DoJ says it won't appeal the ruling

on suppressors and SBRs and such.  Which is nice.

Now if ATF will actually put it in writing, THAT will be very nice.

And even better would be if Congress would get rid of the NFA crap.  Which would require both Republicans to pull their head out of their ass, and some Democrats realizing all the people they'd delight with joining in.  Which means, generally, fat chance.

Damn right, Mr. Franklin

 

Ah yes, those professional Special Agents and trustworthy lawyers and bureaucrats

in the Do'J'.  You know, the ones we're told we can trust?

Sold out or otherwise corrupt, every damned one of them still around needs to be fired.  And the ones who lied, in writing or in testimony?  Prosecute them.

That includes the bastards like the AG who appointed Smith when he damn well knew he could not legally be a Special Counsel.  I'm sick to death of high-ranking bastards who never actually pay any price for breaking the law and violating their oath.

Genocide hypocrites

 Good piece on the subject

Very appropriate title: 'The 'Cornell 7' haven't been charged.

The mob doesn't care'
No, they don't.

And, considering the idiot statements by the NY Governor, and her appointment of an 'investigator' who'd made a 'I believe her' statement before she was chosen, they won't.  They want female voters outraged and seeking vengeance, justified or not.  They want women being told "You don't have to take care of yourself, Society should protect you from everything!  Do whatever you want, you should suffer no problems!"
No, this won't go well.  

Borrowing:
“We don’t owe accusers anything except to treat the accusation seriously, to investigate both sides’ claims, and to test the admissible evidence against clear laws. But that’s not what the leftists and feminists want to do here. That’s not what New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wanted done by appointing New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. Hochul had already framed the young woman as a victim who was “literally gang raped,” and said she deserves to have “justice pursued.” Her catspaw James is supposed to run an objective criminal investigation? That’s a travesty. She has her marching orders, and she will march accordingly.”

And the lawsuits will follow, etc.

This is interesting, in a somewhat scary-as-hell way

Seems a Russian scientist in a bio lab broke a test tube and is dead from plague, and they're having a certain amount of panic attack on this.

From what I've read of past troubles they've had with bio warfare crap, I'd be scared too.

Yeah, the special relationship with (formerly Great)Britain is done for

And barring massive change in their government*, it'll stay done for.  Because nobody in their right mind will trust the bastards in charge.

Which means if the Democrats think they can do it, they'll kiss the Prime Minister and other bigshots asses and want to move the planes back, to make it easier for the terrorists to get to them.


*Something involving many oak trees and much rope would probably be necessary.

One of these nights,

one of these crazy nights,
I may run out of stuff to clear, but not yet

                            Miniskirts and crop tops, it seems, have been around a long time

As someone noted, this whole mess, if it wasn't before, has been completely politicized

by the NY Governor and the corrupt clown Letitia James, including this:

A: It was YOUR Facebook post, idiot.
B: read the whole piece here, with stuff on James I'd never heard before.  And I wonder how much this 'I agree with everything she said, with no investigation' could get her sued for?

A question for those who reload, or An addition

have ballistics knowledge:
I've noticed something about some subsonic loads.  You expect the bullet to have a lower point of impact at any distance due to the lower velocity, but some very consistently hit a bit to the right.  The one I tried recently grouped very tightly at 50 yards, but an inch to the right.  That was in .308, a while back I tried some subsonic loads, both factory and reloads, in 7.62x39 that hit a bit more to the right as well as lower.

I'm wondering if it's the difference in recoil in those loads, or something else.  Any thoughts?

Added:

This is on an indoor range at 30 yards, from a rest, so no wind.  The .308 was tried at 50 outdoors, but not wind there either.
All cases trimmed, and bullets seated to the same depth.  That's a slightly different depth than the full loads, but consistent.

I spoke with a guy I know who's an engineer who has studied lots of things, he says it's the weight combined with different time in the bore due to lower velocity causing the bullet to leave the muzzle at a different time than the full-power loads.

Some history, borrowed from Ace:

 Daily dose of history, September 27

Samuel Adams was an abject failure as a businessman. After graduating from Harvard with two degrees, his father gave him the money with which to launch his business career. Sam soon lost it all. He was 26 when his father died, leaving him a substantial inheritance. But by the time Samuel reached middle age most of the money was gone and he was barely able to support his wife and two children. He was well on his way to being someone history would not remember. But in 1764, at age 42, Samuel Adams gave up any further pretense of being a businessman and devoted himself to his true calling—politics.

An ardent proponent of the rights of the colonists since his college days, and a strident admirer of the writings of John Locke, Adams was a brilliant political organizer and a stirring public speaker—seemingly a natural-born revolutionary. He emerged as a leader of the resistance to taxation without representation. To the Patriots he was an inspiring motivator. To the Tories he was a provocative rabblerouser. Adams played key roles in the events leading to both the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. He founded the Sons of Liberty. He conceived the idea of Committees of Correspondence. He organized and championed the boycott of British goods. And he served as a delegate to the Continental Congress. Thomas Jefferson would later call him, “truly the man of the Revolution.”

After retiring from Congress, Samuel Adams served as governor of his beloved Massachusetts, before dying peacefully on October 2, 1803, at age 81.
Samuel Adams was born on September 27, 1722, three hundred four years ago today.

“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Growing up, it was a common trope that cultures that we now associate with poverty, violence, and oppression were once world-leading in promoting prosperity and moral progress as well as the quintessentially human act of inventing. This popular belief was ultimately not driven by an earnest desire to promote awareness of empirically true but neglected facts. Instead, it was supported by anecdotes and quotations of dubious reliability and relevance, by scholarship that has turned out to be exaggerated or fraudulent, and by the promotion of these things in popular media.

My favorite example of this has to do with the invention of many of the inventions credited to the so-called Islamic Golden Age by a rogue Wikipedia editor.

My latest article is about how a rogue Wikipedia editor confabulated and misattributed thousands of inventions and concepts to Muslims

This trolling made its way into blogs, articles, books, and TV programs. You might even believe some of his lies!

Here's the article.  I've only had a chance to skim over it before, but looks real interesting.

Remember this crap?

I have no idea how this 'hold it sideways' crap got started, but movies and TV made it big, at least for a while, so someone had this idea.

Who knows, if gang bangers had taken to it, maybe they wouldn't have sprayed shots and hurt so many innocents.  Doubtful, but can hope.

Yes, Britain is a police state,

though I prefer janissary state, as the janissaries march her away for carrying a sign they disapprove of.

Kim notes one of the ongoing problems with ATF, them violating the law(again)

and playing "Oh, but THAT'S not what it is!" and expecting- again- to get away with it.

Let's note that ATF still hasn't sent out the final, current rules on suppressors and such that they insist they're working so hard on.

But we can trust them to, right?

I added this to the 'campus rape' post, but I'll add it in here too

Camille Paglia is very tired of the "Women are all helpless victims, everything is someone else's- preferably a male's- fault!" crap.

In case you hadn't figured it out, barring a miracle

France is screwed.

A piece on the 'Rape On Campus' myth Addition

of "A quarter of all female students are raped!"
One excerpt:
So what reality does lie behind the campus rape industry? A booze-fueled hookup culture of one-night, or sometimes just partial-night, stands. Students in the sixties demanded that college administrators stop setting rules for fraternization. “We’re adults,” the students shouted. “We can manage our own lives. If we want to have members of the opposite sex in our rooms at any hour of the day or night, that’s our right.” The colleges meekly complied and opened a Pandora’s box of boorish, sluttish behavior that gets cruder each year. Do the boys, riding the testosterone wave, act thuggishly toward the girls? You bet! Do the girls try to match their insensitivity? Indisputably.

College girls drink themselves into near or actual oblivion before and during parties. That drinking is often goal-oriented, suggests University of Virginia graduate Karin Agness: it frees the drinker from responsibility and “provides an excuse for engaging in behavior that she ordinarily wouldn’t.” A Columbia University security official marvels at the scene at homecomings: “The women are shit-faced, saying, ‘Let’s get as drunk as we can,’ while the men are hovering over them.” As anticipated, the night can include a meaningless sexual encounter with a guy whom the girl may not even know. This less-than-romantic denouement produces the “roll and scream: you roll over the next morning so horrified at what you find next to you that you scream,” a Duke coed reports in Laura Sessions Stepp’s recent book Unhooked. To the extent that they’re remembered at all, these are the couplings that are occasionally transformed into “rape”—though far less often than the campus rape industry wishes.

Addition: Camille Paglia is very tired of the "Women are all helpless victims, everything is someone else's- preferably a male's- fault!" crap.

Be nice if some of the media in that state asked their favorite islamist

what he thinks about this.  And if, him being so caring about sharia, he wants the same here.

She calls them Legacy Media, I still use 'Professional Journalists', but same feeling:

I don't think it's possible to hate most of them enough.

Same with a bunch of Democrats, any wonder why the IRGC wants people to vote them back into majorities in Congress?

I repeat, British cops stopped being peace officers a long time ago, now

they're nothing but janissaries serving their new masters.

One more 'Scientists find that sailor was telling the facts,

they're all excited'

Well, the English 'elites' pushed and pushed for this, and it's happening,

and they're losing their minds about it.

Add to that the bloody mess over the people caught near that airbase.  At the least a bunch of people should be either demoted or fired over this crap.  And their official reaction is "You people don't know enough about this to get all upset."

How did Britain get so terrorist friendly?  Said elites and the janissaries that used to be known as police worked at it.  Hard.

Now go further east.  Madam Hoyt notes this:
Abroad… Well, I wonder how much is happening that we never hear about. Though so far the turn to the right of Europe is the kind that seems to be more “American Right” than the traditional European jackboots left that respects national leanings and history. It’s both salutary and it scares the spit out of the left. As it should. A lot of what they’ve done this century and a half is to keep the “infection” of Americanism from overtaking the world. And I think they might have thrown a boomerang at their own faces.

If you've looked at any news, you know that the German .gov, which is just as bad as the Brit, has been having cows about the German right("They're nazis!  They're hard right!  They're enemy!" etc.) and trying to figure out a way to play "We don't care if you won the elections, no power for you!"  Which is working about as well as you'd think.  We'll see how that works out.  And the Poles are telling the EU to go to hell in various ways, also not turning into the Hitler or Stalin wannabes the little Stalins in Brussels want them to be.

Over here?  We've got the mini-Stalins telling us they want to trash that nasty old Constitution and get on with their progressive "Do what you're told!"  Which includes people that, when they find out more about Piker and that equally asshat El-Sayed have said and demanded, more people say "I don't think so", which has caused El-Sayed to play "He's not on my campaign(no matter how much he helps me)" as the elections draw close.  They're playing the same as that clown Talarico in Texas, "Ignore all I've said and called for and vote for me, so I can go back to pushing the crap you don't want!"

We'll see what happens.

Due to hours and running out of them, this did not happen on schedule,

so here it is late

                                                            I can't go drinkin- oh wait,

                                                                    I have you, yes I can!
