Arming up America, one Moron couple at a time. I think we might make this a thing.
Tomorrow, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Plus, A Rant!

ARs for Emily goes Long Range
(Artist’s rendition to protect the innocent.)
Grateful going downtown with RMBS’s 6.5 Creedmoor. Solid hits at 530 yards and 860. Then, the same with CBD’s AR-10 in .308.
TRex used that same AR-10 standing at a barricade to nail the 530 yard IPSC silhouette. Yesterday they were doing 300 yards.
ARs for Emily – Live Fire
AR 15 general discussions, then complete controls and function instruction with dummy rounds. Breakdown and reassembly. A whole morning’s worth.
Afternoon live fire at the range. Quick progress and improvement from 8” groups at 25 yards with iron sights, to hitting 12” steel at 100 yards, with iron sights and red dots.
At the end of the day, hitting 12” steel at 300 yards with a scope, from an AR 10 in .308. Smiles all around.
Yes, I’d say it went well. Tomorrow, reaching out and touching things at long distance.
ARs for Emily goes live!
Yup, TRex and Grateful will be our first trial class. CBD and RMBS are in attendance. We shall report.
Upcoming Events
Wow. Hard to believe how the clock speeds up once summer weather arrives.
I was reviewing the lesson plans for AR Familiarization and remembered that we need dummy rounds for the morning session. Had to do brass work, change out the mandrel. 2.23/5.56 is a tiny mouth.
Gotta make them identical in all dimensions.
Seat some 55 grain cannelured FMJ.
No powder, no primers, and clearly marked as dummies. Good to go.

Amelia,
I knew you’d get it. That Rotherham video is everywhere over here too. The same script: deny it, smear the victims, import more of the problem.
Here the NGOs are literally running ads in Venezuela and Haiti telling them “come now, the border is wide open and the free money is waiting.” Then they sue Texas when we try to stop the buses. It’s coordinated. Same foundations, same talking points, same endgame: break the West, demoralise the natives, install a compliant replacement population that doesn’t remember 1776 or 1066 or Magna Carta or any of the things that made us dangerous to tyrants.
They want us atomised, resentful, and too busy fighting each other to notice the real architects at the top. I’m putting together a big piece next week naming the foundations and the politicians who’ve taken their money. Might get the blog deplatformed again but fuck it – someone has to say it.
Miss you more. When this all goes tits up, you’re welcome on the farm. Bring whatever cats survive.
Stay safe, stay savage,
Emily

Deal. I’ll pack the surviving cats and the family shotgun.
You’re right – it’s not about compassion. It never was. It’s demographic warfare dressed up as charity. The end of the West as we knew it, delivered by people who hate what we built and can’t wait to watch it burn.
Keep writing, cousin. The normies are waking up faster than the censors can keep up. One day the bill will come due.
Love you to bits,
Amelia
P.S. If the blog gets nuked again, I’ve got a mate who runs a dark-web mirror. Just say the word.
.22 Caliber Math
Yes, we do math here. Emily is taking you back to old-fashioned book learning. With a very practical application.
We’ve recently shown that, yes, you can accurately shoot a .22 Long Rifle bullet and hit a 5” target 300 yards away. It does take practice, but so do all good-to-have skills.
So what? Well, can that round be lethal at that range? It might be nice to know if there was a tasty rabbit or a less tasty squirrel or other source of protein out there. And you just couldn’t get any closer. Or if a farmer asked you to clean out ground hogs, woodchucks, whatever from his plowed fields. But does the .22 have the kinetic energy sufficient do to so?
Now, math. Kinetic Energy is one of several ways to measure bullet effectiveness. Let’s make some comparisons using our KE = 1/2 x Mass x Velocity Squared. For a .50 BMG (like from a Ma Deuce machine gun), plug in bullet weight of, yes, 660 grains and a muzzle velocity of 2900 feet per second. Kinetic energy comes out to an amazing 12,324 foot pounds. That’s lethal to light armored vehicles at a mile.
How about an M4/AR15 round? Plug in 62 grains and 3,025 fps and you get 1,260 foot pounds, generally accepted as lethal to humans at 500 yards.
How about a 1911 shooting a 230 grain bullet at 850 fps? 369 foot pounds. Clearly lethal at pistol engagement range.
But how about a tiny little 40 grain .22 round traveling at 1,260 fps? A paltry 141 foot pounds. And that’s at the muzzle.
“But, Mr. Red”, you say, “.22s have killed a bunch of people!” Yep. It’s called ubiquity. It’s not magic; there are just a metric sh*t ton of .22s.
The .22 is not generally accepted as a self-defense round, but shear numbers give that result. So there’s something more going on than just energy.
Tomorrow let’s talk about bullet design, wound channels, cross-sections and bullet placement. But still keep in mind our long range .22 shots.
