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….
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.
That President Lincoln has been misquoted as saying:
‘If you read it on the Internet then in must be true”
Oddly, I cannot verify this through Google.
What, exactly, has changed by the removal on the Confederate flag?
What has been fixed?
I still fail to see where the flag hurt anyone, and I fail to see where this is gonna fix things for the Black culture and for black people.
The flag didn’t cause their problems, and removing it changes nothing.
It isn’t white Confederates that keep Black people poor and depending on the Government for help… It is poor Black Culture that does it…..
So tell me. What, really, has been accomplished by removing that flag?
It has begun.
REBELLION: These 5 Governors Just Vowed to DEFY Obama’s New Executive Order
Hey, if Immigration laws, then why not this?
These are cities where, for some reason, the flouting of immigration laws is accepted…..by the people, by the lawmakers, by the police, by the state governments in which they exist, and by the Federal Government…
Why?
Why is the flouting of any law acceptable? It isn’t that the law is illegal….It isn’t that the laws are not enforced elsewhere in that state or in the country…..just in certain cities where the Mayor or whatever they call the leader of that municipality has “Decreed” that these Federal and State laws will not be enforced……..
In other words, the Mayor of San Francisco has declared that we can ignore certain laws…
And the higher governments accept it, and acquiesce….They, by failing to enforce the laws, agree that it is acceptable to break them.
What if a municipality (or a state) were to decide that other Federal laws were acceptable to ignore?
Say gun laws, or marriage laws. O laws regarding finance?
Or, say, tax laws?
What would happen then? If it came about that the city of, say, Ottumwa, Iowa decided that all laws regarding the manufacture (or transfer) of firearms were null and void, would the Federal government look the other way? How about the State?
How about if Reno, Nevada decided that there need be no licences to handle nuclear materials? How about if Ogden,Utah decided that there need be no currency or banking laws, and allowed anyone to deposit any amount of money in a bank, with no records as to where it came from? What if the town of Athens,Georgia outlawed homosexuality…Made it an offense punishable by a year in jail?
Would the Feds just shrug and look the other way?
While I do feel that there are too many laws, and many are unconstitutional, these are laws. Either enforce them, or take ’em off the books.
Why does the Federal Government fail to enforce their own laws in “Progressive” cities? Why is that acceptable?
Or just more gun control propaganda?
So the Plainfield, Illinois police were called because some kids were playing with airsoft rifles.
They confronted the kids, This we know.
The officers claim the kids pointed the rifles at them, and they reacted (as they should have, if their version of the story is true) and nearly shot one of the kids.
The kids claim they were playing in the woods, and never pointed the rifles at the officers., who drew on them immediately….
Which story is true? We don’t know. Kids tend to bend the truth….but so do officers these days….Hard to judge.
But these were kids, not adults. Plainfield is a fairly affluent suburb of Chicago. Not an inner city shithole. Kids. Fairly young men, not adults, or even adult sized kids.
One would expect officers of the law to have a bit more sense.
This coulda been ugly…very ugly.
Methinks the officers overreacted just a bit…..Perhaps. Pointing a gun shaped object, orange tipped or not, at anyone is not a good idea. How would you react?
Now, having said that, the difference in appearance between an airsoft rifle and a real one is the orange tip, which can be painted on a real rifle for less than $5.00. Can of paint and some tape and 10 minutes, plus dry time.
I am glad everyone went home that day with no extra holes in their body.
