The People's Cube - Political Satire

And it's not the wild fires, Comrades. Oh no.

Yesterday, two days before the glorious new Colorado gun laws take effect, capitalist and terrorist company Magpul gave away 1500 free AR-15 30-round magazines at Infinity Park in Glendale Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

Magpul is one of several hated gun or sporting related companies who are leaving or who have already left Colorado since the state passed reasonable and commonsense gun laws, which take effect on July 1, 2013.

The fact that this evil company is allowed to exist at all, even having left Colorado, is terrifying, comrades.

Something must be done. Where are Joe Biden and Mayor Bloomberg when we need them??

Good Lenin! Can someone explain to the People™ why our drones are studying herds of flatulent cows presumably destroying the ozone layer and causing global warming climate change, while the RETHUGGLIKKANS are driving black helicopters full of weaponries?


Anybody?

Comrades- this moving out of a state when your business has been determined to be Politically Incorrect must be stopped!

Our flunky plants in the US Supreme Court can fix this IMMEDIATELY, just like they fixed other stuff last week.

Freedom of movement under United States law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." As far back as the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), the Supreme Court recognized freedom of movement as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."[1] However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).[2][3]

Comrade Scratchanitch (May I call you Scratch?), you probably already know this, but Magpul didn't leave Colorado because they were considered politically incorrect - they left because they refused to support a state with their company's tax dollars which ignores the Constitution of the United States to the detriment of their citizens.

For more about Magpul, I highly recommend their Facebook page.

And by the way, this 1500 magazine last minute giveaway was kind of the grand finale to their Boulder Airlift program, wherein they sold special editions of their famous 30-round PMAG magazines to people who live in Colorado.

In short, Magpul is seriously a Class Act, and an excellent example to other firearms companies as to how an American company should act.

Yes comrade ROCK, you may call me "Scratch". I should note that the lack of class is the state of Colorado, possibly exceeding the class of the state of Orygun in the race to the bottom top.

A long time ago, as a dedicated bench rest shooter, I yearned to go to Colorado with my 22-250 with 1/4 MOA and pop a few thousands of those wonderful self-erecting targets otherwise known as ground hogs.

I checked that off my "wanna do" list quite some time ago.

Tsar Stupef!

When one has the freedom of movement between Pinsk and Minsk does the Tree of Liberty cast a greater shade at the destination? Or if one moves from Haight Ashbury to Portlandia?

The point being if the People's National Assembly reigns Supreme a state border will become nothing more than an excuse to sell advertising plates.

Should I be nervous?

Not to worry. I had to let my weapons go 14 years ago due to mental illness in the family, which ~somehow~ I got blamed for too.

Perhaps I can relieve some of that envy by pointing out it was a Remington Model 788. They were the cheapest made, but they had an especially quick "lockup time" meaning the firing pin had already hit the primer and the bullet was out the end of the barrel before the pin even hit in a regular rifle.

1/4 MOA barrels can be screwed in like a new spark plug.

You know, perhaps Obama can take a hint from Colorado, if he outlaws guns like they are doing in Colorado, all gun manufacturers will leave America, ensuring the safety of the children for generations to come.

OML - now they're posting videos and photos of this dreadful event!!And apparently they raised over $85,000.00 for the campaign to recall Colorado Senate President John Morse at the event too :O

PS - this one goes to 11 (hundredths of a MOA)...

Reach out and give somebody a spinal tap, I like to say :)

Something wicked indeed!

R.O.C.K. why must I discover these things on my own?

No one rocks a scarf like you my friend!

Comrade Putout, I'm afraid that, yet again, you're mistaken. Much like with Elvis, there are a bazillion impersonators. Why, even people who are famous in their own right, like Johnny Depp for instance, have stolen my look!

While that wasn't me in Somerset, I feel that I should at lease compliment the Stones for being the very first all-zombie band!

ELEVEN HUNDREDTHS MOA?

OK, for the uninitiated, a MOA is "Minutes of Accuracy" which means how close to the point of aim the bullet hits at 100 yards.

So the words "11 hundredths MOA" for me goes into the same bin of incredulity as "1,000 horsepower Chevy 350"

Dare I say it? Yes. Yes, I dare: Or the same bin of incredulity as a Marshall amplifier that goes to 11 :)

And actually it's "minute of angle", based on 360 degrees - with each degree being a minute. At 100 yards it's about an inch.

Wow, this is fun Comrade Rock. I wonder if anybody realizes us 2 old pharts are talking about the same identical thing?

R.O.C.K. & Vladimir - Yes I realized that you "2 old pharts are talking about the same identical thing!" May I assume that you are both familiar with the SMOA (Shooter's Minute of Angle) also known as IPHY (Inches Per Hundred Yards)? All of my high end scopes are calibrated such that 1 MOA corresponds to exactly 1 inch rather than 1.047 inch. Therefore, '1 click' is exactly 1 inch. I am quite deadly!

Here I am demonstrating the improper way to handle a firearm.

Looks fine to me.

Firearm?

Oh pshaw. I figger that, regardless of MOA, sub-MOA, or even PMOA (Putout Minute of Angle), a double tap to the chest and a followup to the head takes care o' bidness.

May none of us ever have to prove it.

Meanwhile the squirrel snuck off. No squirrely meat for us tonight.

That means we eat scabby sunburned beats again.




I sure wish we had some SPAM to go with the beets.

There's nothing like barbecued Squirrel SPAM and a good brew on a warm summer evening!

Yes there is. Occasionally I enjoy showing the 5 holes in a White Castle slider to the manager and asking why the person who shot it can't get a tighter group.

Comrade, comrade, comrade! You spent so much time and energy composing that glorious and rather detailed image and forgot to skin me. And you call yourself a hunter. Ha!

Comrade Craptek- I figger if we can eat scabby beets with the skin on, we can eat squirrel with the skin on.

Fur soaks up the Bar-B-Q sauce really well.

Us old proles aren't eating well and we can't even get our kids to come visit and bring yummy stuff from the city-
