My Shoulder Is Sore

Mosins kick like a mule. Shooting 180 grain soft points didn't help any. Going to have to sleep on my left side tonight. I may have to change mine's name from "Frankenmosin" to "Pepe, the little mule" I was thinking of a Russian theme to the upcoming paint/camo work, but it may take on a more western/south of the border theme.

They Get a Vote

and they're stil not happy about it. Blame the NRA for everything. I'm pretty sure Climate Change is the NRA's fault.

Indeed, the Manchin-Toomey compromise plays right into the NRA’s hands. It’s an example of what gun-control advocate Dennis Henigan calls the “gun-control Catch-22.” The NRA forces lawmakers to gut a proposed law, leaving it with gaping loopholes. Then, when the law predictably fails to meaningfully reduce gun violence, the NRA cites it as evidence gun control doesn’t work.

Sheesh. Isn't this what politics are all about anyway? If the goal is to defeat the NRA then gun control advocates should build a bigger, better political machine than the NRA.
