At least 15 people have been killed and two others injured following an attack on a Catholic church in north-eastern Burkina Faso on Sunday.

It took place during Sunday worship in Essakane village in Oudalan province – close to the border with Mali. Few details have been given.
A church official indicated the gunmen were suspected Islamist militants.

Africs without a doubt is the most dangerous location to be a practicing Catholic. The example above is sadly the rule rather than the exception, but it does not get coverage in the U.S.

Then again, being a Catholic is now a suspicious activity by the Feds.

A conservative government watchdog has released almost 100 pages of FBI documents it says show the agency was not fully forthcoming about its actions surveilling and targeting Catholic churches.

“FBI Director Christopher Wray had told congressmen that the memo was ‘a single product by a single field office,’ but the records uncovered by Judicial Watch show that it was “Reviewed by: OGC/CDC [Office of General Counsel/Chief Deputy Counsel],'” Judicial Watch posted in a press release Friday.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a FOIA request related to an internal FBI memo leaked earlier this year, which revealed that the agency had efforts underway to identify and treat Catholics as “potential terrorists.”

“The records also indicate coordination with officials from Portland and Milwaukee,” the press release said.

The FBI Richmond internal memo, titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities,” was leaked in January and drew instant criticism from Republicans.

It identified “radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]” as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” and said that “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development.”

In our societal effort to be all inclusive, we have created a safe space for everybody but ourselves and our loved ones.

A mayor attack on a US Catholic church is due. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will not side with the flock but with the wolves by keeping the sheepdogs away from services and “forgiving” the killers.

I shan’t forgive the killers or the Bishops.

Update: After one of our commenters provided me with the correct term for this type of case, I was able to research “Stepped-cases” and found this is a thing.

As a reloader, I understand just how expensive and hard to get powder got. And how much more expensive it is today than 5 years ago. I believe that somebody spent the time and money to research reduced loads in smaller case sizes to get an answer that said it was cheaper to use more brass than it was to use more powder.

Regardless, my point remains, 100% inspection of cases is good policy and could save your firearm, hand, or even life.

Diamond K came through for me again. 2000+ cases arrived for processing.

1000+ .45 ACP and 1000+ 9 mm cases total. While they sell by count, they are actually shipping by weight.

From my quick test, 10 9 mm cases weigh around 37.3g, 250 cases are 932.5g. Counting by weight, I received about 40 extra cases in the 9 mm order, plus 2 extra in the .45 ACP. There was one .22 LR case and a single small stone holding that .22 case inside the 9 mm case.

But that isn’t the fun find.

Somebody missed a step:

That casing was not drawn out correctly. Somebody put a primer on the case, added powder and a bullet.

And it went to one of us like that.

When you are reloading, inspect every case.

He’s being celebrated because he supposedly did this to free Palestine.

I’m not sure how this helps.

But other news brought more information to light.

He was a “comrade” and was dedicated to “liberation.”

He was a communist. That is communist language.

This is how revolutionary communists speak of one another.

So not just did he support Hamas, he supported communism.

And on Sunday afternoon, he became a good communist by his own hand.

I hope it hurt a lot.

I just found this pic in my computer.

That is my old work bench in Miami and that is a double hook trigger group for AK.

I don’t recall it.

I checked by WSAR and it still has the crappy single hook it came with from Century Arms.

Where the @#*& is that trigger group? I don’t even know where to begin looking for it.

PS: The recoil buffer went to pieces lord knows how long ago and it was all over the inside…. and the gun kept shooting.

I saw a sale in LEO trades that even make me think about violating my standard self- promise of not buying anything in .40 Short&Weak, and just posted the link in the Book of Faces for those who may be interested:

A couple of minutes later, I got hit by the Zuckbots.

What the fuck do I care about the community standards and laws of countries outside the US? And more importantly, why do you care, dear Facebook? And yes, I know the current administration would giggle itself out of testicles if they could ban the sale of firearms, but that is not the law.

I hit the automatic challenge decision button and somebody must have figured out they screwed up because the post got reinstated.

But now you know. You must be aware of all the laws and customs of all the governments around the world before posting to Facebook or face the consequences.
