Weapons Man

Ever have anybody try to bite your face off? No, seriously, bite your whole jeezly face off. Kenny McSwain has, and he didn’t much care for it.

We usually try to have something in here that reaches a wide audience, but this week we’re narrowcasting to our fellow Retro AR enthusiasts. In recent years, the once-rich supply of surplus M16A1 and early CAR-15 variant barrels has evaporated, largely thanks to the ATF’s beyond-the-letter-of-the-law ban on reimported surplus barrels.

Welcome to Part II of this somewhat open-ended series. In Part I, we introduced you to the history of Castillo de san Marcos in Saint Augustine, Florida. This well-preserved Spanish fort, begun in the late 17th Century, is a rare sight in the Continental United States.

Meet Kiersten Cerveny, MD, America’s Junior Miss, 1994, and now stone cold and in her grave after being picked up by a TV producer and his entourage and getting dropped off curbside by the same, half-naked and all-dead, as the legitimately employed started their work day. Meanwhile, her recreational-pharmaceutical Romeo, after fleeing the scene with his criminal buddy, has manfully lawyered up.

They don’t make up a third of the 10 Most Wanted Violent Crimes list, as we said in our report on the imminent release of swarms of gun-toting drug dealers. We regret the error.

Right now, the most popular, versatile, and “best” small arms system in the world is unquestionably the Stoner AR-10/15 system. It has the edge on everything else for soldier-readiness, ergonomics, modularity, accuracy, reliability, and, if operated within its envelope, durability. It has been proven by fifty-plus years of military service and tens of millions of guns produced.

You might want to book some time at the range: up to tens of thousands of violent drug dealers are about to be released, thanks to a “sentencing reform” dope deal cut between the Democratic dopes and the Republican dopes in that dismal dope den of delinquency, the United States Senate.

If you read Commander Salamander’s recent post on Syria, and the related post from the week before, you will know more about what’s happening in that country — and what’s likely to happen next — than anybody actually in a senior position in the political national-security establishment these days. They could have had the data, but they’re so mired in wishful thinking and determination to shape what they’re reporting to what the NCA wants to hear that they’ve lost their tenuous connection to reality on the ground.

Here’s one act of vandalism that is destined not to be investigated:

It happens. Just ask Daniel Allen Jr. — when he gets out of hospital. And jail. He was running from the cops when, kabango, he took a bullet in — depending on which report you want to believe — the “lower body.” Or the “groin.” Wherever it was, he lost interest in running, and threw himself on the mercy of the cops.

It starts the same way: with agency managers fantasizing about taking down a big criminal drug trafficking organization, and imagining the personal benefits that such a triumph would bring. And it ends the same way: with dead people, lawyered up managers, questions that don’t get answered, and — as ever in today’s Deep State — no one held accountable.

Ladies, this is not how to react to a spider in your car. The woman in question bailed out of the moving car and abandoned her kid, who survived the spider only to be injured by the crash that totaled the car and severely damaged a (fortunately childless) school bus.

The authorization for the Department of Defense (NDAA FY 2016) includes the statutory language changes needed so that the Army may begin transferring the approximately 100,000 surplus M1911A1 pistols in its warehouses to the Civilian Marksmanship Program for sale to CMP member/customers. However, the bill must be signed by the President to become law, and it has many provisions (including this one) that he finds unpalatable. He has threatened to veto the bill, and it is unlikely that any of his fellow Democrats would help override his veto.

Arrgggghhh… behind again. In any event, our morning posts may be a bit late this week as we catch up on some back stuff and get morning PT back onto the schedule. NO going into the office first, going to the exercise room first. Round is a shape, but it shouldn’t be if one is SF.

Behind, behind, behind. This is the third straight TW3 to fail to go up on time; indeed, the previous two (and their week’s movie reviews) didn’t launch at all, which makes us feel a little better, because at least we got you a Saturday Matinee before the weekend was out.
