Gun Free Zone

So the Manatee range where we will be holding the SW Fla Blog PewPew prohibits the use of green tip ammo in its rangers. Take a wild guess who has only green tip in his stock?

So I spent the morning calling different places and they are all out, even the very expensive stuff is gone. Not a round anywhere.

A gracious soul has promised me to bring me enough ammo to zero the 2 guns I need to get ready. But the rest of the shooting will be done with 9mm and .22LR in long guns. I could take the Romanian Lady, but that would be a lot crap and I still haven’t found a muzzle device for the damned thing (May the curse of the gunsmith gods fall upon Century Arms)

Somebody is taking a shotgun, so I am bringing shells for that.

I know I am overdoing it and probably will not shoot as much as I am worried I am gonna shoot.

PS: I will be bringing a carbine in 9mm. If you want to shoot, please bring your commercial ammo as all I have is reloads and I don’t feel good with people taking chances with my rolled-up stuff. It is a reloader’s thing and one of the first lesson I was taught.

See you at the range! I’ll be the one wearing a machete (just kidding).

The Mandalorian is good.  Very good.  It is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.  It ranks #2 behind The Expanse for me.

Gina Carano is great in it.

The Twitter mob wants her fired.

The Mandalorian Fans Want Gina Carano Fired Over Her Social Media Activity

What did she do?

She was a conservative online.

She liked some Tweets by Ben Shapiro and James Woods.

She also refused to and then mocked the idea of putting her pronouns in her Twitter bio.

According to the new rules, it is transphobic to not put your pronouns in your Twitter bio.  Just assuming that Gina Carano is a woman because she looks (fantasticly) like one is bigotry.

Disney is woke.  The mob has power in corporate America.

If the mob destroys the only good thing Star Wars has done since 1983, I think this is a worthy cause to test Ron DeSantis’ new mob defense law.

It’s justifiable homicide to protect The Mandalorian from the Woke Twitter hate mob.

Outgoing Syria Envoy Admits Hiding US Troop Numbers; Praises Trump’s Mideast Record
‘We were always playing shell games,’ says Amb. Jim Jeffrey, who also gives advice to President-elect Biden.

Four years after signing the now-infamous “Never Trump” letter condemning then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as a danger to America, retiring diplomat Jim Jeffrey is recommending that the incoming Biden administration stick with Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East.

But even as he praises the president’s support of what he describes as a successful “realpolitik” approach to the region, he acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria.

“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019.

Now that everyone in DC is sure that Biden won and won’t prosecute them, they are admitting to lying to and sabotaging Trump’s role a Commander in Chief.

To accept that a bunch of bureaucrats undermined the presidency because they didn’t like the man in office, and felt safe to admit that because they knew the incoming administration would protect them is to accept the end of our government and freedom.

If Trump really is a lame duck, he needs to spend his lame duck time purging the swamp in true Stalinist fashion.

Jair Bolsonaro Tells Brazil Not To Deal COVID-19 Pandemic “Like Fags”

President Jair Bolsonaro drew criticism Tuesday for telling Brazilians not to deal with Covid-19 like “a country of fags,” the far-right leader’s latest controversial outburst on the pandemic.

“I regret the deaths. I really do. But we’re all going to die someday. There’s no use fleeing reality. We have to stop being a country of fags…. We have to face up to it and fight. I hate this faggot stuff.”

Well then…

And we fret in this country about Trump’s rhetoric.

I bet this guy’s balls have their own secret service details.

I am gonna need a hoist to recover my lower jaw. From the NY Post:

Strippers of color in Oregon are eligible to receive federal COVID-19 relief funds thanks to a local sex workers advocacy group.

Nearly $600,000 was made available in a grant awarded to the organization Haymarket Pole Collective, with priority for black, indigenous and transgender applicants, The Oregonian reported.

The grant will supply 75 sex workers with up to $1,600 in rent assistance, $500 toward utilities and $150 for internet, the report said.

Not for nothing guys, but I make it a rule not to give away money to strippers, but along comes the government and gives away our money anyway because “racial harmony” and Chinese virus.

I need a vacation.

The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) announced that COVID-19’s fatality rate dropped 30% since April.

But yet we need to cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas.

From Reuters:

In the United States, COVID-19 now kills about 0.6% of people infected with the virus, compared with around 0.9% early in the pandemic, IHME Director Dr. Christopher Murray told Reuters.

He said statistics reflect that doctors have figured out better ways to care for patients, including the use of blood thinners and oxygen support. Effective treatments, such as the generic steroid dexamethasone, have also been identified.

Experts have struggled to accurately measure a crucial metric in the pandemic: the fatality rate, or percentage of people infected with the pathogen who are likely to die. The difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that many people who become infected do not experience symptoms and are never identified.

Wait one: 99.4% of the people that get the Wuhan V will survive? And the Biden team is already planning on locking down the country for a sickness that is less likely to kill you than walking late at night in Democrat-Controlled city?

Bravo Democrats, you voted well.

Vista Outdoors reports ammunition backlog of over $1B

Big-name shooting sports company Vista Outdoor Inc. reported “over a year’s worth” of backlogged ammunition orders worth more than $1 billion, an official said recently.

Vista was reporting its second-quarter earnings when CEO Chris Metz detailed what announced the backlog, which he called “unprecedented” for the company.

“We currently have over a year’s worth of orders for ammunition in excess of $1 billion,” Metz said during the Nov. 5 call. “With demand far outstripping supply and inventory levels in the channel at all-time lows, we see strong demand continuing, and this metric informs our viewpoint of what a recovery or normalization could look like.”

One billion dollars in backorders.

Yup.
