NRA Releases Blistering Attack Ad Against... the Washington Post
More people are getting it that this is not business-as-usual any longer; the left is heartbroke and crazed over having lost an election they thought they'd fixed, and they don't intend to lose another one. Ever. It's good that people are starting to understand this isn't politics any longer; this is about whether democracy will even be allowed to continue.“Your paper’s new slogan may read Democracy Dies in Darkness. It should say Journalism Dies at the @washingtonpost” @stinchfield1776. #NRA pic.twitter.com/BmolBOQuX7

I'm all for attacking the media relentlessly, I still can't believe it took Donald Trump before the Right figured out that the media was always the #1 enemy and we needed to bludgeon them.
Instead we kept thinking we needed the perfect Reagan that never made a silly gaffe or had anything unseemly in their past and got chummy with these bastards.
I will say though I would like to see a Trump Presidency that was a little more interested in racking up some legislative victories.

First you win the argument, then you win the votes - I think Thatcher said this. She was, as always, very prescient.

And really, it has to be coming from Bezos.
The WP was always liberal, but it was a sort of respectable institution. Now its like the Huffington Post.
And Bezos seemed to have libertarianish instincts.
I'd love Trump to go after Amazon on antitrust issues. Same with Google and the rest of the Silicon Valley oligarchs that are attempting a coup nearly every day.

It is actually very sad to see what has happened to the Washington Post and New York Times in particular. CNN didn't really have that far to fall but these institutions really used to be respectable sources of hard-hitting, quality investigation and reporting. They always had their leftward tilt but up to 2005 were pretty straight on and would hit both sides. In the last decade, they've really gone off the rails and in particular this year specifically have deliberately gone crazy.
I mean, both papers specifically had editorials stating that they were officially abandoning all semblance of journalistic standards to destroy Donald Trump.

I was never a big 2nd amendment guy but the more I see the more I think that the 2nd amendment is a good litmus test of how seriously someone, particularly a politician, takes personal liberty.
Incidentally, I'm embarrassed to admit that after the all these years someone finally taught me the right way to rack the slide on a semi-automatic pistol. I was a pinch the slide between thumb and index knuckle guy. In my defense I say only that I've seen it done that way many times on TV and in the movies, most recently by Omar Epps on Shooter.

I gave up on the Republican party after the disastrous 2015 omnibus bill
where the loser minority party got everything they wanted.
Actually,
it really started before that, when they tried to foist another
moderate Bush onto us. I was so sickened at the prospect of the GOPe
once again putting their lackey on top that I stopped following politics
for months. It literally made my stomach churn just thinking about it,
and so I just tuned it all out. It wasn't until Trump came along that I
started paying attention again, and only for the spectacle of him
ruining the GOPe's perfect plans.
And then Trump started
fighting back against these assholes tooth and nail. He said and
defended common sense things like securing our borders and killing bad
trade. He fought back against the msm smears, and never once gave in to
their criticisms. When they tried all of their usual tactics to silence
us, Trump just stuck his middle finger in the air and said 'Fuck You'.
And damn did that feel good, to have someone fighting for US for a change.
It was Trump, and ONLY Trump, that brought me back.
My
point to all this is this; If these GOPe mother fuckers think I'm going
to vote for them as they resist our president, then they will be in for
quite a shock in 2018. I will stick with Trump, so long as he continues
to try and implement his agenda. But if GOP can't implement what we
elected them to do, then I WILL NOT place my faith in these assholes
again.
Even if that means sitting home in 2018. IMO, it no
longer makes any difference which letter is next to the name anymore. At
least the dems have the decency to attack me from the front, instead of
behind my back.
where the loser minority party got everything they wanted.

it really started before that, when they tried to foist another
moderate Bush onto us. I was so sickened at the prospect of the GOPe
once again putting their lackey on top that I stopped following politics
for months. It literally made my stomach churn just thinking about it,
and so I just tuned it all out. It wasn't until Trump came along that I
started paying attention again, and only for the spectacle of him
ruining the GOPe's perfect plans.
And then Trump started
fighting back against these assholes tooth and nail. He said and
defended common sense things like securing our borders and killing bad
trade. He fought back against the msm smears, and never once gave in to
their criticisms. When they tried all of their usual tactics to silence
us, Trump just stuck his middle finger in the air and said 'Fuck You'.
And damn did that feel good, to have someone fighting for US for a change.
It was Trump, and ONLY Trump, that brought me back.
My
point to all this is this; If these GOPe mother fuckers think I'm going
to vote for them as they resist our president, then they will be in for
quite a shock in 2018. I will stick with Trump, so long as he continues
to try and implement his agenda. But if GOP can't implement what we
elected them to do, then I WILL NOT place my faith in these assholes
again.
Even if that means sitting home in 2018. IMO, it no
longer makes any difference which letter is next to the name anymore. At
least the dems have the decency to attack me from the front, instead of
behind my back.

Heck, the media's use of John McCain as a tool to bash the Bush Administration, then discarding McCain when he was no longer of use to that, should have been a wake up call to all of us.

This is decent stuff and good strategy- attack the mechanism, not just the argument. For too long the media has been able to play disinterested bystanders while pushing a chosen narrative. They are partisans who will not wear a uniform, and should be treated as such.

The hate in the comments is right up there with "Kill them all! They're strangers bringing plague!"
Someone the other day said they had been in the Balkans and elsewhere and we were not anywhere close. Yeah, well, I've been in plenty of places where there are soldiers everywhere in and out of uniform with automatic weapons and you keep your head down and your mouth shut.
You get to that point when one group of citizens decides another group is a danger and is disposable. That's what I've been hearing for about 25 years. "Can't happen here" is for people that didn't listen to about 75% of Obama's speeches. His supporters are still about half the country.

38 The federal government subsidizes Amazon's delivery costs, that needs to stop.
Well, sorta. They make shipping packages cheaper than it costs, in an attempt to help the post office survive, and Amazon benefits more than most from this policy. They aren't specifically being given delivery subsidies.
Amend the Constitution to eliminate Article I, Section 8, Clause 7. Fully privatize the post office.

I was a wee little kid during Nixon and not paying attention during the Reagan years so it may simply be business as usual but I have been shocked at how the FNM is doing their damnedest to try to crumble our duly elected president. Well shocked is not quite the right word. I was shocked in 2008-2009 when I realized that the FNM was such a cohesive group that they were able to quash all stories that reflected negatively on their god king Baracka.
Now I know how corrupt the FNM is, but I am still "seriously?, you think it is a good idea to spin this web of lies to try to undo the will of 60 million Americans who are largely the producers of this country? and are by and large the group that takes advantage of the 2nd amendment?"

This is a perfect example of how the United States is based on total hypocrisy. Americans constantly lie to themselves and the world about how much they love success. The reality is that nothing fills an American with more rage than success.
For instance, Walmart. Americans had no problem with Walmart until they became the #1 retailer. Now Walmart is America's #1 problem and enemy.
Mr. Bezos better keep in mind that for all the reasons outlined above, that America's long knives are coming for HIM. In the United States, WE DO NOT TOLERATE SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT. (You can argue with me all you want about how that isn't true, but if it isn't, ask yourself how we have the political class that we have. Among other indicators.) Amazon will soon become a TARGET and America WILL DESTROY IT.

Makes me think of John Wayne cocking his rifle with the big loop trigger guard one-handed. Coolness over functionality (although to be fair, the first film he did it in, one arm was shot and helpless).

IIRC, Amazon had losses all through the 1990s and early 2000s, but people kept investing and driving the stock up because with that much volume and growth they were convinced sooner or later it would be very profitable?
Posted by: Curmudgeon

Yes, and that's fine, but whats concerning is a strategy of basically making no money and using that advantage to put everyone else under so only one company owns all e-commerce. And so far its working.
Look, if Bezos wants to just be a successful businessman, all the best. If these oligarchs want to own our culture and politics, fuck you, this is war and I won't fall on my own sword

Regarding my 9mm CCW...
The Walther PPS M2 is schweet.
Never owned nor desired a Glock. Might rethink this.
Already have a SW. I like to "spread the wealth around." IFYKWIM

Curmudgeon does have a great point. Once the Nazi party had the majority in the Reichstag, it wasn't a big leap until Hitler outlawed first the Communist party then the Social Democrat party. Coincidentally, Stalin forbade the German Communist party from doing anything to help the Social Democrats because the weren't sufficiently communist enough.

"I need a CCW 9mm. Already have .38 SW revolver, .380 LCP, .45 XPS."
The biggest factor is size. Smaller guns are harder to control but easier to conceal. If you want smaller, the LC9s prois great...Small, decent capacity, low price and good stock trigger.
Glock, XD, M&P all have good options in the next couple sizes up in the polymer, striker fired department.
CZ has a traditional, steel RAMI which is nice but heavy. They have other "carry" models which are longer (P 01, PCR).
Kahr is ok, but I don't like the long, double action only trigger.

I don't for a minute believe the government is subsidizing Amazon delivery costs. If the USPS didn't have the volume of traffic that Amazon creates we'd all be paying another dime for a first class stamp.

The taxpayer subsidizes the mail service. The USPS is largely a government funded junk mail delivery service. It operates at a loss and those losses keep piling up. It is illegal for any delivery service besides the USPS to deliver to a mailbox.
This is a minor issue, but companies that use the US mail for their business are getting a really huge subsidy.

Officer Matthew Harrity, who was in the driving seat, was speaking to Damond after she called 911 to report a sexual assault occurring near her home, when his partner reached across him and fatally shot her in the abdomen."

Short answer is 'friction' ramming the ball into the muzzle should create a good seal to keep ball and powder in.
Long answer is...sometimes the ball falls out. Which happened to some fairly famous folks, some of whom died shortly afterwards.

The ball was tucked into wadding, usually cloth, and jammed into the barrel, typically wouldn't fall out.

"The partner of a Minneapolis cop who shot dead bride-to-be Justine Damond was 'stunned' when the officer opened fire through a squad car door, sources say.
Officer Matthew Harrity, who was in the driving seat, was speaking to Damond after she called 911 to report a sexual assault occurring near her home, when his partner reached across him and fatally shot her in the abdomen."
There goes my accidental discharge theory and, people, we're not in Kansas any more.

OK this what I found. I was only partially right and Vic (who was there at the time recovering from PTSD suffered during Roman Empire vs African war) was right:
The Weimar democracy proved unable to cope with national despair as unemployment doubled from three million to six million, or one in three, by 1932. The existing "Great Coalition" government, a combination of left-wing and conservative parties, collapsed while arguing about the rising cost of unemployment benefits.
Reich president Paul von Hindenburg's advisers persuaded him to invoke the constitution's emergency presidential powers. These powers allowed the president to restore law and order in a crisis. Hindenburg created a new government, made up of a chancellor and cabinet ministers, to rule by emergency decrees instead of by laws passed by the Reichstag. So began the demise of the Weimar democracy.
Heinrich Brüning was the first chancellor under the new presidential system. He was unable to unify the government, and in September 1930, there were new elections. The Nazi Party won an important victory, capturing 18.3% of the vote to make it the second largest party in the Reichstag.

Hindenburg's term as president was ending in the spring of 1932. At age 84, he was reluctant to run again, but knew that if he didn't, Hitler would win. Hindenburg won the election, but Hitler received 37% of the vote.
Germany's government remained on the brink of collapse. The SA brownshirts, about 400,000 strong, were a part of daily street violence. The economy was still in crisis. In the election of July 1932, the Nazi Party won 37% of the Reichstag seats, thanks to a massive propaganda campaign. For the next six months, the most powerful German leaders were embroiled in a series of desperate political maneuverings. Ultimately, these major players severely underestimated Hitler's political abilities.
The Brüning Government, 1930–32
Chancellor Brüning ruled alongside President Hindenburg, using the emergency powers of Article 48.
This government did not suceed in solving the problems, and Brüning wasn’t popular. Von Schleicher, a general in the army, managed to persuade President Hindenburg to get rid of Brüning. He resigned in May 1932.
The Von Papen Government
Von Papen, at the time a member of the Centre Party, became Chancellor. He only had 68 supporters in the Reichstag. He hoped to win more support in the 1932 election, but he was disappointed. The largest party in the Reichstag was the Nazi party. Hitler wanted to be appointed Chancellor.
Hindenburg supported Von Papen. The Reichstag decided to hold a vote to decide whether or not they would also support Von Papen as Chancellor. He won 32 votes – but 513 had voted against him.
In March 1932 Hitler stood against Hindenburg as President of Germany. He gained 13.4 million votes but Hindenburg won with 19.3 million.
Von Papen organised another election in November. The support for Von Papen in this election was even less.
The Von Schleicher Government
He was Chancellor for two months. Hindenburg had no choice, and on 30 January 1933, he appointed Hitler as Chancellor.

In CT you are required to pass a multi week NRA gun safety course to get a hunting license. It was one of the finest courses, and I learned a ton about wildlife.
CT hoped this would discourage hunting and gun ownership, but the reality is that the regs have created lifetime NRA members.

So powder, then wadding, then ball and the wadding made it snug enough for the ball to stay in the barrel until it was fired?
Usually, but like Mark Andrew Edwards notes: not always. It wasn't a very perfect system. In a pinch soldiers used to skip the wadding and hammer the butt of the rifle on the ground to tap the ball in place, it was faster, although you got less power and accuracy. Most of the time muskets were used at such short range against such large targets of massed men it didn't really matter.

It was called a patch. Powder goes in, then the ball is placed over the patch, and when the ball was rammed in the patch would fold up along the sides of the ball.

Short answer is 'friction' ramming the ball into the muzzle should create a good seal to keep ball and powder in.
Long answer is...sometimes the ball falls out. Which happened to some fairly famous folks, some of whom died shortly afterwards.
==============
Linen patch around the ball, usually lubed, then ball and patch rammed down the barrel. The friction between the patch and barrel made for a good seal and a secure bullet.

Actually, it was VERY much like that. The KPD had been running riot ever since the late 1920s (after it recovered from the Freikorps sorting them out in 1919), breaking up other parties' meetings, murdering opponents, etc. The NSDAP established the SA originally to protect their meetings, and then to battle the the KPD. The NSDAP picked up a lot of support for this, because they were seen as the only party that could stand up to the Communists.
The constant street battles, assassinations, etc. by BOTH sides sickened the population, who pretty much wanted to stop, and of the two, the Nazis seemed like the lesser evil. Bear in mind that the Bolsheviks had seized power less than 20 years earlier, and the Germans were well aware of the Red reign of terror that had obtained ever since. (NB, in 1933 the USSR was in the middle of the Holodomor, which the Germans well knew.)
The German electorate was faced with lousy choices: the Reds, the Nazis, or a coalition of weak sauce parties that couldn't control the country.

If that's the case, then it's all already lost. Democracy was never part of the plan for the United States. It is instead, in no small part, how the plan was undone.
