Title 42 Houston and the quite War

[Ninurta]

There's a lot going on in Houston.  It's been a cesspool since Katrina.

One of Tucker's things he's doing there is blaming Biden.  Biden's a doddering idiot.  You'd think Tucker would directly address that and then ask, "If Biden lacks the cognizant ability to surreptitiously undermine the US ... who is it that's doing it ... and why?"

He blames the illegal Grints for bringing automatic weapons with them across the border.  That's not really what the dealio is.  I've got all the parts necessary to convert every 'sporting rifle' I own.  I run the semi-auto version for several reasons:
1) it conserves ammo
2) accuracy
3) heat
4) it's hard to carry two rifles at a time
5) my license lapsed


I think the Grints carry full-auto because that's what they've got.  It might take me a second or two to swap out lowers, but it wouldn't be that big of a deal if I just had to run in AR-15 mode.

Criminals don't care if they're caught breaking the law.  Seems to me ... they're the ones who are really experiencing what freedom is. ... ironic as that sounds.

I'm with ya on the full-auto vs. semi -auto question. There is a purpose for full auto, but it's a very specific purpose, and better served with actual LMG's and up. I like punching holes in targets rather than punching holes in air and wasting ammo. It's only criminals and movie stars (is there really a difference these days?) who think that all fire needs to be full auto. Well, them and the folks that worship them.

I get a giggle out of folks who get a thrill down their legs when full auto is mentioned. There's a reason folks in the real world call it "spray and pray".

It can be fun, but not for serious use. I gotta confess, I used to have an AK I could make go rock-and-roll with a bread bag tie. It's an art. Anyhow, every now and then, I'd set it up, go out into the woods, and let a full mag burst rip, just to keep the neighbors guessing, and then I'd set it back to normal and put it up. I don't have it any more, but it was fun while it lasted - and when I could get the ammo for 10 cents a round. Now I pay more than that for .22 LR.

My point is, full-auto is only for specific applications in serious work, and a man with a semi-auto who knows what he's about can take down several full-auto bearing Kriminal Kommandos in a single sitting since they get their gun-savvy and "training" from the movies, and I think their focus on full-auto is just a misdirection from watching too many bank robber movies.
