Putting personal satisfaction before the cause -- The real reason this event flopped.

Basically, no actual big names, time and place set for the convenience of the organizers rather than potential attendees  and no promotion by actual big names.  And they flopped, which hurts the cause.

But darn it, the people involved wanted to do something, and it felt good.

Back in 2017, the same sort of thing was happening. People were doing "grassroots" rallies to counter the anti-Trump activities, and failing completely for the same reasons. They would even admit that they "just felt like" they "had to do something." No thought to the optics, just self-gratification. When I say that conservative-types are given to selfishness, this is a manifestation of it.

It's Teabrainery, folks. Don't do this sort of thing.

19A really did kill us -- Gutfeld video: "For women, liberalism just keeps growing: Greg Gutfeld."

 

Wife in Black couple gets Alzheimer's, so hubby lives off her money with White whore--with wife right there! And WaPo celebrates it.

"B. Smith ran a successful media empire until she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2013. Her husband and caretaker, Dan Gasby, felt overwhelmed by her illness — until he found love with another woman."

I know Black culture doesn't view marriage the same as White/Western culture. But this is heart-rending. We really don't know how much the wife knows, or what her reaction is.

The reality, of course, is that the husband and his White bitch are living it up on the wife's money.

THE DAILY FUDD: E250: "Ruger-made Marlin 1895 raises TDF's focus on the .45-70 Government round."

Ruger's reproduction of the Marlin 1895 in .45-70 Government.

As devoted followers of this TDF series know, caliber commonality and interoperability among the 2A civilian Militia is a high priority. "Oddball" calibers disrupt this, promoting personal preference over Militia efficacy. Below is a long-standing list of common calibers I have often put out:

CAVEAT: Market changes might call for replacing .40 S&W with 10mm.

That said, the old .45-70 Government cartridge is showing a seeming resurgence. Ruger, having recently acquired Marlin, is producing their 1895 lever action in that caliber. (See TDF 116, TDF 119, TDF 158, and TDF 223 for examinations of lever-actions from a fudd-tactical perspective.) As a "brush gun" caliber, it does indeed have a niche place, and its ".45" factor fits with the icon and heritage value of that number.

That said, practicality and tactical realities must take a priority. The caliber remains in that niche, and resupply in a militia-type situation--or even a SHTF/WROL situation--would be sketchy.

Each of you must be the judge, but while perhaps this caliber is quite effective and might grow in popularity, and I have to hold it as fitting within the .45-caliber zone called for in a MAGA setting, it is at this time inadvisable as a regular go-to.

Don’t let the title throw you. Up front I want to state Yvonne and I are both cat and dog lovers. This is not about shooting lost or discarded house cats wandering onto our place. Those we “fix” so they can’t reproduce and give them a place to live on our Montana acreage.

In firearms collecting terminology, cat guns are vintage, big bore Winchester and Colt lever and pump action, repeating rifles sporting British proof marks. I’ve had the good fortune to have a genuine cat gun here on loan for a bit in a large-frame Colt Lightning chambering the .50-95 WCF.

The article goes on to describe these arms as favored by some less financed, but more experienced, adventurers exploring British colonies around the world, where the BIG cats--tigers, lions, and leopards--roamed. 

The first time I heard the term cat guns was while visiting a museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. On display there were several Winchester Model 1876 rifles. I asked our guide about them and he said, “Oh, those were cat guns. Farmers kept them in case lions came about.”

Of course, self-loaders can fulfill the role as well, as pictured in this vintage ammunition advertisement with a customer armed with what appears to be a Remington Model 8 semi-automatic rifle:

Such goes to the adage that the best gun for any situation is a gun you actually have when you need it.
