Good advice
Via Tamera@tacsgc:
This is good advice anytime you go to the range and especially when you are shooting on the property of others. Clean up your mess so you can come back next time.
Ultimate virtue signaling
Tam discusses the psychology of virtue signaling and how it is used to accumulate social capital in your tribe. She then makes what must be the largest possible deposit in her social capital bank account with this:
How about we give nuclear weapons to the unborn?
Nicely done. That was incredible!
Harsh but fair
Timely
Once a week my kids (all adults scattered among three different states) and I have a video call over dinner. After dinner we play some Internet games or watch a movie together. Weekend before last we watched Back to the Future.
That made this tweet from HollyCabot @HollyCabot all the funnier:

A couple of my friends have asked if you could move the event closer to the US-Canada border, so that we could shoot across the border rather than having to cross it ourselves.

I think that’s a really cool idea! It might even be an act of war or something. How much fun would that be?
But, it’s not really practical because the production and storage facilities are not mobile. And finding a suitable location might be tough. Washington State is out because of the onerous laws. Idaho doesn’t have a very long border with Canada. This would make it less likely to have a place I could rent on both sides of the border. Montana might have a place, but I don’t know their explosives laws.
But, if I had the time those are all solvable problems. Unless it really is considered an act of war.—Joe]

Chris: We thought we bought a stool. We’ve been sold one leg of a stool. Now they are trying to sell us the other two legs of a stool and I think I’ve got a stick up my ass. What do you think?
Devin: I think I would rather not sit down.

This looks like it should be a good product:
It’s definitely a good ad.
Chicago isn’t that violent

I suspect this report is somewhat exaggerated.
Quote of the day—Right Wing Duck
San Francisco recently passed Proposition H, which bans the ownership of guns in homes and businesses.
I for one am comforted by the fact that San Francisco has taken this safety measure. Now when some big dude meets you along a dark street, you’ll know that it’s not a gun in his pocket. The downside of course is that he’s really happy to see you.

IMAO Time Machine: Proposition H – A fun look at gun control
[Note the phrase “Time Machine” in the title. Proposition H was passed 14 years ago on November 8, 2005.
While this quote has a high humor value it has a lot of truth in it.—Joe]

Don’t worry. It’s only CGI. The real thing is still classified as Top Secret and won’t be released for field work until Beto is elected President.
Fake but accurate
In reference to this.
Amusing even though I doubt Beta boy has this much awareness of, well, anything:

Revolvers must go through the revolving door
Yesterday I saw this sign on a door:
I was struck by all the ambiguity. How many different plausible interpretations are there? Here is my first cut at the set:
- No guns allowed beyond this point unless you go through the revolving door.
- Long guns and pistols are okay but no revolvers may pass through this door.
- Do not use this door, use the revolving door, because of revolvers.
- Revolvers must be taken through the nearby revolving door.

I’d be ok with Beto trying to take guns if he promises to do it personally.

[H/T Basil.
I see two ways this working out:
- He uses his own money to “buy back” the guns at a price people are willing to sell.
- He attempts to confiscate them from unwilling owners and he is arrested, prosecuted, and goes to prison or a mental ward.
Regardless, it’s pretty funny to think about.—Joe]

It is, of course, a reference to Beto saying that as POTUS, if given the chance, he would demand a “mandatory buyback” of all privately owned AR-15s.
I agree with Knox. The Babylon Bee has been a great satire site and I will miss the humor. But if the skill they have demonstrated continues in their new endeavors they will do well and I also wish them the best.
At a recent shooting match I asked a few people what they would do if Beto got his way. The near universal response was a laugh and them saying something similar to, “What AR-15s? I don’t have any AR-15s.” Also mentioned was something to the effect of a “Tragic boating accident.”—Joe]
Now that’s funny right there
Via email from John Hardin:
Now that’s funny right there, but unless you are a gun owner you probably won’t get it.
Ingenious trick!

Mit diesem genialen Trick kann man leicht einen Schokoriegel in ein US-amerikanisches Kino schmuggeln!

With this ingenious trick you can easily smuggle a chocolate bar into a US cinema!
That’s very clever! I might try that sometime. However, I’d leave a round in the chamber and have a spare magazine on my belt for a quick conversion to full functionality.
