Many things happened on this day in history:

Beginning of the American Revolution

(depending on whose material you check) Hitler’s birthday (or maybe it is tomorrow)

Warsaw uprising:

First Parachute Jump

The end of the Waco siege.
(which led to)
Oklahoma city bombing.

Many good things happened on this date in history, and many bad as well.

On THIS date, I turn a half Century OLD.

I’m not too sure what to think about that.

One the one hand, it is just another day on the calendar.

On the other hand, The frigggin AARP tells me I can join them.

I really gotta tell ya, I never seriously planned on living this long anyway, so it is all a bonus. 

Ah, well. .

And say a prayer to whomever or whatever deity you talk to, or if none of those, send good thoughts towards Brigid’s direction.

Can’t tell you why, I’ll let her explain when she decides to.

But prayers and thoughts would be nice.

Please.

Watch:

You KNOW you wanna vote for this guy.

At least he has balls enough to “approve this message”

Since the cattle wranglers (Cowboys) who were hired to round up Cliven Bundy’s cattle were paid for with government funds…

And Government funds are public property…

Can someone find out the names of those hired cattle wranglers?

And publish them?

Let the people decide how they should be treated?

I’m not talking violence here, but rather, should other ranchers decide that they don’t need their services, and veterinarians choose not to take care of their horses, and other people in their communities where they live choose not to sell them groceries and mechanics choose not to work on their cars and parts stores not sell them parts, andother merchants choose not to do business with them…..

Would that send a message?

;Perhaps the working for the Federal government isn’t such a good idea?

Let the community as a whole make that decision?

You’ve probably seen it already, but if not, take a few minutes (11 actually) and watch and listen.

I can’t verify much, but it all hangs together with what we have seen and heard over the past few days.

Draw your own conclusions.

So I am shopping online for parts to build a new “Ruger” 10-22.

(not that it will have many (if any?) Ruger parts in it)..

Anyway, I find that about 2 out of 5 retailers AUTOMATICALLY  disqualify themselves….

Hint:
If you aren’t aware that is is spelled Muzzle *BRAKE* not BREAK, then I really don’t want to do business with you. Period. Just because spellcheck doesn’t flag it doesn’t mean it is the right word. Really, it tells me that you have zero knowledge of the products you retail…..None at all, or you wouldn’t spell it wrong.

(Although, I can’t find any reason that a .22 caliber rifle needs a muzzle brake anyway, to be honest, but if you choose to buy one, that is your business).

A muzzle brake is a device for redirecting propellant gasses to the rear (or upwards) to reduce felt recoil.(Wikipedia)….We are talking a .22 rimfire (or .17HMR) here. Not too much felt recoil anyway, to be honest. Not like you are shooting on full auto or anything….

Kinda like putting a “Flash Hider” on your 10-22. Flash hider? No need for one no matter how dark you shoot in . (But again, should you choose to waste spend your money on one that is up to you….)

Now both *might* be useful on a pistol, but on a rifle?

And for gods sake. learn to spell it right if you want my business.

I’m open to suggestions from anyone as to specific parts to buy or vendors to use…If they can choose the right word in their descriptions.

But only on even numbered years….

No, I am not talking daffodils, nor Tulips, nor Crocusses (crocci? Croccu? Crocus?)

Anyway, what I am talking about is the proliferation of political signs.

Meh, were it not a choice of the lesser weasel evil, I’d not vote for a one of ’em.

Listen and think:

Waco happened, Ruby Ridge happened… others as well… Partially because we didn’t know, were less well informed due to the Government being able to spin information and because they had a pet news media….Then, the internet was in its infancy….But they happened because we as a nation, and we as patriots, and we as CITIZENS allowed them to happen.

Because we forgot the lesson.

I am proud of those folks who won against the BLM….and somewhat ashamed that I wasn’t there with them..
