Suburban Sheepdog: The way they should go*

Fifteen children, just a couple more boys than girls, white and black and Latino and Asian. The rifles were all different colors, too, including pink. The youngest child was five or so; the oldest 14. Likewise the rifles, some brand new, some much-loved heirlooms. Moms and dads at their shoulders, some children fired their first shots ever; others comfortably showed mom and dad a thing or two.

Brother Robert The K gives us a description of last Saturday’s Picnic Match. The kids shooting should give blood clots to the Antis although I don’t see the suppressed Ruger 10-22 in the pic. Last time, the kids complained that the adults were hogging the gun and refused to share it.

Suppressed 10-22 from another year’s Picnic Match. Sweet gun!

PS: I HATE THEE, EVIL COLD VIRUS! You made me miss my favorite match of the year. At least I am done shivering, sneezing and leaking through my nose, some cough remains.

They are all OK as the picture below shows.
maschopperThey were on a hog hunting trip and apparently the engine quit. I would say good piloting skills and God’s hand were instrumental.

Hopefully Gail & Terri will not hurt them too much 🙂

UPDATE: Mas tells what happens in his Blog and plenty pics.

 

And in the “Osculate my Rear End” Category.

Introduced by the (dis)Honorable Senator from the People’s Republic of California Barbara Boxer.

S.147

Latest Title: A bill to establish minimum standards for States that allow the carrying of concealed firearms.

via Bill Summary & Status – 113th Congress (2013 – 2014) – S.147 – THOMAS (Library of Congress).

No text yet, but it does not require an elastic mind to figure out she wants to federally regulate concealed carry. Fat Effing Chance.

UPDATE: Linky fixed

This is why I call them Congresscritters.

Gillibrand said she and Kirk plan to introduce a bill next week that would make gun trafficking a federal crime.

Are these two idiots aware of 18 USC Chapter 44 – Firearms ?

Sub 922 defines trafficking 7 ways from Sunday and sub 924 provides the penalties from 5 to 10 years plus “cash & prizes’ incentives.” You tell me that they are going to increase the penalties for illegal trafficking and I am there, but to say there are no provisions in our Federal law? That is just plain ignorance brought out to the light for their stupid need to be in the limelight.
