Random Politics & Religion #30

Watched it yesterday, didn't really see much of any political nonsense being pushed. Just a typical fantasy swords and sorcery movie with "space magic". Lots of nostalgia put into it as a kind of love letter to the Empire Strikes Back.

What's that, P&R? You wanna hear what I think of the Taurus Judge and S&W Governor? Okay then!

Personally, I think they suck. Why? Well, if you need to ask why, you've obviously never fire a regular birdshot shell through a rifled slug barrel. Admittedly, neither have I but I've seen it done and know that the rifling spins the shot and causes the spinning wadding to open with a spin, lowering effective range.

This means that if you buy a Judge or Governor (the gun, not the elected official) to take out small predators trying to get your chickens or deflower your daughter, your shot will scatter in a wider pattern and possibly cause collateral damage. Many ammo combo packs come with .45 Colt home defense and .410 bore slugs.

This gun also gave rise to people who think "Oh, it's a .410, it'll fire .45 Colt!" No, that's not necessarily true.

In conclusion; the Judge/Governor can easily be outclassed in every use by something else.

That one of those .22 pistols? I want one of those.

Random politics & religon & guns...


About as random a gun as you will find.

Webley-Fosbery .455 Webley "Auto-Revolver" made in the UK.

...don't ask.

My Ruger Mark II

The reverse side

You want to scare your neighbors there is no question this will do it:

The sound of the M60 is sure to trigger PTSD.

All this gun talk is getting me all.... triggered

I'd strap a M60 to my back walk into Starbucks maybe the would speed up the damn service then.

It had a major supporting role in Zardoz.

Chanti you were an actor in the talkies?

I acted in my youth, made it to off Broadway.

Best I ever did in the movies was extra.

lol now I want to watch this movie and see if i can find you

They don't credit extras.

It fires 22. longs

.22 Long and .22 Long Rifle are two different rounds, we used to have an old Colt rifle that would only shoot Longs because the Long Rifle bullets are longer.

the rifle bullets have a fat end toward the primer cap dont they?
I included the bullets in the first picture, one copper and other lead

Left to right: .22 Long, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum

.22 Long has a stubby bullet.

I could use a gun right about now and some Jack Daniels.

The first 2 look identical to me...

Other than the copper/lead*

Something seems fraudulent here.

I could see you at a Christmas party ruining everyone's time with this net neutrality ***. Hey Merry Christmas let's talk about the FCC.

I hate other people, why would I go to any party, let alone a Christmas party?

also...where the hell do you store your ammo girlboy? scattered across a gravel driveway?

At least 2 million of the comments were filed with stolen identities. The NY AG's office has a searchable list of known stolen identities and is investigating.

Any of us might be on it.
