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.

Insurrection: You keep using that word…

Kelsey Wilson, 30, and Zachary Wilson, 32, both of Springfield, each pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to a misdemeanor count of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building, the Kansas City Star reported.

Missouri husband, wife plead guilty in Capitol insurrection

Under the new approved Media Lingo, if the Undesirables trespass in a federal building, it should be reported to be an insurrection.

This why we do not trust the Media anymore and I doubt they will recover their reputation within a century. Probably will not care either.

Tell me again this is not Covid Theater of Horror

And the Media dutifully present and willing to spread the carefully (almost) crafted propaganda pose.  The only thing missing is the Hollywood gaffers in the background eating a sandwich and having coffee during their union-mandated break.

It is truly quiet.

CCI Quiet, 40 grain,  710 FPS

Just popped 10 rounds in the backyard to an old can wanted for different felonies and it is quiet as advertised. The Missus gave it a good description ” A loud BB gun.”  The offending can was about 25-30 yards and never stood a chance.

And also as advertised, this particular flavor at 710 FPS will not cycle my 10/22 which means I will need a bolt action .22LR in my future, preferably with a threaded barrel. I needed something if I saw Bubba LePew (Pepe LePew’s redneck cousin) again getting aggressive in our backyard again and this will be the ticket

PS: It is weird to actually step to a backyard and just plink away. At least my mind briefly had to process the idea that you can actually do that without having a swarm of cops descending on you.

Now matter how much syrup you put on, it is still a turd waffle.

How to announce you are living in an official apartheid  state without looking like Old school South Africa.

SYDNEY, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Australian authorities announced plans on Monday to gradually reopen locked-down Sydney, unveiling a two-tiered system that will give citizens inoculated for COVID-19 more freedoms than their unvaccinated neighbours for several weeks.

Movement restrictions across New South Wales, the country’s most populous state and home to Sydney, will be lifted gradually between Oct. 11 and Dec. 1 as vaccination rates push through 70%, 80% and 90%.

However, people who are not fully inoculated will be barred from joining the vaccinated to resume community sports, dining out, shopping and other activities until the final date.

Raise your hand if you truly believe there will be a “final date” when this government will allow its serfs to get back some of the graciously granted privileges they restricted in the first place. We are being deluged with horror stories about Delta variant and we have the Mu variant on deck while “scientists”  are describing the R1 variant has been found in California. As long as they have letters and numbers, bullshit science will dump “variants” on us every time they feel we are not minding two shits about their last manufactured scare for the Covid Theater of Horror.

You can always take the jab for the convenient reasons and become a proud member of the People’s Pandemic Party with full restoration of privileges and a mention in the local Pioneer’s Paper as a truly helpful member of society who cares for the well being of fellow serfs. Don’t take the jab and enjoy being a prisoner of the state in your own house and on your own dwindling dime. If you think about it, it is a genius solution to mass incarceration.

And before you lose a nut, remember I am vaccinated, but I did get the shot by personal choice and not by coercion or imposition. I will NOT get a booster (at least till I feel comfortable with the data) but we are planning on getting the Flu shot because no medical entity is giving a shit about it and I am not planning on being “misdiagnosed” because I have the sniffles.

I have the feeling the air travel bookings for Florida just increased by 500% in the last hour or so.

Say what you say about Governor Hochul: She is still following the Cuomo playbook when it comes to the Kung Flu..

Scoring some Quiet

Dead J mentioned subsonic .22LR while I get around getting a can and I just happened to score some this afternoon.

Regarding ammo: I can find .22LR, 5.56, 9 mm and even 7.62 Russian in quantities. .308 and 30-06 in less generous amounts and I even saw some Mosin Nagant ammo. But 30-30s? Dry wells everywhere. I wanted to get some for the BiL, but damn! It is like they hide it when they see me come in or there is just none to be get.

I am finally in the good graces of the Gun Community. (UPDATE)

This Ruger 10/22 is officially mine.

Although I understand the AR 15 upgrade/modification craziness, the fact that it is louder than what you can do with a 10/22 surprised me.  I might be off base here, but about the only tools you need for this thing is a Swiss Army knife and a hex key. This is an old model so the first modification was to add the extended mag release and next on the list will be the automatic bolt release. Both upgrades rang my wallet just cents over $30 and what I saw on other aftermarket parts, you can build a carbine from scratch with little money and even less technical effort.  Or I May just get me a threaded barrel and a new scope to install on this one for quiet backyard critter elimination.  Yes, I need a can too, thankfully, the ones for .22 cal are in the $ 500 area. Whatever I go, I can say I am enjoying the heck out this rifle as is.

And I am pissed at you, guys. You should have informed of this a decade or two ago.  🙂


UPDATE: The Tacbro  automatic bolt release arrived this afternoon rather than tomorrow. It took me all of 5-7 minutes to install it including a bit of file work which I knew it would be required and was ready for it.

Working as advertised.
