Cops raid some bad guys’ place, find this:
Of course, this will have to be banned because of all those drive-by chainsaw massacres.
I can’t help thinking that this beast is mainly for intimidation purposes — not to mention that the carrier needs to be fairly muscular just to carry it around.
That said, in the hands of law enforcement, I can’t help but think that it would be a decent riot repellent — although a simple bayonet would have pretty much the same effect.
“The Democrats’ hateful, moronic comments are beyond the pale, and the Democrats know it, but they don’t care because they have nothing to offer the public debate but rage, resentment and quackery. Until other Democrats stand up against this hysteria, they’re admitting to the country their party has no claim to national leadership.” — Republican Tom DeLay (TX), January 2001
Or, as the late and much-missed Acidman put it:
“I could tolerate leftists if they had any coherent ideas for a better way to do things. But they don’t. They cling stubbornly to failed brain-fart dreams that have been attempted over and over again with disastrous results, but they never learn. When better ideas come along, they simply screech and holler at them, then fling feces like the monkeys they are.”
I mean there’s only so much a man can take, when faced with this situation:
[Britain’s] international Trade Secretary welcomed an announcement by US trade representative Robert Lighthizer that Washington would not go ahead with a threatened extension of the tariff regime that would have affected gin and blended whisky.
And in a ‘modest’ easing of the tariffs, Mr Lighthizer said products such as shortbread would now be exempted as the two sides continue to seek a resolution to a dispute centred on planemaker Airbus.
But duties on top-quality single malt whiskies – which are made from a single batch of malted barley – remain in place at 25 per cent.
Shortbread? Shortbread? Who gives a shit about shortbread (a.k.a. compressed sugary sawdust) when Glenmorangie is being taxed to the skies? Twenty fucking five percent?
And let me warn our esteemed President and “trade representatives”: raising taxes on Sipsmiths and J&B would make you no different from the high-tax-loving Democratic Socialists.
HANDS OFF MY BOOZE!
*Just kidding.
Had occasion to go over to my local Merchant O’ Death yesterday, just to browse a little and to tickle my fancy by looking at a couple of guns I’ve been eyeing out lately. Well…
The handgun counter is usually crammed with guns — well over a hundred, as I recall — and the few guns you see under the glass are either the very expensive (Nighthawk, etc.) or else .22 pistols and single-action revolvers.
Ditto the rifle racks: the nearly-empty one on the left is usually packed with AR-15s and AKs… not anymore. The rack on the right has sporting shotguns, mostly, and even those have been moving out — bought by people who, when they find all their first- and second choices out of stock, are buying double-barreled shotguns just to have something on hand.
The guys tell me that they have over six hundred guns on order, but the distributors are looking after the bigger dealers first, so little establishments like this one are in a desert. Even then: “Have you been to Cabela’s or Bass Pro recently? They’re almost as bad as we are.”
When I think of all the work I’ve done over the years to try and make America a Nation of Riflemen again… and all it took was a few riots in Minneapolis and Seattle to do just that.
As we have only a couple months before we give Trump another four years in office, I think it behooves us to to examine exactly what the Democratic Socialists stand for (quit that laughing, I’m trying to be serious for a change). And as people seem to be more swayed by pictures these days, I’ll forego the boring essay I’d planned to write and rather, try to encapsulate the Evil Party’s platform more succinctly. Here’s what we face:
Your future President:
…and Vice-President / President (because if you think Biden would stay in office for longer than the car trip back from the Capitol steps to the White House, you’re delusional):
Immigration:
Gun laws:
Gun confiscation:
Gun usage:
Ammo purchasing:
And in short:
The Democratic Socialist government’s attitude towards the Armed Forces:
Law and Order:
Foreign Policy:
Only with blowjobs for China, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and the United Nations — just like Obama.
As I wrote a long, long time ago (updated for the current set of assholes), here’s the Democratic Socialist party’s plan for us:
Oh hell, I don’t know why I bother. Just think of California on a national scale — i.e. with nowhere for us to go except to a foreign country — with the Golden Shower State’s regulations, pro-illegal immigration, anti-gun policies, etc.
I can’t wait to get to the polls in November.
…or, to be more precise, when you get the mild-mannered and polite Professor Glenn Reynolds to launch into a wonderful rant:
And all the “public health” people complaining about this can go fuck yourselves. You squandered all your moral authority rushing to line up in favor of the Black Lives Matter protests because you valued politics more than health. Now nobody will listen to you, because you’re a joke. If people die because you squandered your credibility, that’s your fault. You’re not disgraces to your profession, you’ve made your profession a disgrace.
Couldn’t have put it better myself. Our public health officials are either a bunch of timorous nannies, or else a bunch of ferocious control freaks. (And yes, I could have embraced the healing power of “and”, to use another Insty-phrase.)
