Stuff I learned from old school cartoon characters.

It is OK to lose your shit once in a while. And sometimes is the only way to get things done.

 

Drugs have been with us for a long time.

 

The French are indeed smelly.

Socialist Friends…you’l always have one.

 

Assholes are indeed conspiring against you.

 

Weird hairy guys get chicks too.

 

Dumb does not only come in blonde

 

The elderly and handicapped can be fun to watch in accidents.

 

Sometimes the answer is enough ammo going downrange.

 

And perhaps the best thing I learned from them Toons:

Perseverance and being ornery and screw you.

Why good scopes are so expensive?

After nine years, John was amazed when his friend Knut Øyjorda found his gun in the mountains: The wooden stock was bleached out and brittle, the muzzle was rusted and unusable. Only the scope was still like new. The coating withstood the weather, the cold and heat could not harm the optics. T

When I started to look for a rifle, I was told by several sources that I should not make the mistake of installing a cheap scope on a good rifle. And that I was expected to spend as much on the glass as I did on the gun and sometimes could be more.  I thought “Well crap, that is insane. Why would you do that?”

Well, one of the answer is pretty obvious now.

And no, I haven’t bought the rifle yet.

Tell me again why canning somebody’s ass is considered bad…

Greenpeaces Nazca

Greenpeace has apologised to the people of Peru after the government accused the environmentalists of damaging ancient earth markings in the country’s coastal desert by leaving footprints in the ground during a publicity stunt meant to send a message to the UN climate talks delegates in Lima.

And do not think for one second they are actually sorry for what they did. They are probably laughing at the fact they everybody is talking about their desecration and their message is being read.

Every Greenpeace vessel should become a static submarine as retribution for this terrorist attack…and that just for starters.

Fucking bunch of Talibans.

Repose

Not given to whining, but I am on my 5th Flu day & seems that I am not getting any better. My lungs sound like an accordion competition between Weird Al and Barry Manilow.

All the back up posts have been used, so I leave you with the latest Russian hand to hand combat technique: Tactical Paddy Cakes

Maybe I’ll see ya tomorrow.

Anything Gun Related in the new Spending Bill?

Because I am awesome and I can do CTRL F, I downloaded the whole darn thing and checked for stuff that might interest us on a Second Amendment manner.

  1. ATF is still funded. Damn it.
  2. Federal Firearm Disability (Recovering 2A rights after serving time) still remains unfunded.
  3. $3,000,000 is for competitive grants to distribute firearm safety materials and gun locks.
  4. Bye Bye Fast & Furious-type operations “unless law enforcement personnel of the United States continuously monitor or control the firearm at all times.”
  5. Defunding the denial of “permit to import United States origin ‘‘curios or relics’’ firearms, parts, or ammunition.”  So you have the money to approve but not deny…
  6. The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) shall include any activity to advocate or promote any proposed, pending or future Federal, State or local tax increase, or any proposed, pending, or future requirement or restriction on any legal consumer product, including its sale or marketing, iincluding but not limited to the advocacy or promotion of gun control.

This was a very quick look at the HUGE bill. There might be more stuff there.
