We just want to make it too expensive to have them.

Not sure if this will pass, but it shows how they will never stop trying.

If this doesn’t work, then expect them to (highly) tax each firearm like an automobile….

in the press and the gun grabbing circles (but I repeat myself) if I were to design and print a line of paper targets which used police officers, soldiers or FBI agents or ATF agents as subjects?

I mean, would they cry that I was conditioning myself and others to shoot at agents of the government? How about long range targets (say 250-500 meters) of police cars? Maybe some closer targets of men wearing FBI hats…say 50-100 meters? Xrings on the heads, of course.

How about if I used young black men? (Statistically the highest demographic for crime….) in any scenario.

Just for training purposes….If and when. I case we ever see the unthinkable happen. Unusual scenarios and all that…..

What would be the difference between that and the targets put out by Law Enforcement Targets Inc, and marketed to (and purchased by) the police departments and agents of our benign overlords?

Perhaps I can market some Vicki Weaver targets or Branch Davidian targets to the HRT sharpshooters at Quantico…signed by Lon Horiuchi while I am at it.

Insurance Pools for ‘High-Risk’ Patients Running out of Money

Yeah, who could have seen that coming?  

“High Risk” people are more expensive to insure for a reason. 

BestBelt by Michael. (EvylRobot).

A little over a year ago, I saw Michael’s holster site for the and his sooper-dooper extra strong incredible belt.

Since I carry every day (sometimes a snubby revolver, sometimes a full size 1911, and other assorted firearms), I have worn out my share of belts. Generally they stretch and become twisted, and eventually provide no support for my firearms. I hate it when an IWB holster isn’t secure because the belt allows the holster to flop around.I generally can’t find a belt that lasts longer than 4-6 months before it is stretched out and useless.

Enter the “Best Belt”.(Bestbelt.com). Guaranteed forever, plus 6 months. Higher in nutrition and whitens teeth better than…..Wait, just guaranteed forever.

This is a well built item. 2 layers of leather with some sort of artificially man made fiber (maybe kevlar?) sandwiched in between. It has held up to nearly daily wear (at lest 8 hours a day) for over a year.

When I got the belt, it was, to be frank, very stiff. Stiff enough to keep your pants standing up without you being in them. Stiff enough that the belt would not stay coiled. A bit of use, the belt became a lot less stiff. Not as supple and flexible as a “normal” leather belt, but soft enough.

The leather has held up well, keeping it’s shine and color. It has remained new looking and good looking enough that I ordered another one a few months later, only with a basket weave pattern instead of asmooth plain finish.

 Not a s cheap as those belts you’ll find at the flea market, but better made and longer lasting.

Need a belt that will hold up well? That you can use to tow a car? A truck? Maybe even a 747? Possibly the Space Shuttle? That is sturdy enough to hold a full size pistol and holster in daily wear and for over a year and stay good looking? Then this is the belt for you.

Valpo gunshow yesterday.

Lots of people. The line was seldom less than 150 people long, even after noon. My understanding was that at the opening bell there were in excess of 700 people in line, waiting for the doors to open. I don’t know what the attendance numbers will be, but the gate collection must have been huge. Likely the Dunes Rifle and Pistol club made a profit on the day. Big time.

There were few deals to be had. Evil Black Rifles/Assault Weapons were available, but at very high prices. Saw a few enterprising capitalists carrying such rifles for sale, but at highly inflated prices, and few buyers. Ammo was available at inflated pricing. 5.56×45 available in limited quantities at $1.00 per round. Other calibers available at similar prices/availabilities.

Reloading supplies were similar. Pricing was inflated, and supplies/selection was limited.

Pistols were available, in quantities. Prices were fairly high, near MSRP. Sales were…brisk. LOTS of women buying.

Most vendors that I know….And I know a fair percentage of them at this show, all agree that pricing will likely return to near pre-Newtown levels in 3-5 months.  Maybe. Probably. 

I gotta say that the attitude of the crowd was….dispirited. Everyone was, of course, polite. (Never yet seen a gunshow crowd that wasn’t!). But the attitude was not as genial and happy as that of past gushows. Both vendors and buyers were different in attitude. Hard to put a finger on. Stressed.

I did see OG and Partner in passing, but he was coming in as I was leaving, so we didn’t spend much time together….Maybe next time. 

Seems that he isn’t much for “Business as usual” when it comes to politely following the standard practices amongst gentlemen.He has apparently pissed off the Old Guard in both parties.

Ted Cruz is apparently shaking things up because he doesn’t let the “old” ways of doing business keep him from asking the hard questions. Or getting someone to take real action.

That they would allow legislation like THIS to ever make it to committee, rather than quietly take the sponsor out back and beat him discourage them from ever trying with such an attempt in thefirst place.

     4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was
legally in possession of an  assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

Seriously. Does anyone think that such bills have a chance of passing?  It might work on the East coast where there is a liberal in every garage, or Kalifornia, but in the Midwest?  Seriously, Are they THAT disconnected? Don’t they realize that bills such as these unite the people against them, and anger and alienate even those who are, for the most part, otherwise ambivalent?

And in Wisconsin:

 A Democratic state senator and three Democratic state representatives have circulated draft legislation that would ban civilian possession of hollow point or frangible ammunition.

Notice that the legislators in this instance are from more “urban” settings.

Deal with it, Dude.

You are an illegal alien. You are a lawbreaker. You are illegal to hire and you SHOULD BE deported.

Using other words to describe your status doesn’t change that.
