibiki calls for a cigar that’s flavorful without being overpowering.

The Oliva Serie V Melanio made for a wholly satisfying complement to the Japanese whisky — just as it does with a bold bourbon. The well-aged, 5x52 box-pressed Robusto features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, including Jalapa-grown ligero. The smoke offers a refined blend of caramel, coffee, sweet nuts, and chocolate. Medium to full in body, it delivers depth without overwhelming the delicate notes of the Hibiki.

I thoroughly enjoyed this pairing. While I’ll still turn to bolder bourbons as my usual smoking companion, the lighter, sweeter Hibiki was a delightful diversion on a warm evening.

Cheers!

Are Striker Fired Guns Safe?

A 21st Century Threat: Battery Fire Cyber Attacks

by SurvivalBlog Contributor in SurvivalBlog.com on 2025-07-16T07:03:00Z

I will keep this essay brief, and to the point. Readers of my novel Expatriates and Liberators will recall how I fictionally described the use of both time-delayed and remotely-controlled incendiaries and explosives. I have recently been considering the potential threat posed by the inclusion of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in consumer products that have Internet connections. As the Internet of Things (IoT) proliferates, I believe that the possibility of malicious, remotely-controlled battery fires is a growing threat. It has already been well-documented that thermal runaway battery fires are an increasingly common occurrence. These fires happen often, even in devices that …
