You have to have confidence in your own ability to be able to go it alone, to go against what the rest of the culture is doing.

Fact: The laws already exist.
Fact: The laws do not work.

Anyone saying that we need more laws needs to understand that if the laws we have don't work, adding more laws will not change anything. It's not the law, it's the incompetent people charged with enforcing the law.


Let's try enforcing what is already on the books.


For once!!!

We have been transitioning from a nation rooted in English Common Law to a nation based on Roman Law, Roman Law based on the notion that there had to be a law for everything. And remember when 'Law Officers' used to be called 'Peace Officers?' There is a big difference between the two.
 
The CA senate has started the process to call for a Constitutional Convention to gut the 2nd amendment. Who's surprised?

I was a bit surprised to see the League of Women Voters submit a public comment in opposition. I think they’ll be able to jam the bill through in time to get it on the November ballot though. No idea which way California voters will go.

All I see is a Gov. Nuisance campaign talking point. The need 34 states to by in to put the proposed amendment forward and 38 states to ratify.

27 states are 'Constitutional Carry' states and only 10 states have 'assault weapon' bans on the books. A waste of the CA taxpayers monies, but hey, it's democrats and symbolism trumps substance every time.

Big difference?


Kinda more like, no comparison.


And too many of the LEO variety are closer to rogue than a little bit.

Ditching and switching: Ukraine dumps Kalashnikovs in favour of home-grown AR​



Ukrainian soldiers have been opening fire at practice targets using an AR-15-style assault rifle with a difference – it's made in their own country.
The soldiers say the new UAR-15 is more handy, more practical and precise than their AKs.
A soldier from the National Guard of Ukraine, identified only as Yakusa, explained how the new rifle would be used on the battlefield.
The war has changed a lot. Drones are now the biggest threat and it is the drones that hit our positions the most, as well as the infantry when they're on the move," he said.
"We have training. We learn and practise how to hit drones using the UAR-15 to make our fighting more effective."
The Ukrainian military has long relied on the Soviet-designed Kalashnikov, a simple and rugged assault weapon designed to be reliable in harsh conditions.
But there have been concerns about its reliability and accuracy, especially considering the age of some of the weapons the soldiers have been issued.
"We underwent a two-month-long training during which we were issued Kalashnikov automatic rifles," explained a soldier known as Nord.
"The rifle I was using was made in 1962. It was old and rusty.
"Before we were issued these rifles, we were told we had to clean them thoroughly, tinker with them and fix them.

"The first thing it did when I started using it, it failed to fire twice."


And so on . . . .

The AK's have never been known for accuracy, they do continue to operate after serious abuse. Actually that's a signature attribute of all of the Soviet weaponry.

The M16 has always been more accurate even if a little more finicky about withstanding abuse.

What I suspect is driving this epiphany is that the switch gives them access to a damn near an unlimited supply of NATO 5.56 ammo.
 
They are happy indeed who own nothing at all; Those with highest knowledge own nothing at all. See how people who own things are afflicted, Bound to others by their obligations.

The truth is, everything we could possibly need for joy, ease, wisdom, and compassion is right here and now, in the ordinary messiness of our lives. At some point, we finally realize this and learn to let go of the struggles and the wishes for some other life, and, with a sense of wonder and courage, trust-fall into our actual lives with a deep sense of radical acceptance.

Feeding what you shoot is at least as important as what you shoot.

Immediately after Frank Hamer’s posse gunned down Bonnie and Clyde on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in May of 1934, the lawmen recovered quite the stash.

Bonnie and Clyde were found with:

  • three M1918 Browning Automatic Rifles
  • one 20-gauge Remington Model 11 semi-auto cut-down shotgun
  • one 10-gauge Winchester Model 1901 lever-action shotgun (also sawed-off)
  • one .32-caliber M1903 Colt automatic pistol
  • one .38 Colt Detective Special revolver
  • one .25 ACP Colt automatic pistol
  • one .45-caliber Colt M1909 revolver
  • seven .45 ACP Colt M1911 automatic pistols.
The sawed-off 20-gauge Model 11 belonged to Bonnie. Hamer’s men also recovered one hundred loaded 20-round BAR magazines. Those were separate from another 3,000 rounds of assorted ammunition.

After the dust settled, Hamer’s six-man posse had fired about 130 rounds. There were 112 bullet holes in the couple’s stolen 1934 Ford Deluxe V8. Barrow was struck seventeen times and Parker twenty-six. It was a gory, but fitting end to America’s first criminal couple.

The car is (or was) on exhibit at the Smithsonian. I've seen it. It smells like death.
