Because the Episcopal conference of the Catholic Church in the United States keeps making churches Gun Free Zones.

And we cannot expect the Feds to help secure Catholic Churches, but just the opposite.

We are targets:

(U//FOUO) FBI Richmond assesses the increasingly observed interest of racially or ethnically
motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC)a
ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for
tripwire and source development.

I fear we will see a mass casualty event in a church soon enough, just like it has been happening in other continents for decades.

If you do worship, do have faith in the Lord.

…..but keep one hand on your weapon because Him I trust, anybody else needs to keep hands where I can see them.

I just love it. The favorite Liberal tool to “solve” crimes is now a hood-wearing, white-horse-riding racist implement.

Defund AI!

PS: Doing a search, I also found this news item.

It is sad (not really) to see that the ACLU emotes less respect than a cancelled sitcom.

This tweet has been all over the webs being rightfully ridiculed.

The number of unfit, unskilled men claiming they can “take her” merely based on the fact that they are men…

Yes, men are on average stronger. But take an unfit man in a somewhat similar weight class and she’s winning. https://t.co/84ZCSZYlSr

The first thing that came to my mind was this old Marine Pugil Stick match.

Like people watching Disney movies have developed wrong impression about animals, there is a whole ‘nother herd of innocent beings who have seen one too many martail arts/fantasy flicks and like in this case, believe extended baton twirling is actually a power equalizer.

Till they find out the hard way it is not. This, at best has the effectiveness of a rape whistle.

If you are a female and need to make noise to repel an attacker, use the appropriate instrument.

I was thinking last night if the Pro Hamas crowd would actually be dumb enough to crash the NRA Annual Meeting in Dallas. It should be fun to watch if they did.

And I am waiting for the annual tweet from Sharon Watts misinforming lying about the NRA not allowing the carrying of guns.

You guys let me know.

PS: Hopefully next year they will hold the meeting closer to Nashville. I would not mind attending.

After checking with other people who know more about guns than me and confirming there is no decent way to mate the Spike’s Tactical Lower with the Kaw Valley Precision upper, I have decided to get rid of the lower, get a Glock magazine adapter for regular AR lowers which I know mate well with the KVP. The other option would be an even swap for a PSA dedicated lower locally as I need to make 100% sure they do mate properly even though I keep getting assured over a stack of bibles they do indeed match.

And if I get any more annoyed, I will be willing to trade the whole shit for the shortest complete and reliable 5.56 upper.

A Ruger Charger in 9mm will also be very acceptable. And I have the nagging suspicion I should have gone this way from the beginning but wanted something super light for the missus.

One thing is for sure: This is my last AR-9 build. At least till they get their shit together and standardize the whole platform

I plea the 5th on this one.
