Not Doing It

Bad News

Sorry, folks, but I’m just not up to blogging for a while.  I’ve been hit with a whole bunch of personal issues — family stuff, of no interest to anyone else so I’m not going to share.  It’s not financial.

So no postings today, the next chapter of Busking memoirs (which I’d already written and set up) will appear tomorrow, the Classic Beauty (ditto) on Sunday and Monday Funnies (ditto) for Monday.  Beyond that, I don’t know.

Let’s just call it a brief sabbatical.

Weapons-Grade Stupidity

Anti-Gun Nannies

…and no, this isn’t a dig against the .dotmil.  But you have to admit that this kind of stupidity is kinda different — an upgrade, if you will — from just the usual Congressional idiocy:

Pennsylvania state Rep. and former Democratic Party Vice-Chair Malcolm Kenyatta pushed a ban on “military-grade weapons” after the handgun/shotgun attack that occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD).

Yeah, by all means let’s ban include pump-action shotguns and handguns in the category of “military-grade weapons” (whatever that means) — because after all, the military does use them, right?

Sheesh, when clowns like this can be elevated to the position of Democrat Party Vice-Chair, what does that say for the people who couldn’t make the grade?  And to use a sporting term, how deep is their bench of quality politicians?

Simple answer, of course, is that the current Democrat Party has no bench;  their talent pool, which may once have contained intelligent men like Tip O’Neill and Sam Rayburn have all been driven out of the party leadership in favor of vacuous idiots like AOC and larcenous malcontents like Ilhan Omar, all by the hard Marxists who are now the nomenklatura of the Party Of Jefferson — who by now would have used a handgun on pretty much all of them if he could see what they’ve done to it.

As for this moron Kenyatta, he’s just trying to leverage any opportunity to get guns out of the hands of citizens.  At least he’s behaving quite like his namesake, who was also an Afro-Socialist.

Amateur Hour

Marxists, Morons & Idiots, Weapons

I suppose that we should be grateful that this latest Leon Czolgosz-wannabe wasn’t as well prepared as he should have been.  Clearly, he went straight to the “Suggested Assassin’s Weapons” tab at Amazon or something — that is to say, he got some things quite right, and a lot of other things very wrong.  Consider this series of pics of his “arsenal” which he hoped to use at the Hilton D.C.:

Okay, let’s look at this “arsenal”.

  • Pump shotgun:  Yes of course.  If you’re going for “maximum damage in a confined area”, there are few better choices.  One might argue that a semi-auto would be a better choice, but potato-potahto.
  • Colt 1911 model:  Also a solid choice for a handgun, although he may have been better off with one of those guns which carry a 500-round magazine, e.g. a Glock.  Still, the chances of him getting to actually use a handgun (any handgun) during a mass shooting are going to be minimal, unless the 1911 is backup for when you run out of 12ga ammo.  But:
  • Knives (4, assassin for the use of):  Four knives?  For a gunfight?  Okay, by all means carry a knife as part of your EDC accoutrements (I do), but let’s be honest about this:  in his proposed scenario, a knife — any knife, let alone four — will be about as useful as a golf club, maybe less so.  And:  two throwing knives?  Useless;  toss them for a couple spare magazines (which you are going to need if shooting a 1911;  ask me how I know this.)  Also, a Ka-Bar is too unwieldy;  that boot knife (which I carry when wearing cowboy boots) would be the only decent option here.

I still think that the Secret Service missed a trick by not shooting the asshole dead on the spot, but that’s just me.  Given how inept the SS have been with their handguns in the past, however, subduing the scrote might have been the better option;  at least there was no collateral damage.
