The Logic & LIES Of GUN CONTROL:

Today's Sick Joke: 

UK is understood to have spent wasted 6 Billion Pounds on two useless 'Elizabeth Class' aircraft carriers. - Have we kiwis still got those 26 parking-lot Scorpion tanks that NZ bought for 8 Million Bucks? (sold to 'Helston Gunsmiths' for under 1/2 a million).

Our 10 MILLION DOLLAR 'new' NZ police Gun Registration list starts again soon ...

they won't be able to sell that 'dead loss' data when they abandon it next time - except to the Gangs..

Seriously but ... Has there EVER been an honest politician - one that was not corrupt & 'On the make" or just plain stupidly greedy. - I keep an eye on the scene in UK and USA while living with New Zealand's lesser copy-cats ... and THEY ARE ALL "at it".

- But we keep on voting for them.

Is TWO  White Elephants a Herd?

"In today's warfare there are now only two classes of ship -

Hypersonic Missiles (flying at up-to 25 times the speed of sound) defeat any defensive system..

Politicians are our 'leaders' - Where do you reckon they are leading us?

Fantasies: fant-ə-sē -zē plural fantasies. : the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need. an object of fantasy. also : a mental image or a series of mental images (as a daydream) so created.

It seems to be current New Zealand political policy that there are now 73 different GENDERS (plus "furries") all having 'equal rights' to pick which toilet to use ... We must learn to speak Te Reo Maori - "GUNS ARE EVIL"  - and that 'CORPORATE TAX' is bad - despite tax being the primary source for providing Medical Care, Law & Order, Education, Pensions, Social Care, and social housing etc.

Recently we had the claim that "cis women" who breast feed must be renamed "CHEST-FEEDERS" - wasn't there a row in 2005 about NZ women being called "FRONT-BUMS" by ex-government politician Tamihere ?

Firearms in private ownership realistically used to be the main means of controlling infestations of introduced pests in New Zealand while simulaneously harvesting protein rich wild grown foods not produced in factories adulterated with chemical additives.

We are fed the legend that Gun Control is the way to reduce violent crime and general criminal activity in New Zealand ... How is it going so far, Detective Inspector CAHILL & Commissioner COSTER?

- Can you show us the FIGURES please? - As opposed to your "beliefs" and aspirations.   

The true reason for seeking to reduce the understanding and ownership of firearms - is fear of insurrection .. not crime reduction.

 - What the new police regulations have achieved to date is a reduction in the numbers of law abiding FIT & PROPER Licensed Gun Owners - with an accelerating rate of criminal violence from unlicensed firearms by gang members.

Any government seeking to administer national affairs in the best interests of it's population would choose to strengthen voter's ability to be independent, and  their means to provide healthy foods for their dependants - rather than to weaken and disarm them to vassel status. 

- Such Administration would have no reason to fear it's own citizens. 

- e.g. Switzerland.

Sam Colt's London Factory:

A Pair of London Navy Colts from 800 Supplied to Canada's Militia

In 1855 @ $25.00 each:

COLTS Thameside London Factory Leased 1853-1856.

 Back then in Colt's time - Londoners were able to buy and carry their revolver of choice for security.

Looking at this old map image ..

The "Small Arms Manufactury" is low-center facing onto the River Thames while the hexagonal 'MILLBANK PENITENTIARY' is now overbuilt by The TAIT ART GALLERY. 

Bessborough Place still exists, close to PIMLICO Underground Station (opened 1972) where the train platforms are 16 meters (52ft.) below sea level. - Near the low-left corner of the map, is now Churchill Gardens Housing Estate built 1950s - where my wife grew up .. I spent a lot of time there in the 60's before we married.

I can clearly pick-out her apartment home at 11 Shelley House (left ) from this photo.

That glass tower supplied the whole estate with FREE domestic heating & water from the coal powered Battersea Power Station across the Thames - piped under the river until the power station closed in 1980. - Those were the days. - These small apartments are now selling for over a MILLION DOLLARS NZ each.

Colt's entry into English industry was not an easy ride, as his percussion revolvers were 'Single Action' needing to be hand-cocked for each shot whereas many English manufacturers were producing 'Double-Action' guns. - He had also upset the English gunmakers by not employing their services of hand made craftsmanship - but instead used precision steam powered machinery, staffed with ordinary workers to produce his standard 'interchangable' parts assemblies.

Long term demand for Colts London-made guns slumped when the Crimean War ended in February 1856 and Samuel closed his Pimlico plant at the end of that year - shipping the machinery and stock components back to America where demand was greater.

These same buildings that he leased, - in 1858 became The Royal Small Arms Repair Factory. 

- R.S.A.R.F was established in 1858 by the British Government to act as the first depot and training establishment for the Corps of Armourer Sergeants - who made up a significant number of the work’s staff. - The factory was used for some ten years as a repair and modification facility for a range of small arms belonging to the British armed forces - before ending up at RSAF in Birmingham.

- Sadly, Samuel Colt crippled by gout, - died of heart failure a young but wealthy man aged only 47 in 1862.

An original $25.00 Colt Navy .36 Model 1851 antique Revolver will cost you here around 4-5,000 NZ Dollars to buy depending on condition ... a very good investment.

Lawful Self Defence For Brits & Kiwis:

Three Life-Saving Methods - and a Warning:

Soft Sea-Fishing LURES .. If you have complied with your robbers demand by giving her everything of value you possess ... they still show interest in kicking the shit out of you - these sporting silicon lures may be just the ticket to save your life. Hold your attractively coloured inoffensive soft lure firmly by the head and extend it carefully towards the mugger  - point vigorously into the distance with your other hand calling a warning - and as she turns to follow your pointing index you carefully hook the soft lure into the ear, like an ear-ring to distract the attention while you run off screaming into the night.

Note: It is recomended that the pointed hook be frequently SANITIZED so as to reduce the risk of causing infection.

Digital watches .. These low cost items may prove invaluable when attacked by a larger-stronger victim of social injustice. The recomended method requires a degree of practiced expertise that can be achieved by the dedicated as described here. - First ensure that the Barbie Watch strap is unbuckled and freely held in the hand, while reaching forward to pinch a convenient fold of your attackers skin between thumb & index finger .. as they open their mouth to scream "Stop" you carefully push the Barbie Watch as far as you can past their teeth and down the throat - thereby distracting the unfortunate aggressor's attention as you run screaming into the night.

If you are feeling alarmed by the possibilty of an intimate approach - there are personal devices that will emit a loud noise provided their batteries have not gone flat - Conveniently they are intended to be attached to your keys so that the attacker will be able to locate them in the dark if you drop or throw them away. WARNING be careful not to scratch your assailent when presenting your "Rape Alarm" as your keys may be sharp and this can lead to you being charged with assault by police. 

Note there have been instances where London's Metropolitan Police have claimed these alarms are terrorist weapons if a Royal Coronation is impending, so be sure not to wave one visibly at any uniformed personel.

Disclaimer-Warning:

- There have been claims that it may be legal to counter violence with an equal level of force - but be careful not to be lured into taking any rash precautions. - While it may be common for misunderstood 'Prospects' to have a rusty hammer shoved inside the waist of their jeans for defence from aggressive chickens ... if you were to do similarly, as a retiree you may be charged under the carriage of offensive weapons while receiving a Superannuation Payment Act.

Corrupt Police, Politicians & CIA Changing 'Facts' For History - Now We Have 'A I'

How are we going to know the truth ever again now that AI can generate video of anyone saying or doing anything - in any location at any time?

I've just come across 'AMERICAS UNTOLD STORIES' which is an older Youtube series about the killing of the U S President JFK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oky-UZ1kGwo

These guys reckon that the "successor" LBJ done it  and whatever anyone may choose to believe .. their stories disclose a very seedy ruling class in USA - in an intriguing-entertaining way -  I never could work-out how the killed Dallas police officer Tippet fitted into the JFK Assassination story until hearing of the two headshot bodies flown out of Dallas.

A lot of info about ballistics crops-up. Well - be it fact or embroidered fiction it's better than watching the conditioning adverts on television .. What about the weirdo Jesuit joker Ferrie who dies from a natural cerebral event, but had left TWO suicide notes?

While it is obvious that guns were used in EVERY shooting - folk blaming these violent deaths on "GUNS" rather than on the evil greedy people who commit or directed the acts, are simpletons.

For the last seventy years, over a MILLION people every year have been killed in "warfare" by Governments.

Why do "they" want to ban our guns?

The NZ National Party has all ready admitted to using AI generated images in their political advertising on the run-up to our next elections.

Try watching this three minute  "President Nixon video" and decide how much of the 6 o'clock News stories that you just saw were real ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rkQn-43ixs

- Now .. Can you tell, - or how can you tell, - that this piece that you have just read was written by moi, - or was it generated by ChatGPT or 'Speechelo'  ??

Genuine Options For Going BANG:

 EVERY firearm is capable of causing life threatening wounds - indeed many non-fire arms are fully capable of targeting and killing, including air-weapons, - arrow projecting BOWS - Crossbows - Slingshots - Spears and indeed the whole spread of impact tools including axes, hammers, baseball bats and of course knives & swords - edged weapons. - "Accidental" injuries can occur.

Of Course there are no individuals out there who have dropped a NUKE by accident - Are there?

The U S Government Pentagon admits to having had 32 'BROKEN ARROWS' nuclear mishaps - so that's nice and reassuring eh - I don't expect that the Russians, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Brits, French, Israelis, or Iranians have ever been anywhere near as careless. - All those stories about Russian sailors glowing green in the dark, and forbidden zones in central Australia & elsewhere would of course be bullshit. - How many U S or Russian (other Brands are available) nuclear submarines are permanently missing? - the answer is NINE or TEN depending on how you count "nuclear" - as powered, armed, or both.

Naturally there are some knowlegeable folk who would dismiss the firelocks, flintlocks, and percussion "cap'n'ball" muzleloaders with a sneering shake of their heads - as progress has advanced beyond this kind. (I too like the old Glocks etc).

QUESTION 1: Did the invention of warheads mounted on missiles mean that nuclear bombs dropped by aircraft would no longer work?

QUESTION 1a: Did the Colt AR15 development stop the old 30-30 from still harvesting deer and hogs?

OK .. Can 5 lead balls fired from a 31" caliber Model 1849 Pocket Percussion Revolver each penetrate Thirteen inches of ballistic gelatin to pass the FBI Standard? - Answer YES.

OK .. Can 6 lead balls from a .36" Colt Navy 1851 or 1861 model each penetrate to more than twice that minimum FBI recommendation? - Answer YES

And of course the old 44-Army percussion revolver can still down a horse or bison most effectively with it's .451 inch diameter ball or conical bullet. - The 31 Caliber Pocket Pistol uses balls that measure .32 inch while the 36-Navy naturally uses .375 -.380 inch pills.

So .31 guns are really 32s - the .36 guns are .38s - and the .44" guns are actually .45"s.

QUESTION 2: Are modern guns easier to load and use ... Obviously. - Are they MORE powerful ... Sometimes

QUESTION 2a: Is anything killed with a modern cartridge gun MORE DEAD than something killed with an old obsolete firearm .. Obviously NOT.

My second topic is "Brands" or Makers ... there likely are hundreds if not thousands of gunmakers who produced guns over the 750 plus years history of blackpowder guns - some excellent, and some perhaps more ordinary - with the most famous name Samuel Colt being THE American legend.

Those early original 'Colts' are fascinating pieces of firearms history that are rightly treasured as valuable antiques. There is strong evidence that English born gunsmith John Pearson had much design input into the first 26 prototype guns for Colt.

https://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2011-B103-John-Peason-Gunsmith-for-Sam-Colt.pdf

 - Samuel Colt bought the steel AND SOME COMPONENTS he used to make his guns from Thomas Firth & Sons of Sheffield England, up until 1869.

There are collecters & experts who will minutely examine and record every slight 'variation' from the 'norm' while seeking for extra value from rarities AND checking for forgeries and reworked guns.

In the late 1950s Val Forgett contracted with Italian gunmakers Gregorelli & Uberti to make fine copies of Colt's 1851 Navy model, in 1958 and onwards. - Their success lead to Colts Manufacturing Company contracting with Lou Imperato in 1993 - who founded 'Colts Blackpowder Arms Co.' and they bought Italian made components to be finished & assembled as "Colts" in U S.

Are these "Second Generation" & "3rd Generation" percussion revolvers 'REAL Colts' ? ... Discuss .. but please remember always that many of Samuel Colts very earliest commercial guns were made for The Patent Manufacturing Company under contract by Eli Whitney Blake. - Were they real Colts?

The present U S Colt Co. is a subsidery holding of the Czech business Česká zbrojovka Group. (Colt CZ Group) .. are they real Colts ?

Now ... There is  'expert opinion'  to consider - and there is accepted fact that has later been discredited or thrown into doubt. If you stray into collecting interesting rare old Colt guns for financial investment ambition - it would be wise to learn of RL Wilson and some nasty collecting events. - Try listening to this two hour sorry story for starters:

Size Isn't Everything - British Cartridges:

 Come on Guys - we're talking 'man stuff' about shooting - not ...

Cartridge designation is an absolute nightmare of a mess that means we need to be very careful - because using a wrong round can cause a dangerous KABOOM - even using the right round in an older gun can be disasterous if that round is loaded to a later more powerful specification than the early firearm was built to use .. such as a smokeless powder load rather than a black powder load.

The particular rounds I want to consider seem, from the names, to be very different cartridges ..

The .450" Adams aka .450 Boxer Mk I can also be called: .450 Revolver, .450 Colt, .450 Short, .450 Corto, .450 Mk III, and .45 Webley. 

The .455 Webley naturally is also known as .455 Eley , and .455 Colt. (various Mks.)

The .476 Enfield is also known as .476 Eley, .476 Revolver, and .455/476 (a clue)

Three different sized Calibers right? ... Well NO, - wrong actually as they all three use a .455 inch diameter bullet - unless you accept that the .455" offically used a .454" pill (maybe).

The ".476" refers to the brass CASE Diameter - not the bullet - and each of these designations of rounds are detailing small changes in specification upgrading performance while leaving the earlier cartridges still useable in the revolver. There are changes to the cartridge case length and capacity.

These are proactive changes - NOT retroactive. - Be very cautious in what you might be tempted to fire in the earlier model firearms.

Note: The rimless .45 ACP or 45 Colt is meant to use bullets that measure .452 inch.

These calibers have such long histories that there are developments and changes with time - with cross-use, plus there is a small degree of flexibility in the actual size of projectile that can be used - resulting from commercial manufacturing tolerance and the fact that lead (copper too but less so) is to some extent malleable and 'plastic' and is intended to fit itself to the bore of a firearm in a gas sealing manner - by expanding under pressure and obturating.

This is a link worth taking a look ..

https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/476-enfield-revolver/30418

- Could someone use bullets made for a 45 ACP to reload for a .455" Webley? - That would depend ... many war surplus Webley .455 revolvers were cheaply modified to accept .45 ACP ammunition and sold,- some have not yet blown-up.

73 Genders - GUNS - Old Soldiers :

My father died in a ditch aged 50. This greatly upset Mum and she tried to keep it as quiet as possible.

______________

"Gun Control"?

When a mansion in a walled estate becomes too restrictive - move out and buy an island. - When an island becomes restrictive - buy a whole country. - If the planet becomes too small .. conquer space ..

Gun Control used to be making sure you hit your target .. now it's about making us helpless.

Badge Of The Irish Guards.

Dad was a rural Co. Wicklow Irishman who left home at 15 with a ticket to London and 'Half a Crown' in his pocket. After working at various jobs he volunteered for the British Army Irish Guards Regiment in 1938 and then Numbers 1 & 2 Commandos - where he served almost eight years throughout WW2 until 'demob' in 1945.

Twenty years later he and Mum were on holiday with her sister at Parson Drove and they were walking up the lane to catch the bus into Wisbech when Dad said "You girls go on ahead I just want to have a word with this feller." ... talking away as they walked on - until "where's he got to?"

They found him collapsed into the Fenland roadside dyke - dead from a final heart attack. - When he died aged 50 he was the Station Master at the busiest station on the whole London Transport network BAKER STREET.

- He said that to volunteer for special duties in the Commandos had been the only way to get away from the poofy public-school Guards officers.

I think he was a believer - as another story he told, was while advancing up a road in Italy they were attacked by a Stuka Dive Bomber and while running for cover - one swaddy cried 

"What shall we do Corp?" - Dad instructed "Pray You C#nt - PRAY".

Many of Dad's family may be found in the graveyard at one of the seven old churches in Glendalough Wicklow.

There are now apparently 73 genders - plus "Furries" as opposed to only male and female, in our fashionable non-binary society.

- Our Billionaire 'leaders' need to be reminded that they too will eventually end-up in wooden boxes.
