These are all very good points, but much like the new libre astartes army list book… you could probably just beat somebody to death without even loading it or using it as a gun.

https://www.kxxv.com/hometown/texas/house-dems-endorse-pro-life-candidate-in-heated-south-texas-race

quote:

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Just a day after Democrats forcefully recommitted to protecting abortion rights, a U.S. House leader swooped into Texas on Wednesday to defend and stand side-by-side with Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress.

The small campaign rally in San Antonio, where Cuellar is in the toughest reelection fight of his 17 years in office, put on full display the awkward timing of House leadership showing unwavering support for an abortion opponent as the party simultaneously rages over a leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision from 1973 that legalized abortion.

U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking Democratic leader in the House, rejected that his campaigning for Cuellar undercuts the urgency of the party’s election-year promises to defend the constitutional right to an abortion.

“I would ask anybody, which is more important: to have a pro-life Democrat or an anti-abortion Republican?” Clyburn said. “Because come November, that could very well be the choice in this district.”

[sic]

He must first get past a May 24 primary runoff against Jessica Cisneros, an immigration lawyer who supports abortion rights, and who finished roughly 1,000 votes behind Cuellar in March, when neither candidate met the majority threshold to win outright.

Not only got Hoyer and Pelosi backing it but backing it against a younger local latina immigration attorney.

Oof. Those ammo prices.

I mean, .44 isn't great either, but drat. We'll see.

.454 you have the option of running .45 colt and schofield ammo if you are wanting to get into cowboy calibers. [Or get a S&W -ES style revolver like a 460 xvr snub nose if you can find one at retail or one of the S&W 460's in a "bear emergency " pelican case, you can also run 454 casul plus 460 and a few other rounds with more ammo options in the same revolver] . My bear gun is a S&W model 29-10 but its a little on a long side. I lucked out 2-3 years ago when Walmart got into selling hunting ammo only and they put most other types of ammo onto clearance. I managed to get a shopping cart full of .45 colt for $5 a box even though I don't have a gun to shoot it. Revolver ammo is expensive...

I saw the dumb hub-hub some midwestern movie theatres kicked up over the new Lightyear movie, over a gay couple that's in a movie for like one montage scene...

https://variety.com/2022/film/news/oklahoma-theater-lightyear-gay-kiss-warning-1235301733/

I thought it was dumb that part of the country seems intent on dragging us back to the 1950's... nothing in the film would be offensive unless you would take offense at any of the 60's star trek episodes that brought up a social issue. But after reading the news this morning on Roe vs Wade, man .. here we are getting dragged back 2-3 generations.

Yikes.

I think the deal with Taurus is anything that was using old Smith & Wesson production equipment is okay-ISH…vs that one gun they made that if you banged it against something would fire.

I think it's going to come down to what I can find for a reasonable price, and I've always had a weird love for a Redhawk. I started out looking for a straight replacement to the Rossi .357, Ruger's 8 rounders are a hair cheaper than Smith's offerings (R8, the 686+ is 7). Now that I'm thinking bigger bore, availability is probably going to play heavily into it, and the .44mag/spl is more abundantly available than the .454, and the .480 Ruger might as well not exist considering it's about $4/rd.

Statistically the Ruger and the variety of Smiths are capable of the same thing, but the Redhawk line has some wonderful character.

I don't think we'll be seeing many, if any, more dumps like the dropping of handgun ammo a few years ago that walmart did. That's a wild time that was likely a fluke. I do remember seeing cowboy carts much more available during the covid gun run though.

The 247 was a remarkable piece of poo poo yeah.

I still have SOME faith in my Rossi, but seeing as it was removed from the US market shortly after I bought it, there's understandably little faith left. I think part of the problem is more with the quality of steel they use on occasion.

Not even joking I do not see any other mechanism by which the United States survives the next couple decades as sort of strong federal liberal system. The opposition party is actively preventing political solutions to fix the Supreme Court just dismantling what’s left of the federal government and somewhere around field grade most officers get out or become spineless yes men.

Junior military officers are probably the only single group that is close enough to the levers of power and not captured or neutralized by either a political machine that’s actively trying to further lock in permanent minority rule or is actively chasing “stability” at all costs preventing any political solution that would actually work to address anything.

Realistically the US will probably just slowly Balkanize into a very weak federal system and over decades just start cracking up.

Or the worst outcome it stays strong and just goes full fascist when a competent and actually ideological GOP leader can capture the Trump wing.

Junior officers are mostly young and idealistic and are representative of the college/no college split you see in politics today. While junior officer chuds exist if they post about it on social media they will probably get dogpiled by their peers. On the officer side I heard plenty of jokes at Trump's expense, never anything positive about him.

I wasn't joking about the green and red boxes though, officers have a nearly irresistible urge to make everything on an excel spreadsheet turn green. An untapped and underutilized resource.
