Cats, Guns, and National Security

 

Think of all the time and effort and money folks thinking like him expend to make some sort of point to themselves (not so much others), when they could be maintaining a suitable baseline civilian Militia combat rifle and working to change the sociopolitical climate. Or as individuals (and these folks are all about the individual), they could just move out of California. Whatever the option, note that it's all about indulgence in a hobby . It's not truly a goal of maintaining civilian firepower. (If it was, they'd go with a less feature-laden system [three links there].) It's about what they want the way they want it. That's the childish attitude that will kill RKBA.

ARTICLE:  West Virginia Attorney General Promises to Sue Biden Admin if He Enacts His Gun Control Policies (thegatewaypundit.com)     ------------------- COMMENT:   Convention of States NOW. Every red and purple state needs to sign on immediately. We will have the 34 needed then. MY REPLY: (No link at this time--yet to be approved) I told people to contact State governments about a Federalist 46 stand by the States against the Election Steal. Very few people listened and did likewise. But if you insist on this Article 5 approach, be aware that liberals will engage on this and make up part of every State's delegation. They don't just stand off and yell some incantation like conservatives do. So people like you might have to actually sacrifice time and money to actually be part of the Convention. Then you have to decide what it is you're working for. On 2A/RKBA matters, odds are your views of it are in the minority among the people of the United States. Are yo...

The Harris/Biden Insurrection's ATF'nE is imposing a ban on pistol braces as being Short-Barrelled Rifles (SBRs). This whole story shows the failure of the 2A activist community's foolish approach to dealing with the increasingly liberal nature of the American people. See also TDF 47 . First, a rough timeline: 1. Somebody develops a rack similar to "wrist rocket" slingshots for bracing handguns on the forearm while firing one-handed. ATF'nE basically says it's cool. (I wondered about them.) 2. People start "bracing" them against the shoulder. ATF'nE says little or nothing. (I wondered how long before this led to something from ATF'nE.) 3. People start showing off this use, including a video from NRA showing a paraplegic woman ("of Color") doing so. They essentially poked the ATF'nE. 4. December 2020: ATF'nE under pro-2A Trump administration issues admittedly flawed guidelines to set a difference between a "brace...

Gets 4 out of 5 paws. Technically it gets 3.5, but the novelty and heart add 0.5. Not an actual sequel of the other two (kinda like "The Gods Must Be Crazy 4"). Definitely worth the $2.99 rental. Operative line: "Fish don't count." (And it could use more cats.) POLITICS: All the lead humans are White. (Beautiful.)

After that movie about "The Enemy" (the USSR) attacking the U.S. to impose communism he now mocks, he did a film in the old USSR. He spent months at an isolated village that rarely received supplies. O'Herlihy concludes from this that the USSR could never be a threat, because they couldn't even supply their own people. He then as a result becomes an avowed socialist. It never occurred to him that he had become an adherent to a system he viewed as being unable to support its own people, or that part of that might be the excessive military spending that indeed made it a threat.

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-secret-to-being-witty-revealed?utm_source=pocket-newtab EXCERPTS:  The wittiest among us are simply people who make unusual connections between words and ideas. There’s a refreshing element of surprise to these observations that prompts a smile or a wince from the listener who didn’t see the link until it was presented. ... For now what we know is this. “Witty thinking seems to recruit a unique configuration of neural processes that engage in seemingly contradictory modes of thought; the spontaneous and the deliberate, the generative and evaluative,” according to Geary. In other words, a wit is someone who is disinhibited in linking ideas creatively but also capable of evaluating these connections thoughtfully, thereby presenting unexpected and clever combinations.  ... Like other forms of creativity it is borne of knowledge . Having a rich vocabulary is a starting point. Curiosity is another important element. Appreciating lan...

CLICK HERE "One man's 'freedom' is another man's enslavement." The logic behind "women's lib" and "civil rights" all point to "same-sex marriage" and "trans-rights." All exist by claiming the umbrella of "equal protection." All ignore science and reality in favor of PC "equality." And with marriage, SCOTUS officially and explicitly did so. So now society, and each of us in it, is forced to one extent or another to act as if certain true things simply aren't true. And our people--our civic nation, our demographic, whatever--suffer a degradation that comes from ignoring nature.

A review in Soldier of Fortune magazine from the time suggested these arms might be popular with law enforcement, given their military-esque ("quasi-military") look. Match them up with their extended ten-round magazines, and a workable fudd combat rifle emerges. These G43 offshoots came in 5.56mm (6) and 7.62mm (7). (Too bad the two-round burst version wasn't available! It perhaps should be, as a short burst-fire might be protected under my analysis of full-auto in T DF 10 .) Back in my youth, I thought these had great aesthetics.  TDF INDEX:  Cats, Guns, and National Security: THE DAILY FUDD index.    https://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-daily-fudd-index.html

Why This Ammo Shortage Is Different - YouTube MY COMMENT : It goes to how capitalism rations supplies. Price jump in crisis situations supposedly makes people only buy what they need, leaving some for others. It has its weaknesses to say the least, but it's the nature of our economic system. An alternative would be a government-directed rationing system--so much ammo per family based on size, nature, caliber, and need. Walter Williams, a noted libertarian, discusses the theory about capitalism here: https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2005/09/14/the-role-of-prices-n1402513 "Here's a which-is-better question for you. Suppose a hotel room rented for $79 a night prior to Hurricane Katrina's devastation. Based on that price, an evacuating family of four might rent two adjoining rooms. When they arrive at the hotel, they find the rooms rent for $200; they decide to make do with one room. In my book, that's wonderful. The family voluntarily opted to mak...
