Cats, Guns, and National Security

Regular readers of my blog posts going back years know I speak often of "Teabrainery" or "Teabrainers." The reference should be obvious--namely, to the unsophisticated, often uneducated hick conservative-types that composed or mimic the post-2008 election "TEA Party" movement. Simply put, they are what happens when Jeff Foxworthy rednecks decide to get into "politicks. " (Misspellings are a distinctive hallmark of the movement--it's almost pathological with them.)  "One-dimensional, one-layer" is a way of describing their analysis. Their lack of base academic knowledge prevents them from having perspective--hence, "one-dimensional"--and their academic laziness prevents them from seriously digging into a matter--hence, "one-layer." (And when they do go deeper, they stay one-dimensional.)  They don't really relish reading books without pictures or doing research, and never really have done so on anything that d...

The fellow is a bit long-winded, but his realistic, down-to-Earth take not afraid to go a little fudd is very valid. Most importantly, he notes  the untrained/undisciplined nature on non-vet civilians. Too many gun people try to deny that. See TDF 2 and TDF 19 . MY COMMENT: THANK YOU for noting the untrained/undisciplined nature on non-vet civilians. Too many gun people try to deny that. Good point to go for manual-actions, but I would go more for 7.62mm NATO than .30-06. More commonality. MY COMMENT: Barring a cataclysm akin to whatever wiped out the dinosaurs, long before we got down to bows and flintlocks, the flipside of human nature--the drive for oligarchy--would have established some sort of order, which would lead to enough industrialization that we wouldn't (have to) drop that far. If it does go further, most of the people questioning this will be dead or invalid by then anyway. People need to prepare for what they can effectively prepare against, not what they can't....

Problems: 1. Inner-city violence is good, as it kills off people threatening us. 2. There's a reason people who hate America would join its armed forces. It's the same reason BLM thugs use the Second Amendment. 3, She won't give the answer: VIOLENCE in (technically) lawful defense and Federalist 46 State action.

 

Possible turncoats at Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro's outfit). Unless the "angel" is a private citizen lawfully carrying (disregard age and school zone)--which she apparently is not ("uses her wits and survival skills to fight back" in the description)--this is enemy propaganda, especially with at least two references in the trailer to the bad guys having lots of guns. The full-auto factor might be spun, but probably not enough. (Not to mention it could probably serve as a how-to video for school shooters.) THEY EVEN ADVERTISED IN ON A DAMN GUN REVIEW VIDEO! REVIEW BY THE FEDERALIST.COM : I'm probably right. Key points (the rest is mostly reviewer's jibberish): That’s helpful to the film, for which Rankin’s admirable  goal  was, hypothetically, that “two friends on opposite sides of the political spectrum go see it together and then go have a beer and be able to speak and feel like the movie had honored both sides.” Hollywood doesn’t do both sides anymore...

The 2008 Heller vs DC case established explicitly in American jurisprudence that the Second Amendment dealt with and protected a PRIVATE right to arms by PRIVATE citizens in their PRIVATE capacity. Without this decision, nothing in the private arms realm would be constitutionally secure. The case was won by taking a moderate approach. The DC gun ban of the time worked by requiring handguns be registered, but forbidding any more to be registered after 1977-78. The approach taken was not to challenge the registration requirement, but simply to require DC to permit new registrations. It worked. But this is fundamentally contrary to the "principle" people who insist on a purist/libertarian interpretation of 2A and that every effort in that regard have no qualifications. The theoretical effort I suggest regarding pistol magazines in the face of magazine limitations ( TDF 90 ) is anathema to them. No partial measures to promote RKBA, and no conciliatory gestures, even to maintain f...

The most disillusioning thing about all of this is that no matter how promising some of these moderate bills may seem, if the side of Patriots ever gets power again, they will work to simply reset the situation to a place where the other side can gain power again. The side of Globalists, on the other hand, will always do the exact opposite--that is, they will work to prevent their opposite numbers from ever regaining power, or even operating as opposition.
