Sigh…

Can’t find anything positive to post, so you get humor…

  • Not many people know that Land Rovers attempted to market a computer. Why did they stop? They could not find a way to get it to leak oil!
  • A Land Rover doesn´t leak oil, it marks it´s territory. Did you hear about the man whose Land Rover didn’t leak oil? The factory took it backand worked on it until it did.
  • Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner “How can you tell one switch from another at night? They all look the same. ” – “He replied, “It does not matter which one you use, nothing happens !”
  • The Lucas motto: “Get home before dark.”

  • “I have had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never had any trou…”
  • If Lucas made guns, wars would not start.
  • A friend of mine told everybody he never had any electric problems with his Lucas equipment. Today he lives in the countryside, in a large manor with lots of friendly servants around him an an occasional ice cold shower…
  • Back in the 70’s, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.
  • Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators
  • Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone.Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.
  • Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: Check the position of the stars,kill a chicken and walk three times clockwise around your car chanting:” Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant..”

And one more…

One day while on their way to get married, a young couple were involved in a fatal car accident. The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven?? When Saint Peter shows up, they asked him.

Saint Peter says, “I don’t know. This is the first time anyone has ever asked. Let me go and find out,” and he leaves.

The couple sat and waited for an answer……for a couple of months. While they waited, they discussed that IF they were allowed to get married in Heaven, SHOULD they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all.

“And what if it doesn’t work out?” they wondered, “Are we stuck together FOREVER?”

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns looking somewhat bedraggled. “Yes,” he informs the couple, “You CAN get married in Heaven.”

“Great!” said the couple, “But we were just wondering, what if things don’t work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?”

St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.

“What’s wrong?” asked the frightened couple.

“OH, COME ON!!” Saint Peter shouts, “It took me three months to find a Judge up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it’ll take me to find a Lawyer?

Enjoy your weekend folks!

Can’t stop the signal…

YouTube/Google to block firearms related videos

YouTube is going to block all gun videos staring in April. Even the “how-to” disassembly and cleaning videos.

The Internet, which treats all censorship and security efforts as outages to be routed around, has already responded.

Here, and tell everyone, repost this everywhere, every gun forum, every 2A blog, is the site for gun videos.  

https://www.full30.com/

Hickok45 is already there. So is Forgotten Weapons. I’ll see you there.

And a link, HERE from Miguel GunFreeZone with a few more details.

Simply unbelievable… And I’m betting this will hit their bottom line from loss of ad revenue…

HOTR is back!!!

Brigid is back in the blogsphere!!! After an 18 month self-imposed absence, she’s posting again! Drop over and let her know she’s been missed!

An article worth reading…

Walter Williams posits an interesting point in his article in Townhall…

One of the unavoidable tragedies of youth is the temptation to think that what is seen today has always been. Nowhere is this more noticeable than in our responses to the recent Parkland, Florida, massacre. Part of the responses to those murders are calls to raise the age to purchase a gun and to have more thorough background checks — in a word, to make gun purchases more difficult. That’s a vision that sees easy gun availability as the problem; thus, the solution is to reduce that availability.

The full article is HERE.

One other point I would make is that if our parents/grandparents could come back, they would be amazed and horrified at the restrictions on gun sales…

This ad is from a 1950s Sears Catalog! They were still selling guns in their catalog into the 1970s!!!

And this one is from Boy’s Life (Boy Scout’s Magazine in the 1960s).

As teenaged Boy Scout camp counsellors in the 1960s, we were allowed to handle both BB guns and .22 rifles. We also taught safety classes to the campers, and took them to the range at the camps. And of course, ‘we’ had to make sure all the rifles worked… 😀

So no… What is happening ‘today’ is not the norm, if you’re an adult. Even less so, if you’re an older adult… Sigh…

Texas under fire…

Three explosives detonated in Austin, one in San Antonio at a FedEx facility…

And last night, an incendiary device…

Timeline, HERE.

Except this ‘string’ of events doesn’t make sense from a profile or M.O. if you will…

Historically, bombers don’t change ‘techniques’ in mid-stream. From public information, the first two were on people’s porches, and exploded injuring/killing people.

The third, was outside and ‘possibly’ used a tripwire,apparently had ‘shrapnel’ embedded. Technique change one…

The fourth, in a FedEx facility, specifics unknown, but first one ‘shipped’. Technique change two…

The fifth, an incendiary. Technique change three…

Now I’m NOT and expert, don’t play one on TV, etc. But having said that, I’ve been through a brief or three, and have done bomb searches in another life… My ‘guess’ is one original bomber, and at least one or two possible copycats.

If that is true, this one is going to be a PITA for law enforcement and the bomb squads. And who knows if it’s going to spread. If I didn’t order something, and know it’s coming, you can bet I’m NOT going to open any package that I receive out of the blue.

Another think  folks might want to think about is that Amazon boxes, FedEx, UPS packages are pretty damn easy to ‘duplicate’ or reuse. Just sayin…

Stay safe out there, please!

Edit- He offed himself last night, HERE.

FINALLY!!!

Grrr… 14 freaking months…

FOURTEEN… Sigh… Three, count ’em, three back and forths with BATFEIEIO for more forms…

But I finally got my grubby paws on it. Now comes the ‘fun’ of getting the rifles updated with the correct flash hider/muzzle brake to accept the suppressor.

Why did I wait, you may ask? Because the gunsmith said it would be stupid to change out flash hiders without having the suppressor to mount and confirm clearances.

Soooo… Dropping the rifles off Monday, then wait 3-4 more weeks for them to be done!

Glad I didn’t wait for the HPA to become law, because I’d be even FURTHER behind than I already was. Of course it’s not all bad, I still don’t have the subsonic ammo I ordered…

Sigh…

Unbelievable…

This just… PISSES ME OFF!

An Ohio high school student says he tried to remain nonpolitical during school walkouts over gun violence and was suspended for a day because he stayed in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, a study hall.

Full article, HERE.

Soooo… The school left him unsupervised, which means the teachers walked out too.  If I were the parents, I’d be suing their asses for abandonment/failure to safeguard the ‘child’…

In other news, I’ve seen some reports that ‘students’ as young as 4th and 5th grades were ‘told’ to walkout in protest at various schools.

These kids are nothing more than pawns of the left, they don’t give a damn about them, other than as a photo op. I doubt that any of those kids actually have much of a clue over the entire thing.

Bal’more, which is supposedly broke and laying off teachers, coughed up $100000 to bus their kids to DC…

In Chiraq, the kids ransacked a Wally World… HERE.

Lastly, in the GOOD news column, it appears the DOJ actually did fire FBI official Andrew McCabe last night, so no pension!

“DOJ OIG compiled a report, and the FBI’s OPR then reviewed the report and underlying documents and issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr. McCabe.  Both the OIG and FBI OPR reports concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor − including under oath − on multiple occasions.”

Finally, some accountability for actions at a high level! Now it appears McCabe is ‘threatening’ to spill the beans on everybody/everything…

I wonder where Hildabeast will find ‘this’ suicide note…
