Iffen I got this straight:

Dylan Roof was a terrible person, who represents all of us white people….We secretly hate black people and want to kill them all because  Confederate Flag….

But Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez was a lone gunman who did not represent any culture or religion….. was merely a lone psycho who was not motivated by anything like Islam….

for the Non-Ruger 10-22. (although I may have to use factory Ruger mags unless I wanna go with extended capacity ones) (ETA: Oops, I forgot to order a bolt buffer….Amazon, Baby!)

Now there is the fitting of the barrel to the receiver, the receiver to the stock, and other small fitments.

Damn it though, I’m fairly busy until Monday afternoon. Lots of fine work to do to assemble this .

It’s gonna be pretty. Red receiver, blue barrel, white stock….’Cause ‘Merica! that’s why.

Pics as I have time.

Everyone is pointing out that the recruiting office in Chattanooga was a “No Guns” zone. and everyone is at lest insinuating that had those folks been allowed to arm themselves that things would be different.

Maybe.

Probably not, however. Likely nothing would have changed. The asshole (I won’t bother naming him, everyone else has used his name way too much) reportedly used a “High Powered Rifle” to shoot at the recruiting center and kill the marines from OUTSIDE the facility.

Shot through the glass.

When you are working, or shopping are you that vigilant that you are watching the people 100 feet away OUTSIDE THE BUILDING?

I’m likely one of the most….some might say…paranoid…people that I know. If I could remount my eyeballs to scan better, I’d have it done. Always in “Condition Yellow” .Yet I’d have likely missed a threat outside the building a hundred feet away while I was working as well.

You can’t be 100% vigilant all of the time and still be out in the world doing things and getting wotk done. At some point you have to look at what is in front of you. Do a job, read a printout or a computer screen.

You are probably at home reading this. And if you are reading this, then you aren’t scanning for threats…… what about the guy driving by pointing a gun at your house?

Oh, you didn’t see him? All you heard was when he popped of three or 12 shots at the walls in which you reside?  Yeah, well, too late.

And you CAN be armed. Not that it matters, really. The Marines weren’t looking for a threat. Had no reason to believe that there was one….Even if they had been armed. what would have changed?

I mean, we haven’t had one for a while. Strangely, people of other races/culture/religion just don’t seem to have the issues,

And he is quoted asking, at the end of this article :”My name causes national security alerts,” the quote reads. “What does yours do?”

Well, now you know why your name gets special scrutiny, junior.

Wanna be treated like everyone else? Stop going “Islamic nutball killing machine”, and keep others who look like you from doing so as well. Condemn those who go “Sudden Jihad” and shun their supporters…

That would go a long ways to help you.

ETA:

Murphy has some thoughts about the subject as well

Wholeheartedly.

Let us hide the evil that is islamic flags

It is after all only logical. Somehow, dead black churchgoers were killed bu the confederate flag.

This mess in Chattanooga where 54 marines were killed bu someone who was islamic.

Let us tear down those flags then. And, while we are at it, let us burn the book from which he got his inspiration.

‘Tis only logical.

Australia has slammed the door shut on any new government-funded investment in renewable energy schemes as Prime Minister Tony Abbott extends his “war on wind power”.

How many BILLIONS has the western world spent on the wind boondoggle?

Look: wind and solar are a great idea if you cannot easily use another fuel, or if you have very limited or intermittent needs, or cannot easily bring power in from the grid.

But as main baseline generation? Nope

Never work. Ever. History has borne this statement out.

So the Non-Ruger 10-22 is coming together….at least the parts are becoming co-located…

Picked up the receiver from my FFL today. 4473 and all. The ATF(e) calls it an “other” …. why?

The Kidd trigger is very sweet. 12 oz and 12 oz  2 stage…Very, very nice. …. the pins holding it in place in the receiver are at exactly the right size. If you hold ’em in your hand too long, they won’t go into the holes in the receiver. Very close tolerances in all of these parts….

So I have receiver, bolt, cocking handle/recoil spring, trigger. Barrel is on the way. I have a Hogue stock that the assembly will live in until I find a better stock. For starters, it’ll get an old Redfield 4-16 X 40 scope that I have laying around to wear until I find something better.

I fully expect that the gun will shoot much better than I can. We shall see. I should be close to MOA shooting, even if it is .22LR.

Only here in the United States….

NAACP wants carving at Stone Mountain removed, and all other “Confederate Symbols” removed from every government building. 

Remember the Buddahs in Afghanistan? The statues at Ninevah? irreplaceable, but destroyed by religious whackos.

Same attitude, same poor thought processes.

But Fundamentalist are often like that.

So the pieces for the Non-Ruger 10-22 are beginning to trickle in.

notes:

When you order from Kidd, the parts are shipped, apparently, just before you finalize the transaction. I realized that I had forgotten to buy a bolt handle. I went back FIVE minutes after completing the first transaction, and the order had already shipped. Had to pay shipping twice. I mean, I got the notification of shipment from USPS….tracked that it was picked up as I was trying to modify the order.

Similar experience with Tactical Innovations: less than an hour from getting the paperwork for the FFL to them, and the receiver shipped. I get to pick it up tomorrow.

My Whistle Pig barrel should be here Wed. Shipping on that one took 2 days to happen. I shall have to complain…..

I mean, really, like exhuming the body of Nathan Bedford Forrest….Yeah, that’s gonna put everything right…..right?

Gonna fix the issues, yessir, it will. Because confederate….Slavery, KKK……
DoublePlus UnGood bad JuJu to some folks.

WTF?

Are you idiots gonna insist that we Nuke Africa? “cause you do realize that your ancestors likely were sold into slavery by …..other Africans, Maybe we should kill all the Muslims, because the slave traders who bought your ancestors from the other black people and sold them to the shipowners who brought them to the US were likely Muslims……

Are you fools trying to erase history, rather than rise above it?

You can’t erase it….and your attempts to do so won’t fix your problems, most of which have nothing to do with white people.

Fools.
