Why you need high capacity mags

Sometimes bad guys come more than one at a time:

Screams heard as 6 suspects force their way into Tacoma home

In Pierce County, police are searching for six people who forced their way into a home in Tacoma.

Video from a Ring camera captured the terrified screams from inside the home.

Tacoma police told KIRO 7 the suspects kicked in the door at a home on South Trafton Street before 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

Officials say the group held the occupants at gunpoint, stole items, then left.

Six people.

Six.

This is the type of situation where a high capacity magazine, perhaps in an AR-15, is necessary.

The bureaucrats who tell you that you only need 10 rounds to hunt deer don’t consider half a dozen people with the intention of doing you harm kicking in your door at dark o’clock in the morning.

Time to check zero again

These two inbred fuck-nut shit-weasels.

Tweedle Dipshit and Tweedle Dumbass can burn whatever they want on their property.

Come near my home or Synagogue and they will spend their entire time demonstrating in literal crosshairs with me praying for a legal excuse to send it.

The Soviet impulse of the American Left

This old Leftist fuck is very proud of his shirt.

May I remind you that deportation was what the Soviets called stripping a citizen of their rights and sending them to the Gulag.

In the Soviet system, citizenship is irrelevant, only ideology matters.

If you did not agree with the ideology, you could be unpersoned.

The American Leftist is no different.

Your rights as a citizen depend on your ideology.

Agree with them and you can have all the rights of citizenship even if you’re not one.

Disagree with them and you rights as a citizen are revoked.

We just want to be left alone. They want to drag us from our homes and deport us.

And you wonder why I support the Second Amendment.

Good youth gun news

I love a bit of good news.

Minnesota youth trap shooting explodes — with help from the NRA

On opening day of the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League championship, the Alexandria Shooting Park sounds like a very loud batch of popcorn. Squads of five teammates, lined up in a row, fire shotguns at blaze-orange discs streaking across the sky. “Pop!” “Pop!” “Pop! Pop! Pop!” The nine-day event, which has more than 8,000 competitors, is billed as the largest trap-shooting tournament in the country.

Clay-target shooting, a longtime Olympic sport, includes four disciplines, of which trap is most popular. Though it’s an individual sport, shooting in teams has a social aspect. “It’s like golf only louder,” says John Nelson, who oversees the tournament as president of the Eagan-based USA Clay Target League and its Minnesota chapter.

USA Clay Target League is the largest youth clay-target shooting organization in the country, with more than 46,000 members in grades 6-12. Roughly 12,000 of those participants are in Minnesota, which has teams in about 350 of its 500 or so high schools. (Football, the state’s largest high-school sport, has around 20,000 participants; boys and girls hockey has 8,000)

In just two decades, clay target has become one of the country’s fastest-growing high-school sports. And Minnesota is, arguably, the epicenter of youth trap’s nationwide boom.

Students say they develop skills and friendships through the sport. But they aren’t the only ones benefitting from the league’s explosive growth. Retailers sell more firearms and ammunition (league participants go through 350,000 cases annually) — and conservation groups get a cut of the tax on those purchases.

More controversially, the National Rifle Association stands to bolster its ranks with youth trap shooters by donating millions to the sport, unnerving advocates of gun-violence prevention.

The league gave schools the playbook for bringing together students, coaches, a gun club, safety certification, and insurance. It also facilitated “virtual” competitions (teams shoot independently at gun clubs and compare scores). “Our approach was: We want this to look and smell and taste like a high-school sport,” Nelson said. “We want kids to letter. We want kids to be recognized in the yearbook.”

Minnesota became the first state to have its high school league endorse clay-target shooting, which lent the sport credibility among wary school administrators. “If you go in and say, ‘I have a program that’s gonna involve kids and guns and schools,’ you get a lot of doors closed on you,” Nelson recalled.

The kids are enjoying trap shooting.

They are outside, playing a sport, an Olympic sport, building skills and making friends.

They are learning gun safety and responsible sportsmanship.

This exactly what youth sports are all about.

I really hope more states develop programs like this.

This is how we win, by demonstrating to the next generation that the shooting sports are fun and safe.

Municipal ranges

I saw this on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/Dead_like_you/status/1669949884101787649?s=19

 

Allow me to explain.

You will see ranges like this in the Midwest.

They are public municipal ranges on land managed by a law enforcement agency like Fish & Game, or in this case, the Department of Natural Resources.

The bureaucracy hates the range but for various legal reasons, can’t shut it down.

Instead, they make the range inconvenient to use, with capricious rules.

They don’t want people to shoot here, so they geared it towards hunters who might shoot a few rounds to zero their hunting rifle for the season then leave.

So yes, it’s a Fudd range, run by Fudd bureaucracy.

He’s only 90% wrong

I saw Miguel’s post on this, and I thought I’d give my perspective.

 

If you know anything about Leftist rhetorical tactics, you know they try to make arguments by conflating two things.

For example:

They will say something about how “immigrants actually commit crimes at a rate lower than native born Americans” and then go on to defend illegal immigrants.

It’s misdirection by conflating.

It’s true that legal immigrants who entered America on visas and with background checks do commit crimes at a lower rate than legal immigrants.  Our system selects good people, and the legal immigrants know that if they break the law, they will be deported.

Illegal immigrants commit crimes at a higher rate than native born Americans. Arguably, a rate of 100% if you count the initial act of illegally crossing the border to begin with.

The Left knows this, but can only “win” their argument defending illegal immigrants by conflating crime statistics about legal and illegal immigration.

In the gun world, for decades, the Left talked a out the “gun show loophole.”

They would conflate a dealer with a booth who had to run NICS checks on buyers, with the lone private citizen who was selling one personally owned gun. Thats not a loophole, thats the law. They can’t be honest and explain that or their fear mongering falls flat.

So what is Biden talking about here.

I used to live outside of Chicago. Chicago has a terrible problem with illegal guns.

You cannot own a gun in Illinois without a permit called a FOID. So how do all those criminals without permits get guns?

The black market. There are guys who deal in illegal goods, guns and drugs most frequently.

Their two major sources of illegal guns are guns stolen from people’s homes (lock up your guns), or straw purchases from dows state or out of state.

So yes, you can buy a gun in Chicago from the trunk of a car.

That guy is a criminal, he’s always been a criminal, and the biggest problem is that those guys rarely were every prosecuted adequately for illegal arms trafficking.

So here is Biden conflating fences and black marketeers with FFL dealers.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s a senile old man with pudding for brains, he’s a Leftist lying by conflation the way Leftist do, or both.

My ideas for a King of the Hill update

I’ve been busy as shit at work and have been suffering from rage burnout, so I’ve been a little absent from posting.

I read a thing recently about how Mike Judge may, again, be doing a King of the Hill update/sequel/reboot.

I love that show.  Hank Hill was the bast dad on TV until Bandit in Bluey, and Hank still holds a close second.

They haven’t released many details, so this, as a big fan, are some ideas I had, because why the fuck not.

I want to see it as a King of the Hill: The Next Generation.  Same characters, just 20 years later.

Hank is now a partner and co-owner of Strickland Propane, which is now Strickland & Hill Propane.  Hank has earned it.

Buck is still alive but in partial retirement on the gulf coast.  Hand runs the business but Buck occasionally sticks his nose in and Hank has to fix his mess.

Hanks is grandpa to Cotton Hill, Bobby’s son, and tries to be the same conservative influence on him.

Bobby is grown up.  He’s shown in several episodes to have a great skill with food and meat (the one where he takes Home Ec and makes Thanksgiving dinner, the Bill BBQ sauce episode, and the series finally where he does the beef judging), so I want him to go to culinary school and be a moderately successful chef and restaurant owner. He owns a small regional chain of BBQ and Steak places.

I think a fun arc will be him wanting to get back to his comedy roots and try to start a comedy club restaurant.

I don’t know if I want him married to Connie or not, that has potential to be stupid.  But I do want him married and learning that Hank’s brand of practical conservatism was good for Bobby, even though Bobby didn’t quite understand that at the time.

Peggy is still Peggy, just grandma Peggy now.

I want Luanne back, despite the death of Brittany Murphy.  I want her to be a professional Christian YouTuber with her manger baby series. She makes good money but she and Lucky piss it away as fast as they make it on dumb stuff, the way rednecks do when they win the Lottery.  Lucky’s antics with money could be a useful plot device for comedy, e.g., Lucky buys something dumb in a crackpot idea.

Dale is still Dale, perhaps even more Dale.  He’s a fool, he doesn’t need to change.

Bill is the biggest change. I want good things for Bill.

Bill is out of the Army, he’s too old anyway.  He lost a leg, not in combat but to diabetes.  He went through a period of serious depression but finally got better.  He now works for a veteran non-profit where he helps combat amputees with their emotional struggles.  Very much the “I’ve been there, I understand, I’ll help you through this.”  He still has a deep desire to serve.

I want Bill treated with respect but a one legged Bill can still be used for comedy.  I see Dale keep trying to come up with ways to uses Bill’s disability to his advantage, e.g., taking Bill to Six Flags with Joseph and his grandson to get to the front of the line.

The overall feel of the show would be able to stay the same.  Hank, and now Bobby too, trying to live honest, small town, lives in world that seems to be more and more going mad with petty absurdities.

Just a thought.
