Four More Years

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Well this is ugly.

n a conference call this morning, Herman Cain told his senior staff that he is “reassessing” whether to remain in the race. He will make his final decision “over the next several days.”

I’m just going to read this as he’s dropping out of the race and that’s the end of it. I must say, Scott Brown’s turn to the RINO saved me from losing money donating to Cain (didn’t help that Fred Thompson sank without a ripple in 2008).

Still at this point I’m looking at a line-up of RINOs, Anti-Freedom Big-Government Republicans, and Ron Paul who has some good ideas, but ZERO idea how to implement them…and some horrible ideas like his Foreign policy ideas.

This tells me the nation is simply not READY for things to get better. Thankfully our current President is anything but a tyrant. He’s a lay-about with little interest in Politics outside of getting his face on TV. He has drafted no laws since he took office, he’s simply a figurehead for the Democrats in power…who are losing power.

Couple that with what may happen if Gingrich, or Romney, or Perry take office. They may draft bills. Bills on the line of Assault Weapons Bans, Cap-and=Trade, or the Patriot Act. They may draft bills, and have partisan support for them.

Thanks, I’ll stick with Obama if that’s the choice you’re giving me. I’ll vote for him next November and hang my head in shame.

Maybe four more years will wake a few people up.

On 9x19mm

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

I mentioned to Christina last night at the range that 9x19mm is the best self-defense cartridge there is.

Kinda interesting coming from me, given that I don’t actually OWN any guns in 9x19mm. My bread-and-butter is .45 ACP, in my 1911, and my PM45. Why .45? Well it works, and I’m already invested in the cartridge with guns, ammo, magazines, and reloading supplies. Also I have a preference to M1911 pistols, which were designed around .45 ACP, and therefore shoot them the best.

Still the Golden Age of the 9×19 vs .45 war (and the coup that was .40 S&W) seemed to be around WWII and after when ammo was all FMJ and the various full-size guns on the market were American .45s, and European 9x19mm guns. Well YEAH, if shooting only ball ammo .45 will do a LOT more damage than the 9mm (I suspect the flat-point often found on .40 S&W ball will have the most stopping power of all), but we’re NOT! I carry hollow point .45s, and anybody who knows what they’re doing carries hollow-point 9x19mm, and once you get there, and assuming we’re using quality ammo, vs. bargain basement hollow-points, really the question of how the shoot is going to go is all about where your shots land.

So that being said Chance is currently discussing dumping his pocket .380 for a pocket 9.

I’m basically simplifying my ammo stores. I may even dump my 45s.

There is something to be said about that (and also the reason why I got a PM45 rather than the PM9 or CM9, or P9 et al) Why get involved in yet another cartridge when I can carry a full-size .45, and a pocket-sized .45 and get by fine?

That being said if you’re starting from square one, 9x19mm is one of the most common pistol rounds on Earth, and there are few gun makers that don’t make a few guns in this cambering. Every ammo maker makes a few options in 9×19 ammo, and every gun shop and sporting goods store will have ammo to buy.

You can also get just about every type of gun on Earth chambered in 9×19, from the great-big Glock 34, to the pocket-sized Kahr PM9, and everything in between. Also when you compare a 9×19 gun with guns in .40 S&W, or .45 ACP, or even revolver cartridges, you get near identical terminal ballistics, in a smaller lighter package…or in a similar package but with MUCH more rounds.

If I had to start all over again and shrug off the Machismo, I might go the way of 9x19mm for all my defensive guns.

Or maybe I just like 1911s too much and would contradict all my advice about 9x19mm and guns with unnecessary safeties, as well as buying more affordable guns.

Hey there’s a reason why there are so many gun blogs, there’s just so much one can write about!

Welcome, have a read, enjoy yourself.

If you came here because you were curious what the big deal was…there really isn’t one. But Robert is butthurt because I’ve written posts like

Take it as you will. I’m just trying to make the world a better place for human rights, and blogging.

A Real DGU

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Read this whole thing.

The money-quote is here:

Azmat: I think those guys were rob me.
Me: I agree.
Azmat: You scare them off?
Me: I didn’t say a word to them.
Azmat: Your gun scare them off.
Me: Perhaps. You should call the police and report this.
Azmat: Yes, I will. You stay and talk to them too?
Me: Sure.

We told them the story, and Azmat showed them the tape.

Officer 1: They were definately going to hit the place. However since no crime was actually committed, the best we can do is look for them and see if we hit anything when we pull them over. You guys did great.
Officer 2 (to me): You should submit this to the NRA armed citizen column. We can corroborate your story.

This is why I’m terribly skeptical that all Defensive Gun Use stories that both appear in crime logs, or news stories are all of them.

Seems that all parties involved think a robbery was foiled simply because the predators realized that they weren’t the only guys with guns and decided that today was not the day for them to do evil.

No expressed violence, no crime committed, and no police report. Its not a “sexy” news story either, but if he hadn’t shown up when he did, and he wasn’t open carrying, a serious crime may have happened, and a deadly one at that! Also there were no dead bodies, or even injuries (which was one of the major flaws in the Anti’s pet that is the Kellerman study)

Carry your damn gun, you just might need it, and it just might save somebody’s life.

Farewell

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Found this video that covers all the major bases of Barney’s tragic political career.

Also shows what a steel-eyed liar Frank is. The man can look you in your eye and tell you the sky is Green without so much of a wince. You really need to be a cold hearted bastard to do that!

So Congressman Frank, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. And Massachusetts, you should be ashamed for calling this hemorrhoid one of your own.

Full Stupid

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

So I’ve posted a few of their videos. They also have a donation page up. You may want to hold off on that.

Still awesome videos, but don’t donate money right now unless you want it there to pay for stupid settlements.

BTW just look at all the stupid from the statements given. Also they think that was live ammunition??? Morons!

“Gun Death” Paradise

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Why would anybody have a Butcher’s Knife?

Four police officers have been stabbed after being called to a disturbance in north-west London.

Witnesses said a man had been chased by police in and out of shops before he fled into a butchers, grabbed a knife and attacked the officers.

Two of the PCs were seriously hurt and one suffered a broken hand during Saturday’s incident in Kingsbury Road.

Well I guess the knife belonged to a butcher and it was stolen by a criminal.

Of course this is London where police can stop and search people just for something to do, the city is laced with CCTV cameras, carrying of firearms are banned, ownership of firearms is restricted to the upper crust, Carrying Knives is illegal, and ownership of knives is heavily restricted, and self defense is illegal.

Hopefully the two seriously wounded officer pull through. Good thing they so heavily restrict the freedom of their subjects for a good reason, right?

Their Words

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Weerd Beard

This has been bouncing around a lot at Joan Peterson’s blog. Confiscation of guns. A few commenters and the Joyce/Brady shill have been dancing around it for a while, but now she up and said it.

I guess your definition of confiscation is different than mine. From the article you linked:” More than 160,000 handguns have been surrendered by their owners since new laws were introduced following the Dunblane massacre, the UK Government has revealed.”

Confiscate- ” To seize (private property) for the public treasury.
2. To seize by or as if by authority. See Synonyms at appropriate.
adj. (knf-skt, kn-fskt)
1. Seized by a government; appropriated.
2. Having lost property through confiscation.”

Gun owners in UK were compensated for their guns turned in though it took longer than they expected.

She said a similar, but slightly veiled thing about the New York and California SKS owners.

So there you have it, antis are against “Confiscation” so long as when they seize your property they give you “Fair compensation”.

Of course there also runs the lie, as there will NEVER be so much as “Fair Compensation” when an outright ban comes through, as suddenly firearms value becomes infinite. A real-world example can be found looking at transferable Machine Gun values. Just look at the prices on transferable Machine Guns here . An M16 or an Uzi in full auto doesn’t cost any considerable amount more to build than the semi-auto variant….but the cost can be as much as 10X or more. Why? Because when Reagan signed the Hughes Amendment the last civilian-legal Machine Guns were made. There are no more, and when one breaks or is destroyed, its gone from circulation. The value is supply and demand. When the supply is Zero, the price rises to infinity.

And of course all these people who didn’t “Voluntarily” turn in their guns were sent to prison for illegal possession of contraband.

I’ve said it before, the only thing these people care about is banning guns, and they will tell whatever lies they think we’ll buy to get closer and closer to that goal.

…and like their idols in the UK, when the guns are banned they’ll move to knives, and sporting equipment, and a total police state.

We must defeat them, for they are the enemies of freedom.

Good News!

Barney Frank won’t be seeking re-election!

What’s really sad is it took him peacefully stepping down to end his rein. Some people rag on Barney for being a homosexual, I think that’s just a cheap shot given what a reprobate he is. I’m not really in a mood digging up all his walking the line between public servant and common criminal, as well as his very close relationships with convicted felons.

I’m glad to see you go Barney, you’re a disgusting man that makes me ashamed every time you stand up to represent America. Also the fact that you served as long as you did, with as many scandals and criminal endeavors as you did shows how brain-dead the Massachusetts electorate is, and how Gerrymandered (Yes, Congressman Frank’s district is the one that named the whole term) your district is.

You will NOT be missed, and whatever cancer that replaces you will be better than you ever were!

“Gun Death” Psycho Driver

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Weerd Beard

Remember can’t compare guns with cars…

Daniel Ray Habeeb, 43, is being held without bail for allegedly violating the terms of his probation. In 2009, Habeeb was charged with vehicular homicide after crashing into a vehicle near Interbay, killing a 65-year-old woman. After doctors declared that Habeeb had suffered a previously undiagnosed psychotic episode during the 2009 crash, a plea agreement was reached that included a one-year suspended sentence and two years of probation, prosecutors said….Habeeb had his young daughter and the girl’s friend in his Ford Explorer when he struck Laura Sheard and Kristopher Martin’s Hyundai on Lake City Way Northeast, authorities said. The Hyundai and the Explorer traveled about 100 yards before the Hyundai burst into flames at about 3:40 p.m.

Sheard, a 26-year-old UW pharmacology student, and her boyfriend, Martin, a 33-year-old musician and video-production specialist at OnlineShoes, died at the scene.

So now he has 3 kills under his bumper. Yeah a gun is so much more deadly!
