Ain’t that the truth.

The pendulum is about to swing and the “intelligentsia” in charge is scares shitless about paying back for what have they done. I hope this is what they get to see.

The sweep of the pendulum had increased in extent by nearly a yard. As a natural consequence, its velocity was also much greater. But what mainly disturbed me was the idea that had perceptibly descended. I now observed — with what horror it is needless to say — that its nether extremity was formed of a crescent of glittering steel, about a foot in length from horn to horn; the horns upward, and the under edge evidently as keen as that of a razor. Like a razor also, it seemed massy and heavy, tapering from the edge into a solid and broad structure above. It was appended to a weighty rod of brass, and the whole hissed as it swung through the air.

The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe.

And I get the feeling that General Lasalle will not arrive in time.

Is that a Swiss cheese? Nope, that is the official explanation of the attack on Paul Pelosi.

I have entered my “Get off my lawn” phase of life. Any deviation of my routine or simply watching uselessness on people leaves me grumbling and the absolute desire to be left alone. Of course, the wife will not let me be and I have to “mingle” among society’s dumbasses without causing them injury or even embarrassment.

I hear that the remake of Babylon 5 has been postponed. No idea why, but the lack of imaginative projects from most Hollywood and Satellites makes me breathe a little easier that such a good show is not destroyed by a shitty remake. If you need an example, I dare you to deal with the new Quantum Leap… dear God, what a shitshow! Absolute lack of a coherent script and it did not take them long to inject woke politics in it.

And be ready and packing just in case the Libs go stupid after next Tuesday.

A fisking we shall go?

About once a day I stumble on an article that is filled with half truths and lies about guns, gun laws and other second amendment issues. Some of those seem to travel far and wide with nobody calling BS on them.

I’ve started fisking one such article.

Let me know if you want more fisking articles.  Feel free to send us articles you’d like us to fisk.

Feel free to let loose below and give us some feedback.

I do hope this is a good acting scene because if he is not acting, we may see him a top of the clock tower trying to save The People by killing them.

I need more ammo.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, and how angry it makes me to hear, anti gun idiots claim that someone didn’t need to shoot an attacker armed with a knife.

Man accused in stabbing deaths of 2 people in Georgetown released from jail days earlier

Prosecutors said two murder victims killed in an apartment in Georgetown were stabbed around 160 times in total.

Seattle Police arrested John Marcel Williams for killing a 53-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman inside an apartment on the 6100 block of 4th Ave S. The murders happened Sunday afternoon around 4:15 pm when a witness discovered the two victims.

Court documents say the suspect was seen on surveillance video walking towards the apartment with Wooden, “then leaving the apartment and appears to have blood on his hands.”

Police got a 911 call about a half hour later about a man walking around covered in blood, arresting the suspect within walking distance of the murder scene.

Court records show Williams has at least 65 arrests out of California and four just this year in Washington state for attempted rape, property destruction, vehicle prowling, unlawful use of weapons and misdemeanor assault.

Williams was previously arrested Labor Day weekend for attacking workers at Bacco Café near Pike Place Market. He was only charged with misdemeanor assault in that case.

The Seattle City Attorney’s Office says they negotiated a plea agreement for Williams to serve 60 days in jail with the rest of his nearly year-long sentence suspended for 24 months.

Williams pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor assault, was sentenced to 56 days in jail with credit for time served and had just been released on Friday before police said he committed the murders just two days later.

Of course this guy was arrested 65 times, spent a couple of days in jail for assault, and was released 48 hours before committing two murders.

That’s part for the course in Seattle.

The thing to note is that this guy stabbed two people 160 times.

Thats roughly 80 stab wounds per person.

Think of how long that would take?

That would turn a human into ground meat.

Absolutely a gun is legitimate defense against that level of violence.

Never let them say “he only had a knife.”

“Only had a knife” is enough to turn a person into human tartar.

The first firearm reached the New World in 1492

This might be true but is dependent on nobody else having reached the new world.  There are indications of other peoples getting to the new world before the Europeans.  But likely true.  Of course the article leaves out the fact that the Chinese invented gunpowder long before and did have some cannon like things.

While they then put up the old saw that people were only firing 3 rounds per minute.  Even though there were air rifles that fired much faster and a sort of automatic gun based on muzzle loading and black powder.

Record climb in background checks during the COVID-19 pandemic

And the records keep being broken.  The article seems to feel that there was no reason for people arming themselves, because everybody was locked down, socially distancing and businesses were closed.  They just happened to leave out that there were a great deal of “mostly peaceful protests” and that violence seemed to be escalating.

Americans purchased more firearms in 2020 and 2021 than at any point in the nation’s history

Good for them!  And they are buying more this year than last year.  Seems to be a trend.

The Second Amendment is at odds with modern politics

<blockquote>The Constitutional definition regarding “the right to bear arms” is questionable in an age of mass shootings, dividing many Americans whose opinions on gun ownership differ. The Atlantic reports that while the “contextual reading is quite enlightening” in the amendment, its initial and sole purpose was to permit U.S. states to create armed militias legally.</blockquote>

And the not lie lie.  They didn’t say it, <i>The Atlantic</i> reports it.  If they got it wrong, sorry.  Same game as “experts say”.  This particular piece of BS is normal.

Protection cited as a primary reason for ownership

Language is delightfully colored.  “claim to own firearms primarily for protection against crime.”  The word “claim” doesn’t really need to be there. It leaves a subtle hint that it isn’t quite true that it is for protection against crime, they just claim it is.

More Americans want stricter controls

Yep, they do say that.  But most Americans have no idea what the actual gun laws are.  Is the gun law that makes it a felony for my kid to carry a spent case across an imaginary line a couple of miles from us not strict enough?  Do they even know what the gun laws are in their own state?

Most people have never purchased a firearm.  They’ve never seen a 4473 or had to fill one out.  They don’t know so the question is moot.  Most people when they find out what the laws actually are, are not looking for still stricter infringments.

Ban of bump stocks upheld by the Supreme Court

An out and out lie.  The court denied certiorari.  This does not mean that they upload the ban.  It means they didn’t bother to hear it.  That is likely because they wanted a clearer case, such as Bruen, which allowed them to say “if it isn’t in the text and history of the 2nd, around 1791, it is unconstitutional”

The leading cause of death for children in the U.S. is guns

Words have meaning.  When we think of “children” most people think ages 1-12.  They think of 13-17 as teenagers or young adults.  18 and up are adults.  But the term used is “adolescent fatality”.  This means that it includes not just children age 1-12, but also all the gang bangers that ended up dead in very adult activities.

Only certain states require background checks

Another flat out lie. It seems that they don’t think that a NICS check is really a background check and that a more comprehensive “personal history release” is needed.  And they claim that if you buy a gun “online” you don’t have to do a background check.

The blunt of it is that you need to go through a background check for any firearm you purchase that isn’t a person to person sale or FFL to FFL.  And the feds do not take lightly to people making money buying and selling firearms without an FFL.

2016 saw record-breaking gun manufacturing

And it is highly likely that there will be more manufactured this year than last.  Just like there are more of many items manufactured every year.

More guns is not something to be feared.

Mike Tyson famously said:

“Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.”

Exhibit A:

If this was my wife who developed a heart condition from the vaccine and someone said this to me about her, there would be a plane ticket purchase and violence.

These people got way too comfortable saying shit about people and not getting punched in the face for it.

These people need to learn their lesson, paid with interest.

Some percussive dentistry with the back side of a garden spade is owed to a lot of people.
