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.

USCCA gone Pincus or just plain Gun For the Selected Few?

I just saw this offshot/side site of US Concealed Carry Association being mentioned by some in Twitter.

US Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives. 

And one phrase in their donation request just triggered a whole slew of negative thoughts and premonitions.

Please tell me who is left in the Gun Community not knowing that “commonsense gun laws” is the proud brand and calling card of every Gun Control advocate and Politician in the US and has been for the past 3 decades?

And it gets worse.

 

This is from their Safety & Training – USCCA Saves Lives page and gives a link to bill H.R.880 – Firearm Safety Act of 2021 by Rep. Kelly, Robin L. [D-IL-2, Chicago]  that states:

To amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to remove the exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the definition of consumer product in order to permit the issuance of safety standards for such articles by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Yeah, that sounds reassuring like hell.

What the hell is USCCA doing supporting a bill from a Chicago Congresswoman who has sided 100% with PedoBiden intentions to impose Gun Control in our country?

Rep. Robin Kelly Applauds President Biden’s Initial Actions to Reduce Gun Violence | Congresswoman Robin Kelly (house.gov)  

And Universal Background Checks:

Rep. Robin Kelly Presides Over Passage of Gun Violence Prevention Legislation

And is heartily congratulated by the Brady Bunch:

“Brady applauds Congresswoman Kelly for her constant leadership in the fight to end gun violence in America,” said Kris Brown, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. “Her efforts to save lives during Gun Violence Survivors Week, when our country strives to elevate the voices of those most affected by gun violence, is just the most recent example of how she has championed gun violence prevention since her very first day in Congress. Brady thanks Congresswoman Kelly for her commitment to addressing our nation’s gun violence epidemic.”

I believe that a certain section of what used to be Gun Culture 2.0 has been bought or threatened into submission by the Gun Control foes with an unlimited checkbook and now government support.

Let us suffer no traitors.

The L.A. Pogrom has begun

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Authorities are investigating whether an attack on diners that occurred outside a Beverly Grove restaurant late Tuesday night was a Jewish hate crime.

Witnesses said a mob of pro-Palestinians attacked a group of Jewish men who were dining at the restaurant. Cell phone video showed a group of men get out of the car and start to attack them while yelling racial slurs.

Video: Jewish Men Attacked By Alleged Pro-Palestinian Mob Outside LA Sushi Restaurant

“Damn it, Miguel. You are overblowing all this.”
Sure I am, same article:

Meanwhile, police are also investigating a security video recorded Monday night which appears to show an Orthodox Jewish man being chased by a caravan of people waving Palestinian flags near Rosewood and La Brea avenues. The man escaped and was not hurt.

And as an added foreign bonus, I am seeing tweets and small news items (to be confirmed) that across the pond, houses with Mezuzahs on their doorposts are being targeted for vandalism and threats to the occupants. If that is confirmed and somehow the stupidity comes across the waters into our country, a reminder to non-Jewish Floridians that hunting over bait is not permitted by FWC, so don’t go installing Mezuzahs in your front entrance.

Welcome to South Florida: We don’t do California Car Chases (UPDATED VIDEO – 5 juveniles inside the vehicle)

Not enough that the idiots rolled over spectacularly, but the FHP cruiser gives them one final love tap just to remind them to behave. And then the “Get your sorry ass out of there and into the ground now” restraining and cuffing maneuver is just what it is done down here.

Do you think any of the LEOs would give two shits if the poor critters start complaining about not being able to breathe? Hell, they are capable of finding a meth hooker to give them mouth-to-mouth and call it first aid.


Update: Another video with more detail. 5 idiots arrested and they left a long trail of accidents and injured civilians.

And Colorado is now on its way to become New York/New Jersey

Colorado Senate Votes To Kill State’s Preemption Law – Bearing Arms

While in Florida we expanded protections to pre-emption, Colorado is rapidly becoming a full on Gun Control Blue State.

I just want to know where were the Chest Thumpers and Dudley Brown in all this?

Incrementalism works and the Democrats just demonstrated it.

Defensive use of a Gun in Washington State

Location is just north of Seattle.

The photo taken of the aggressor is interesting:

From what we all have seen in the last couple of years, this guy was fully dressed in Antifa-like uniform, and even wearing gloves.  He might be one of them, he might be a common criminal using the uniform or just a plain screwball also taking advantage of the alleged immunity being confused with Antifa gives.

But it seems such immunity only works in King County where Seattle is located and not in Snohomish County where he got 2 rounds or his idiotic behavior.

PS: This happened 6 days ago and only one local TV station has covered. Probably do not want the fact that there is a proven Antifa repellent out there.

What is it with the new wave of being impolite?

Today I went to the post office to do a couple of things and one of those was to cancel my PO Box rental.

For some reason, the fact that I did not want to leave a forwarding address set the postal employee on a sour streak. He admonished me that any mail coming to the box for me was going to be returned to sender. I bit my tongue to avoid snapping back about all the mail I was still getting from the previous user and I simply replied that it was fine with me. The dude actually huffed in disgust when I said that.

Is it now acceptable to be perpetually irritated and impolite at other folks? No reason?

I’ll will keep being polite. Not only is legally smart, but tends to raise their blood pressure when they can’t get a rise (sp?) out of you.

Enjoy your ulcer nd stroke.

Pressure washer saves my bacon

Still doing the cleaning and fixing to sell the house, so we invested in a pressure washer and trust me, it was the right thing to do.

We went with the Ryobi 2,000 PSI

You realize how much grime you accumulate in your walls and floors after 20+ years of urban/suburban living till you remove it. This little pressure washer did the trick  very good with only a few complains. I sued it day before yesterday to clean the lake side of the house and the inside of the porch roof and it almost went back to the original white. The cascade of dirty water was both impressive and disgusting.

Two thousand PSI is the minimum I saw recommended for somewhat heavy work. I am still stripping old paint from the deck and this thing (with the tight tip) is doing the heavy work.  The telescopic handle and the light weight makes it a dream to move around. The soap container threw me for a loop:  It will not dispense soap unless it has the right tip which probably means internally it has some sort of pressure regulated valve that opens the flow when low enough pressure is detected. Anything higher and it just shoots plain water.

That black bulbous thing at the end of the gun is what Ryobi calls the Turbo Nozzle and I believe it will remove all your sins if placed close enough to your soul. I forget how long the electrical cord is, but is long for your regular household plus has a its own ground fault circuit interrupter plug. The pistol part is comfortable and it takes a long time of use for your hand to be tired. Lots of bronze and steel bits in all the needed places and looks and feels well done and solidly built overall.

Now what I do not like: The tips other than the Turbo Nozzle suck. It comes only with a 15 degree tip and a soap tip, both all plastic construction and performance that did not convince me. I bought an inexpensive set from Amazon that has variety and do a better job for under $10.

The other thing I hate is the hose. It is stiff and hard to deal with because it will not lose its material memory and wants to keep coils. You could probably drive a tank over it and not damage it, but it is a royal pain in the ass.

Do yourself a favor and also buy the Electric Pressure Washers Surface Cleaner, specially if you have to clean any flat surface over 25 square feet. It has two revolving zero degree tips that will clean whatever dirt flooring you face, but be aware that zero degree means it is a very aggressive cleaning and that soft surfaces that you d not want damaged will be. It is also fun because it wants to play hovercraft so it slides easy in any direction.

And that’s it. Seriously, for the regular homeowner, this is a very handy power tool to have. It has other accesories including a foamer for car washing. You select what you need and play with it.

Here is the quick reference guide in case you want a bit more info.
