The War on Drugs failed long ago and we as a society decided it was cheaper to surrender. It is a de-facto legalization which contrary to the promises we were given is also a rotund failure.
The video above is what surrender looks like.
That is no longer the exception but a commonplace occurrence. We have seen videos the streets of Portland, Philly, L.A and other cities where they not only condone but actually embrace the culture under the guise of pity and understanding.
I have no answer and I fear there is none short of collecting all involved (dealers and users) and locate them in an designated drug-friendly area where they can do as they wish till the inevitable happens.
And not one penny of taxpayers’ money goes in there to “help the poor souls” other than daily collection of the bodies and bury them in a mass grave.
…and fall to the ground in a quivering mass of terror.
Some fun new competitions open to the general public include the “Mom Calling Contest” and the “Husband Calling Contest” to take place on August 19.
The “Mom Calling Contest” is open to fair-goers between the ages of five and nine. Anyone wishing to enter must register in advance at wilsoncountytnstatefair.com. All entrants will have one minute to call their mom. It will take place at 1:00 p.m.
Husband callers will take the Opry Stage at 3:00 p.m. Contestants are invited to wear their best husband calling outfit, and they have one minute to get his attention. No profanity will be allowed.
When you make a mistake, own up, do the right thing.
I didn’t do the right thing. The right thing was to pull all the bullets for the hot loads I made. I didn’t want to because it is a bit of work, and I’m lazy. It should be safe to unload them through the R92.
Lazy, safe, reloading do not work. You have to be careful, you have to do the right thing, every time.
I have two or three powder throws. I do not use them. The consistency I was getting with them wasn’t good enough.
The two presses I have are both Lee presses. One is an OLD single stage. I like it. I don’t use it. At this point, my main complaint, using it to deprime, is no longer an issue as I use a different method. The press I do use is a Lee Turret press.
When I started using it, I used it as a turret press. Everything was all setup and I could crank out the rounds quickly and easily. First I would deprime, then clean the cases in a wet tumbler. From there, it was time to run it through the turret press.
Put the case in shell holder. Handle down to resize the case. While the handle is down, place primer in the primer cup. Handle up to insert the primer and rotate the plate to the next station. Handle down to flare the mouth, throw the powder charge. The Lee charger is semi-automatic. As the case presses into the die, it causes the charger to throw one charge. Handle up, place bullet in the case. Handle down to seat the bullet. Handle up to move to the next station. Handle down to crimp the case. Remove the cartridge, put the case in the shell holder, repeat.
Today, I use the turret press as a quick change plate. There is a universal depriming die, sizing die, mouth flare, bullet seating+crimping die. I rotate the plate to the die I want, then use it like a single stage press.
Which brings us to how I do it now. I have an automatic powder measure. You input the weight you want, press the “drop” button. The machine twists a trickle tube until the scale reads exactly the weight you wanted.
It takes just a few moments to throw the charge accurately. I have a standalone powder charger stand. I have just the base in it. This gives me a big enough target that I don’t need a funnel. I hold the case mouth against the bottom surface, pour the pan into the top and the case is charged.
The pan gets placed back on the scale for the auto-throw. Once it stabilizes, it will start throwing the next charge. While that charge is being thrown, I’m putting the case in the press, putting a bullet on and seating it along with the crimp.
Not as fast as a progressive, by far. Not as fast as just using the turret press. But it is the way I do it today.
So back to pulling bullets. I have a collet puller which hasn’t worked for me. Instead, I use an inertia puller. Put a round in the puller. Hit it on a hard surface a few times, the bullet pops out. It works, it just takes more of an effort than I like, as a lazy person.
Now that all the bullets are pulled, I can reuse the bullets and put the correct charge in place.
Thank you to everybody who told me I was being a dumb ass. I was. Your gently chiding was enough to make it clear I needed to do the right thing.
This is what I was thinking of:
Since the video, they did discover that the SLAP rounds that he was firing were not military surplus. That they were way too hot and the cause of the exploding 50 BMG rifle.
All traditional Media is pushing hard even when they have to know (and probably choose to ignore) that Tennesseans are not in favor of any Gun Control.
I have no background on the governor, but all the vibes I get from him makes me believe he is a RINO who got elected for some reason. Why does he keep pushing for Red Flag laws? No effing idea and he has not even taken the time to share what his proposal would be. Why would he be afraid to show what he thinks? Hey, maybe there is a good idea or two in there.
Or maybe he is afraid to piss off anybody and risk they don’t like him anymore?
The missus and I are fans of several Youtube channels that show police activity via body worn cameras, dash cams or witnesses’ videos. Many a case, you see LEOs from many jurisdictions take unholy time trying to warn a subject to lay down whatever weapon or doing a tussle trying to arrest them.
But this is South Florida: Too hot, too humid to be wasting time with more than a couple of warnings. And they don’t care about your gender either: You will get it.
Witness states that woman in South Beach stole a sandwich and grabbed a screwdriver and started chasing people with it. Police then arrived and tased her due to resisting, she was arrested | #ONLYinDADEpic.twitter.com/GFUh0BqDr6
Then again the great advantage that the forces in Florida, mostly south of Orlando have is that they are impervious to accusations of White Supremacy and racism. Kinda hard to pull the race card when some departments have over 60% minorities, from rank and file to top cops.
