Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Waukesha Vehicular Mass Killing: The defensive narrative of Darrell Brooks is forming. UPDATE: First Narrative dies.

The Left has already began to form a defensive narrative to explain why alleged mass killed Darrell Brooks did what he did.

And again, there is a problem: There is video of the burgundy SUV going through the parade and there is something missing in all of the takes.

Not once can you see if he is being chased by anybody.

Not once you can hear him blowing the horn to get people out of the way. And why would you augment a simple stabbing by running over a crowd of grandmothers and teen girls?

Not once he is seen slowing down.

So, he was fleeing what exactly? I am guessing he was not fleeing squat, but a narrative must be formed ASAP as not to lose the faux indignation momentum of the Rittenhouse verdict.


PS: And if it seems that is actions are indefensible, bury the story.  Maybe nobody will notice. Ostrich journalism.

UPDATE: He was not being pursued.

ConFinement coming to Middle Tennessee.

Michael Z. Williamson was kind enough to alert/invite.

ConFinement | ConFinement (confinementcon.org)

Winter Dates: February 25-27, 2022
– Information can be found here: Winter 2022.
Why?
Confinement came about for two reasons.
First, despite many conventions cancelling, there were a bunch of sci fi authors who needed to talk to our publisher and editors, and there’s no convenient way to Skype or Zoom that many people, so it was going to be in person.  And since we were all going to be together, we might as well invite the fans and make it a convention.
Second, there actually are a significant number of people who shouldn’t wear masks (even though some of them force themselves to do so), and we wanted a get together where those with limitations wouldn’t be harassed by ableist twits.
Thus, ConFinement led to the Emergency Holographic Convention, to ConFinement II, and now ConFinement 2.5, and maybe beyond.
This is a small SF convention for authors and fans.  We haven’t had any major GoHs yet, though we have significant regular attendees at this point.  We’re game, but for various reasons, quite a few pros are not able to travel or attend as of 2021, and that’s without considering Cooties.

This is gonna be fun. And it will be the first Con I have ever attended.  I

I particularly love this part.

Legal carry of weapons is permitted within the local laws and as long as you’re not intoxicated or stupid.

And a reminder that MHI fans do not cosplay but kit up.  😀

Here is the rest:

I will keep you posted.

Gun of the Day: Winchester Model 74.

Date of manufacturing probably 1st quarter 1951.

Belongs to Mother In Law. I checked for barrel obstruction, rust, cleanliness etc. It passed with flying colors including 10 rounds against a can lid 30 yards away.  Very smooth shooting and I enjoy the angled loading hole in the right side of the stock. Not so much a fan of the cross bolt safety a top of the receiver.

A very nice rundown of the rifle here:

Larry, go ahead and tell us how you feel.

I did not get this from “mainstream media,” and I am not brainwashed by the left.

-You lying piece of shit, that was regurgitated blue check mark twitter pontificating with some C- level essay answers about self-defense law tacked on. Mainstream media would be a step up for you, and that’s saying something because Brian Stelter is a potato.

I’m an independent progressive.

-Oh, EXCUSE ME. My apologies when I thought you were “left” when you’re an “independent progressive”, which is apparently a synonym for braindead ass-muppet who faps to Bernie Sanders speeches.
