Gun Control III - the Gunnening

[Hurtful Thoughts]

Tell them that a swarm of Iranian patrol boats is no match for a bigger swarm of rednecks in go-fast boats armed with chain guns and automatic 40 mike-mike launchers.

Actually... I have a couple friends who'd love to go grab a couple PKMs from Karachi, a Damen 1102 interceptor, and some body armor and go harass the Iranians... hell, didn't Trump name the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp a Foreign terrorist group? If memory serves me correctly, it's open season on them...

Though with the 2A and gun rights, it would be a very interesting thing to see the govt. start issuing letters of Marque and Reprisal to subsidize the PMC scene.

I totally don't want to start a privateering group and start harassing North Korean and Iranian shipping

Sadly, there actually is a legal precedent for that...

It involved Americans assisting the Canadian revolution of 1837.

THE PATRIOT WAR

NEVER.

FORGET.

But the actual treaty
So declaring war on Canada is a misdemeanour.

Maximum of 3 years in prison.

If we're at war... sure... go nuts.

Thanks brother. Darn shame we can't do this normally...

[Pax Nerdvana]

How could we convince Congress to hand out letters of Marque?

That's a presidential thing, actually.

So go ask Trump to allow you to haz a cannon.

BATF won't be able to stop you if you've got a letter from Trump to arm your fishing-boat to the gills.

I bet he'd say yes. If only I had access to more than a kayak.

It depends on if you're thinking with port-holes.

A 21" torpedo-tube would make for a decent keel.

Skip that, go straight to manned torpedoes.

Twin outboard-motors (contra-rotating to prevent rollover).

PROFIT!!!


...

meh, may as well add a JATO bottle and a pair of stub-wings.
(tbh, I've discussed scaling this idea up to using an SSBN with rockets so it can become its own cruise-missile firing SLBM-sized submunitions en-route)

I'll see your Damen with two engines and a Browning and raise you an 80-foot Elco PT boat with three engines and a shit ton of dakka.

Yes, but can it torpedo a Hind-D?

I think the 40mm Bofors, 20mm Oerlikons, and more .50 cals than you can shake a stick at have that covered.

I'd takeLCS(L)(3)-102 just to make sure with that 3 inch gun... Hinds are tough helicopters to kill...

While reading what is formatted as a "Letter to the Editor" type post. An Immigrant’s View of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and thinking to myself while it speaks loudly that immigrants get the idea behind the enumeration of a 2nd Amendment vs natural born citizens of this country who are clueless and or rightly reject said enumeration, I continued on to the comments and this struck me as odd.

This was something one of my friends and I started doing for folks at the office we worked at. We ended up with twenty or more folks showing up every time. I can think of only one person who didn’t purchase his own, even after a few trips, his wife wouldn’t let him.

Which was in reply to this post for context:

Thank you for this article. I have started taking my team to the range as a thank you for a job well done. Many of them are from India and, like you, have limited experience with firearms. We have a great time and I look forward to each outing. I hope some of them follow your example and come to the next range day with their own firearms to share.

So I guess to those of you that are married have you ran into this issue or know of someone who has? Maybe I lucked out in the 'ol lady lottery in as much that even though she wouldn't want me to buy something and I went ahead and still bought it, she got over it real quick, but as far as I can remember she has never ever forbid me to buy something.
I can probably count on one hand where I have known someone where their spouse forbid them to buy a firearm/motorcycle/bow, etc.
Either way you look it, this too is a form of gun control.

In my case that's simply grounds for not getting married in the first place. Flat-out nope'd my loins right out of that deal to spare the issue of divorce when I go and purchase a multi-thousand dollar rifle.

I hear ya on that.
I guess I'm just confused in how a spouse would even think they can tell the other what they can and cannot buy, one isn't the boss of the other and vice versa.

This is why you take any potential wives shooting.
Or marry someone who's already a better shot then you >.>

If I ever manage to get a girlfriend, one of the first things I'm going to tell her is that I like guns.

My ol lady can shoot and is a natural at shooting, she just isn't all that into it which is a shame. She also believes in the right to keep and bear arms, so I got that going for me, probably which is why she doesn't care one way or another when I buy firearms, all I get is the famous eye roll.
Then again, I get the same eye roll when I buy a new table saw or power miter saw, etc.

Home renovations are a great excuse to buy new tools you'll only need once or twice. I hope I can find a girlfriend who believes in the Second Amendment.
