Shooting quiet sticks.
Had a good time this afternoon. There is something inherently fun about shooting rifles without the need for ear protection.
This one is a integrally suppressed Ruger 10-22, but I have no idea of the rest of the pedigree. Shoots like a dream.
And this one is a Savage A22 with a can by a company whose name escapes my mind right now.
Oleg and Carl are walking/talking encyclopedias or guns and gun related stuff plus excellent company. I do need a rifle class most expeditiously cause I sucked and ammo was wasted which is a sin in this day and age. Maybe Appleseed?
Stupid things I saw today
So…
I went to a pawn and gun store.
I was unimpressed with the store, prices were way too high. Especially on anything used that someone might sort of maybe think about considering having some collector’s value, was priced like it was starting at Rock Island Auction.
So I’m ready to leave when I hear the typical guttural, low IQ accent of the born-and-raised resident of York City.
That has become a common sound around here.
Then I hear what this guy is saying to the pawn people.
He is retired NYPD and has his “HR 218 Federal Gun Permit” and that means he can buy a gun. He doesn’t have his North Carolina handgun purchase permit but he sure has his “HR 218 Federal Gun Permit.”
He didn’t take kindly to being told no, retorting with “I was NYPD for 20 years.”
If I ran a gun shop and someone came in wanting to buy a pistol and told me they were NYPD for 20 years I’d straight up tell them no.
“I’m not selling you a gun because you have no idea how to use it and are more of a danger with it to innocent people than most criminals are. You numb-nuts, brain dead, Jackboot, morons had to be given 12 lbs trigger springs for your Glocks because your department couldn’t train the boomer Fudds who started when revolvers were your duty guns to keep their fucking fingers off the triggers and you kept accidentally discharging your weapons into bystanders.”
Also the fact that this guy thought that North Carolina state law didn’t apply to him because he has a “HR 218 Federal Gun Permit” and “was NYPD for 20 years,” was just everything that sucks about New York City moving south.
Leftist Democrats are human garbage with no morals
Within a week of an abortion ban in Texas going into effect, Gov. Abbott is killing John Ramirez on death row tonight.
The last request of John? For his pastor to hold him as he dies. That request was denied.
None of this makes sense.

What did Ramirez do?
John Ramirez stabbed Pablo Castro 29 times in 2004
Ramirez was with two other women when they confronted Castro outside a Times Market on July 19, 2004. They were looking for money for drugs, according to previous Caller-Times reporting.
According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Ramirez beat and kicked Castro and stabbed him 29 times with a 6-inch serrated knife. The group left the scene with $1.25.
The state executing a man who was duly convinced in a court of law after confessing his guilt to a judge for stabbing a store clerk 29 times to steal a buck twenty five is just like aborting an unborn child for convenience.
Fucking human colostomy bags full of shit morals.
And this is why I have no personal social media
NEW: LAPD has instructed officers to collect social media information from every civilian they interview or stop, including individuals who are not arrested or accused of a crime.

I had a thought on this. A few years ago Kimmel did a bit on the birth of his son and his son needing heart surgery for a birth defect.
Someone should ask him if his feelings apply to an unvaccinated 12-year-old needing oprn heart surgery.

Black Lives Matter, LGBT Pride, COVID paranoia, anti-American hatred, racism, destruction and chaos in the name of social justice, it’s honestly a fitting monument to the stupid ages we are living in.
If you wanted to pick items that explain the endarkenment and collapse of society, would you pick anything different?
It hasn’t been announced what will happen to the contents of the old time capsule, so the answer is clear that it will be thrown away as relics of a racist age and not worthy of study.
Again, befitting our current stupid age.
