The futility of wishing for Gun Confiscation

There is no way in hell any administration can go ahead and try to confiscate weapons from Citizens. It does not mean they won’t try because the level of idiocy when it comes to DC or local state capitals is unending.

And it also confirms that Gun Owners are the most pacific bunch of people you’ll ever meet: That many guns in the hands of ornery and pissed off people? Your favorite Gun Hater would be somewhere in the streets of Paris tweeting about missing the kombucha from back home but knowing he would not make it through a visit without being used to zero a rifle.

Why play politics with your kids’ lives?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A federal judge in Memphis has dealt the first blow against Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s executive order that allows parents to opt their children out of school mask requirements designed to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19.

Late Friday, U.S. District Judge Sheryl H. Lipman issued a temporary restraining order that blocks Lee’s order in Shelby County, but it could set the stage for other legal challenges across Tennessee.

The order stems from a lawsuit filed on behalf of two Shelby County students who have medical conditions that make them more vulnerable to the coronavirus. Their attorneys argued that, because Lee’s order allows students to enter schools unmasked and potentially infect other children, the plaintiffs were denied their rights to a public education.

You need to explain something to me s I am not a parent: If your kid has a weakened immune condition or something that makes them sensitive to the Chinka Virus, why would you actually want them to be among other children that potentially could pass them not only Covid but a slew of other contagious infirmities? I would have guessed that a mother would rather keep the your sickling sapling at home well away from potential infections rather than risk him die because you want to be politically ornery.

And why the effing judge decided it was a good idea to risk the life of a minor in that manner if the kid was actually weakened in his/her health? Hell, just a few days ago in Chicago a judge revoked a mother’s custody because she was not vaccinated under medical orders and supposedly presented an alleged risk to her healthy son.

This country has gone mad.

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome and next time remember!

We went over the In-laws to do some shooting practice for permit class.  I thought I brought all we needed but actually I forgot one little thing: The effing targets.

So after searching the inside of the truck, I only found a roll of paper towels and an old paper bag. So I McGyvered it.

 

No, I actually targeted the ones in the right. Last shooting of the day out of a Remington R51
If it looks stupid but works, it ain’t stupid. Bounty held pretty good all things considered.

And I have to behave, the missus was grouping them holes about a dollar size.

PS: The In-laws’ land has a nice 100 yard “lane”  with a decent backstop. I am so gonna abuse the crap out of them. Buying a couple of gongs next week.

I legitimately don’t understand what the problem is here

New Yorkers should fall to their knees and thank God for power-washing the piss smell out of the subway system.

 

Why are people shocked by this? The scorpion always stings.

Why are they shocked?

Bradley Manning admitted he didn’t like the military when he enlisted.  He decided to stick it to the military from the inside because of personal greviences.  He was a bad and unpopular soldier that decided airing the Army’s dirty laundry and putting our troops in harms way was great revenge for making him feel like shit.

So why are people that helped him out shocked that he’s a backstabbing shit-weasel?

Don’t give the scorpion a lift if you don’t want to get stung.

And especially don’t give the scorpion $10,000.  That’s just fucking stupid.

This is how we f**k up something like Afghanistan so badly

This man is a former US Navy Intel Officer:

Consider the off-the-charys level of ignorance about Afghanistan and the level of hatred for Republicans you have to have to say something like this.

It would be one thing is this guy was just some ignorant rando.  But he’s a former member of the Intel Community and a writer for a majority media company.

This is what guides politics today.

Not knowledge but ignorance and bigotry.
