She shoots, she scores!

Sarah Sarah, Biden slayer…

She slaughtered Biden in the debate tonight. Word is she’s going to have him stuffed and mounted and placed beside the fireplace in her cabin in Alaska.

Hehehehe…

Obama’s “Brown Shirts”

It would appear that the Obama campaign has about as much respect for the first amendment as it does the second. They call them “Truth Squads”, I call them something else…something I can’t post on a family oriented blog.

Again from the Rustmeister:

Anti-Gun Obama

h/t to Rustmeister who points out that the Obama campaign is trying to get this add pulled because it exposes their candidates true intentions. He correctly states that everyone should be posting this ad to get the word out. While I’m probably just preaching to the choir here, so to speak, I still view this as a big middle finger to the Obama camp.

So here you go!

As if there were any doubt…

Take that FactCheck! He’s no longer even trying to hide it.

From Barack Obama’s own website:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

McCain Does Something Right

I might just have to reconsider McCain… It’s about time he did something right:

McCain Veep is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin

DENVER — John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

In an announcement, the campaign said that Palin, who has been governor less than two years, “has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of.”

“Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today,” the campaign said.

UPDATE: Obama spokeswoman Adrianne March said, “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Gov. Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies. That’s not the change we need; it’s just more of the same.”

Excuse me? Isn’t that a bit like the pot calling the kettle…erm, black?

Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

Plate Match

Some days you’re the windshield, and some days you’re the bug…

Well, it’s not shooting at Blackwater with Todd Jarrett, but it was fun (mostly) all the same.I will state right up front that the gun performed flawlessly. All errors and misses were entirely my fault.

I did okay mostly, but it seems I’ve developed a bad habit of “losing it” when I shoot against someone else. Seriously, when I’m shooting the plates without being in competition, no sweat, I can do that all day, but put me head to head with someone and my grip falls apart and I rush things when I don’t need to. Below is a video of me doing it right for a change. I’m on the right.

In this video you can see me shooting five plates, four discs and one duck with six shots in about three seconds. Yeah I missed the duck on the first try.

Here’s a shot of the .22lr rack to illustrate what I’m talking about. The two poppers below are for the centerfire, autoloader and revolver divisions only. These are shot at 14 - 15 yards.

Piece of cake, right?

After the competition was over I convinced Jeffersonian to leave the plates up for a few minutes so people could practice. Wouldn’t you know it, I knocked them down repeatedly in five to seven shots; five shots being the norm.

There are at least three things I noticed about myself at the match. The first is my grip. If I concentrate on gripping the pistol in such as way as to leave my trigger finger “floating” I have much better luck hitting the target. Otherwise I find myself with a “death grip” on the gun and my shots tend to go low. I also need to work on not stressing out when shooting against someone else.”Hurry up and take my time” is a mantra I need to take to heart.

And the last thing…

Put a fracking magazine in the gun before shooting in a match! Yes folks, I actually did it, or didn’t do it, depending on your point of view. I don’t know how I managed to do it, I just know that I did it.

I hereby award to myself, the Special Bonehead Award for forgetting to put the magazine in my gun at the match.

Anyway, here’s a cool shot of me qualifying at the match. Notice the gas jets coming out of the compensator, the bolt on it’s way back under pressure and the empty case just clearing the ejection port. You may have to click the image to biggify it for the details.

Thanks to Jeffersonian for an outstanding photo!

As if I needed another reason not to vote for him

From CNN:

Sources: Obama picks Biden as VP nominee

Multiple Democratic sources confirm to CNN that Sen. Barack Obama has selected Sen. Joseph Biden as his vice presidential nominee. A text message with the announcement will be sent to Obama’s supporters sometime Saturday morning. Both men are expected to appear at a rally later that day in Springfield, Illinois.

Another reason I won’t be voting for John McCain

Consider S890, the 2001 bill by John McCain & Joe Lieberman called:

(The) Gun Show Loophole Closing and Gun Law Enforcement Act of 2001

This bill stipulated:

• No Gun Shows without a License, and No Timetable for Licenses to be Issued
• All Attendees Must be Registered
• Even Book and Clothing Vendors Must be Registered, and Individual Book Titles can be Registered
• Limitless Regulations and Registration can be Imposed

The door wide was left wide open for abuse of these sweeping and powerful provisions. But no one would abuse the law, would they? No one would want to shut down gun shows, one of the best means of spreading support for the second amendment, would they?

Now John McCain wants to be our president, and he claims he’s a friend to gun owners.

I call “Bull Shit” on that.

He believe he’s a friend of gun owners like I believe Hillary Clinton & Barack “Sheik” Obama are having a secret, passionate affair.

Now all we’re missing is photo’s of him out duck hunting with a big SEG on his face.
