Why Are Anti-Gun Advocates So Criminal?

Even outside of the arrests/convictions of MAIG members that far exceeds that of the public, take a look at a current trend in anti-gun advocacy:

Doctor in New York Arrested for Stealing Pro Gun Signs From Yards

Strange and deceitful new anti-gun tactic

So Moms Demand Action lied about Staples.

Anti-gunners play dirty tricks in Colorado recall

Theft, vandalism, defamation, outright deceit.   These are the core tactics of those who attempt to claim the moral highground while calling for 'reasonable' laws.

Blame The Gun

Typical Chicago headline:

2 men held without bail on charges they fired rifle out car window

So we should blame the gun. 

 Two men were ordered held without bail Thursday on charges that they fired an AK-47-style rifle out the window of a car as they drove around the city’s West Side this week, striking one man and partially paralyzing him, authorities said.

So blame the gun.

The men jumped out of the car and started fleeing south through a nearby alley before officers caught up to the two and arrested them five minutes later, police reports stated. Through an open window, an officer also spotted the assault rifle on the back seat floor of the car.

So blame the gun.

Both men were charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, both felonies. Hill was also charged with a felony count of being an armed habitual criminal.

 So blame the gun.

Boyd has seven previous felony convictions and Hill has four, Dibler said.

 And we know the only response by 'gun control' advocates will be to blame the gun. 

OGRE shipping Day 1

First day of shipping the Nihon pieces.  I think I've figured out most of the snags and have plenty of supplies. Main issues were Paypal locking up and getting payment through the USPS for orders.  After several hours, 25 orders were ready to go to the post office.

Yes, I know, there's only 20 in the box. 

A friend of mine is supposed to come over this weekend to assist in packaging so hopefully a nice chunk of them will go out.

Guns Have Taken Over Illinois....

So 'Illinois' took over the lower peninsula of Michigan.



at least according to some Brits asked to label the US states. 

The scary thing is most of these maps are more accurate than many US students could do.

HAPPY OGRE-MAS DAY!!!!!

The armaments hung by the chimney with care, with hopes that Steve Jackson soon would be there...

After a year and a half, the OGRE DE has finally arrived...... along w/ everything else.

Issue. The truck couldn't get onto my property.  Too narrow and steep.  So we do it the hard way.  Hippie mobile to the rescue:

Two carloads and 50+ reps of 50 lbs each and everything was into the house before dark.  I started w/ the little box.  It was swag (dog butt not included):

Then one of the Nihon boxes:

 and my official stamp of Gamer Geek coolness:

Opening the main box, I thought they had sent me a troll instead of OGRE:

j/k.  This is what was in there:

Out of the box:

Followed by pure Geek joy:

SQUEEE!!!!

 

Another MAIG Mayor Arrested

Monticello NY Jenkins. 

DUI, damage to property, yelling racial slurs. A history of assault and criminal activities.

Pretty typical.

Mosin Twins Cleanup Day 2

I was wrong.  The 1955 barrel didn't have the cosmoline cleaned out of it.  Some dish detergent got it out in nice heaping clumps to show an immaculate, shiny barrel.


The lemon oil treatment is definitely helping the stock but now I'm debating stripping and refinishing it.

Started working on disassembling/cleaning the bolt when I got called away for a honey-do.

So should I or shouldn't I strip and refinish?   I'm no expert on woodworking so any advice would be helpful.

DOOT Update

Been quiet around the trailer the last few days.  I've had a few rough days at work (those who know what I do for a living know what that entails); we've had one of my favorite cats, Beau, who was somewhere around 18, put down; and the Sears washing machine STILL isn't fixed.  The replacement part they sent was defective.

So the muse just hasn't been there.

On a positive note, the OGRE 6E Nihon order (a PALLET of stuff) is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. Expect many photos of joy.  The shipping out of all the sheets will be eating into more of my freetime.

Josh Sugarmann Attacks 'Assault Coins'

Joshie is jealous that the NRA actually has income and people who want to advertise in their magazines.  So his latest target?  One of those companies that make coins because it was the NRA's fault that Kennedy was killed or something like that.

Just the levels of silliness that the old school PuSH'ers are delving to truly explains why their organizations are relying exclusively on funding from groups like the Joyce Foundation and Bloomie.
