Yeah, there's been radio silence here for a bit - sorry about that.  There's been a LOT going on: new job is going well but things move fast there, settling Mom's affairs, fallout from the move.  Life has been busy.

I expect there will be relax time over this weekend, and hope to get more posts out.  In the meantime, to make it up to you, all posts today will be free of charge. 

C.J. Grover, in the Spectator, argues that links to Socialism, outside a few twisted urban enclaves are the kiss of death for democrats, and Biden’s support for the radical democrat party base’s noxious ideas was responsible for a bloodbath producing an “astonishing 17-seat gain for the GOP and the Democrats holding the smallest House majority in two decades.”

Why not use the GOP near-House-Majority to give the dems a bit more rope to hang themselves?

For Democrats to be truly honest, America deserves Speaker AOC. House Republicans should hand her the gavel.

No, not talking about the Lone Ranger – back before that fictional character was nothing but a foil for a comic actor (now blacklisted by Hollywood in another example of arrogance).

Actually I’m talking about a man I saw a few days ago. It is a true story with a moral and a disappointing end – not unexpected but disappointing.

I and my family were at the church meetinghouse about 45 minutes before our worship assembly was scheduled: we were helping prepare and clean and sanitize everything. This man, who has visited before, came in, asking about when class and worship would start, then sat down.

He told me, “I’m wearing a mask because I’m 68 and have diabetes.”

I assured him no one in the congregation would object to him wearing a mask or not shaking hands. It was each person’s choice.

That seemed to agitate him, and he then told me, “I’ve filed a petition with a federal judge to force everyone to wear masks all the time.”

I replied, “It is your right to wear or not wear a mask, but we don’t believe you have...

Samuel Colt disliked the idea of a double action revolver, considering the idea to be wasteful of ammunition and likely to be fragile. However, he passed away in 1862, and by 1873 double action Webley (and other British make) pocket revolvers were starting to become popular in the United States. In order to compete with them, the Colt company decided to introduce its own first double action model. Designed by talented Colt engineer William Mason, the Model 1877 was released in three calibers, .32 (the Rainmaker), .38 (the Lightning), and .41 (the Thunderer). Only a few hundred of the .32 models were made, but the Lightning and Thunderer were quite successful, with 166,849 made between 1877 and 1909. Both calibers were offered as 6-shot guns on identical frames. Barrels could be had form 1.5 inches up to 10 inches, with or without ejectors, and with a variety of fini...

Some consider the B&T APC9 to be the “Swiss watch” of pistol caliber carbines.

My friends are getting frantic. They want to buy guns and they are thinking (in states where this is legal to do) of buying guns for their daughters. There’s a big problem, though. The guns are gone. Ammo is nonexistent. So what should they do? I recommend getting these new shooters started with Walther airsoft pistols.

Not everyone is a fan of the “quintessential” pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. My sister-in-law, whom I referenced during last week’s craft, is the perfect example of this type of person. This Thanksgiving, as she has graciously offered to host us for the holiday since I’m about 400 months pregnant and have a wee girl, I am determined to bring her a dessert that she will love. This layered pumpkin delight from Lil’ Luna surely fills the bill. 

I stumbled across this fabulous recipe 1 early morning when I couldn’t get comfortable enough to sleep (pregnancy problems) and was passing time by browsing Facebook. The Internet Gods must have known that I was hungry and craving a cool dessert, because this gorgeous concoction popped up on my feed. I immediately added the ingredients to my online order for grocery pickup later that day (pandemic solutions), and made the dessert that very evening. Not only is it simple, easy and attractive, this layered dessert ...

Monday, I had occasion to be in my firewall. Looking at the system log, I was a little shocked to see the volume of incoming dropped connection attempts. That image above is roughly 3 minutes worth of log entries.

While working professionally, this volume of drops on my firewall would have been a very slow day. But in a residential environment, it really does cause me to raise that eyebrow.

We've always known the Intertubz was a dangerous place. It has been for many years now. But the threat level is rising constantly. This is an area in your defenses that you need to pay attention to. I suspect I'll be upping my game soon enough.

So of course most of you are used to hearing my fisks in Audio format on the Assorted Calibers Podcast, and the podcast is ideal for taking on audio or video anti-gun propaganda.

But Text fisks are where blogs shine! So with that here is a Fisk of Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown propaganda piece entitled: Debunking Gun Myths at the Dinner Table

The talking points are really so elementary that I can’t help but fisk it. Buckle up!

Myth

Criminals will always find a way to get their hands on a gun.
Fact

Laws like background checks stop gun sales to criminals every day. Since 1994, these laws have blocked more than 3.5 million gun sales to people who could not legally own guns.

So first up I wrote a whole post talking about what nonsense the Brady bill and its background checks are. While that number of denials happen, a good number of them are appealed, and virtually none of t...

I'd imagine the morons thought "So what if the officers don't like it, what are they going to do, quit?  What?  They QUIT?"
I'd imagine they're going to have fun finding people to replace them.  Especially with the campus communists already breaking the office windows and such.

This is not “playing” people. It is war. They are trying to kill us politically, and we need to respond accordingly, to fight fire with fire. [More]

The way such things always work out is that undesirables are killed not just politically, but literally, and in great numbers. I'm trying to think of a historical instance where that was stopped with words.

It could never happen here, right?

Some of us have been calling them "racists, liars, character assassins and aspiring totalitarians," Mr. Horowitz. It's not enough. Patriotic Americans will need to summon the courage to do a lot more than that, and they need their "pundits" presenting themselves as plain speakers to speak plainly.

An observation by Mr. Henry seems appropriate here.

 Local hangout Moe & Johnny's has been shuttered, hopefully temporarily.

During the summer, they'd converted the parking lot into awning-covered outdoor dining, but that deprived them of all their parking spaces, and parking there was fraught as it is, with a tiny lot and limited spaces.

I got lunch there a few times over the summer, dining on the patio, and business was noticeably slower. Of course, the coffee house business in the morning and the lunch crowd were always ancillary to the big evening crowds, especially during sporting events, and 2020 has just hammered that business model flat.

I've been making a point of supporting the local joints...I mean, I always have anyway, but I've been making an extra point of late.

 Just checking the price of silver and gold this morning, both are still high but down from peaks in August. Silver had kissed $30/oz and gold flickered briefly over $2k/oz, and both had spent the bulk of the election season in a plateau. 

At $1,812/oz for gold and $23/oz for silver at the time I type this, they're both down to levels they hadn't seen since July. (Which is still high, mind you.)

They generally make a good proxy barometer for measuring how wigged-out people are over stuff in general.

The vehicle was steered using the rear wheels and the car was not powered by an engine turning the wheels, but by a giant propeller powered by an 8 bhp (6.0 kW) Scorpion engine. The entire body of the vehicle was made of plywood, and weighed just 250 kg (550 lb), which made it dangerously fast.

In 1927, A Hélica reached the speed of 106 mph (171 km...

On May 20, 1826 the United States Congress formally presented Model 1819 Hall rifles with personalized silver plaques to the 20 members of Aikin’s Volunteers, for their “Gallantry at the Siege of Plattsburg”. The Volunteers were a group of 20 boys, aged 14-17, from the Plattsburg Academy who joined up under 21-year-old Martin Aikin to help in the Defense of Platssburg during the British Invasion in 1814. The boys acted as valuable scouts in the days leading up to the battle, and on the main day of fighting they manned positions at a mill on the Saranac River, preventing British troops from crossing under rifle fire. The American General Macomb commended the boys’ contribution to the battle, and promised each a rifle as a token. Of thanks. It would take Congress 14 years to fulfill that promise, but they finally did in 1826, with the only rifles ever presented to civilia...

In case you did not know, Redfield is basically the cheapest Leupold scopes now.  Very nice but not quite as fancy.

What if, I could invent a bullet, and it'd be the same size as the 7.62x51 we use now, but instead of effective range of 800 yards, it would have an effective range of two miles, for the average skilled user?

That would be a game changer as soon as we were able to see that far.  

But that's the game changer of the Minie Ball, which came out just before the Civil War.  An order of magnitude better than the standard spherical ball.    

I first learned about these in Civil War History, in college, of course, and it's stayed with me ever since.  Able to be loosely packed in a rifled barrel, the looseness defeated fouling from residue.  But it could still be muzzle loaded as quickly as a non-rifled musket patch/ball.  The cupped base made the round expand on firing pressures, to engage the la...

“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, ‘just men who will rule in the fear of God.’ The preservation of [our] government depends on the faithful discharge of this Duty; if the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues …

COLUMBIA, Mo., November 18, 2020 — Lockdown® is thrilled to announce that the new state-of-the-art Puck product has been chosen by ‘Guns & Ammo’ magazine as an award winner. The Puck has been declared “2020 Gun Tech of the Year” by the renowned magazine, whose award team initially received the product and tested it for themselves on their gun safes. Upon realizing how versatile the device was, the magazine’s staff used the product on everything from safes to doors and quickly deemed the smart device a winner.

There are multiple factors contributing to the shortage of primers. I had previously heard or assumed most of them in the following post. But the Remington component to “The Great Primer Shortage of 2020.” was new to me.

From Powder Valley, Why Is There a Primer Supply Shortage?

Demand, however, is just one part of the story. Disruptions in the supply chain have also made a big impact on the availability of primers. When it comes to ammunition supplies, bullets are easy to manufacture, brass can be re-used, and powder is generally stockpiled by companies (though perhaps not the kind you’re looking for). This leaves primers, which are relatively difficult to make, as the component that causes the bulk of ammo shortages.

In the U.S., only four companies (Winchester, Remington, Federal, and CCI) manufacture primers for civilian use, law enforcement, and the military. Even under perfect circumstances, there’s only so much they can produce at once, and needless to say, circumstances have not been perfect during the pandemic. People getting sick, missing work to take ...

 So, CA Gov Newsom and family are quarantining.  They are blaming either a California Highway Patrolman who is part of their security detail or a classmate of one of their kids at a private school (that was open for in-person learning, by the by--they are now closing down for two weeks despite the fact that they are saying that school is the safest place to be).  

Regardless, if any of them, especially Newsom come up with a positive test, I'm sure that the rabid contact tracers will not lead back to the French Laundry....

 According to Hot Air, there is a House race in Iowa that is down to single digits in the vote counting.

The closest House election in the country is even closer now. I wrote about this race earlier this month. Iowa Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks led Democrat Rita Hart on election night by fewer than 300 votes. Then an election auditor discovered that Jasper County had counted a block of 406 votes for Miller-Meeks twice. Subtracting those double-counted votes put Hart in the lead. But then another county discovered it had failed to report 271 votes for Miller-Meeks, putting her back in the lead but only by 47 votes. Now a recount has tightened the race to single digits.

Currently, six votes by the last count.

I remember a judgeship in a small rural parish in Louisiana, back in the late '80s or early '90s.  The sitting judge had died and they held an election to find a replacement.   The vote came out a dead-tie.  Both candidates became plaintiffs and started suing everyone in sight.  Because ...

Press release here. Very clumsy, these people. The standard is to give to the sheriff's re-election fund, then discover that that somehow means you are a reliable person with a sufficient personal need to carry a firearm.

Let’s be clear – guns like the SIG MCX, GLOCKs, the H&K SP5 and AR-15’s are all awesome. Everyone interested in personal protection, shooting sports or just collecting should have some combination of a modern pistol and a semiautomatic rifle and have the training to use them with proficiency. But when we are discussing the […]

November 23 is the Feast Day of Blessed Miguel Pro. Born on January 13, 1891, in Guadalupe, Mexico, Miguel Pro was ordained a Jesuit priest in Belgium in 1925. He returned to his home country in 1926, in the midst of that country's Cristeros War. After being falsely accused of an attempted bombing, Father Pro was executed by government forces without trial. 

Blessed Miguel Pro's final request was to be allowed to pray to his heavenly Father.

After which he refused a blindfold and faced the firing squad bravely, proclaiming ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

11/21/20 Press Release Statement from Wauwatosa Mayor Dennis R. McBride:

Yesterday, eight people were shot at Mayfair Mall. Fortunately, all eight have survived and are believed to be recovering. Mayfair Mall is secure but is closed today....

Guns have no place in shopping malls or other places in which crowds of people gather. Mayfair has a strict no-gun policy. If the shooter had complied with that policy, no one would have been hurt yesterday.

They obviously need a "no mass shootings" policy as well.

 The family was talking yesterday at lunch, and of course, politics came into the conversation, and I made the statement that either Sidney Powell was about to unload the biggest crime ever perpetrated on electoral politics, or she was barking batshit crazy.  I didn't see any other options to what I was seeing in the news.

At some point shortly thereafter, the conversation turned to firearms oddities, like the Chiappa Rhino and the Charter Arms Explorer pistol.  

We're watching a political drama play out, probably unlike anything I've seen in my lifetime.  The 2000 election was close, but I believe that this drama exceeds the "hanging-chad" drama because that one focused on bureaucratic incompetence, while this one seems to hinge on allegations of criminality.

In 1949, North Korea began production of a domestic copy of the Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun. Designated the M49, it used a blend of Russian and Chinese characteristics, but was mechanically identical to the standard model, distinguishable only by its markings and its slightly oval-shaped stock profile. 

Production began in a factory located in Pyongyang, which was briefly captured by Allied forces in late 1950. Upon retaking the city, the Korean government moved production to a safer location farther north, where the guns continued to be made until 1955.

 A year after Shootin' Buddy gifted it to me, I gave a glowing endorsement to the Maxpedition Fliegerduffel.

I just realized this morning that post was a decade ago. I've used this bag for eleven years now, in car trunks for road trips, a couple times as a carry-on on plane flights, and I don't know how many dozens of times it's been used as checked baggage in an airliner cargo hold.

No fraying, no unraveling, no popped seams... The only thing that's gone wrong was I accidentally untied one of the 550 cord loops on one of the zipper pulls and keep forgetting to replace it.

Since 2014, the blowout kit I got from Ambulance Driver's Shooter Self Care class at NRAAM* a blowout kit has been attached to the MOLLE webbing on the outside of the bag, and it's survived all that travel intact, too.

On this most recent trip, it even managed to get squoze into the teeny overhead bin on a CRJ200, and those things are tiny.
