In Honor of Boobquake

Boobquake ...

And a video

Big or small they're all wonderful.

Generally speaking though I think factory parts are better than aftermarket bolt-ons for most applications. Sure, sometimes the factory will roll out a few sets of lemons, or some infants will abuse them to the point of needing a total restoration. The problem is that aftermarket
builds can seldom match the beauty of a pristine factory example.

Oh Look, Shiny!

Some nice West German Nickel P220's for sale.

Anyone want to buy me a present?

The Violent, Intolerant Left

While watching my local news last night I saw that the NJ teachers union and several NJ teachers have levied all manner of personal attacks towards Republican Governor Chris Christie. Prior to that the Union called for Gov. Christie's death. Funny, I didn't see that plastered all over MSNBC and ABC News 24/7 as an example of seditious, left-wing hate fanned by the evil left-wing media.

They've done so on their personal facebook pages by the way, which is monumentally stupid. I have personal experience with that. Luckily people stupid enough to threaten physical harm against myself or my family members via facebook make it that much easier for the State to prosecute them.

Why the intolerance, slanderous accusations and threats? Because Christie is calling for funding cuts. Boo hoo! We're in a recession, the States are hemorrhaging money and the union is butthurt because they might not get as big a raise as they're demanding. That is un-fucking-believable, especially given that Christie ran on a platform of drastically cutting spending. Why act shocked and appalled when he actually does so?

Meanwhile, the liberal media is in a nationwide tizzy over the Tea Party movement. They will stop at nothing to discredit concerned citizens and peaceful protesters as violent, bigoted, ignorant racists. It doesn't matter what reality is. This is what the left does. They simply cannot act like civil adults when the dissent is aimed at them. They have no cogent, intelligent response to the message, so they attack the messengers in the most despicable and petulant ways possible, hoping such action will sufficiently smear those who don't walk in mindless lockstep with utopian leftist ideals.

I should also point out that this is the kind of behavior I'd expect from adolescent teenagers, not the adult teachers of those students. In fact when I 1st saw the report I thought they were talking about kids making threats & nasty messages through Facebook. Instead it's liberal adults who don't know how to behave like proper adults.

Just think, these are the people who are teaching our kids. What shining examples they are for young minds!

If I engaged in this kind of behavior I'd get my ass canned. Apparently NJ teachers think they're special and such behavior is acceptable. Of course why wouldn't they think just that, since their own union is the lead bully in this case.

Quote of the Day - Penis Envy

"I find it disturbing that hoplophobes seem to be fascinated with gunowner genitalia, and are constantly fantasizing about the size and condition of said organs."

-Bob G., commenting over at Bob S.

I've lost count of the number of times some anti-gun person has found a way to bring my dick or the collective dicks of gun owners into a discussion. Hell, I've even had these folks go so far as to challenge me to a dick measuring contest, as bizarre and outright disturbing as that is. (I'd advise against clicking the links, they exist only because I believe in backing up claims with proof)

In my experience it's used by the left in very much the same way "racism" is. Accusations of racism and bringing the genatalia of the other side into the discussion is the functional equivalent of saying "I'm a child who has nothing intelligent to say."

Also, I'm really fed up with the media portrayal of Tea Partiers, but that's another post entirely.

Update -

Weer'd brings the funny

"just imagine, somewhere in the world this morning the anti-gun bigots are getting up and talking about other men's penises."

Got A .32 Gun In My Pocket For Fun

Turns out I did have one picture in my Iphone. Not great but It'll do for now.

2010 BAG Day Purchase. I managed to actually pick it up last night, so timing was perfect.

By the way, this thing has a horrid trigger pull. Any suggestions on which size CTC grips to buy?

... Got a cap gun in my pocket for fun.

Behold my 2010 BAG day purchase. 8 shots too!

Quote of The Day - Freedom

"Personally, I pray that placing the safety and freedom of society in the hands of individuals does make collective action more difficult. Collective action breeds injustice and the suffocation of individual rights. "

Sabra - In comments to this post

Placing the safety & freedom of society in the hands of individuals in order to make collective action more difficult is one of the most basic tenets of American society. It's the very basis upon which this country was founded. If individual freedom bothers people so much there are plenty of places they can live where collective action tramples even their most basic individual freedoms.

I've got nuthin'

So I meant to throw up a few blog posts this weekend but the weather was way too good.

My pup and I had a blast out hiking, swimming & chasing ducks. He is a lab after all.

Of course he just turned 8 last month and doesn't look like this anymore.... He's grayed and chubby now, but still a pup at heart.



I did get made while carrying. When you're getting hugged and you've got a P229 IWB that'll happen. Those that knew didn't make a big deal about it, and I know I'd rather be armed.

Stevens to Retire?

Justice Stevens is retiring. Good. He's pretty solidly against us with regards to the 2nd Amendment. His dissent in Heller was an abomination, full of glaring inconsistencies and factual errors.

I hope he enjoys many more years of happy retirement, but I can't say I'll miss having him on the bench.

For Alan

I couldn't help but think of Alan when I saw this.....

Quote of The Day - We Never Learn

"I think they've made the biggest financial mess that any government's ever made in this country for a very long time, and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they're now trying to control everything by other means. They're progressively reducing the choice available to ordinary people."

Margaret Thatcher - 1976

Nationalization? check.
Increasing government control over everyday life? check
Progressively reducing individual choice? Check.
Running out of other people's money? Check

Oh, and the government is going to cut costs and increase efficiency? Spending trillions in order to save money? Yeah, sure, pull my other leg.

Remember folks, the government said in the 60's that Medicare would cost an estimated $12 billion by 1990. The reality? By 1990 medicare would cost $107 billion, or nearly 9 times the original estimate.

All we have to do is look at history. Anyone who tells you this is going to end up saving America money is woefully ignorant of history.

Also, go read Bonnie's health care post. Cutting out the bureacratic middlemen equates to lower prices. Imagine that. Oh, and liberals being absolute assholes? Color me shocked!

Bravo Rob!

Best April Fools joke ever! Rob is the co-founder and site administrator of Delaware Open Carry. The thread went over a page before people stopped and said "wait, it's April 1st."

Even More Sigs!

Dan's Ammo (one of my favorite places) has surplus Sig P228's for sale.

More Zurich Surplus Sigs

Top Gun Supply just got a shipment of Swiss police surplus Sig P-226's in today.

My lowest-grade Zurich P228 from them had tons of holster wear, but very little internal wear. I suspect these will be much the same.

BAG Day

Jay reminds us that it's only two weeks away.

Sadly that also means I still need to do my taxes.....

I'm still working on my BAG day purchase. All I'll say for now is that it's not a Sig.
