Tyrants gonna tyrant

 According to the governor, there are no “mandated” COVID protocols for businesses in Florida. That isn’t stopping tyrant Demings, who is going to “explore his regulatory authority” over businesses who don’t comply with his commands.

DeSantis said his order would stop cities and counties from fining people for not wearing mandated face coverings. He said fines and other penalties imposed so far would be suspended. So Demings is using his “authority” to get businesses into being his enforcers in making individuals wear masks.

Floating target

 Iran announced a new warship that claims to have all sorts of warfighting capability. There is one capability that it is notably lacking- ASW. A submarine could follow this ship for days without being noticed. This ship is some submarine captain’s Navy cross in waiting. Iran is a parody of real military capability. Jesus, that country is run by morons. 

and Joe Biden is going to let them obtain nuclear weapons. They are too stupid to have nukes without using them.

Scary stuff

Take a few minutes to read this entire twitter thread. This thread was not begun by some random NPC. This was started by someone on the DNC. The truly scary thing is that they really think they are doing this for our own good. It seems that every Communist idea always ends with putting people in camps. 

I won’t be put in a camp. I won’t be herded into a boxcar. There are 90 million gun owners in this country. Do not ever allow yourself to be disarmed.

Rifle Project, continued

 So my rifle project continues. A couple of you pointed out that I need to get my handguard at the same time as the barrel, and of course you are correct. After a thorough search, I came up with a few choices. Odin, Faxon, and JP enterprises were all contenders. After looking at what was actually in stock and in keeping with my desire to cut down on weight, I finally bought an Edge Carbon Fiber Handguard from Brigand Arms. Weighing in at only 6.3 ounces, I may have luck in keeping the rifle balanced and low weight. 

I got the rifle length barrel and wanted a full length handguard because I like gripping the rifle near the muzzle. It was tough forking out $400 for a handguard, but I finally just did it. 

Also, it was pointed out that you need to check the headspace on a new barrel/bolt combo. I already own go-no go checkers for that. Now to wait for all of my orders to get here. Hopefully, I can have this thing assembled, tuned, and running before Christmas. 

and yes, Miguel, I was hooked as soon as I picked up Dave’s rifle.

Rifle project

 During the blogshoot, Dave let me shoot his Scout Rifle 2.0. That rifle was lighter, had less felt recoil, and (once the suppressor was removed) swung better than my own DPMS Oracle. Still, I thought that there were some areas of his rifle where I could change to suit my own needs.  It was at this moment that a project was born. 

Ah, but it is VERY hard to get parts to do a project gun. That means that instead of a new rifle, I am starting a (re)build as a search for a better all around rifle. I am looking to change this into a rifle that has the power of a 308, with the ergonomics, recoil, and ability for rapid follow up shots of an AR15. I want a rifle with less recoil, lower weight, better balance, and better shootability than my Oracle currently has. 

So keeping in mind that I am limited by parts availability, I am starting this project. .

I want:

– Less felt recoil

– A rifle that is at least a pound lighter than my Oracle’s 9.2 pounds.  

Since this will be a complete rebuild of my Oracle, I am beginning with the DPMS lower and upper that I already have.  I am changing the 16 inch heavy barrel that came with the Oracle out for an 18 inch Faxon pencil barrel. From JP enterprises, I am adding an adjustable gas block and an LMOS lightweight bolt carrier. So far, that comes to about $630. 

Once that stuff arrives and gets installed, I need to decide on a handguard and compensator.

Then we will see if we can get this rifle to function.

What are we building up to?

 Ohio is under a curfew, prohibiting people from leaving their homes from 10pm to 5 am for the next 21 days. New York City has announced that all schools have closed. Oregon is locking down various businesses, as are cities in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and more. 

Why are we doing this? It can’t really be due to the seriousness of the Kung Flu for children. According to the MSM, we have 1.04 million children who have contracted COVID, but only 113 of them have died. That is a survival rate of  99.98 percent. Even THAT number likely overstates the disease because there are likely more children with COVID who are undiagnosed because their symptoms are so mild that the illness goes undetected. More children drown in bathtubs each year than have died from COVID.

There is a lot of noise being made about 200,000 new cases a day being diagnosed. Even so, less than one percent of cases are fatal. 

So if the lockdowns and dictatorial power grabs aren’t really about COVID, then what are they for? I am not sure, but I feel like whatever it is, it isn’t going to be good. Are we about to see all interstate borders being closed?

Accepting the truth

 Now that elections are rigged in this country. (and there is no other possibility) Pandora’s box is now open. We will never again have another fair and free election. This has been very hard for me to accept, but there it is. It is the inescapable truth that the Republic is no more. This is how liberty dies- with masks, quarantines, and mail in ballots, cheered on by a press that still doesn’t realize the real impact of what it is that they have done. Or maybe they do, and that makes it worse. 

Will this nation be brave enough to fight to regain what was lost? That remains to be seen.

Republicans are gutless cowards

The Republican canvassing board was originally deadlocked on the election results and refused to certify them. Then, two hours later, both of the Republicans on the board flipped and the board unanimously certified the vote. 

Like I have been saying- the Republicans are gutless cowards, and when push comes to shove, they always cave in. Just because the Democrats are your enemy does not mean that the Republicans are your friend. 
Kyle Rittenhouse is more of a man than the entire Republican party. All the Republicans are good at is endless whining and bitching.
