Regarding “How 2 prevent Mass Shootings” I absolutely agree that you should be able to get them through the mail. It would reduce crime like nothing else I can imagine except perhaps a proper justice system that hangs rapists, murderers, thieves, tyrants, and terrorists.
One should accumulate death threats online so that you can plant an exploding package on your porch as bait with plausible deniability that it’s yours.
How? Be prepared to make up to 50 yard shots, on demand, with the sidearm you carry every day. 100 yards if you can.
You now -way- outgun most yahoos.
A close relative demonstrated 100 yards with a J-frame Smith and Wesson. (Snubnose .38 Special, 5-shot pocket revolver)
Starting out? 5 yard head shots on demand, 10 yard body. You can use dessert-sized paper plates as the “head” training target. Dinner-size for body shots. (The ElCheapo target company thanks you.)
Push the dinner plate out as far as you can get first five rounds all on the plate. Pay particular attention to making the first one on target. That’s your envelope. Keep pushing it out and getting back on.
Note, you will likely solve the defensive problem, or not, with the first round, certainly in the first five. Make that first round -effective-.
Or maybe it’s an artifact, something the boys found in those underground night club venues in Germany, then John lost it one day when he was stoned, and the ELO guys eventually found it along a road outside London…
There was a fellow I encountered some years ago that every time he saw me (or anyone else..) he’d ask “Who is your favorite Beatle?” and go on about the Beatles.. and on.. and on. Once, having had quite enough, I replied, “Peter Tork.” He didn’t ask me again.
For now. I just keep seeing her 65 years later being overweight, frumpy, tired, and in a faded dress of pastel flowers, with a scarf over her thin gray hair and tied under her double chin.
We need a new game show, ‘Hunting Commies for Mommy’ Rednecks get to hunt down Commies in their native habitats. I can’t wait to see the urban Ghilley suits. Or ‘The Press’ every time you find a lie or plagiarism in Journalists record you turn a giant handle and the Journalist gets squashed a little more until flat.
Being a proud redneck from waaaa-y back (the New Yorkers were surprised we were wearing shoes) and having my own share of experience with boom, if we ever should meet in person I’ve got stories that are officially and legally not true but verifiable in nearly every other sense about the things we hillbillies got up to back in the day…
Several years ago, the Saudi and Jordanian governments had to tell people that birds with leg bands were NOT specially trained by the Israelis and DON’T shoot or capture them to turn in to the government for spying.
I can’t wait to start another one, hmmm, Let’s see what can we come up with? “The lines on the road are for aerial targeting purposes from jets and drones” “Cell phone towers are for spying on you” Feel free to come up with better ones and pass them along.
Anyone else think Lot’s family was horribly dysfunctional? Guy offers his young daughters to a crowd just so they leave his two guests alone. His wife doesn’t pay any attention to warnings and gets a-salted. And his daughters get him wasted and have incestuous relations with him. If those were considered the actions of a righteous man, then Sodom and Gomorrah must have been almost as bad as California.
“We just got a message from Zarkon VII. They’re highly offended at the implication that Klaus Schwab is one of theirs. They demand an immediate apology, or they’ll warp Davos into another dimension.”
“Can we get them to wait until the next WEF conference?”
On the ‘tank suppressor’ I’m pretty sure that’s a Paladin 155mm mobile howitzer. I know, I know, it’s an armored tracked vehicle with a huge gun, but it’s not considered a tank.
