She starts to (try to) suppress him, thinks better of it and suppresses her own self…
And Z is right, suppression is ideally a double deuce operation…22’s among their many attributes, are perfectly suited for it, and with the right feed, just about the perfect load for just about everything.
Not a fan of NFA permission slips for a safety accessory though, when will that particular idiocy end under Trump’s new ATF regime?
President Trump can try all he wants, but unfortunately Congress has to amend that law. Unless we elect 10 additional pro-gun Senators in 2026 I don’t see it happening.
Nope, Congress no longer has to amend that law. They already set the tax to zero. The moment they did that, they made the registration and licensing law unconstitutional — a fact that one or more of the “ricebowl gun organizations” is suing to establish for the record.

What Henry said. Since the NFA has always been interpreted as a Tax act, once the tax on them drops to $0 on 01/01/26, they no longer qualify for inclusion as a NFA item.
IMHO the best strategy would be to invite him for supper and ask him what his intentions are. (That came out wrong.) Ask him about the “rumors” Zed has heard.
Blood is using Mari as a way to coerce land from Zed to build a “muslim community” adjoining the ranch. That’s reason enough to not even let him near the house, much less to the dinner table.
While there might be some tears along the way, when she finally realizes that her dad is doing things to protect the ranch’s future, in addition to her own, she will have an even clearer picture of what a father’s devotion looks and acts like.
Nostradamus (1503-1566) predicted an Islamic invasion of the West in this century, back in the mid 16th century.
Between then and now, “rational” historians scoffed at the idea, saying that the Muslim world simply did not have the military power to carry out an invasion.
Where they made their mistake was not realizing that in Nostradamus’ time, an “invasion” was a very different sort of thing than what we developed in the 20th Century.
In his time, invasions were generally simply mass movements of people who moved in on a country or kingdom, sat down, and refused to leave. They didn’t have tanks or guns or battleships; they didn’t need them. Their most powerful weapon was their simple existence.
To paraphrase James H. Cobb, their Fearless Leaders simply buried their enemies under a whole bunch of people who didn’t like their enemies, and might not even like their Fearless Leaders.
The invasions the West faces now are right out of the 14th and 15th centuries in terms of Islamist strategy and methodology. And they rely on Western reluctance to use force against “immigrants” on one side, and post-modern Western leaders’ dreams of using those immigrants to guarantee themselves Absolute Power Forever (votes, votes, votes!) on the other.
Islam has a history of betting on the stupidity and cupidity of Western leaders. And for the last fourteen centuries, it has worked reasonably well for them.
It seems to be working again.

…What Eon said…when I see Dearborn,Mi , Houston YOUGE Mosque , NYC Zoltar Mayer-Elect.
I guess Rockettes in burkas and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree chopped up and firewooded on the Skating pond for burka burka BBQ.?
I’m pretty sure the Islamic leaders count on the stupidity of the masses in total.
Why that works for them was explained by PT Barnum in conjunction with Eon’s rule about people adopting philosophies that accept the behaviors they are inclined towards anyway. (Poor paraphrase I’m sure.)
The Biblical view from Jesus is considerably different, it doesn’t change the nature of man, but can change man’s nature. I doubt we’d have “Western culture“ (AKA Successful civilization) without it.
Nope, you got it right, stamp them right into the ground so the land is soaked in pig blood and the carcasses litter the landscape above and under the soil to be dug up every time someone tries to build a mosque there and making the ground permanently ‘defiled’ to them. It’s a win-win, you get rid of some feral hogs and some feral jihadis at the same time.

A dinner invitation is appropriate. Not to embarrass, simply to clear the air and set expectations. If Blood doesn’t come clean, he’s done. If Mari is still horny as a TCU frog, gig him…away from the ranch.
.22LR’s have a very quiet report but most are still supersonic and suppressors don’t help with that ‘crack’ unless they bleed off enough gas to slow the bullet down enough. A .22 short or long might be good for very short ranges though it’s still just a .22 and a low powered one at that, well aimed headshots would have a 95%+ chance but a subsonic.32 or 9mm would be better in thst regard but a little noisier. It’s always a tradeoff. A Welrod or the British De Lisle carbine might be the best choice 🙂
A folding stock 10-22, with a full length suppressor, with subsonic LRs on board. Mag size is dealer’s choice, but the action function is louder than the report!

Talk about suppression…

I’m starting to file that under “unkept promises”.

First of the year, supposedly…
What Henry said. With the tax going to zero, the requirement to register suppressors makes as much sense as registering grips, laser sights or scopes.
Not soon enough for me……..how’boutchu??

Good paraphrase, actually. Ultimately, it’s all about people feeling good about themselves, even if what they’re doing should horrify them.
Or as Sutekh might say “Your ‘evil’ is ‘their’ good“.

Excellent DR WHO reference!
Texans should round up a huge herd of feral pigs and stamped them thru the moslim site. Repeat as necessary.
Stampede, dang it!

A .22 CB cap fired in a 16″-18″ barreled rifle has less sound signature than the average spring-piston air rifle.
Its small powder charge is consumed in the first 6″-8″ of barrel. The bullet is actually decelerating slightly in the last 4″ near the muzzle.
It’s subsonic, and has almost no flash due to the powder burn being finished before the bullet exits the muzzle.
No sound suppressor required, and yes, the bullet still retains enough velocity and energy to be effective out to 15 meters or so.
Very handy for…pest control.

Between the Sig Mosquito .22 and the Beretta .22LR…Choices?
Short (or shortened) 10/22. Not for toting like your choices there but perfect for everything else.
A-180, may as well go whole hog 😉
A folding stock 10-22, with a full length suppressor, with subsonic LRs on board. Mag size is dealer’s choice, but the action function is louder than the report!
And Ruger sells one… thinking of after the first of the year….
Do I see a YHM sponsership of DxD?
