I am afraid that Gun Culture 2.0 or 2.5 is just a bunch of entitled little idiots that expect the NRA to do everything.

I have no idea who is F1 Firearms, but why do they think the NRA has any influence on what Facebook does or decides?  Is the NRA supposed to have a stack of lawyers running around the country suing anybody who gives an evil eye to a gun company or a gun owner? And all just for the very low price of $35 a year? And what is even more depressing is the many co-whiners also complaining about the NRA about whatever they think they were slighted by their supposed lack of attention.

The NRA is facing an enemy with access to hundreds of million in cash and about the same in free media access. Whether it pisses you off royally or not, they have to prioritize where they spend the hard-to-come-by contributions (not your $35 a year) and your little Facebook ad is not high in the list if you compare it for example against the lawsuit against Cuomo who threatened banking institutions for dealing with the NRA.

At the end, history may record that the downfall of the NRA and gun rights in this country was not brought by Bloomberg and his billions but by a new generation of Gun Owners that played to many sports where participation trophies were given.

Empanada Gallega AKA Galician Meat Pie.  It requires preparation but not like you are going to invade France.

We have two types of stuffing: Cooked pork and smoked turkey legs. Mom and the missus like turkey and I have a ban on anything with feathers as a meal, so that is the separation you will see.

Bottom (L-R) Caramelized onions, tray with bacon and real chorizo, cooked bell pepper without the skin.
Top (L-R) Pulled pork, pulled smoked turkey legs and dough stretched on cookie sheet.

Separation of Church and state right there.  That’s mom dealing with the turkey.

The caramelized onions are spread evenly all over the pie.

Next, evenly spread, chorizos and stuffed olives.  (Mom likes olives, the pie gets olives)

The wife likes bacon… you know the rest.

Last come the red bell peppers. Not my favorite, but Mom and Missus love them. Outvoted.

After that, just add the dough for the crust, seal and to the oven at 350 for 25 minutes . That is a “T” to indicate the turkey side and a wall to separate sections.  I gave it an egg wash, but it may have not needed it.

Voila!

Note: the dough was made from scratch, but you can do it with the Pillsbury pizza crust and just remember to roll it. You will need more than one, trust me on that.

The meats: Season as you like. We cooked ours in a pressure cooker (not together, you degenerate!) because we knew they would come out soft, very juicy and easy to shred.

The basic Emapanada Gallega is the dough, a meat (usually pork), chorizo (if they could afford it), onions and peppers. Build it as you wish and simply enjoy the hell out of it

<burp> Sorry <burp> not sorry, actually.

PS: I forgot that some coastal Gallegos will use salted codfish rather than delicious pork and deface such a wonderful meal.

And the tradition continues.

What we call Christmas Eve in case you did not know. I got to do the apple pie. I went with gun theme for the decoration: Crosshairs and a bullet.

After reading the headline and seeing the photographs of the two youths, you minds takes less than a second to formulate the story that they were the ones engaged in robbing at gunpoint and one innocent young boy died.

Two LSU football players were trying to sell an electronic item when one of them fatally shot an 18-year-old trying to rob them.

Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and linebacker Jared Small were allegedly arrested and released in relation to the death of Kobe Johnson. Johnson was not an LSU student and was pronounced dead at the scene Saturday.

LSU players called police, waited at the scene, were questioned and were released while the investigation continues.

“After Johnson displayed a weapon, one of the players pulled out a handgun and fired multiple times,” police said. Authorities have not said whether the player was licensed to carry the firearm he used.

Authorities say two LSU football players fatally shot 18-year-old in robbery

So what we have is a plain jane defensive use of force. Yet the initial display of the news items is geared to make it look like Football Players Gone Wild Again with a hidden coat of Gun Control. I would not be surprised if future updates of this event mention in a negative light the fact that Louisiana has Stand Your Ground and that the LSU players somehow “got away with it” because the evil law.

It is not Christmas until Santa read to the kids the best Christmas story ever!
