Interesting that the new budget just got rid of it and now the D's want to reinstate it only a few days later.

Makes you wonder who's side they're really on.
 
“Live in joy,
In love,
Even among those who hate.

Live in joy,
In health,
Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy,
In peace,
Even among the troubled.

Look within.
Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,

Know the sweet joy of the way.”

Ammo Guy sez:


The slow summer season is here for the ammo business and with demand down so are prices and profits. It would be wise to stock up while it is a buyer’s market, such as the current conditions. Regardless of whether you buy your ammo from my store or another, I would encourage clients to look at stocking up sooner than later. The ammunition business runs in a cycle, and we are currently at the low point for demand and price in that cycle, however at some point things will change and push demand and pricing back the other way. It is very likely that strong market forces will begin to push up on ammo pricing soon, as copper prices hold at all time high points. Copper is the key metal needed to make ammo and the most expensive part of the product, and copper prices have gone up 36.5% in the past 6 months based on this mornings numbers, and may go even higher in the next few weeks. Help me to help you be the person who can say they don’t need anything when prices go up because you stocked up while prices and demand was at the low point, rather than being the person that let the best times get by you only to pay more later.

18 Reasons You Might Need More Than 10 Rounds​



https://gunsamerica.com/digest/18-reasons-you-might-need-more-than-10-rounds/


In a recent video, Kirk breaks down a wild smash-and-grab attempt that happened on July 19th in Anaheim, California.

A mob of 18 suspects—yes, eighteen—descended on the jewelry store in broad daylight. But instead of scooping up diamonds, they were met with armed resistance from store owners who weren’t about to let thugs walk out with their livelihood.

“They start deploying lethal force because in fact they do have a felony being committed inside their business,” Kirk said.
The result?

The mob scattered like cockroaches, and nothing was stolen. But here’s the kicker: California has a 10-round magazine limit. So while these criminals rolled deep, the good guys were legally limited to what the state thinks is “enough.”


And so on

Marxism didn’t die. It just changed costumes. A historian of communism breaks down how today’s radicals rebranded the ideology for a new generation.



Just when everyone at the monastery has heaved a sigh of relief that the repulsive villain of The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Pavlovich, has at last gone home after behaving scandalously, he reappears. “They thought I had gone, and here I am again,” he chortles maliciously, devising fresh disgraceful actions. In much the same way, Marxism, which we had all thought over and done with, has returned in new forms among the woke intelligentsia. Antifa, “occupiers” of this and that, antisemitic college mobs, and other American versions of Red Guards keep emerging, each outdoing the last. The slogan “Death to America!” is now heard not only in Tehran, Iran, and Pyongyang, North Korea, but also on campuses across the West. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels famously began The Communist Manifesto (1848) proclaiming that “a specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism,” but today it is more like a zombie, unexpectedly risen from the dead. History did not end, it just had taken a brief nap.

Refurbishing the old ideology was easy. It was only necessary to substitute other, more up-to-date oppositions for “proletariat” and “bourgeoisie” so the world could still be divided into virtuous oppressed and evil oppressors. Far from betraying Marxism, this flexibility was just what Marx and Vladimir Lenin had recommended. Lenin, who adapted an ideology focused on workers to a country still composed largely of peasants, deemed the rigid refusal to grasp present opportunities an “infantile disorder.” Marx himself had described a constant change of hostile classes: “freedman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed.”

And why limit oneself to one opposition at a time? White and black, cis and trans, colonizer and colonized, and many more potentially unlimited contrasts now “intersect.” Just as endless purges shaped Joseph Stalin’s Russia and Mao Zedong’s China, ever new forms of oppression, macro and micro, are discovered, each flaunting its own difficult discourse and forbidden words, so that no one who fails to pay constant attention can speak safely. Despite occasional references to “class,” Marxism endures not primarily as a critique of capitalism but as a template for Manichaean struggle. History repeats itself, as Marx himself said, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.

Two new books (from the same publisher) reassessing the communist experience demonstrate Marxism’s surprising vitality. In Reds: The Tragedy of American Communism, Maurice Isserman, a historian at Hamilton College with a long record of radical action and writing, regrets that this wonderfully idealistic movement failed to capture America, largely because of obtuse Soviet meddling and a failure to adapt to American circumstances. “This book,” explains Isserman, “is an attempt to tell the story of American communism, not as an encyclopedic, esoteric, or antiquarian dive into ‘Party history,’ but as an integral part” of American history in which “social critics and agents of much-needed social change” struggled for a better world, only to become “targets of official repression and mass hysteria. Understanding the causes for their triumphs and their failures might provide a measure of insight into the political challenges of our own era.” The struggle continues.
