Cats, Guns, and National Security

I've done CCW with a snub-nose 9mm using star clips. Similar reload situation, but it didn't have near the same business-end visual effect. Concealed carry, Glock 27 40 cal. replaced by single action Ruger Vaquero 45 cal.

"Bread and Circuses" is the Star Trek Original Series episode where the Enterprise encounters a planet with 20th-century Earth technology, but a continuing Roman Empire. In their interaction with the society, they encounter an outcast religious community in the mountains. Its adherents refer to themselves as "Children of the 'Sun.'" Of course, at the end--and taking into account a throwaway line from Spock that the people were speaking English--it turns out that "Sun" was actually, "Son"--the "Son of God." A point pertinent to this series, starting about five minutes into the episode, is where Kirk, Spock, and Bones are encountered by these "Children." A sentry fires a warning shot at them, and we soon see more sentries emerge carrying traditional-configuration bolt-action hunting rifles. Points of history and fuddity here: 1. The non-military nature of the arms (government forces were seen with submachine guns ) woul...

This is a move in Congress today to eliminate "Qualified Immunity" for law enforcement. Qualified Immunity is the legal concept that police are generally exempt from laws while enforcing the law. While "Back the Blue" is generally good, there is a side to this matter that the pro-LE side needs to consider: Police can be assholes. The problem involves things like a police officer shooting your dog because he THINKS the dog MIGHT end up threatening him SOMEHOW. Because "the right to keep and handle dogs" is not clearly established in constitutional jurisprudence, the best the dog owner can do is maybe collect financial recompense from the department. The trigger-happy bum with a badge MIGHT get SOME sort of reprimand about SOMETHING. But no charges will ever be filed. (As I told a police officer friend recently: "This is why even White people hate police.") It's been recognized that virtually every encounter a civilian has with a police offic...

"RULE OF THREE": In a comparison of group results in a quantified test, the White aggregate will fall between the Asian (Yellow) and Black aggregates, usually much closer to the Asian result. New Member of "The Squad" Says the SAT and Standardized Tests are a "Pillar Of Systemic Racism" | Dan Bongino   https://bongino.com/new-member-of-the-squad-says-the-sat-and-standardized-tests-are-a-pillar-of-systemic-racism/?fbclid=IwAR0u4DI6Z_DG-Kez19QKgg7wnehbUn_wlJj1tYKazrrFbecbStzb_EBWRQA Instead of declaring that standardized tests are bad if black Americans don’t test as well, maybe we should be asking why that is and trying to address the problem so those kids will benefit. For example, maybe we should be asking why Asian Americans are outscoring everyone else on the SAT, including white Americans. Does anyone think it’s because the test is biased in their favor? ANSWERED! If one can reject their White Guilt long enough to accept it. And here's a snippit fr...

Turns out there was a reasonable basis for the French adoption of a bolt-action rifle as late as 1936. Don't diss fuddity till you know the whole story. From Ian "Gun Jesus" McCollum.

Please pardon the formatting issues. Since I'm just a regular guy more focused on ideas than form, I do my best, but this platform gives fits. CAUTIONARY NOTE TO COMMON GUNNERS:   Please, folks, be sophisticated in your reading of material like this.  As we recently saw in the lead-up to the consummation of the 2020 Election Steal, and as noted by such great minds as Victor Davis Hanson,  it can be difficult to discuss worst-case scenarios and responses to them without sounding as though one is resigned to them or even supportive of them.  Sometimes it's necessary to take things arguendo just to discuss the whole matter. So when reading this or other things in TDF and elsewhere on maintaining baseline RKBA, keep in mind that often this is not an endorsement of a position, but rather a practical tool.  There are cases where I am very literally definitive in my analyses--e.g., on  full-auto  or the distinction in Anglo-American Common Law and jurispruden...
