Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

[JoePepsiCo]

The harmless snakes are rattling the bushes again. *chuckle*

I get it.

Snakes are unarmed...

 

[JohnnySavage]

I suppose I've met a few dozen litsters over the years. Probably had 10 or so stay over.

But, lit has become a grumpy old man. It happens.

 

[JohnnySavage]

...and the deer bologna I made last weekend is finally coming into its flavor. Excellent morning snack.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Has it been in the smokehouse?

Aging in the 64-gun safe?

Sitting on the counter?

 

[JohnnySavage]

Hung in a Pit Boss Vertical smoker for a few hours.

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Sounds delicious.

If anyone cares, I'm boycotting all NBC products.
It is now a Nuclear Waste Dump, Biological Weapon and Chemical Poison.

Ladies and gentlemen, Peacock is now on the menu, so git yer peacock gun, get out and kill it!

Make me pay to watch the NFL? AND SEE COMMERCIALS (I'm guessing)??? Screw that nonsense. Even if they host broadcast games.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Speaking of, how is the fillage of the newly won 64 gun safe going?


Inquiring minds and all of that . . . .

A serious popcorn moment: Cop shoots the cop-gang tatt off the leg of another cop.

I don't know even to begin with that story. My gut kind of says they should shitcan the entire crew and start over.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And, speaking of things like cops killing citizens and other creatures, I have never seen a body cam follow-up from that killing in Baltimore last fall. It merits a search.


Erskine Childers was an Irish author, who later became very anti-British during the Irish Civil War.

He vehemently opposed the final draft of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which marked the end of the War of Independence.

On the 10th of November 1922, he was arrested for carrying an automatic pistol, which was against the recently enacted “Emergency Powers Act”.

Childers was found guilty of the offence and sentenced to death by firing squad.

Before he stood in front of the firing squad, he walked up and shook the hand of every single person that was there. He also made his then 16-year old son promise to seek out and shake the hand of every single person involved in his death sentence.

When he was ready, Childers took his place, turned to the firing squad and said,

"Take a step or two forward, lads, it will be easier that way."

Childers son, who he made promise, would go on to be the 4th President of Ireland.

I wonder if the SFB that posted that realizes that if gun control/confiscation were to occur that those deputies, and other like souls, would be the only people with guns.

Glad you're finally on the police reform wagon.

I wanted to make fun of this, but it's so depressingly sad just on its own.

That story is not analogous to the militaristic arming of a right-wing fanatical movement in America today.

Your story is about overthrowing tyranny, whereas American Deplorables are attempting to undermine the electoral process and establish tyranny.

I sincerely doubt the thought was anywhere in their vicinity.


In other news, I did find the Baltimore body cam article. Seems the Kool Aid says that the kid actually did discharge a round from his G23 and hit a parked car. At that point, the cops unloaded on his ass. The kid fucked up, but the cops IMO provoked the situation when they asked the kid and his buddy to pull up their shirts and reveal their waistbands.


Of course, if they carried in the smalls of their backs . . . .

China calls Taiwan's 2024 election a choice between peace and war. Here's what to know.​

I like the philosophy of the Count Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau who when bringing French troops to help Gen. Washington defeat the British said, "Lets Rochambeau them for it."

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And they did, going first, of course.


And you just knew that I'd know the reference.


Here's another one: I'm working about 20 miles from a road known as the Rochambeau route.

I have never thought about the "Revolutionary Route". I have never been to Williamsburg or the Yorktown museum. I have pretty much been everywhere else up and down the coast. i think I'll put them on my list. I absolutely love driving the Virginia roads. The way they are laid out is the best in the nation as far as I am concerned. Sweeping undulating curves through the country side. I may move to Virginia in my next life. Maybe around Jefferson's home and the Shenandoah Valley.

The drive down I-81 in the wintertime is really pretty and interesting. With the leaves off the trees, you can see back off the road farther. It's good looking rolling/mountainous countryside with a lot more cattle than one would think. It's nice on a bike, too. Do it early before the trucks come out and get to competing with each other for who is passing whom on the long uphill pulls. Think 53 in a 70 zone.


That said, I'm short time around here.

20 blue state AGs wrote letter to the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention asking the Biden administration to cut off ammunition sales of 5.56mm rounds to the civilian market but fucked up bigly in their letter:

"Ammunition from Lake City is manufactured for military use and does not belong in our communities. Federal courts have repeatedly noted the military nature of 5.56-millimeter rounds, which are used in military-issued rifles, such as the M-16. Military-style weapons – and the ammunition specifically manufactured for them – should be limited to military use. Even if military-grade ammunition were appropriate for the civilian market, its sale to private parties should not be subsidized by taxpayer dollars.

In the short term, we ask your Office to investigate the contracting and manufacturing practices that led to so many billions of military-grade rounds being sold into our communities, and to issue a public report with recommendations about how to end the diversion of military ammunition into civilian hands. In the long term, we ask the White House to ensure that future production contracts prohibit the sale of military weapons and ammunition to civilians"

An open admission that guns in the US such as the AR15 and other sporting type rifles of the same caliber are ubiquitous in the US, ie, "in common use" and are therefore protected by the Second Amendment under existing Supreme Court jurisprudence. Good luck trying to defend such a ban in court
