The Hypocrisy of Bloomberg

If you have a Billion dollars and an armed security detail 24/7, you have the luxury of spending millions to disarm everyone else.

Here is why he will fail:



--Simple, concise and important.

NOIR: Episode 9

I still really like his show. Big fun!



--I wish I had a place like that to shoot!!

Threads

I was wondering the other day if the suppressor I purchased for my .308 Remington 700 would work with me 300 Blackout.

It will fit. It's going to rock!

I even took the Flash Hider off the 300 Blackout and tried the thread protector ring from the .308 and it was a prefect fit.

--This will be fun.

Never Forget...

Stream of Consciousness

I didn't have a queued up for today so I am just going to wing this one!

I saw this piece of art on This Isn't Happiness. It has several things that are my favorites: Killer Robots, Guns and Peeing Outside!

I was just reading that a town in Colorado just pasted a law requiring that every head of household own a gun and ammo. I don't like any law that requires me to buy anything. Not guns or healthcare.

I just saw on the TV news that some soccer mom fired a warning shot to stop six parents from beating a soccer coach that would not put their kids in the game. No arrests so far.

I need to research something. Does a .308 suppressor work with a 300 Blackout?

--Off to work for me. Happy Hump Day!

Todays NRA

I read a great article called "Why the “New NRA” Terrifies the Political Left" that addresses the invalid stereotype of members of the NRA. It talks about the NRA staff as well.

Among the NRA commentators are:

• a gay multi-racial ex-Google employee (Chris Cheng)
• a Venezuelan Olympian immigrant (Gabby Franco)
• a white female (Natalie Foster)
• a bespectacled hipster (Billy Johnson)
• an  African-American lawyer (Colion Noir)
• a former navy SEAL (Dom Raso)
• a former beauty queen turned tactical training company CEO (Nikki Turpeaux)

They come from all walks of life, and different parts of the world, but their common, unifying trait  is what they are not: the “uneducated fat old white guys” that is the stereotype of gun owners perpetuated by the media.

--The Left will keep whining and stamping their feet like small children while the grownups talk.

Archangel 700 Precision Stock Remington 700 Short Action

I forgot to mention the Archangel upgrade stock I installed on my Remington 700:

Here is how it looked installed:

This also shows the integral bipod deployed.

Another great thing about this stock is that it uses M14 detachable mags. It comes with a single 10 round mag and I have ordered a couple 20 round mags.

--It will still be months before the ATF finishes my paperwork. They cashed the check though.

Gone Camping

I'm going camping this weekend with a couple friends.

I always take guns when I go camping even if we are not going to be shooting.

I will be taking my suppressed Glock 21 and my AR-15 SBR. But no redheads, dammit!

--I added the bayonet for JayG!

NY SAFE Act Investigation

Read this article regarding a raid at a gun shop.

Albion Gun Shop Records Taken, Gun Owner Arrested, as SAFE Act Enforcement Barrels Down

"The NY SAFE Act makes detachable magazines on a semiautomatic rifle illegal for purchase after the SAFE Act passed, as well as required for registration as of April 2014 if purchased before the SAFE Act passed."

The report sounds really pissed about the Safe Act. That's good. He wants the arrest to go to trial so the jury will hang or acquit.

--Stupid law passed by weak men in a panic.

Freedom Rifle

I saw this drifting around Facebook and it amused me.

-- I love Discreet Freedom.

SWATting

I was reading about the increased occurrence of a thing called Swatting.

It was on the national news when a kid swatted an opponent while playing online games with on camera. They thought it would be funny to watch the SWAT raid live via webcam.

This is so dangerous. These asshats will call 911 and say that they have shot their mother and siblings and are about to start shooting other people. Or another equally violent story. SWAT shows up and breaks the door down with guns drawn and safeties off.

There are so many things wrong with this. Callers, even kids, are spoofing the caller ID to cause these raids. Cops are too militarized. The whole concept of No-Knock raids with battering rams. Dogs being shot. Wrong addresses raided.

Sorry. I was piling on there.

--We need more Adam 12 and less SWAT.

Teaching New Shooters

One of the things I enjoy doing is taking new shooters to the range.

It's a thing that was common when I was a kid. Everyone had guns, everyone taught their kids. My Elementary school even had an indoor rifle range and every 6th grader was taught safety and target shooting.

If you want to give shooting a try I will be happy to take you for the first time. Memorize these before we go:

The Four Rules

1) Treat all guns as if they are always loaded
2) Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy
3) Keep your finger OFF the trigger until your sights are on the target
4) Be sure of your target and what’s beyond it

The Two Disciplines

1) Muzzle Discipline:  Watch where you are pointing that damn thing!
2) Trigger Discipline: Keep your booger hook off

--Let's go shooting!

Guns of Christmas

My wife loves me.

Every year she puts up nine Christmas trees in the house. This year I think she will be sneaking in a tenth!

Every year she buys me a new Christmas ornament that relates to shooting!  This year she found these three early!

One day I might even rate and entire gun related Christmas tree!!

--Maybe I will get a Red Rider BB Gun this year!!
