Silence In Court

The good folks at ammunitiontogo.com sent me a link to their article on silencers (suppressors, moderators, what have you).

If you don’t know much on the topic (I didn’t, until recently), it’s a good one.

Favorite stat: of the ~1.5 million suppressors extant in the U.S., Texas accounts for well over 260,000 (plus one more when I get my act together).

Mr. Free Market has one of these moderated sweetie-pies (because while guns are hated by the elites in Britishland, amazingly, “moderators” are not only allowed, but encouraged  in their use — he has five or six, as I recall).

S&W M&P 15-22. Want.

Thanks to Reader Dave S. for the link.

Quote Of The Day

Part II from The Diplomad:

“As I noted a long time ago, [Lefties] change the meanings of words, so that the most basic units of thought and expression no longer mean what we once thought they did.  We can’t even use good old-fashion pronouns.  As per Orwell, they rewrite the dictionary, they make us hesitate when we think and speak, we must not give “offense” or reveal ourselves as “racist, homophobic, misogynistic” throw backs to a dark era.  They use fake bought and paid for “science” to convince us to give up our standard of living, to question whether labels such as “male” and “female” have any meaning.  They tear down flags, statues, and monuments; they want place names changed to erase our history.  They deliberately blur the distinction between citizen and non-citizen, between legal and illegal residents in our country.  They want open borders;  they, in sum, want a destruction of this country, and of Western civilization.”

Yeah, well that only works on the pussies.  I don’t think twice about “causing offence” before I write or say anything — and if I do, 90% of the time I say it anyway precisely because it does  cause offence.

And yeah:  their long game is the destruction of Western civilization.  ‘Twas ever thus, since Marx.

Which reminds me:  I need to buy some more ammo.

Buycott

As stated earlier, I’ll be moving today, and you know how much stuff you need when you move in, right?  Then we have this situation:

Home Depot Co-Founder Bernie Marcus told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in a recent interview that he plans to donate a part of his fortune, which has a net worth of $5.9 billion according to Forbes, to Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. He said that although Trump “sucks” at communicating he should be given credit for boosting jobs in America and taking strong stances against China, Iran, and North Korea.
Following the article’s publication in late June, some shoppers at the home improvement supply giant expressed outrage over the 90-year-old’s decision and vowed to boycott the store. The hashtag #BoycottHomeDepot also started to emerge on social media.

But as author and political commentator Dan Bongino‏ notes:

“Liberal boycotts are a joke, just like liberals. The best thing for your business is a liberal boycott. Your sales will explode after lunatic libs announce their ‘boycott’. Just ask Chick-fil-A.”

So guess where I’ll be getting all my household hardware needs for the next week or two… and there’s a branch just a few blocks away.

Oops

Everybody told them that it was a monumentally-stupid idea;  but noooooo:

Restaurants Unlimited, a Seattle-based chain with restaurant locations in 47 US cities, announced on Sunday it was seeking Chapter 11 protection, citing “progressive” wage laws.
The company, which has operated since the Lyndon Johnson Administration, said rising labor costs—part of a national trend of government-mandated minimum increases—were part of its decision.

Note the 47 cities affected by these closures (see link).

I would feel more sorry for the soon-to-be-laid-off workers, but I’m betting that most of them supported the higher-minimum-wage idiocy in the first place, so… sucks to be them.  Maybe next time they’ll vote with their brains instead of with their greed.  (Granted, working-class people have trouble making ends meet in liberal shitholes like Seattle and San Francisco;  but the politicians who have caused the high housing prices are the same ones who pushed through the higher minimum-wage thresholds.  So there’s a double whammy here, and yet those idiot voters keep sending them back into office.)

Of course, it’ll be all Trump’s fault (according to the West Coast media).
