I don’t think it was a coincidence
Nutty mental case anti gun assholes are on Twitter right now trying to confuse people on the difference between an AR15 and an M4, because it has come out that the Nashville shooter and her mother were anti-gun warriors.
Saying things like
Does putting in a modified trigger group for a better trigger pull in an M-4 make it not an M-4? Also, also, the M-4 IS an AR-15. M-4 is the military designation for a specific build of AR built by Colt. The M4 is not full-auto. That would be the M4A1 and it’s later models.
So I argue: “Wrong. The M-4 is the full auto version, and is by legal definition a machine gun. So is the AK-47. Yes, the platforms look the same, but looks aren’t the same thing. It isn’t just a ‘modified trigger group for a better trigger pull.’ You are either ignorant or dishonest.”
I don’t think that it is a coincidence that the shooting happened when it did, nor that the army of antigun PR folks is so on the spot with everything.
I just get so tired of arguing against the same old, tired bullshit arguments that they have been making for over 30 years, being dishonest because they know most people don’t know any better. I just want to say “No. Your move.”

More About the Nashville Shooting
So an update to the douche canoe that shot up the Nashville school. The transgender, whose pronouns are now was/were, was a student there in 2006. This delusional piece of human shit originally looked at shooting up a different school, but selected the private school as a secondary target because the primary target had security that would have made successfully killing a bunch of kids more difficult. Gun free school zones resulted in death this week, and there is no other way around it.
Nashville Metropolitan Police Chief John Drake said that Hale was “prepared to do more harm than was actually done,” and that she had drawn up plans to attack another school in the area, but backed out of them because the school was too secure.
per the New York Post
The police in this case did a good job, even advancing on the school while under fire. (Take THAT, Uvalde pussies.) Still, the shooter had 14 minutes to shoot and kill people. They claim that the shooter didn’t have any mental problems, but that is false. Delusionally believing that you are a different sex than you are is a delusion, and its a mental problem, even if political correctness has removed it from the DSM.
The assailant was armed with a Kel-Tec SUB2000 carbine (9mm), a Smith and Wesson Shield EZ (9mm), and a Lead Star Arms grunt (5.56mm). Only one of them was legally a rifle, and it fires pistol cartridges. Still, the usual suspects are lining up to demand more gun control, specifically a new AWB. There are even some calling for the banning of all guns. I don’t see any of that happening in my lifetime, short of someone seizing control of the government and outlawing Congress. Both parties get too much in fundraising cash by using this as a wedge issue.
Still, there are many who are pointing out that Congress is debating gun control, and exactly on cue, there is a mentally deranged person shooting up a school. It happens like clockwork.

TN School Shooter is a Tranny
Notice how the press isn’t really spreading that around? Yeah, the shooter is described as a 28 year old female former student named Audrey Hale. I thought that was odd, mostly because the vast majority of school shooters are men, and 28 years old is a bit old for a former student to be holding a grudge. After all, the school only teaches to 6th grade, meaning that this loon wasn’t a student there for at least the past 16 years.
It turns out, not so much. The shooter, according to the Nashville Police Chief, is a man who claims to be a woman: a tranny. (Confirmed with a second source here)
While police initially described the suspect as a 28-year-old white woman, social media profiles under Hale’s name list he/him pronouns. Nashville Police Chief John Drake said at a press conference Monday afternoon that Hale was transgender.
The police also revealed that this shooting was planned for some time, with the date being chosen for some sort of significance as stated in his manifesto (don’t the usually have a manifesto?).
A search of Hale’s home turned up “maps drawn of the school, in detail, so, surveillance, entry points, et cetera,” Drake said. Cops also found a manifesto and “some writings that pertain to this date, the actual incident… of how this was all going to take place.”
They even stereotypically described him as “quiet” and a bit of a loner. I’m sure that he chose the school because it was a soft target. Of course, the left is already dancing in the blood of the victims and demanding that we “do something” meaning, of course, ban guns and is already lining up to say that the shooter’s gender is irrelevant to the shooting.
I say that the fact that the shooter is transgender IS relevant to the facts of the shooting, since we know that 32-50% of transgenders are suicidal. Perhaps its time to add anyone with gender dysphoria to the NICS prohibited database. Now that puts the left in a quandry- they will be forced to choose one or the other- admit that firearms ownership is a civil right for everyone, or that transgenders have mental problems that justify denying firearms ownership.

Stupidity on CW
I missed a couple of days because of work obligations, and it appears as though I was too late to say most of what needed to be said about this video because other blogs beat me to it.
I do, as you would expect, have a couple of thoughts to add that perhaps others haven’t thought of.
This idea comes along all the time from anti-gunners- the idea that a militia armed with AR-15’s can’t fight a government armed with tanks, fighter jets, and nukes. The most obvious retort to this, is that this argument only makes the case that the 2A applies to tanks, jets, nukes, and especially MANPADS, ATGMs, and other heavy weapons. (If you don’t want 2A to apply to nukes, I am sure that you would have no problem getting an Amendment passed to that effect.)
No, the less obvious answer is that a militia isn’t going to be relegated to a confined field of play, as if war was some sort of spectator sport like football. The more likely continuation of the above video is that Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Walker leaves his bunker from a long day of shooting drone launched Hellfire missiles at NRA members like Andy Baker and gets in his car to go home. When he gets there, he discovers his 12 year old son in bed in a pool of his own blood, his throat slashed from ear to ear. Rigor mortis has already set in. His wife and 4 year old daughter are missing. In the girls bed is a note which reads: “If you ever want to see your daughter alive again, the next Hellfire you shoot needs to hit Senator Schumer.”
He refuses, and redoubles his desire to kill the entire membership of the NRA. His daughter’s body is found in a ditch two days later, his wife is never found. In his rage, the distraught Staff Sergeant begins randomly firing Hellfires into right wing neighborhoods, killing dozens of people, some of whom may actually have been gun owners, most were not. The father of one of those killed is the vendor who sells pork to the base mess hall. One day, about a month after the daughter’s death, the Staff Sergeant is eating in the mess hall when he finds his wife’s engagement ring in his pulled pork. Tests confirm that the “pork” is a match to his wife’s DNA. The butcher is never caught and is currently wanted by the FBI, who believes that he has joined the growing underground resistance movement.
Two weeks after the arrest warrant is issued, the FBI is distracted by another case at the Norfolk navy base when 140 sailors die after someone added a deadly bacteria to a shipment of lettuce that was bound for the USS Gerald R. Ford’s mess facility. The entire US military is ordered to begin eating only MRE’s or canned food manufactured more than 6 months ago. Morale plunges with food quality, and the government soon realizes that they have less than 90 days of “safe” food supplies for themselves, even after confiscating all canned goods nationwide. Citizens in large cities begin having food riots as most people can’t get more than 900 calories a day. The food just isn’t there.
Civil wars get ugly. Bosnia. Rwanda. Rhodesia. Kosovo. Even the American Civil War. The US civil war, as a percentage of the US population, was the bloodiest war in American history. In 1860, the US census measured the population at 31.5 million people. Six to ten million were killed and wounded. That means the war killed and wounded 20 to 30 percent of the nation. If a conflict with similar casualty rates were to occur today, we would see about 40 million killed and another 30 million wounded in direct hostilities, and another 60 million dead from disease and famine. With casualty rates like that, societies break down. Medical systems stop working. Famine, disease, and poverty reign.
The secret here is that the government is scared. Every senior government official saw exactly what we saw- nearly 400 cops being held at bay by a single teenaged loser with an AR-15 because they didn’t want to get “clapped.”
Then they realize that the nation has well over 100 million gun owners, many of them veterans, who like to see how fast they can shoot things that are as far as a mile away. For fun. They remember the two losers who shut down all of DC by creating a sniper’s hide in the trunk of a car. How can they trust a police department to protect them when the shooting starts? This scares them, which is why there was a division of troops airlifted into DC in the days following J6.
And before those on the right get too smug, don’t be thinking that the military will automatically refuse orders to kill civilians. History is filled with examples of militaries that gleefully slaughtered their own citizens when ordered to do so.
No, the most likely outcome of a civil war is for some people, and some military units, to take one side in the conflict, and others to take the other. Then there will be those who are nominally on one side while feeding information to the other. It’s the kind of conflict that starts with a few thousand and soon sees everyone choosing sides. Picture a US Civil War, part 2 where a third of the nation is dead or incapacitated within half a decade.
That’s something that is truly frightening to me, and something to be avoided at any cost short of abject despotism. It is also an outcome that seems more likely every day, because there are those on both sides that seem to desire it.

I Need Some Ammo Money
It’s that time of year again- cops begin offering money for unwanted guns. I have an old piece of crap Stevens single shot .22 rifle that I would like to turn in for some ammo money. I just won’t drive all the way to Orlando to get $50, especially not Pine Hills.
Oh, and the article claims a grenade was turned in at a past event. The guy got a good deal, because it was an inert grenade:
I wonder if you could buy a $15 dummy grenade and turn it in for a $50 gift certificate?

11th Circuit
The 11th circuit unanimously says that Florida’s law restricting gun sales to those older than 21 is consistent with the US historical tradition of restrictions. When I get time, I would love to see the rationale behind that.
Keep a couple of things in mind:
- A Republican controlled legislature and governor passed the law saying that 18-20 year olds are second class citizens with no Second Amendment rights.
- In 2018, when the law was passed, Republicans had a 79-41 majority in the Florida House, and a 25-15 majority in the Florida Senate. Rick Scott was the Governor.
- The 11th circuit is made up of 2 Democrat and 1 Republican judges. The decision was unanimous.
Don’t for one second think that the Republicans are your friends.

Safes
Some interesting facts about securing firearms.
[Researchers at Rutgers University] found that 58.3 percent of firearm owners store at least one firearm unlocked and hidden and 17.9 percent store at least one firearm unlocked and unhidden. Among those who store at least one firearm locked, gun safes are the most frequently used type of option both for devices opened by key, PIN code or dial lock (32.4 percent) and biometric devices (15.6 percent).
I don’t have any biometric devices. I frequently have at least one firearm that is not secured in the house, but there are no children in my house, which brings us to the next quote:
First, to address motivation we need to address disproportionate fears regarding the likelihood of armed home invasions. Similarly, we need to help the public better understand the risks associated with having firearms in the home – above and beyond the risk of unauthorized access by children.
Let me guess, this is the point where they trot out the old bull about guns being more likely to be used on a family member than a home invader. The problem with that “fact” is that guns are highly unlikely to be used against you or a family member if you are not a criminal. Gun safes don’t prevent suicide if the owner is the one committing suicide.

OK, Joe.
I don’t know how he will manage it with a split Congress, but here he comes.
President Biden said in a speech on Wednesday that he’s going to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines “come hell or high water.”

From an Away Game
Liberal Moron: The person that owns the gun is responsible for making sure anyone that touches, or buys it, is not a criminal, and can be trusted with it, no excuses. If you supply to criminals, you get a really long time locked up getting to know lots of criminals.
I’m not absolutely for banning guns; yet am very much for making sure guns are only allowed in the hands of fit and proper people that can demonstrate they can be trusted with them. If we can’t have this then sure ban guns, though I have no hope that would ever happen
ME: If a person can’t be trusted to own a gun, they can’t be trusted to own baseball bats, knives, or gasoline and matches. If a person is so large a threat to the public that they can’t own tools that can be used to kill, then they should be locked up like animals.
LM: All those other things exist for purposes other than killing, a gun does not have any other purpose. It is an extra step for someone to take what is for one everyday purpose and turn it to another, that extra step can be enough to make many untrustworthy person to pause and not do this. (I consider knives that are purpose made to be used as weapons to be killing weapons.)
Yet as guns have only one purpose and are owned and carried with the intent of that purpose, then there is already an established decision to use it to kill with. For those that are untrustworthy the pausing and considering has already been done and has been set aside, the decision to kill has already been made, they only thing needed is what or who, to kill and when to kill.
Trustworthy people have not made up their mind about this, that is the first reason why they are trustworthy.
ME: Funny. I have owned multiple guns for decades and I have never used them to kill anyone. I have used them to target shoot, for recreation, and in competition. For the same reason that I can be trusted to own bats, knives, and gasoline, I can be trusted to own firearms.
Still, how about this-
Every person who has not been convicted of anything that would prohibit firearm ownership has an emblem placed on his state ID. drivers license. Say, a picture of a thumbs up in the corner. That way, anyone who wants to sell them a gun can simply look at their license. Now you know they are good to go.
