Get the popcorn.....

In German,but you'll get the jist of it pretty quick.Using hazel rods about thumb thick and as straight as possible,some extra thick elastic bands or some old bike inner tube,as I doubt we have easily obtainable DIY canning seals here,and a bit of string to adjust the position of the rifle in the cradle.

This thing is so cheaply and easily made you could build a few and stash them at good stands,or just abandon them around your let to save you carrying them all the time to and from home.

I see we now have the pox doctors clerk as Taoiseach, from a party that would burn down the dail for the insurance money if they thought they'd get away with it. God help us, but a country has never been so ill served by the rubbish that governs them.

Well the Watermelons have gone and eaten their shotgun on this .They signed up for more of same with a bunch of old nasty crooks to get their nonsense across the line.The leftie sites are going spastic about this move,and they will be consigned to the dustbin of failed Irish parties like Labour in the next election which I predict within 12 months.
Curley,Larry and Moe might be pretending that they have a one big happy family,but their parties hate each other and everyone else with a passion.So how long that will hold to gether is anyones guess.

A big bump in the road later this year with Brexit, its going to hit us like a Flak 88, and i don't see the eu bailing us out again. Yup, thats when the plop will hit the fan.

The Greens will also be used by FF, as an excuse to hike taxes, especially on fuel and leccy.

P.S P.S, I see the premiership will rotate back to the other tulip - verruca after 2 years. No mandate for that, he barely scraped back in on the fifth recount at the election.

To be fair that remains to be seen. However I don't hold much hope! Politicians, are they a cross section of society or does the job draw a narcissistic type? Most people wouldn't go into a job that required them to win a popularity contest (election) every couple of years. The tenets of democracy are up against it's own method of selection.

If you want to have case studies of Sociopaths and Psychopaths for a masters or a degree in psychology.Politicans are a very rich field to study for those two traits.There is an incrediblely large amount of those kind of people in politics globally.And going by some top head shrinkers we have a grand crop of them in Irish politics.

Oh yeah, I saw this earlier today. The two are taking a load of flak on Twitter and on leftie “news” sites for no apparent reason. The BLM protestors broke into a gated community and threatened to burn down peoples houses, honestly what are some people thinking when they demonize two upstanding citizens practicing their 2nd amendment rights and protecting their property. Nobody was hurt in this incident, if you could even call it an incident but these not very reputable sources are having a field day calling for the 2nd amendment to be repealed which is ironic since they’re all so anti cop now. Ah well, facts never stopped the anti gun lobby before and it certainly won’t stop them now.

Their house looked very nice from the outside. Well worth protecting.

Grizzly 45

The inside is even nicer going by the pics of some articles.Makes Versailles look shabby.
What pees me off is that the pro 2a people are giving out about the missuses appaling trigger disipline and choice of firearm,lack of body armour,blah,blah,blah! Fek it ..They did what was important,they stood their ground and deterred a situation and protected their property,despite lack of training,gun saftey,etc.
Thats not to say that their isnt a whole lot of room for them to improve their skillset,and having to gaurd a large lump like that,they will need it.

Grizzly 45

There are a couple of things you DO NOT Fk with, or about ,or at ,in the USA.
1]The tomb of the unknown soilder and Arlington cemetery
2]The original constitution and decleration at the national archive
3] The Alamo.
Especially the last one. They are mighty senesitive about that one in Texas,and are prepared to defend that one again with arms if need be.As BLM and ANTIFA found out to their cost in the last few days.When they ran up against armed, ex vets and law enforcement backing up San AntonioPD

Can you imagine if that happened here ? The collective meltdown that would have occured within the "political classes". "Ah shure it was only a house, shure if it was burnt to the ground, it was insured", "The protesters gave those people a hidin', but shure thats what hospitals are for".

Untill it happened to one of the political classes.Then you would see Irelands lassiez faire,but in a way nice and easily approachable politicans go completely ape demanding EU style security on their houses,cars and fammlies with 24/7/365 armed protection.Which would be tragic,because despite whatever we say about them, they are easily contacted and approachable.

I amazed and baffled some German busisnessmen and visitors once by introducing them to the then,minister of defence Willie O Dea in a pub in Limerick over a pint.Thy couldnt get over the fact they had met a govt minister of such important a position in a pub with little or bo security or hassle around him. It would be virtually impossible to meet any German Govt minister in such a setting without the entire thing being security vetted weeks in advance and run and everyone frisked and discomfited. So that is still somthing we should try and keep here in Ireland.

It was nice, but I don't think that's relevant.
Whether it's a 5 bedroom mansion, or a 1 bed bungalow. It's their private property.

Texans have a reputation for being a bit crazy (in a wild kinda way), and plenty of them conceal carry. Why anyone would trying that **** is Texas is beyond me. Just asking for it.

ANNDDD THIS IS WHY such comparisons on IRL VS US gun ownership are ridicilous and should be dismissed out of hand.

Did most people in the States that wanted a gun not have one? Is it all the anti gun people tooling up? It's not like one can shoot two at once, although I do fancy myself with a pair of Steyr TMPs:pac:

Quite a lot of previously anti-gun people in America have been buying guns for personal and home defence. The election coming up, the kung-flu, all this blm, violent protests and "autonomous zones" (latest one in New York i hear) crap, have changed their minds.

These people will probably not become gun enthusiasts, but once they have crossed the line and own a gun, then its difficult to be anti again.

Yeah, they set up the thing because they did not want police brutalising people, and it ends up with him handing out AR15's to idiots to guard the place, lets call them.......i dunno, police ? They had people being stopped and searched, people being beaten up, vandalism, extortion from businesses, thefts, rapes, two murders :rolleyes:.

So what they were protesting against, they did themselves, only far worse, a bit like the Russian revolution......in miniature.

Im sure you have by heard of the rich middle aged couple who held off a BLM mob that invaded their private roadway by breaking down a gate and threatned harm to them and their property in St Louis?.Thet weree armed with an AR15 and a Jennings 32 cal pistol .No shots fired,just the presence of those two guns were enoughfor the rabble to go and vandalise somewhere else.

Meet the Mc Clowskys of St Louis. Although Mrs Mac Clowsky COULD really do with some firearms saftey training 101 about keeping your snot hook off the Pew switch,until you want to go Pew!:D:D
Guess what these two do for a living?TThey are Liberal public defence attorneys, who support BLM andwho picked up their guns a few weeks ago when they felt they needed them with the COVID epidemic.
There is a meme storm of these two in action all over the net

And BTW

Your gun control arguements are now 100% totally invalid.
