SC - In order to "stop" a virus - the uncleansed could not travel, recreate, shop, educate or work, yet countless millions crossed the border. It's all about the money and control Mr. Mulder

I tell those who favor gun confiscation to propose a constitutional amendment to overturn A2. Any other approach endangers blacks' and women's right to vote.

That's what I keep saying. There's a way to amend the Constitution, if you care so much about the rules, do it right.

Of course, they know they could never get enough states to jump on board -- just like the electoral college. (Ironically proving why we need the electoral college)

If the US military suddenly reaches it's quota, be alarmed. Be very alarmed.

That 1.5 million illegals since Biden took office is vastly less than the number I heard. Closer to 8 million. I'm not sure what might account for the disparity.

"He, and other gun control advocates, fail to mention that the “bad guys” don’t care about the rules and manage to acquire guns anyway — guns which are then used to slaughter the disarmed. "

I live in the city, and that statement is 100% correct. Shootings happen continually, and approximately NONE of them were with a legally obtained and registered gun.

I frequently joke that I can buy a gun illegally within just a few blocks of my house, but to buy one legally, I would have to get in my car and drive to Walmart, making sure to bring my ID. I tell it as a joke, but it's true. As I say to bleeding heart progressives everywhere, when you succeed in getting all the totally illegal drugs off the street, I'll believe you can get the illegal guns off the street. It doesn't matter how large the magazine is, it matters who's holding the gun.

I want to see the gun that can hold "100 bullets in the chamber"!

Waybe he's confusing magazines, clips, chambers and cylinders? I know I do all the time, for various reasons. Or he was thinking about that Calico gun that can hold 100 bullets? The one that looks almost like a caulking gun with a spare tube on top.

I've always had a soft spot for "ugly" guns. The ones that looks all business, no sleek lines, no high tech, no sci-fi vibes. Like the Sten or the Scorpion - put one of those next to a Steyr AUG. I'm sure the Steyr is technically speaking the better gun, but you can machine the parts for a Sten in any mechanical shop. You can't do carbon composites and whatnots that easy.

Or a fully-functioning Lewis gun... talk about a "boom-stick"!

"The Mitrailleuse"

Though I don't know if any were built with a hundred round capacity.

I suppose some variant of Metal Storm may have managed 100 rounds.

I do like those Calicos, though. I want to do something similar in 10mm. I think making the magazine fit in the buttstock might work well for the ergonomics. Keeps the sight line closer to the barrel axis.

im trying to figure out how to upgrade my charging capacity for my 4595. ten rounds just sucks in a gun that can throw 230 gns at 1600 fos. such a fun, indestructible firearm. i washoping i could buy that flex channel stuff they use with the backpack. maybe take alittle active pressure off to make things move. just thinking.

Seriously profound sh!t in here tonight! (It isn't really sh!t but scarily, truly profound.) I usually try to be at least a little amusing, if only to cheer myself on/up. I almost wish I was too stupid to be aware of the slo-mo face-plant this country is doing. It's the whole world, really. China has its hooks in every thing, not just in the US. I think we're meant to be the crown jewel, but they are pulling everything down and apart. The WEFfers love the CCP. The CCP loves itself. They both hate us. We're fucking screwed.

Come soon, Lord Jesus; take us home soon!

Just ignore the terrorist part of the illegal invasion and consider how the supposed party of Big Labor keeps importing non-union labor to compete for work. And then consider how the Republicans don't demand enforcement of the I-9 right to work status or jail for employers and you'll see the Uniparty screwing Americans.

Want cheaper housing? No illegal aliens, the there will be a lot less competition for housing and costs will drop.

Both parties hate you.

In my previous life I lived in Baltimore. I believe it was the 90s and the government decided to track how guns got around to, criminals, gangs so they got a bunch of gun to track. Here is the kicker the guns made it to the streets but not the way they intended. The gun task force was selling guns to dealers and whatever. These guns if I remember correctly were suppose to be delivered to Mexico.then they would track them from there. It blew up in their face. There were headline about gun task force personnel being arrested and convicted. I know someone who was a lawyer and refused to do any case of his(federal) in Baltimore, said it was too corrupt to try any case there. Murders at one point were one a day. Baltimore is known as the gun and knife club for a reason.

I can tell you how they do it here, exploiting the TIR-system.

The seller sends one of his guys to a truck depo, and deposits the goods in one of the tool/service boxes that's mounted under the truck. He notes which truck it is, license plates and all and reports back. The seller then tracks where that truck is supposed to stop overnight once it's in Sweden.

The seller reports this to the buyer who simply sneaks up to the truck wherever the driver has stopped overnight, and opens the compartment, gets the stuff and slips away quietly. The trucker need not be aware, and TIR-trucks are rarely stopped since the cargo compartment is supposedly inspected and sealed at departure point, making smuggling "impossible".

This has been a know method since the 1970s, but it didn't become a huge problem (a yuge one even) until the borders were opened to the flood of shit from the EU and further south. Before the EU-membership, we had over 2 000 customs agents, including roving patrols who could call on police and in an extreme situation military intelligence and military support.

After we became a province in the EU, customs was reduced to fewer than 200 employees total, because our neoliberal governement at the time bought the US "end of history"-spiel hook, line and sinker (Bush the elder and Slick Willie listened to much to neo-cons and the likes of Fukuyama and in Europe our then up-and-coming crop of political dunderheads just followed the leader).

Loading stuff up on sailing boats is also ridiculously common, since the Coast Guard, the police and the navy are being prevented from co-operating, by today's WEF/EU-puppets in parliament. As is transporting stuff from Russia via Finland by way of snowmobile - the Gulf of Botnia regularly freezes over in winter, and the entire stretch of land between Finland and Sweden (342 miles of arctic forest and tundra) is guarded by fewer than 20 people, and is virtually never patrolled at all.

It's like the lie of freedom of movement and the delusion of free trade is so strong a drug they (the ones in charge) just can't see reality as it is.

That trick wouldn't work here, every driver I know locks those boxes because otherwise everything in them would get stolen!

Expand full comment
Rikard's avatar

Some do, here too. Others leave them unlocked and empty, and keep the gear inside the vehicle instead, to avoid having the box broken into.

I find it highly entertaining that people think just because it says TIR on the truck, no-onepolice or customs agent in Serbia or Turkey or Kurdistan would take a wad of cash to look the other way.

About a year and half ago, swedish police intercepted a weapons smuggler onboard the train between Malmö and Köpenhamn (Copenhagen). An elderly arabic woman, with a couple of submachine guns under her islamic garb, plus assorted ammo. In her purse, a couple of handguns.

Here's the kicker:

In her bra, several old Soviet-era handgrenades. The jokes, they just write themselves these days: "bomber i blusen"; "bombs in the blouse" is a swedish slang-term for big breasts...

The Customs and Border Patrol dashboard has 7.5 million encounters for '21-'23, and only 20k for illegal entry/illegal re-entry over those same three years. A lot of the data there paints a clear picture of an open border.
