Update and some puny ghetto gats

Been busy and recently got back from a road trip.  A few more details on that to follow.

Raven .25 and H&R .32 S&W topbreak, or “Dis my glock .25 yo, dis my rodent problem solver, and dis my webley, dis my peacemaker right here.

Didn’t have much time on the last range trip but the .25 seems to work ok and put rounds in an appetizer plate-sized group at about ten feet.  The .32 needs some work and I only put six rounds through it.  It’s a little loose in places and primers went missing from the shells upon firing; part of one hit me in the forehead somehow.  Both had very soft recoil.

 

HAPPY MERICA MONTH

I’m behind enemy lines in commiefornia with an 11 round mag.  Call Feinstein, I don’t give a fuck.

 

 

Been without internet for about a week

during the shitstorm after a wannabe terrorist loser murdered a bunch of people, I haven’t been able to join the discussion yet and am way behind on reading posts.  @cyrodiil-burns, @therevenantrising, and numerous others, keep up the good work.

The victims in Orlando shouldn’t have been massacred AND  the proposed gun control laws aren’t going to prevent any future attacks.  The nightclub was full of helpless people, and making everyone else as just as helpless won’t stop another massacre from happening.  Instead, expanding gun laws will only enable more spree killers and terrorists to have more opportunities to slaughter.  One mere follower managed to murder and injure so many in one place, and a coordinated group like in Paris(where machine guns were smuggled in despite strict laws), has the potential to be even worse.  What’s really terrifying isn’t so much the type of guns used, it’s  the realization that an attack could happen so suddenly and that no place is completely safe.

What about a proposal that doesn’t restrict rights and punish everyone for the evil act of someone else?  Normally I’d say that more people concealed carrying in general would be part of the solution, but a nightclub makes that tricky.  Armed security(and workers if they’re not drinking) could help, but not all nightclub owners want to go through the hassle of employing them.  A simple and more manageable option would be to have undercover armed security similar to air marshals.  They would mingle among patrons or sit off to the side, always ready and not consuming any booze while working.  The response time would be quicker than the police(3 hours in this case) and more consistent than hoping someone with a CCW randomly passes by the area when the attack occurs.  There is no perfect magic answer, but unlike adding more laws, this option would actually reduce gun violence, and that’s what so many people are clamoring for, isn’t it?  To feel safer?

To anyone who believes that the U.S. is too dangerous and needs to restrict freedom(not just weapons, things like free speech and due process too) like other countries: I guarantee moving to another country would be less expensive and far less trouble than trying to make people give up their rights here.

 

How do you do, fellow gun owners?

While scrolling through the dashboard on tumblr, I found a link to nradoesntspeakforme.  It’s a site full of submissions of gun owners who… don’t get it.  They send pictures holding a sign that says, “I’m a gun owner who supports laws to reduce gun violence.” with their name & location.  What they’re really saying is, “See, I’m a gun owner, just like you!  But I feel that many guns are too big/powerful/scary compared to mine and they should be restricted more.” or alternatively, “Hey there, non-gun owners!  As you can see I own a gun and speak for all gun owners and even I think that we need more laws.  Don’t you agree?”

If someone disagrees with the NRA, that’s fine, it’s not mandatory to support them.  But the calls for more laws “to end gun violence” are just to dupe people into giving up their freedom.  None of the proposed laws will make anyone safer, none of them will impact criminals more than the innocent, and the only major change that will happen is responsible gun owners having more shit to put up with.  Strangely enough(but not surprisingly), some of the idiots in the pictures are from california and new York, both of which almost seem to be competing for most restrictive gun laws in the country(massachusetts, illinois, and new jersey are a few others).  To someone who appreciates guns the laws in these places are frustrating and ridiculous.  To a fudd cuck proud to be on that site, it’s not enough, and they won’t stop pushing for more.  Not only that, but they want other states to follow the terrible examples they’ve set.

The term “Fudd”(as in Elmer Fudd, the cartoon character) is used to describe someone who believes that guns only can be used for hunting and nothing else, and only certain guns can be used for it.  Now this belief might work for them, but imposing it on other gun owners is bogus.  The reason why is that guns have multiple uses, and the fact fudds only use them for hunting is no excuse to ban the rest.  Even if you never plan on target shooting, competition shooting, or having to use one in defense, why limit your possible options?  And why limit others who responsibly use them for different purposes(and might be in a rougher environment)?  Furthermore, the guns that aren’t considered “sporting enough” to hunt with?  Take the standard magazine out, slap a smaller magazine in, and lo and behold, it can hunt durr!

The term “cuck”(as in cuckold, someone who watches their spouse get fucked) gets thrown around a lot on the internet these days, but it applies well to this situation.  Compromising  rights allows politicians to fuck with said rights.  Just like with fudds hunting only mentality, some people are fine with giving up their freedom.  In fact, they get off on it and it’s all they know and want to know.  That doesn’t mean that everyone else should be required to.  It’s also apparent that not all the owners on the site are aware of what they’re doing.  “Oh, you don’t like the NRA?  You want to reduce gun violence, right?  Here hold this sign.”  They are being used as a political tool to push an antigun agenda while claiming gun ownership.  The next step would be getting them to rat out gun owners who don’t want more restrictions.

 

low-res Gadsden flag variant ahtellyawhat

 

Counted up some plastic army men the other day

Green: 297  The good guys, U.S. & NATO countries.

Tan: 177  The bad guys from various countries that want to take over the world.  Some yellow and white ones are lumped in with tan because they were always outnumbered by green ones.

Gray: 41  The other bad guys, nazzies obviously.

Blue: 127  Spy-police of the world.  Mostly good but always pushing for a police state.

Blue/green: 13  Special forces coalition between blue and green.

Bright green and pea green: 130  Traitors who have allied with tan and gray.

Brown: 94  Supposedly neutral, but often corrupt and supporting the tans.  They’re mostly conscripts.  How the hell did I accumulate 94 of these?  I only remember buying a small bag at the dollar store.

Red: 113  Soviet countries.  Some are ninjas and rebel firefighters.

Black: 13 and 4 cannons  Black ops and mercenaries involved in shady dealings.

Zombies: 125  Experiment by bright green side.

Skeletons: 26  Spooky supernatural occurrence.

Purple: 48 Aliens and monsters + some zombies.  From an interdimensional portal or something, I dunno.

All for a total of 1204 troops(or 1005 living human ones).  Also 12 ground vehicles, mostly green, 9 aircraft, 2 boats and a dinghy, plus two dinosaurs.  And there’s hundreds if not a thousand more of them still in storage.  I might have a problem.

Sailing the internet in search of guns and titties

 

Added a new problem solver to the collection

DIS MY WALTHER BRAND GLOCK 40 BAYONET, YO.

 

Picked it up at a flea market.  A few people armed with these could take over London.

 

Old textbooks didn’t fuck around

Want to pierce some armor but have the softpoint blues?  Get some chromium steel for bling bullets!

From an old edition of Machinery’s handbook.  I think it was from the 50s when body armor wasn’t as common as now, so  it was probably referring more to tanks and cannons than rifles.  Still interesting though, and even with all the advancements in armor over the years, up to a certain point there’s only so much that can be done.  If a projectile is the right size, the right hardness, and going fast enough it will punch through/obliterate/disable anything in its way until momentum runs out.  Weak spots still exist, of course hitting those in a chaotic situation is easier said than done.

“B-but why does anyone NEED babycopaircraft-killing bullets?” Why not?  “Only police and military should have those!”  So what?  One of the perks of being in the USA is that citizens are supposed to be able to have the same things they do, to discourage them from fucking with our liberties.  It’s an increasingly forgotten truth, and don’t give me any of that “What about nukes?” bullshit.  Ultimately AP bullets are just another type of projectile.  Sure for most situations FMJ and holla points is fine, but what if a gang with borrowed(or gifted) police and military equipment rolls into your hood?  It’s good to practice with different types of ammo whether it’s for training or just to see how they perform in comparison.  One thing about shooting hard bullets and AP rounds is that they are more likely than soft ones to fragment and ricochet off of solid things, so use caution.  Some indoor ranges frown upon it too, no matter how strong the backstop is.

 

UPDATE: It was the 17th edition from 1964.

 

Make America Randy Again

Rand Paul is out of the presidential race.  There goes the opportunity to use slogans like “Why feel the bern when you can feel Randy?” and “All the other candidates want to make America impotent, stop the shrinkage of liberties and let U.S. citizens get freedom boners!”  Not that I expected him to win against all the Celeb Power, but I distrusted him the least out of all the candidates because he was the only one that actually seemed like he gave a shit about limiting government power instead of expanding and abusing it.  Now we’ll have to vote for one that won’t increase surveillance on citizens, raise taxes while spending more and infecting every aspect of life with bureaucracy.  Oh wait

 

Exclusive never before seen photo from Stalin’s death

Tea time is over

 

Turns out the other dead Stalins were just body doubles.  Instead of being buried under rubble or dying of old age or whatever he was poisoned and shot multiple times.  There are rumors that he wanted to clone himself but the technology wasn’t developed enough at the time.
