Ammo Shortages Continue

From Peter, China and Russia produce most of the world’s nitrocellulose, which is used to make gunpowder. Since the remaining countries are using it all to supply Ukraine and Israel, there won’t be much left for US civilian use.

As I have been telling you for a few years:

  • Get out of the cities
  • Make sure that you have a large stock of “war shots.” I’m not talking about range ammo and being able to spend recreation time at the range. I am talking about having ammo for self and home defense when the SHTF. Your guess is as good as mine, but I would suggest 1,000 rounds in each caliber for handguns, 250 for each shotgun caliber, and 5,000 for battle rifles.
  • When the supply dries up, range time will have to be cut back.
  • Don’t think that reloading will get you out of this. A gunpowder shortage will be felt everywhere.

Resistance

Texas is telling the Feds and SCOTUS to GFY.

Then, Oklahoma joined them.

Now, so has Florida.

There are those who claim that it isn’t an invasion because the immigrants don’t have any guns. Not so fast, there. If you can have an unarmed insurrection, you can have an unarmed invasion.

Then Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming followed with their own support of Texas. Sixteen states with a combined population of more than 118 million people are pushing back as of the moment I am writing this.

So is this just election year posturing, or is this the beginning of Republicans pushing back? What do you think?

Islamic Invaders

From JKB over at Gunfree zone.

If it is possible for me to do so, I will tag anyone who comes for me and mine. Even if they get me, I will hopefully be found surrounded by spent brass, and the person who did so will be easily identified by travelling to the nearest hospital and looking in the ditches for the guy with the sucking chest wound.

If they should kill my wife and not me, hell will have no fury like that which I will unleash. I won’t care about trials. I will come after any goat fucking Islamist that I see. At that point, they will have taken from me the thing I treasure most. See “The Outlaw Josey Wales” for reference.

Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.

Breakdown of Civilized Society

The complete loss of not only common sense (they admit to eating meat while claiming that the killing of animals is wrong) and the complete loss of civility (an adult allowing his preteen son to call an adult an asshole and tell him to fuck off) is just a bridge too far.

The American people and its society have completely broken down.

Drone Warfare

Take a look at this drone launch. Do you think that you can shoot down this drone while it is moving at 120 miles per hour? Are you that good of a skeet shooter? Are your eyes that good?

Drones are transforming the front lines in Ukraine. If an enemy drone is in the area, you are going to be attacked by that drone, or by the force that it is calling down upon your head. In war, there’s never a safe space. What if the eyes in the sky are unblinking? What happens when the hunters are also the hunted?

The drones are being used to directly attack individuals and vehicles. They are being used as spotters for artillery and airstrikes, or even for reconnaissance. This has caused the war to move into the field of electronic warfare. The people in Ukraine are not only tracking where the drones are, they are tracking where they came from. This way, drones can then be sent to the launch site to attack the enemy drone operators.

Individual troops carry early warning receivers to alert them when drones are nearby. Each side tries to jam the other’s drone using electronic warfare. They use drones to bring explosives to the other side’s jamming equipment.

This is our future. Drones are a force multiplier. For both sides. What makes drones so powerful of a force multiplier is that they are commercially available, and there are tools that will enable private citizens to cause some extreme pain to a much larger foe. Imagine the fear that an infantryman feels when he can’t sleep outside, because he knows that 24/7, even while off duty, there is an eye in the sky that is on the prowl, not only looking to target you, but to find out where you live so that your family can be targeted later.

The coming civil war will be anything but civil. The lesson here is to learn more and more about the future of drone warfare.

It CAN Be Done

To those who think that citizens can’t beat a modern army with only an AR15, I have a two word answer:

Simo Häyhä

He was a farmer who only served the Finnish Army for six months, and saw combat for less than 100 days. Even though he was in for less 4 months, he managed to kill 505 Soviet troops with a Finnish copy of a Mosin, and another 200 with his Suomi submachine gun. This means that he killed more than 7 Russian troops every single day.

The most incredible part is that he did this with iron sights instead of a scope. The Russians feared him so much that they gave him the name “The White Death”. He was shot in the face with an explosive bullet but survived until 2002 before he died at the age of 96.

Keep in mind that this was Finland, who only had a population of 3.5 million at the time.

Now imagine that the US has well over 100 million gun owners. If even one in a hundred thousand gun owners can shoot like this, the entire National Guard would be dead within 60 days.

For What’s Right

I am posting this as a person who is an atheist, but one who believes in most of the virtuous support of family values that are espoused by those who are religious. In the Iowa statehouse, a Satanic church was permitted to place a statue of Satan and an altar celebrating him. We were told that this was done to allow equal access to all religions.

A man by the name of Michael Cassidy knocked down the statue and cut off its head. There are many who are demanding criminal charges. I disagree and fully support Mr. Cassidy.

This protest by Mr Cassidy was no different than protesters who tore down Confederate flags and statues. If those on the left are going to prohibit and protest Christians and their displays (including displays of the Ten Commandments) under the guise of “separation of church and state,” then that would include ALL religions, not just the Christian ones.

Just my 2 cents.

Training Camps

It was reported as far back as 2015 that Isis and Hamas were operating in the area of Mexico that is directly across the border from El Paso. Politifact even repeated the story, but claimed it was false because Judicial Watch refused to name their sources for the story.

Once the attacks on Israel were carried out by Hamas, a reporter with Pro Publica reported that, according to her sources, it was confirmed that Hamas had been operating a training facility in that area.

Newsweek immediately responded by “fact checking” the claim, and declared it to be false. Newsweek had this to say:

Newsweek was unable to find any evidence that Hamas had, or has, a training camp in Matamoros, Mexico. No searches on a variety of terms predating the current conflict returned any results even suggestive of a link between Hamas militants and training camps in Matamoros or elsewhere in Mexico.

That’s odd, since all they had to do was contact Judicial Watch, or read the reports from 2015.

Even so, the Pro Publica reporter who repeated the story last month has been receiving visits from the FBI over the past three weeks, with the agents demanding that she reveal the names of the agents who were her sources. Because the FBI opens investigations and interviews people who spread rumors. The mere fact that the FBI is investigating the leak and not the claim itself speaks volumes as to the veracity of the report. Ms Fields noted the same thing:

“I would never work with them [The FBI]. And I want everyone to think about this. They’re more interested in knowing WHO my source is and not the info they have to share so that it can be investigated.  That says a lot.”

My belief is that, with our porous border, it is a virtual certainty that there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of Islamic terrorists within our borders. To ignore this in light of the dozens of terrorists that carried out the WTC attacks of 1993 and 2001 is foolish. Those two attacks involved only 26 terrorists. How much damage can be done by several hundred or a thousand of them?

Even more frightening is the consideration that the FBI, itself the secret police of the Biden administration, is apparently unconcerned. In fact, the entire Biden administration is allowing it to happen with open borders, even actively assisting those who wish to pour across the border.

Such an attack, or series of attacks, is eventually inevitable. Once that happens, what will be the response of the American people? Of course, they will scream and bleat for a strong, decisive leader to protect them. Will the commies attempting to seize power wait for the inevitable attack, or will they stage it?

The election season is coming, and 2024 promises to be as bad as the one from 2020. I expect more violence and a more diverse set of threats than ever before. You should review your security arrangements.

This is Why

My regulars know that I am not a fan of libertarians. To understand why, read on:

This was my reply:

No, but they did leave you defenseless to face that mob without the most effective tools for defending yourself from that mob. So if you voted for the politicians who passed gun control, you are getting exactly what you voted for.

Like liberals, socialists, anarchists, and communists, the libertarians believe in the theory that everyone is good and will always act with kindness and fairness towards their fellow man, even with a complete absence of government.

In theory, if humans were innately good we wouldn’t need governments, laws or religions to keep people in line. That’s the core of those belief systems.

That is, at best, wishful thinking. To quote agent K from Men in Black:

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

To espouse a political theory that relies on anything else is to engage in magical thinking. One might as well believe in the tooth fairy. People are illogical beings motivated by selfish, basic emotion and will kill you if they believe it will give them whatever it is that they want. As the US collapses, people will become more dangerous, especially if they believe that you are the key to getting whatever it is that they want.
