Red Flagged

I know this happened a couple of months ago, but I just learned of it. A man in Stuart, Florida was attending the town’s Christmas parade when police noticed he was wearing what turned out to be Level IV body armor. He was detained and it turned out he was also carrying a dagger and a pistol.

Local residents freaked out, saying that he must have been up to no good, since he was carrying those items and was in the same general area as a sitting congressman.

The cops held him for hours before releasing him without charges. That doesn’t matter to the cops, they kept his vest, knife, and gun, and are going to use a risk protection order to strip him of his rights. Keep in mind, he wasn’t breaking any laws.

This is why I have been, and remain, opposed to so-called “red flag” laws.

I Understand

San Francisco schools are closed today because their teachers are on strike. The largest part of their demand is access to the same healthcare benefits enjoyed by their illegal immigrant students.

The district announced that schools would be closed Tuesday and urged parents to check the district website “for learning, food, childcare, and district support resources.

Fully half of all San Francisco students are illegals, or the anchor babies of illegal immigrant parents. Illegal immigrant households get free healthcare. I understand why teachers feel that it is unfair that they have to pay healthcare costs when their students don’t. You know what?

I also don’t care.

The teachers voted for this. Elections have consequences.

Lies and Misrepresentations

I have seen a meme on social media, something about “Arguing with a leftist largely consists of them deliberately pretending to not understand something that is obvious, and then arguing against that misstated position.” What you are describing is a logical fallacy called a strawman argument. We see it everywhere. I don’t think its entirely ignorance, I think in many cases the leftist you are arguing with knows they are being disingenuous, but they are hoping others are too stupid to know it.

A leftist blog complains about a gun dealer who has lost his FFL, stopped selling actual firearms, and pivots to selling parts and accessories for firearms. One of the major misstatements is this:

The M16 bolt carrier group is the part worth flagging. It’s legal to own and common in semi-auto builds. But it’s also a prerequisite for converting an AR-15 to full-automatic because the geometry of a standard AR-15 carrier won’t work with an auto sear. 

Of course, they fail to mention that there are several parts required to convert an AR15 into full auto, and the full auto BCG is only one of them. The one the ATF has chosen to define as the key component of converting an AR15 to a machine gun is the auto sear. If an FA BCG is legal to own, then why wouldn’t the store be able to sell them?

The blog article then meanders off topic into the non sequitur of COVID death rates in the same county where the gun dealer is located:

People there apparently were so anti-life, they maintained the highest death rate from COVID-19 compared to any other county in the nation: One death out of every 132 people.

before pivoting into yet another accusation that this is because they are all racist there because something racist once happened there:

Speaking of heavily armed white supremacists being anti-life, Mann today still lives in an area known for the 1989 naming of “noose road“, near a sundown town of many lynchings. It was said in Hays, Kansas that “Blacks were not allowed to stay overnight”, keeping alive a Jim Crow “legacy that kind of hung over the town going back to the lynching.”

Then goes on to babble about another unrelated meandering:

On the same day Custombilt filed for bankruptcy, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against distribution of 3D-printable ghost gun files and machine gun conversion devices. One state is suing over digital blueprints. Another is goosing a revoked dealer to liquidate physical machine gun components from a bankruptcy warehouse into unknown “noose” hands, no questions asked.

Showing that the left doesn’t REALLY support the First Amendment, or they would realize publishing plans is protected speech. Still, that last quote is about as coherent as Joe Biden rambling about Corn Pop and children braiding his leg hair. (That’s how you use a non sequitur for maximum effect.)

Buy Some More Ammo

Watch this video, then buy more ammo.

She says that ICE is going to stage an attack to justify martial law, so leftists need to get “Second Amendment thingamajigs” to fight back. I thought it was impossible to fight the government without F-35s and nukes…

My hat is off to Donald Trump, who has gotten the left to admit that they aren’t opposed to people owning guns, they are opposed to people who disagree with their opinions owning guns, thus demonstrating that gun control is about control, not guns.

This Is Bad

Freedom loving Americans are getting their asses kicked by the Communists. I’ve been warning my readers for nearly 6 years of the coordination, the funding, and the training being displayed by the left. Their C3 and intel is equal to a professional army.

What does the right have? A bunch of uncoordinated people with guns. I just dont think that’s enough. The right needs to get all of its shit in one sock, or they are gonna get rolled.

Another One

When someone says you are their enemy and they want you dead, or when they say once they gain power they will torture and kill you, you should believe them.

Keep preparing. I just ordered the parts to build my newest home defense gun. It’s an AR in 300 Blackout with an 8 inch barrel, an EOTech holographic sight, and a Dead Air Sandman suppressor. The parts will get here next week.

Fifth Generation

The point of warfare is to force an enemy to capitulate, to force them into taking actions that you want them to take. Before there was modern warfare, battles were not as organized as one would think, being essentially a large bar fight. The came tactics where combatants would stand in organized groups that allowed them to maximize the power of there weapons. Formations like the phalanx, lines, and ranks were some of the earliest modern ways of fighting. This was First Generation warfare.

The Second Generation of warfare came about with the invention of gunpowder weapons like the musket. The basic tactics of this style of fighting were refined, using breech loading cannons, indirect fire, and even machine guns.

That all changed with the advent of mechanized warfare. Speed, shock, and even aerial bombardment meant that all of the Second Generation types of warfare obsolete. This Third Generation warfare played out in World War 2 and the First Gulf War.

Then came the advent of Fourth Generation warfare. This was necessitated because governments and large armies became quite adept at destroying any combatants they could see. Weaker nations responded by blurring the line between military versus civilian. This is how the Second Gulf war and Afghanistan were fought. Mix combatants in with non-combatants, and the enemy either fails to engage your forces, or they mistakenly engage civilians- either way results in a win for your side.

Now we have Fifth Generation: it’s fought virtually. It is a war of information, computers, and artificial intelligence. I think that the people who came up with this concept overlooked the utility of drones. The idea of 5GW is your combatants don’t need to risk death in order to commit to battle. That’s where we are in the US today- and the left is far better at it than the right. That’s really what cancel culture is: this is the left engaging in destroying the right’s will to fight by using means other than actual violent fighting.

It’s becoming quite effective. DJT just gave in and capitulated. The battle for Minneapolis was just lost. We are one step closer to a complete collapse.

Still, some are fighting the good fight. Read on:
