Cats, Guns, and National Security

 

From my comment on Military Arms Channel's video,  Goody bye M16! Military Adopts the M5 rifle and 6.8x51. Are they crazy? - YouTube Hold off on going 6.8x51 till it's confirmed by testing and deployment. It indeed will be several years. There were NG units still using Garands as late as the 1970s (Kent State). Think of all the folks who departed from common North American and NATO-standard calibers by investing in 6.8 SPC. * suppresses laugh* I do wonder how many of the naysayers are just mad they got caught holding that bag. But presuming it happens, learn from past overreaches: Keep things simple. Don't go for the 2A hobbyists' approach of maxing everything out. Don't go for the CA folks' approach of trying to skirt every AW law, and thus encourage more such laws. (Remember, most Americans support gun rights, but disagree with the purists on some points. You can say that's contradictory, but the political reality--and in some cases judicial precedent...

"This is the problem with globalism, you  see: It only works in one direction, African nations are quite free to celebrate and preserve their own distinctive character and culture by passing racially exclusive laws which forbid me from being a citizen of their countries,  but if a European country tries the same  thing it is an act of racism." The difference, of course, is that no White person of remotely sound mind wants to become a citizen of any of those shitholes.  The anti-White nature of it all, though, remains. LIBERIAN CONSTITUTION: Article 4, Chapter 27, Paragraph b: "In order to preserve, foster and maintain the positive Liberian culture, values and character,  only persons who are Negroes or of Negro descent shall qualify by birth or by naturalization  to be citizens of Liberia."  

MY COMMENT :  6.8 SIG ammo is lighter due to composite construction, mitigating any necessity for reducing ammo carry. U.S. tactics long ago moved away from a lot of full-auto by riflemen, mitigating recoil and lower mag capacity. Longer range is good even without the scope against an area target. And the power goes to penetrating armor. 6.8 does itself split a difference--between 5.56 and 7.62, that is. The funny part of the 6.8 SIG, though: All those people who jumped the gun, departed from NATO standard and common North American calibers, and invested in 6.8 SPC are left holding the bag.

LINK HERE. Adapted from a comment to the great Clare Lopez on her Facebook posting of this article: Clare Lopez , you in the past have made the point of some on the Right not understanding the Left-Right distinction, and thus seeing Nazis and Communists as essentially the same thing. Thus, we have conservative pundits taking Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" title not as the ironic descriptive of tactics it was intended to be, but rather as a literal, almost banal, statement of fact. (Granted, some know better, but they say such things because their Teabrained following doesn't.) So now we see some of these supporting Russia in the current conflict, with NWO-type charges leveled against the Ukrainian regime. Pull up a link or two in the vast labyrinth that is international dealings, point out a policy or two that departs from their dogmatic and often quite parochial "reservation," and let the Russians throw the "nazi' (or "Nazi") charge in, a...

So much story can be built around this: Special NY operative for MAGA/Trump Organization, with large .45 under his jacket. Plus, even as is the guy has a cat. It's NYC, so his gun collection even in the '80s was probably limited, but I can still ID. [EDIT 2025: Just kill the smoking and put the guy in the restaurant section of the bar so we can still be carrying.]
