When it really happens: SHTF...

[Aragorn243]

The level of frustration is rising steadily here. Not sure if the rest of the world or even those in this country are aware but our Presidential election has still not been decided despite what the media is telling everyone. The evidence of massive issues with the election continue to mount and the lack of any desire by many to make waves is inspiring everyone else to start making them for them. I am concerned something is going to break soon. January 6th will be the next crucial date with the Congress either confirming or denying the election results. Word has been leaked out that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court doesn't want to take these cases because he's afraid of riots. I'd be a little more afraid of an uprising to be honest. People have been arming themselves and hoarding ammunition for 12 years now and they are nearing their breaking point. It isn't the BLM or Antifa either, it's what we call the silent majority. The police have been totally alienated by the left and the military certainly isn't staffed by liberals so it could get very interesting.

There was an attempted takeover of a space near the Oregon capital the other day and of course the Police decided to break this one up as it was not the anarchists. Not a lot of reporting on it so I don't know what's going on out there. Washington state supposedly had a similar thing happen. And these two states are solid liberal states. Perhaps that is why the conservatives are starting to make a stand.

I don't/won't advocate violence - but will pose the question of whether Hancock, Jefferson, Adams, et. al. advocated violence with their signatures on the Declaration? I don't think so.

Gun sales in the US were up 73% this year. 21 million guns were purchased that required FFL checks. Who knows how many transactions were made that did not require a check.

And they don't have December's numbers in it. 11 consecutive months of record background checks.

Didn't even know about it. Been steering clear of actual reality today. I can't see a connection to anything other than someone had a grudge against AT&T but I don't know what is going on in Nashville either. Malcontents or those pushed to the edge would be targeting something government related I would think.

I had/have, not sure, a toy truck that looked just like that RV.

I don't see much happening until the 6th of January, then all bets are off.

Fort Sumter comes to mind as an historical example of an "all bets are off" event.

Today, I decided to try out my new indoor loads.
Wonderful.
They print, at 10 metres, 6 inches lower than my wad cutters at 15 metres.
After a first rounf for trial, I found the right aiming point and had great fun.
Wife and kids soon joined me and we shot a lot.
Very accurate stuff. I’m impressed!
We set up tha “range in the back kitchen shooting into the wintergarten.
Instead of loading with Large Rifle Magnum, I followed the suggestion of my friends from the gun shop and used
Large Pistol. Standard.
Work great!

To me it sounds like another DC shooter scenario . Now that you know what I can do, pay the ransom or I keep doing it. I think Daesh or Al qaeda would have gone for more casualties. I don't see someone doing this over an issue with their cable bill. But you never know. Looking forward to putting 2020 in the shitcan and a better 2021 for all.

I used to do the same during long snowy winters in our east coast. I had a cardboard box full of cardboard sheets and used CB caps. I ended up with a trail of powder across the floor after a bit so I had to sweep it up and burn it outside. Now you have a competitive family hobby...

We shoot the Speer Plastic caps in .38spl and 'Almost' have it figured out when to stop before the smoke alarms go off. Just hard to stop when the competition heats up and we get to laughing so hard.
When warmer I set it up in the backyard. Back in September my 5 year old Grandson tired of the BB and Pellet guns quickly. But loved shooting these out of his Grandma's 5 shot Taurus. He said being louder meant it had more power.

If your wondering I can't pull the batteries, ours are hard wired, battery back up if power is out.

how did I never know such things existed? is it shooting plastic pellets? Ovidio, doesn't look like you need much of a backstop? Please post many details, DIY, and how to for the ignorant.
