Oh dear God. Who let the door of the Socialist Asylum open? All of the sudden, the most ridiculous Liberal idea is a valid electoral platform for this election cycle. Never get high on your own supply.

Anyway, local Republicans should support this guy and allow him to be the candidate for the Democrats. It should be easy to beat come November.

So, it is the caliber that kills people and not the shooter.

The likelihood that a shooting will be fatal is directly related to the caliber of the firearm used, according to a new study released Friday by Northeastern University and Duke University. The researchers conclude that in their sample of 367 shooting cases in Boston during a five-year period, there would have been nearly 40 percent fewer deaths if only low-caliber weapons had been used.
New study on firearm caliber questions the notion that ‘guns don’t kill people’

They discovered water is wet and fire burns, holy crap, we are talking Nobel prize stuff right here.

“Our study gets to the heart of the notion that ‘guns don’t kill people; people kill people,’” said Anthony Braga, a Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice at Northeastern.

Must have discovered them infamous “possessed guns” that shoot on their own without the intervention of human manipulation.

“That slogan is based on the contention that gun control is ineffective because if a person wants to kill someone, they will find a way to do it, no matter what types of weapons are available.”

No, you Dumb Diploma-Bearer, that is not what it means and it never was. It simply states that unless there is a human behind the gun pulling the trigger. But thanks for admitting your focus is Gun Control.

The study, which was published in JAMA Network Open and funded by the United States Bureau of Justice Assistance, concludes that it is incorrect to dismiss firepower as a factor in shooting fatalities. The authors do not propose any specific gun control measures and acknowledge that both the intent of the shooter and chance also play a role in whether the victim lives or dies.

I reckon they mean that the shooter after all needs to pull the trigger (contrary to their opening statement) , be accurate and intend to hit the victim. Something along the lines that  a hit with a .22LR will hurt much more than a miss with a .45 ACP, another slogan we share on the gun community. And, of course that a gun cannot shoot itself while somebody walks in front of it.

“People who oppose gun control are not convinced that the type of weapon matters,” he said. “We are not saying caliber is more important than intent.

Yes, that is what you are saying. Problem is that it is not that simple.

I have to come to the conclusion that these PhD Idiots are being particularly dense about the issue. a .22LR and a .223 are the same caliber class, yet the amount of damage they create is so different that it is not even funny.  They do not know what they are talking about and here is the proof, remember, this study is about what calibers do to people. So what is caliber?

So how did these distinguished members of intelligentsia performed their research?

For those Ballistically Impaired, .38 and .357 are the same caliber. Yet it is grouped with the .45. The 7.62×39 is a 30 caliber bullet which it also gets put in the same .45 ACP & .44 Magnum goulash. This is a monumental mistake that can only be explained by people with an absolute ignorance in the matter decided to try to do a study without understanding the basic principles of ballistics. These are principles that any gun owner has and that any “redneck” that reloads knows by heart. Who knows how much time and money they spent in creating this study and yet they failed to do some simple reading of material that could be found no further than your Amazon account or public library: A reloading manual.

Let’ me give you some examples:

These are the same diameter of bullets and anybody that shoots revolvers know so. But according to the study, the one on the left is of less diameter that the one on the right.

The one on the left is a 7.62×39 round which has a .30 round caliber bullet a top,  rifle round. yet the geniuses put it in the same category as the .357 Magnum even though as awesome as it is, it does not do the same amount for damage even when it is a bigger caliber than the rifle bullet.

Again the same idiocy: The 7,62×39 a rifle round allegedly makes the same amount of damage than the venerable .45 ACP. Even the most die-hard fan of John Moses Browning will not commit the indecency of saying that a handgun round will outmatch that rifle round.

Anybody that shoots and most that do not shoot understand that what makes a bullet exact more or less damage is not one factor but a combination of (at the very basic) caliber, weight, shape and velocity. Our “researchers” either simply  ignored the very basics of terminal ballistics or were ignorant about it.

I think this whole study was a “woke” attempt to cause ruckus and maybe to get some research funding which is the number one priority is College for the Intelligentsia as I reckon the salary might not be enough.

The sad part? This “break-through study” is not only poorly structured and research, but already done by true scientists. Once again, Amazon would have come to the rescue:

This is one of several books in the subject. I’d say that whoever gave the grant to the people who did the “research” should demand his money back.

PS: I would love to get hand in the raw data. I want to see how many people were killed/injured with 10mm and .44 Magnums. Those are calibers you do not hear much being involved in crime or other criminal mischiefs.

So tonight at midnight, the blueprints for the Liberator 3D gun and possibly others will be once again available to the public. Gun Control groups and other relevant idiots are making so much noise, you would think by Monday night, every gangbanger in NY or Chicago will have an untraceable mini gun or a .50 caliber sniper rifle rather than this:

Basically we are getting the plans for an 80cc bicycle 2-stroke engine and Shannon Watts swears we are getting a free Bugatti Veyron.

Pay attention and see if you can catch the big “oops!”

“Slap it like it was kinky girlfriend.” applies to pistols and not necessarily ARs, but I was told that when I was learning and always loved the line.

Sometimes I can’t figure out the algorithm that Google and YouTube use to recommend videos to me.

I went to YouTube and one of my first recommended videos was this one from Refinery 29 on transgender healthcare.

“What does a broken toe have to do with genitals?” this trans person asks.  I’ll get back to that.

“We swap hormone regimens like…”  So are they telling other people how to dose themselves with drugs or are they actually swapping prescriptions?  Either way is horrifying and possibly illegal.

“It’s not up to you to decide whats medically appropriate.”  Actually, I’m pretty sure that it is for the guy with the MD after his him to decide that.

That video jumped by auto play into this one.

Halfway through that video, Sophia Stanford says that at six years old she was ready to “step in front of a car” over trans issues.   A suicidal six year old is egregiously aberrant psychology.  Something is very wrong with that person.

That video auto played into this one.

A male with pathologically low testosterone is clearly suffering from some sort of illness that prohibits the body from making the necessary level of hormones.  Contrast that to a female who is making the appropriate  hormones but wants to have the hormone balance of a male.  I’m not an MD, but it seems to me that these are very different situations.

By now I have had enough.  The overall thesis is that the medical community treats transgender people horribly.  So horribly that they deny themselves medical care and have to take medicine into their own hands.

One point made was that most doctors don’t know hoe to treat trans issues.  Forgive me but the most liberal data still says that only 0.6% of the population is Trans.  I think that includes a lot of trans-trenders who want to stand out on campus or Tumblr, but lets sat that’s accurate.  The expectation is that any random doctor will understand all the issues of dealing with a condition that affects less than 1% of the population?  That’s unreasonable.

But when we get right down to it, what these people seem to want is for their doctors to put their religious beliefs over real medicine.  By religious beliefs I’m talking about a form of ardent Left wind gender ideology that rivals Jihadi Islam in its fervor and devotion.

We know this because to an MD, genitals are important to a broken toe.

We know, as in it is a fact, males and females have different physiologies, and those differences affect men and women in different ways.

The symptoms of heart attacks in men and women are different.  So much so that heart attacks in women are often called silent heart attacks.  Various cancers, autoimmune diseases, kidney disease, even mental illness have different prevalence  in men and women.

How a trans person presents to a doctor is part of the diagnostic process.  Is the pain appendicitis or ectopic pregnancy is going to depend on if the person has a womb.

There are a wide range of drugs that behave differently in men and women.  These include painkillers and anti-depressants.  Drug metabolic rates also change with the sexes.

If that person’s broken to required pain killers or even surgery, that person’s genitals are going to be factored into what drugs and what that dosage he or she might get.

These people may think that they can change their gender but that won’t change their physiology or biochemistry.

It seems what they ultimately want is for doctors to buy into their identity 100% through the force of law.  I don’t think they fully understand the unintended consequence of this.  But at this point, why should be protect the radicals on the Left from their own ideology.

Sometime in the future, after these people have gotten what they want, I can only imagine this conversation happening.

Trans-woman: “So what is your diagnosis.”

Doctor: “Well, everything points to a very aggressive form of prostate cancer which has a high likelihood of metastasizing and killing you, but since you identify as a woman, it can’t be that at all.  It must be a UTI.  Here’s an antibiotic.  I hope you feel better.”

I saw this on the Twitter.

Yeah!!!  WOLVERINES!!!

Just like in Red Dawn after those kids defeated the Soviet invasion of the United States with poster board signs and cardboard cutouts…

Maybe that was the 2012 remake which I refused to see.

In the original 1984 movie the I grew up with, the “WOLVERINES!!!” thing went a little more like this:

Red Dawn is about as pro-gun a movie as has ever been made.  It stirs the part of the American soul that is left in us from our Minute Man forefathers.

The whole idea of Red Dawn is American gun owners defending their homes and families from tyranny.

Then there is that sad sack of protesters.

The election of Donald Trump is not a Russian invasion of the US, and handful of protesters carrying signs that say “traitor” is not a guerrilla resistance.

I may see the word “WOLVERINES” but all I hear is a sad sounding fart.

These people don’t understand what tyranny really is.  The don’t understand gun culture.  They don’t understand the movie Red Dawn.  They don’t understand what it is to be American.  They don’t understand a damn thing.

This is protest is to sad and pathetic is makes the idiots who dance around in velour vaginas look cogent, and that’s saying something.

Some people have taste. They can decorate and make it useful at the same time..
