Missed A Couple

The bad 170, according to Fatboi Pritzker’s Illannoy.

This is just going to drive up the prices of Garands, M1 Carbines, ordinary SKS rifle, and so on.

That said:  it’s not gonna stop there.

The list of about 170 different semi-automatic guns now banned in Illinois could change with state police granted the authority to update the list “as needed.”

Possession of guns legally purchased before Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the measure Tuesday are grandfathered in, but owners must eventually register each weapon’s serial number. Illinois State Police are to develop the registry with gun owners required to comply by Jan. 1, 2024. Violations could be a Class 2 felony.

Bastards.

Random Gripe

Why oh why do these women keep doing this to me?

And it’s all very well to say, “Oh, if it bothers you that much, don’t open the links” — like that’s an option.

And FYI:  the pics contain links to the offending articles.  Welcome to MY world.

Gratuitous Gun Pic: J. Rigby Matched Pair (12ga)

I don’t know why I do this to myself.  Every damn week I go over to Steve Barnett’s website, look at the new listings and am constantly reminded why I hate being poor.

Take the latest such horror, this Rigby Rising Bite pair (right-click to embiggen):

 

I know, the sticker shock ($29 grand or so) is severe — as it always is with Rigby’s guns — but have mercy that’s a lovely pair.

In fact, I want that pair more than Paige Spirinac‘s… and I don’t even shoot 12ga.

...simple mistake being that he visited Australia in the first place.


...welcome to our world, geek assholes. “Don’t be evil” was a lie from the very beginning.

From the Dept. Of Priapism:


...wait, 57 and still raping?  I’m thinking “over-achiever”, unless there’s a megaton of Viagra involved.


...wait:  you got into a limo with a violent guy who made his living by beating other violent men half to death, and now you want to score 5 mill as a reward for your stupidity, three decades later?

And speaking of ancient history:


...lemme guess:  you had absolutely no idea there would be lots of sex at Hef’s place.  And you were also forced into the limo that took you there, thirty years ago.

Now, from our Nostradamus Dept. (no links, because):

  …and...the latter being more likely to be accurate.

And INSIGNIFICA:

Finally, from our Sports Desk (via longtime contributor Sean F.):

Mikayla Demaiter, who used to play in the Professional Women’s Hockey League as a goaltender, has had a successful career transition, and she was forced into it.  Demaiter had to give up the game of hockey in 2019 after she suffered a knee injury that ended her career.

Hockey’s loss is our gain, methinks:

Cold shower, then off to work.
