Erf Day Idiocy

Eco-Crap, Freaks & Loonies, Hippie Filth

You know, if the filthy hippies had stuck to their communes

…or else just given us cool-looking fashions

…then we’d have been fine.  Instead of which, they gave us the pretentiously-named Earth Day, wherein we have to save Mother Gaia RIGHT NOW or else WE’RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!

Of course, as this article suggests, it’s all bullshit.  Every single one of their doom-laden prophecies has failed to occur, none are ever likely to occur, and as with all this crap (see:  Climate Change OMG), it’s basically cover to end Western civilization and the capitalist system.

Feel free to ignore anything that has “Earth Day” in its title (hence my naming this post “ERF Day”), and you will be the happier for it.

About That Europellet Stuff

Disaster, The Gun Thing

Seems like we may have an Obama-era situation here:

A cursory look at a couple of websites showed no problems with stock, e.g. CheaperThanDirt and LuckyGunner.  (A little pricier than normal, to be sure, but at least they have it handy — at time of writing, that is.)  However, MidwayUSA and Graf & Son show complete OOS on all 9mm except the premium loads.

Compare and contrast the .45 ACP situation:  CTD (sweet deal, by the way for quality range ammo) and LuckyGunner.

A little worm crawled into my ear, though, triggered by a deal I saw on the little Makarov 9x18mm pistol.  Stocks of the 9mm Mak ammo seem to be quite substantial (e.g. CTD’s Sellier & Bellot) and cheap, to boot.

Just as I suggested yesterday that it might be prudent to have a rifle chambered in a not-so-popular chambering (the PSL in 7.62x54mmR), maybe one could extend that thought to pistols.  I love the Makarov (also the CZ-82 version):  it’s rugged and easy to shoot, and the 9x18mm round is a little fireball.

Food for thought, n’est-ce pas?  And for you Crufflers out there, it’s a C&R transaction.

News Roundup

Bad News

News commentary, as written by Hemingway.  Links in the pics.

From Britishland:


…yeah, welcome to OUR Deep State world, Bubba.


…as all Amazon and Wal-Mart customers know, Chinese quality control is legendary.  And speaking of which:


…ordinarily I’d be worried, except that none of them will work.  Also, we need things to shoot at while we’re cooped up in our houses.  (Pro tip: 00 buckshot)


…(unspoken:) Give Us More Money.  However, if you look at the map, the famine would likely have struck even without the Chinkvirus.  In other words:  carry on, nothing to see here.


…they’re all gonna die.  When Gummint is optimistic, it’s time to head for the bunkers.


…52-year-old single mother of four (all by different fathers) needs sex.  Quite a prospect.


…all well and good, except it’s almost impossible to monitor abusive behavior during a lockdown.  But hey, let’s throw money at it:  that always works.  Stupid Seffrican tart.


…looks like I may have to be cooped up for a while yet.  Shit.

And finally:


…I report, you decide:

Of Course

Gummint, The Gun Thing

Which can be encapsulated by the standard liberal response:

…even though this whole episode seems to have been triggered by Lockdown Blues.

Just coincidentally, this little advert arrived in my Inbox a couple days back:

Now, leaving aside the wisdom or lack thereof in buying a gun from Century Arms at that price, this merchant of death has a lot to recommend it, i.e.:

  • regardless of ammo shortages in other calibers (e.g. 5.56mm, 7.62mm Nato), none of the online suppliers ever seems to run out of 7.62x54mmR
  • the PSL (Dragunov clone) has a great deal to recommend it:  excellent AK-type reliability and, once you’ve done the necessary trigger work, decent accuracy out to about 500 yards

So let’s ignore CanuckiPM Pantywaist (as always), and consider the merits of the PSL, in Comments.
