There is snow outside and I said: “Why not a couple of gun pics with the AKlon?”

First, a lame attempt to recreate “Wolverines!” and which I decided to call “Olderines!”

And the second is just a more normal pose:

And this set of pics showed me the raw beauty of the simple AK: My fat gloved fingers had no problems inserting the mag, operating the safety lever, racking rounds manually, and finding the trigger with ease and space to operate. The stock is not original (I believe it is K-Var) but I kept the Soviet Block length rather than transitioning to the American extra inch stock and yes, it fits beautifully.

This effing rifle was designed to be shot in the cold, period.  It gave me shivers.

I saw this posted in Twitter, but I decided to check it out myself. Dear God, it is true: Tools for Social Workers to Prevent Gun Violence.

Social Workers who have been touted as the solution to stop cops shooting people because they are going to take over the arrests of the violently deranged while they massacre the shit out of a family in conjunction with the well-known and dumb Brady Campaign, specialist in Gun Violence and making unsuspected people sue the wrong companies, lose the case and their shirts while they wash their hands, have come up with the above-linked PDF that has this dumb photo in its cover

For the uninitiated, allow me to explain what is terribly wrong. Number one:  that trigger can be pulled, and I am willing to bet that it is already pulled and about 4 ounces away from firing the gun. Number 2: Once the trigger ends its travel, the stupid lock will fall into the trigger guard and becomes a stupid pendant doing absolutely nothing to secure that weapon.

This is not an instructional but a charge of manslaughter waiting to happen.  They could have gone on the Internet and search for revolver locks to obtain realistic images like this:

But then I remember: Gun Control groups get money only when people get shot. A safe gun does not kill anybody, and they can’t pump their fundraising efforts unless some innocent child is killed with a non-secured or desperately poorly secured weapon like the one above.

But we are the bloodthirsty people, right?

PS: If you have a gun at home and would like to know how to really keep it safe, start here: NRA Home Firearm Safety Course / NRA Training (nrainstructors.org)

Sorry, it is not based on anything but the twisted brain coming up with an answer for “Why?” and being smartass. It may end up being a perfectly good defensive round, but I am just being an a-hole.

Repeat child rapists will be sent to penal colonies in the ARCTIC for life under new proposals in Russia following horrific kidnap, rape and murder of girl, five

Russia is to toughen its child sex laws this month to automatically jail repeat paedophiles for life in harsh polar prisons.

Monsters who sexually abuse children should serve their sentences in hard labour penal colonies in the Arctic, where they could be forced to work in Siberian mines, the country’s parliamentary speaker said.

The new legislation is being pushed through after a horrific case this week of a girl, five, who was abducted by a recidivist paedophile and his lover, then raped and stabbed to death.

Parliamentary speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, said the ‘terrible tragedy’ of Veronika’s abuse and death showed the urgency of toughening laws.

‘One of the detained men turned out to be a formerly convicted paedophile,’ he said.

‘Let’s do everything for the law on life sentences for paedophiles to be adopted in January.’

You guys know me and my preference for woodchippers as an anti-pedophile recidivism tool.

However, I have read The Gulag Archipelago and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and that level of isolation and punitive cruelty is acceptable for pedophiles.

It’s difficult to be a rapist when your appendages have turned black and died from frostbite.

We don’t have anything like Siberia in the US (Alaska is much more mild).  Maybe we can work out a trade deal with the Russians that we can send our pedophiles to them for hard labor.

And if you still believe it was an insurrection, you are the moron Democrats love to cajole. Be sure and join them.
