Gun Free Zone

Since we have Amazon, the missus and I are doing Bosch all over again and if you haven’t watched it, give it a try.

But, if you are into the SciFi stuff (and even if you are not, like me) give The Expanse a try now that Amazon took over and all the seasons are there.

And we have this movie on cue:

Some people are “cutting the cord”. We slashed movie theaters well over a decade ago.

Back is acting up big time and I am behind on some stuff that needs to be taken care of. But I leave you with a message: Don’t be cruel to animals.

As usual, if anything important pops, I’ll drop by.

According to his own website, Steven William Thrasher is “a Contributing Editor at BuzzFeed, ,  [sic] is the 2012 National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association’s Journalist of the Year. ”

He also recently completed a Ph.D. in some sort of progressive horseshit at NYU.

This was part of his speech:

This is clearly a person who has never been challenged to think critically on a single idea that he has or position that he holds.

In just over a minute and a half, he says that he is for “radical love” and fighting, among other things, antisemitism, while at the same time calling Israel an apartheid state and praising BDS and the Students for Justice in Palestine, which traffic in the most intense conspiratorial Jew-hatred.

There are so many contradictory ideas in his head, all based on Progressive platitudes.  It is evident he has never been forced to reconcile any of them.

That is the legacy of NYU.  Filling students heads with nonsensical garbage and never demanding that they think through anything logically.

At least this asshole did one good thing, prove to the world that an NYU degree is bullshit.  Another once great university down the shitter, done in by progressives.

This is why Bernie and his ilk want free universal college for all.  So they can turn every person in America into a jabbering idiot without a single congruous thought.

Whomever came up with this recipe is one.  And the meal gets it too.

I read Miguel’s post Dimmer v. Switch.

I then read the Monster Hunter Nation post THE 2ND AMENDMENT IS OBSOLETE, SAYS CONGRESSMAN WHO WANTS TO NUKE OMAHA.

In it, there is this meme:

Larry sort of touched on this.

I’m not going to go into a long thing about how irregular forced, especially those familiar with the local terrain have bested, or at least caused significant casualties to, the best trained foreign invading militaries.

The incomplete list of that is the British in Afghanistan, the Soviets in Afghanistan, the US in Afghanistan, the French in Indochina, the US in Vietnam, etc.

Other authors have done marvelous jobs explaining how civilians with AR-15’s can stand a chance against an M1 Abrams or AH-64 Apache.

That is totally irrelevant, and the fact is the above meme is horseshit.

If Civil War 2.0 ever gets kicked off, I can all but guarantee that the US government isn’t going to have working tanks and helicopter gunships, or combat aircraft or drones or anything else like that.  Not in any significant quantities at least.

I work with a lot of veterans.

We have discussed memes like that before.

Here is the inside scoop that the Left does not understand at all.

At.  Fucking.  All.

The people I know who enlisted did so because they are patriots.

The idea of being ordered to attack American civilians to confiscate their guns is abhorrent to them.

Simply put, good luck getting these guys to follow the order from any petulant shit-ass President to march down Main Street of their home town to get them to detain their civilian friends and neighbors.

So what about the tanks and helicopters.

A buddy of mine is a former military helicopter maintenance tech.  He made it clear that if the US military were to use helicopter gunships on American civilians, he personally, and he knows many others like him who, would “sabotage the fuck out of” those aircraft.

Extrapolate that to every weapons system in our arsenal.

The think about every military armory.

Think about how much ammo, how many guns and grenades, mortars, and man-portable ordnance, would be carried out of every armory and magazine by US troops defecting because they are not going to shoot other Americans over some gun ban, or socialist wealth redistribution, or they didn’t give up their big block V8 after the passage of the Green Leap Forward.

The ranks of the US military will be depleted, and everything that isn’t stolen will be scuttled by them on the way out.

The reality is much more likely that American civilians will be patrolling the streets with AT4’s and M-249 SAWs taken from a Guard Armory l with the doors deliberately left open, than 1st Armored will be rolling through downtown Texas in tanks.

This is what Leftist statists do no understand about America.

They see China, Russia and the Soviet Union before that, Venezuela, and other tyrannical countries where the military is loyal to Dear Leader and has no problems oppressing the civilian population, and they assume the US military is just the same.

Except it’s not.

Our military swears “defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same” and following the President’s orders comes along somewhere after that.

You go right ahead and tell a bunch of enlisted men from Iowa or Alabama or Texas that they have to force civilians in Middle America to give up their civil liberties.  See how far that goes.

What I worry about is Leftists in America employing the same tactics as Leftists in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Venezuela.  That is, enlisting Leftist thugs who are loyal to Dear Leader instead of the Constitution.

Essentially, putting Antifa in uniform.

But the idea of a helicopter gunship being used against Freedom Eagle Dot Facebook is laughable at this moment because one of Freedom Eagle Dot Facebook’s buddies is the Rotary Wing Aircraft Maintenance Specialist and he just tossed a grenade into the cockpit of said gunship when he found out that a sortie was going to be flown against a Middle American suburb.

Our buddy Kevin Creighton recently took a job blogging for AmmoMan.com (Apparently you can actually make money blogging) and he has already done more for gun rights with one post that certain state group has done for the past two years: A list of State Gun Right Organizations. 

Unfortunately, the Geocities-looking websites of Florida’s Gun Right groups are listed to the embarrassment of Florida Gun Owners.

Maybe less Tactical OC fishing and more coding would be the sensible thing?

I don’t think I have overly complicated rules, do i?

Now, if you come here with the sole purpose of showing how much smarter/prettier you are to buttress your ego, you will get removed.
Before, I just used to delete the post and give the offender the chance to not fuck up again. If that did not catch his/her, I’d move to full site ban.
But with age comes lack of patience. Starting today, you are a dick in the comments, you get tagged as spammer.  That means you will get not only screwed in this blog, but in whatever other blogs use spam filters.

Some of my readers know the joy as I have had to rescue their comments from the spam filter. I am nice enough to remove the Spammer tag so their comments may appear. Other blogs are not as generous.

So: Don’t be a dick.
