Very good condition, no tears or odors or stains. Many zippers and padded dividers and pouches. Leather shoulder strap. Water-resistant. Nice for travel and shorter-lens cameras and supplies. Both ends have elastic water bottle pouches. The front buckles are magnetic and slide/lock into position, won't open by mistake. Fits iPad mini or similar up to 8 inches. YKK zippers.

Vintage 1950's Linhof dual axis c-clamp tripod head and adjuster from the then- West Germany. Fair condition. I don't know the weight specs on this, seems you can mount the camera and then use the clamp to attach to odd surfaces and adjust its angles. Nice collectible. Heavy metal construction.

Yes, logical answers to the problem of criminals using firearms don't always sway emotional reactions.

This is the shoulder fired weapon equivalent of the aircraft change from the A10 to the F35. The SIG is available in a public consumption semi-auto variation for $7,999. Compared to a high quality AR15 for $1200-1400. But hey, it's only taxpayer money.
One problem I read about is that this new ammo is heavier and larger than current 5.56 ammo, so magazines will only hold 20-25 rounds vs 30 as now. Plus the extra weight will reduce how much ammo the soldier can carry. This was the same type of problem the Army had initially in VietNam, their 308 cal M14 rifles were too heavy for jungle warfare, not enough ammo per person vs the VC troops who had the lighter AK ammo with 30 round mags. Plus the rifle will be much harder to control on full- or semi-auto fire due to heavier recoil. Yes the new cartridge is faster and has more terminal energy than 5.56 but the system altogether seems a step backwards.

Thanks all for the suggestions. Will check out Costco for a usb-ssd drive and compare pricing with more rugged types like Gene spoke of.
