Weeping & Wailing

As the various reptiles on the Left start facing the consequences of their actions, we get plaintive wails like this one:

…and the perfect response:

The old expression comes to mind, something about sowing winds and reaping whirlwinds.

And it’s only just started.  We are not done with these people.

Ahhhh the good old days… but wait!

Always A Simple Answer

Last Friday I stumbled across this little gem:

So in essence, what you’re saying is that if anyone wants to avoid death by assassination (in this case), they have to be careful of what they say?

There’s a simple word to describe this attitude:  terrorism.

And fuck you.

Old Eyes, New Optics

As I told y’all last week, I fitted one of these newfangled red-dot thingies to my favorite Browning Buckmark .22 pistol:

..and off I went to my neighborhood range, bearing a couple of boxes of my trusty go-to .22 test ammo (CCI Min-Mag 40gr solids).  And because this was a sighting-in exercise, I shot off a sandbag rest.

This first target was just to get the sight thingy “on paper” (with a quarter to give some perspective):

Some words of explanation are necessary.  The Tru-Glo’s adjusting turrets don’t “click” — you need to turn the screw by guesswork — thus, I was going by “feel”, so to speak.  Anyway, the first five-shot string (unadjusted) shot low and a little left.  Up we go, to String #2.  Not bad.
Then the fun began.  Adjusting the left-right screw, I realized mid-adjustment that I was moving the dot  right instead of left — because I’m an idiot — so back left I went, trying to remember how far I’d just turned the thing.
String #3 showed me that I’d cocked the thing up completely and over-compensated (yeah, like none of you have ever done something like that before).  Back I went, guessing again, and mirabile dictu, I got it right first time.  String #4 looked pretty good.

But we all know that sighting accuracy may change at greater ranges, so I sent the target paper back out to 30ft (my normal shooting distance with handguns, whatever I’m shooting).  Would it change?  Indeedy, yes it did:

The 10-shot string was done with a center-dot hold, but after I’d adjusted the sight, the 5-shot string was made with a halfway hold (halfway between the bottom of the target and the center dot).
Not bad;  I thought I’d got the thing just right.
So off I went and shot the rest of that box at lots of different targets on the paper, omitted for the sake of brevity — okay, here are a couple, just for the hell of it:


(halfway-down hold)


(center hold)

Finally, I was getting close to the end of my allotted range time, so I packed up the gear to give the barrel a few minutes to cool down a bit, and then got serious, taking lots of time between shots instead of getting all impatient to get done with it (as I usually do):

That was fun.  Now to try some different ammo brands and boolet weights to see the differences…

Musical Interlude

Via Indefatigable Reader Mike L. (thankee), this little paean of praise for ICE.

The video is worth the price of listening to the foul music.

And then there’s this recent activity:

Federal immigration authorities arrested 822 criminal aliens and immigration violators in a sweeping weeklong operation across Southeast Texas. The operation targeted violent offenders to restore public safety to communities long plagued by cartel-linked crime and illegal reentry.
