THE DAILY FUDD: E150: "Video on what calibers to stockpile -- not half bad, technically."

MY INITIAL COMMENT:
My Five before I watch this video:

1. 9mm Luger/Parabellum/NATO (note that +P is higher power than recommended for some arms of this caliber). 2. .223 (note that 5.56mm NATO is higher power than recommended for some arms of this caliber). 3. 7.62mm NATO (note that .308 Winchester is higher power than recommended for some arms of this caliber). 4. A .45, be it ACP or LC, for symbolic and heritage reasons. 5. .410 for shotgun advantages in smaller package to enable more ammo carry and use in .45/.410 revolvers (see 4) (note that 3-inch shells won't function is some arms of this gauge).

BONUS: .38 Special/.357 Magnum -- Have .357-capable arm, but stockpile .38.
Always go with NATO standard and common calibers.
Let's see if you got it right.




MY REPLY TO MY COMMENT ABOVE AFTER WATCHING VIDEO: I figured you'd say .22. Clever not-so-encrypted reasonings. While having some is good, truly stockpiling it is unnecessary. Better use for money. Wrong on 6.5. Stick with the standards--7.62mm NATO. 12-gauge is fine, of course, but still has the size drawback. .50 BMG is fine for bonus caliber. YOUR SCORE: 3 out of 5, with a pass on 1 (12-gauge) => 3 out of 4 = 75%.







THE DAILY FUDD: E149: "YouTuber needs to learn most civilians aren't perfectionist gun nuts, nor is perfection practical (subject: "micro 9mm's")."

My two comments:

1. Your concerns go with ANY small, readily-concealable pistol. Hate to break this to you, but most people can't readily carry large-frame pistols. That's reality, bud.

As for practice, that's a choice. Most people aren't gun nuts like us, and so don't shoot more than they need to.

2. You're missing the point of a "micro 9mm" (though your vid is really just about small handguns, period). Its real value is the use of the ubiquitous military standard caliber for resupply and interoperability in a concealable package. Whatever drawbacks, it will shoot and is generally better than nothing. Perfection is the evil of good enough.
Personally, I've long held ALL servicemen/women should be issued something like that--or perhaps allowed a personal arm within parameters--as ECW and field backup to primary arm. Something small wouldn't add much weight to a soldier's load. Plus, it's just an American thing to do.

Excellent news in the one area I break Left politically: VIDEO/ARTICLE: "Pittsburgh City Council votes to ban cat declawing."

Pittsburgh City Council votes to ban cat declawing (wtae.com)


Pittsburgh City Council moved forward with a plan to ban the declawing of cats in the city Tuesday.

Council voted in favor of the plan to ban declawing, unless medically necessary.


Experts who spoke in front of City Council said the procedure requires a veterinarian to amputate bones in a cat's paws.
Violators who are caught declawing a cat for any other reason could face up to a $500 fine.

It can cause pain, as well as behavioral and health issues.

The ordinance now heads to Mayor Bill Peduto's desk.

VIDEO: "School bans 'Thin Blue Line' flag while allowing BLM symbols" -- Goes to why I don't give a shit about "Black lives" now.

BLM has killed any motivation to address any legitimate grievances those folks might have ever had at some point.

From an American Indian: "The Hated White Race."

Original full version may be gone forever. This snippit is from controversial American Renaissance.

The Hated White Race - American Renaissance (amren.com)

The Hated White Race

David Yeagley, Bad Eagle: The Rantings of a Conservative Comanche, June 16, 2009

“Fifty years from now, there won’t even be any white people!” said my pathological Middle Eastern neighbor. He knew I was an American Indian, and he expected me to dance in his vision.

I didn’t. I found his attitude, and that of his angry black wife, repulsive. I don’t appreciate being presumed upon or being dictated to in any matter, especially in the matter of race. Nobody tells this Indian how to think. I’m free to like and dislike whomever I please, for whatever reasons I choose.

My two neighbors were racists, obviously. And they were making me a victim of their racism. Because I was non-white, they presumed I was a natural partner in their resentment and animosity toward the white race. I was judged by the color of my skin, so to speak.

This all happened many years ago, but, I never forgot it. Today, I see truth in the words of my neighbor. White women are leaping in bed with black men, or other darkies of the world, and popping out strange-looking children. Generally speaking, the male in these incidents could not care less about the children. It’s all about sexual aggression against the white race. They’re happy to conquer for the moment, and to create ghastly, permanent consequences. Marriage and family have nothing to do with these misanthropes, nor the lusus naturae they create.

This denigration of race is a cruel mockery of manhood. It is a pathetic testimony of the personal irresponsibility and malignant selfishness of failed men. Indeed, a careless woman is generally such for the lack of a caring father.

Like the universal law of aesthetics. We want beauty. Superior beauty lies in the white race. It is the variety of color, the red hair, the blonde hair, the green eyes, the blue eyes. All the other races in the world have only one coloring, the same black hair, the dark brown eyes and skin. A bit drab in comparison, can’t we say?

The darkies of the world are truly fascinated with the white race, and always have been. However, there is a certain envy that naturally, unavoidably develops. But the sexual encounter of the dark with the white makes the white dark. And what most people–especially white people–forget is the fact that the white race is the minority in the world. It is, and has always been, vastly out-numbered by the dark races. Moreover, the pigmentations of the white race are all genetically recessive. The whiteness is first to fade.

Therefore, integration tends to mean elimination for the white race. That’s simply the way of the genetic world. That the white race became the most powerful, dominant, ruling race may be attributed to cultural values more than anything else. It was of course the white race that adopted the Judeo-Christian religion. The social constructs and psychological hierarchies in this tradition evolved a people more astute and agile in every way.

Whatever ‘mental’ problems the white race developed as a result of being more powerful are only fairly recent evolutions. In his day the white man has created a throne like no other in history. If it is criminal at the foundation, the challenge is chiefly from envy–always the weakest charge. Besides, what’s the point of the dark man accusing the white man of not keeping his white morals, if the dark man himself does not believe in those morals? The charge of hypocrisy is moot, made in impotence. (The white man’s self-flagellation is the only hope of the darkies.)

I would not look forward to a time when there is no white race. My neighbors were nothing I would want to see more of in this world–certainly not their attitude. But that there is a growing number of people in the world who think like them is a concern. The Muslim world tends to produce such a disposition.

Disguised though it may be in moral and religious terms, political terms, or even genetic terms, the case is fairly obvious: “the hated white race” is such for its beauty and power.
