Gun Free Zone

The moral of the story here is that when you’re packing large-bore artillery on the front of your warship you should probably practice social distancing and use the big guns first, before you decide to ram a fucking ship that has two bars and a jacuzzi on board.

Badass of the Week – The RCGS Resolute

Great description of the events and you get a good chuckle from it too.

The Missus went shopping and snapped this photo. Social distancing is being observed with a lot of people doing the glove & mask thing.  I guess they are doing controlled entrance.

And once again, politeness is the norm all throughout the land .

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Customers have filed thousands of complaints about price gouging in Texas since the start of the pandemic.

But a North Texas company has angered customers both locally and nationally.

Dozens of customers have filed complaints about Cheaper Than Dirt, an online firearm and ammunition seller based in Fort Worth.

“I was looking at getting about a thousand rounds of their .223 ammo, which is normally around $300, but their price was $1,000,” said Kyle Wiggs, who filed a price gouging complaint.

North Texas Gun, Ammo Seller Hit With Dozens Of Price Gouging Complaints From Customers

The problem we have in the Gun Community is that we do no communicate well. Every time that we have a panic spree, CTD goes into Robber Baron mode and people bitch but still buy and then keep rewarding the bad behavior when the panic is over by continuing to buy from them.

On its Facebook page, the store issued a statement that partially read, “Those who did not plan….will run into limited supplies, higher prices, and stress.”

One thing I have never seen CTD (maybe I missed it) is complaining that ammunition manufacturers double or tripled the price so they cannot sell them at the same old prices. Probably they can’t say it because other ammo sellers are not tagging their merchandise that high, but I am just speculating here.

Simply stop buying from the assholes or take up reloading.

Reader Scrappycrow sent me this one:

When Amol Jethwani interviewed for a job on Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign in December, the benefits were unlike anything he had heard of for political campaign field workers.

“They offered an incredible benefits package, which is unheard of for field staff, offering $8,000 a month for a regional role in addition to health care, technology, laptops, cellphones,” said Jethwani.

Bloomberg also offered something else: a job through the general election, even if he was not the Democratic Party’s nominee. Jethwani signed on as a regional organizing director. As part of his job, he interviewed potential field staffers, giving them the same assurances. “That employment is guaranteed through November, location is not,” Jethwani said.

‘Mike Borrowed My Credibility And Abused It’: Fired Bloomberg Campaign Workers Speak

” employment is guaranteed through November” .. OK yes but, was there a contract signed? No? What the hell were you expecting from a know corrupt asshole like Mini Mike? But that is the way his organizations work. Some of you may remember three years ago when complains came out of Moms Demand because Shannon thought she was going to be anointed a Representative, she started to treat her staff like shit and pretty much abandoning Moms Demand as she was being groomed to climb the political ladders. People in the organization left because they were pissed they were used and they took a hit. Unfortunately for Shannon, the seat in Colorado went to a long time Democrat and the she was ignored. My feeling is, she got traded by a newer model called AOC. Don’t quote me on this one.

And we are still waiting for the horror stories that will surely will come about Bernie Bros selling mom’s jewelry or not making mortgage payments so they could donate (unknowingly) to Bernie’s future Miami condo.

Who says they are non-essential?

What else are you going to do during three weeks of lockdown?

It’s times like this that I’m glad I’m a prepper… never mind.

I was watching the news and Virginia shut down until sometime in June.

I watched another TV pundit say we may have to shut down for the rest of the year.  That going back to work when the line levels off will only cause a second spike.

They can’t be serious.

Then I had this thought.

Is this a Leftist/Socialist/Communist conspiracy?

Yes, the virus is real.  I’m not debating that.  Or that we need social distancing, that’s true too.

Just the idea that we must be under lockdown for the foreseeable future.

You can’t put people out of work for six or nine months.  It will destroy them.

Could it be that the Socialist Left wants to do this so that when it’s all over they can say to enraged and destitute people:

“If we had Socialism, you could have been out of work for 9 month and it would not have hurt you.  It’s capitalism’s fault that a pandemic destroyed your life and are up your life savings.  Look at how China came back and we didn’t, their system is better.  We need to embrace socialism not capitalism to protect ourselves against the next pandemic.ç

Maybe my tinfoil had is too tight but I cannot for the life of me understand why some talking head would advocate for shutting us down until Christmas.
