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.

 

Blast from the past

This book was written before the retarded AWB took place.  All this time I thought anti-funs coined the term assault weapon as a buzzword(and for people to constantly confuse them with assault rifles) but they just hijacked it to push their agenda(no surprise).  Interesting book though, some familiar guns, some obscure ones.  And semiauto AA-12s are due for importation any day now!

The off-brand glockazine is a lucky find from a garage sale and unfortunately doesn’t feed my problem solver.

 

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

 

Supposed to have posted days ago

Got interrupted while typing, then came back to it several times but lost momentum.  Anyway

Recently I was flipping though the channels and saw something on the news about universal background checks.  It was obvious that the segment was going to be heavily biased in favor of more power to the government but I kept watching for a bit out of morbid curiosity.  The thing that struck me the most was all the shots of a gun store counter.  It’s not much of a surprise because stories on gun violence commonly use that tactic whether the perps obtained it legally from a store or not(for the most part they don’t).  But in this case it’s an even worse use of negative portrayal.

For someone who doesn’t know much about guns and has never bought one, it’s easily misleading.  Look at all those SCARY GUNS.  Anyone could just walk in and get one, so we need more background checks, otherwise those customers are just ticking time bombs for GUN VIOLENCE.  Since the controversy is regarding private transfers, why not show someone opening a trunk or whatever and someone else safely inspects the piece and hands him or her money?  Maybe show that either party can check each other if they want, but that people who know and trust each other have less to worry about?  Nope, won’t do that, and what about the loopholes?  Well, granted gun shows and private transfers have the potential to be shady, but legally they are limited to selling/buying guns that someone with a clean record would be able to buy normally.

Several decades ago guns could be bought in hardware stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, and through the mail, in addition to what we have today.  Now the only options are gun stores/someone with an FFL, private transfers, gun shows, and the black market(illegal version of the last two).  Going back a few more decades, people could go to stores and buy machine guns, silencers, calibers bigger than .50, guns that have short barrels with a stock, and the AOW category wasn’t even made up yet.  Transferring unregistered NFA items is illegal now and the process for getting them legally is more involved than a standard rifle/carbine, pistol, or shotgun.  Nah, viewers don’t need to know that, plus they might wise up to the agenda that regular weapons will become more regulated to the point of NFA items over time.  It’s a felony to make a straw purchase(buying a gun for someone else who is prohibited), but that fact isn’t mentioned either.

California has laws requiring private transfers to have the same process as a gun store.  If every state had shitty laws like that(or worse), as the universal background checks hype is pushing for, there wouldn’t be a significant reduction in violent crime.  Instead, there would be a reduction in armed bystanders and ability to deter and stop the violence.  Remember the supreme douchebag of Santa Barbara?  Despite having a desire to be a spree killer, he went through all the hoops of restrictive gun laws and got a gun legally.  Then, because he was angsty and couldn’t get laid and had been planning something for a while, he stabbed a few people, shot at some people, and hit a person with his car before killing himself when the cops showed up.  The strict gun laws didn’t do anything to prevent all that, and more of them won’t either.

Also showing pictures of airsoft and bb guns and even squirt guns(!) in articles about gun control is just being lazy.  Actually on second thought, it gives a glimpse of the future goals that antigun advocates are pushing for.  Banning them and butter knives is the next step, and then politicians and criminals(same tbh) will attain maximum power over people that used to be individuals.  Source: the UK.

 

Recently found out CA is considering/going to ban the use of bullet buttons, which I find both hilarious and sad.  Going into detail about that would be an article in itself, but basically since detachable magazines are restricted to 10 rounds there, a bullet button is a device that locks a bigger capacity mag in the gun until it is poked at with a stick(or bullet tip).  The only reason it exists is to conform with the strict laws and now it might not be allowed anymore.  A similar situation happened with thumbhole/butthole stocks back in the 90s I think.  They were allowed at first because they were ugly enough and weren’t “protruding pistol grips” but later were considered the same.  Do you see the pattern that follows putting up with these bullshit compromises?

 

 

And killing any nearby dogs goes without saying

ATF logic: If you own a gun and have a shoelace or a tiny flat piece of metal, pipe fittings and brillo pads, you’re a fucking criminal mastermind and deserve to have your house raided and burned down.  If you pay the toll and have your name on the registry so we can keep tabs on you, that’s cool for now.  Otherwise fuck you.  We also walk weapons that we don’t trust citizens with to cartels to keep you worthless peasants safe.

 

?Did you know?

Those movies from the 70s and 80s where gangs caused all kinds of havoc in the streets were for REAL.

From Masterplan, performed by The Plasmatics and Wendy O. Williams.  The song’s kind of repetitive and it’s hard to hear all the lyrics in the video but she was badass.

 

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.

 

Free reading material alert

Old issues of Guns magazine here.  Jan 1955-Nov 1965, back in the day where guns could be ordered through the mail(now they are required to be sent to FFLs, with the exception of factory maintenance and C&R license stuff).  It’s interesting to look back at how things have changed over the years and see concepts that never really took off.  I’ve accumulated a bunch of gun magazines(not to be confused with magazines for guns) over the years and it’s getting to the point where they need to be thinned down.  Downloading them is a good way to do that, although it can be tricky to find certain issues.  On the other hand, it’s nice to be able to read books and magazines that aren’t common or have been out of print.  I might not have been able to read Unintended Consequences(by John Ross, highly recommended) or these issues in good condition otherwise.

 

Happy Birthday, U.S.A.

Hope you get your freedom back
