Not that they will actually LEARN

to shoot them well, but still:

  “Progressives” buying guns for purposes other than “sport shooting,” and doing so for the express purpose of defending against what they see as a potentially tyrannical government and the chance of civil unrest. Likewise, minorities are also buying guns, and for the same reason.


Millenials….they likely think they can learn to shoot well by watching a video or two on YouTube…..and that they can just pick ’em up and shoot well and accurately..Just like in the mooviees. 


HT: WarOnGuns

And the shoe tastes different when it is on the other hand…..

Seems that now that they won’t be the ones calling the shots, the leftists are learning that they are subject to the rules they imposed on everyone else.

All those folks who had to serve those whom they disliked, or disagreed with (think religious people who own bakeries) are smiling now.

And those who felt it was alright to tell the rest of us how we had to live and whom we had to associate with and do business with and such?

Yeah, They are learning a terrible lesson. .

Sadly, for them, too late. We’d been telling them about this for years….To deaf ears.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Merry Christmas

Or Happy Hanukah

Or Solstice

Or whatever your midwinter holiday is in your family and culture.

Enjoy the season and the day with friends or family.

Raise a glass to those standing watch in lands far away……away from their family and friends. And those standing guard here at home…Cops, Firemen and EMT’s who aren’t with their families today to protect you and yours.

And, above all, remember the Reason for the Season.

Helping it go viral:

Read this.…Especially if you are a democrat.

And there is a lesson here is you are a republican too.

In fact, if you are an east or wet coast politician, then you should pay attention. Understand why both sets of folks in “Flyover Country” don’t like your candidates.

I gotta go buy a 9/16 impact socket.

On the day before Christmas.

I’d sooner gouge my nads off with a spoon.

I hate crowds of people. Pushing, shoving rude Christmas shoppers are an order of magnitude worse.

Having fun at the auto parts store….

So the fiberglass rope gasket on my woodstove came free last night from where I had glued it to the door. This is a really really Bad Thing, as without the gasket there is no way to control the air going to the fire….with the predictable results.

Yes, the house gets too hot and the stove glows like a crucible fresh out of kiln.

So I go to the auto parts store today for a tube of hi-temp silicone as a temporary fix. (the real fix entails peeling the rest of the gasket off, possibly damaging it and then chiseling.grinding the remaining cement off and then redoing the gasket and waiting 3 days for the cement to dry.) and ask ’em where the hi temp Permatex is?

“We got 3 kinds of hi temp silicone, what do you need it for?” dude says, trying to be helpful.

(I need the copper Permatex, as that is good for like 700F)

“Got a high speed muffler bearing that’s leaking.” I reply. The girl behind the counter is looking at me with wide eyes…

“Leaking from the front or the back?” he deadpanned

She looks suspicious, but as he replied so quickly, she’s not sure if this is bullshit or not…..

“Leaking from both ends, but more the front than the back” I answer…

She blinks hard and looks at him, eyes wider yet.

“Use the black Permatex” he says.

Then I smiled and asked for the Copper stuff.

I explained that I was fixing a seal on a woodstove and I needed the highest temp possible.

Young lady looks much more relaxed as she realizes that the back and forth was the bullshit that she thought it was, but wasn’t sure until now….

You bet….If only he can make it happen

Via Wirecutter:

America owes President Barack Obama an enormous debt of gratitude for showing how truly dangerous the federal government can be when our Constitution’s checks and balances start failing. With the active collusion of congressional Democrats, President Obama’s presidency has been one long series of body blows to the separation of powers that has protected our democracy since the founding. The results have been stark. Never has a president trampled so much on the prerogatives of Congress. Obama’s executive orders, suspending parts of our immigration laws and even his own prized Obamacare, have been sheer usurpations, going far beyond even the breathtaking delegations of legislative authority granted by the brief Democratic supermajority in Congress in 2009–10.
