One was my escapades in the Arctic was clubbing baby seals for kicks. Alas, I found the on-going costs of this natural libertarian activity to be expensive. Renting a dog-sled is way too expensive, plus I don’t feed them so they always end up dying or some shit, driving my expenses higher. I experimented with orphans but I couldn’t get much mileage out of them; plus I didn’t feed them, etc., etc.
Moreover, the price of baseball bats are just too high. I use wood; not that aluminum stuff.
But one feature that could be fun are songs that may offend the perpetually outraged. Songs that, given the state of current cultural affairs, could be up for censorship.
Let me begin with an obvious one.
Lola. We should all be so lucky it hasn’t been singled out…yet.
If Lou Reed is a target, then nothing is literally safe anymore. Nuffin.
All I know is, thank God we still have him.
The Kinks? Not so much:
“Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world
Except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola”
What a bunch of uneducated, cis-normative toxic men they are! Science has proven gender is fluid and a social construct. Can we update these lyrics already?
And if you think that’s it….
I bring you the songs and lyrics of Faces (Small Faces/Rod Stewart – whatever they’re called. Let’s just call them The Ronnie Lane Band) and The Rolling Stones. I mean, come on!
“In the morning
Don’t say you love me
‘Cause I’ll only kick you out of the doorI know your name is Rita
‘Cause your perfume smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
GuitarWon’t need to much persuading
I don’t mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about”
/jaw drops. That’s cold.
There are no safe spaces big enough for the snowflakes.
“She said, my breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy
Yeah we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it baby, you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on
Yeah and if you want to, you can cream on me“
This is why we need strict sexual speech control.
*Int. Night. Rufus’s Pontiac Chevette (draped in Iron Maiden’s Piece of Mind). Teases mullet, fiddles with radio searching for curling scores, tosses bottle of hootch out of the window, inserts ‘Let it bleed‘ with wide grin. Winks and turns to girl with tongue sticking out.*
Onto Australia, who really have the art of sexual innuendo perfected:
“I’ve got big balls
I’ve got big balls
They’re such big balls
And they’re fancy big balls
And he’s got big balls
And she’s got big balls
But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all”
Tremendous.
Bon Scott.
Hoo-kay.
And how about ‘Girl Watcher‘ by The O’Kaysions?
I mean for fuck sakes:
“I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Watchin’ girls go by, hey, my my
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Here comes one now”
Here comes one now? Are we not more progressive than this? Way to go objectifying women, jerks.
I know what you’re thinking. When it comes to outright offensive music, the Welsh immediately enter your mind. I know it does for me.
“What’s new pussycat whoa
What’s new pussycat whoa oh
Pussycat, pussycat, I’ve got flowers
And lots of hours to spend time with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose”
Other than this is a song made for Pepe Le Pew (Teep toe, to thee weendow…), I’d say this is pretty bad given our current elevated and enlightened cultural discourse, no?
Let’s continue since I’m on a roll.
“Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we’ll be falling in love”
Sounds like rape culture to me. Do people know what happens under the boardwalk? Hint: THEY’RE WORKING.
Fun fact with Rufus: The mayor of Wildwood was a client of my father’s tailoring service in the 1970s and 1980s. When we visited one summer, he gave us a personal tour of Wildwood (it was just like Venice, I swear) and regaled us with stories of the real “fun and games” under the boardwalk. Hint: It wasn’t always fun and games.
Thus we arrive at the other feature for Glibs called ‘Spotlight on Bios”.
For this, let’s head to Canada.
One Nicholas Matte from the University of Toronto:
“Nicholas Matte is a politically-conscious interdisciplinary historian who curates the Sexual Representation Collection and teaches in the Sexual Diversity Studies program. In his classrooms, Dr. Matte builds learning environments that foster creative thinking and he encourages students to grapple with new and difficult ideas, particularly those they find most interesting and relevant to their interests, lives, and goals. As a historian who works with living memory and marginalized communities, Matte connects historical contexts and efforts with present-day experiences through oral histories and other interactive and engaging interdisciplinary methods.”
If you want to see this paragon of intellectualism; a deluge of scholarly magnificence, soak in his passive-aggressive interaction with the ‘infamously controversially obscure’ Jordan Peterson.

You are a cunt, Matte.
That’s it for now.
Be safe.

I’m old enough to remember when people on the Left were upset with Walmart for not carrying CDs with a parental warning label and defended Eminem when the gay community attacked him for his lyrics. Now the Left is actively seeking to kick the NRA off the internet; force stores to cow-tow to their politics; force the religious to violate their conscience, and silencing music.
Good times
“Cow-tow”? Is that like towing the lion?
*kowtows*
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Look who decided to comment with a culturally offensive picture and correcting my automatic spell check. I would have thought that a cow butt would have been more appropriate than a bunch of Chinese people, but you do you
Full disclosure: I do not want a cow butt
Too late!
And now you are othering cows.
Not so, I use only the finest Swiss Brown!
It identifies as a cat butt.
One of the greatest memories of my life – going to Daytona Beach for New Year’s as a young Marine, going to a dive-type bar that was one of those places where it’s all regulars who don’t want you there, playing Head Like a Hole on the jukebox, hearing one of said regulars bitching about it, going back to the jukebox and putting 5 bucks in it and selecting Head Like a Hole every time, then hearing the anger every time it came on again….and again…..and again…..and again….
I think by #5, we decided it might be best to split before someone knifed one of us.
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Hot damn. Trent Reznor knows how to write lyrics.

Also, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap ‘Young Girl’ Classic victim blaming and rape culture.
That song always creeped me out, even as a kid I knew is wan’t quite right
How about “You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.”?
It was a problematic era.
Also, I hate the Big Bopper. So. Much.
Not just that era.
I hate doo wop….also wops.

One is tempted to cite this.
I’m surprised that feminists haven’t tried to ban David Lee Roth’s mere existence
You forget, he doesn’t break either of the rules.
1. He was attractive
2. He was never unattractive
You apparently haven’t seen a picture of David Lee Roth recently
He’s out of the spotlight, and note I spoke in the past tense.
Frankly, I’ve always wondered whether – despite the image – whether he might not have some sexual preferences that don’t include host busty chicks in bikinis.
“Frankly, I’ve always wondered whether – despite the image – whether he might not have some sexual preferences that don’t include host busty chicks in bikinis.”
You’re thinking Sammy Haggar
No, Hagar’s almost certainly a cishet rapebro.
Dave has always had women *around*, but scuttlebutt about his sex life is virtually nonexistent.
I had a gf once with a profoundly effective gayday, and she expressed reservations about old Diamond Dave.
“I had a gf once with a profoundly effective gayday, and she expressed reservations about old Diamond Dave.”
Shut your whore mouth!
Yes – Diamond Dave pinged the gaydar. A bit to happy dancing in spandex and a perm. And he seemed to want to take the band out of hard-rock in a show-tunes / pop direction where he could rock less and prance more.
True story. 1981, a friend and I went to the Troubadour in West Hollywood. Getting drinks and we look over and see three skinny, hairsprayed, lingerie wearing “chicks.” To each other we’re like “let’s go check them out.” Bartender says don’t bother, that’s David Lee Roth with two groupies.
Looks like you got the last laugh.

How about, “Girl, you’ll be a woman soon”?
but not “My Charona?”
A lot of that song’s lyrics are about the woman demanding sex. Since she’s in charge, they should be fine with it.
Although I’m sure there are a few idiots who’ll find a problem with it.
So I double checked my memory and sure enough, other than the spelling (Sharona , not charona)
That song is about being hot for a chicken who’s too young. Npr says he eventually got with her…no mention of her age at that time.
At least he gave her a warning and a head start.
“Young Girl” “This Girl is a Woman Now” – sounds like someone had a fetish…
Meeeow! in Welsh would be miiiiiiaw! Uffar gwirion.

No blurred lines? I am disaponted
Wait that was already up for censorship. Never mind
What is the Romanian government’s stance on censoring songs, music videos?
Mostly they dont care except airing on tv between mornijg amd midnight
That isn’t too terrible then.
Romanians don’t show up on video, so not many music videos there.
So, is it like mirrors, you can’t see their reflection?
I have a playlist that is nothing but songs culled from various feminist “Most Misogynist Songs” lists that I made a few years ago for….uh, purposes. I don’t think that’s how they intended for the information to be used. My favorite is always: Under My Thumb
This is a good reminder that the pendulum is always swinging. Sometimes one party is in power, then eventually the other party is in power. Sometimes one side is against censorship, sometimes they are for it.
Yup. I switched to L because I was sick of D/R switching who was playing dictator and now that the libertarian party has beclowned itself, I’m full anarchist.
The really frustrating part is that each party’s so-called platform seems completely arbitrary.
I think I misspelled O’Kaysons in the draft but forgot to fix it. Thanks to whoever fixed it. Thanks Ghostwriter!

Either way, it feels so right.

Boot Hill by Stevie Ray, consice
Post longer lyrics…?

We’ll be havin’ some fun
We can’t stop at music, gotta ban books too.
“She lay still, in a kind of sleep, always in a kind of sleep. The activity, the orgasm was his, all his; she could strive for herself no more. Even the tightness of his arms round her, even the intense movement of his body, and the springing of his seed in her, was a kind of sleep, from which she did not begin to rouse till he had finished and lay softly panting against her breast.”
DH Lawrence, what a misogynist
“What holds the world together, as I have learned from bitter experience, is sexual intercourse.”
Henry Miller, rape apologist
“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”

On a related note, I recently learned that the girlfriend had never seen any of the PMRC senate testimony. I had her watch Zappa and Dee Snider rip apart the Senators. It’s still glorious.

The speech you should show her is John Denver’s.
I so admired Snider both for what he said as well as how he dressed for the hearing. He made his contempt for the Senators clear as can be.

Spend the night in Charlotte’s bed
You might get caught in Charlotte’s web
A satin rose, that’s growing wild
Charlotte holds more secrets, than the night
She spins and weaves her magic spell
Her body speaks, what words can’t tell
I’m a moth, she’s a flame
In a town that’s all too quick, to smear her name
But I’ll take the likes of Charlotte and her kind
Small-town talk, don’t matter now that Charlotte’s mine
It may be true, that other men have found her bed
But I’m the one who’s caught in Charlotte’s Web
Hey, he was asking for it

Little Arabella, she’s always out of her head.
She lives in a daydream, she never understands what she said.
She carries a flower, long after everyone said it’s dead.
And if you see her, you’ll never believe, her head.
Little Arabella, she giggles her way into bed.
A skirt around her ankles, smoke comin’ out of her head.
She wakes in the morning, looks and there’s nobody in her bed.
And if you meet her, you’ll never believe, her head.
Talks in riddles, talks in rhymes.
She reads the stars and looks for signs.
She is a problem of the times.
I’m rather glad she isn’t mine.Little Arabella, she giggles away into bed.
A skirt around her ankles, smoke comin’ out of her head.
She wakes in the morning, looks and there’s nobody to be found.
And if you meet her, you’re sure to be, her next ground.
Probably the creepiest song I’ve ever head is Cousin Dupree by Steely Dan
Well I’ve kicked around a lot since high school
I’ve worked a lot of nowhere gigs
From keyboard man in a rock’n ska band
To haulin’ boss crude in the big rigs
Now I’ve come back home to plan my next move
From the comfort of my Aunt Faye’s couch
When I see my little cousin Janine walk in
All I could say was ow-ow-ouch
[Chorus:]
Honey how you’ve grown
Like a rose
Well we used to play
When we were three
How about a kiss for your cousin Dupree
She turned my life into a living hell
In those little tops and tight capris
I pretended to be readin’ the National Probe
As I was watchin’ her wax her skis
On Saturday night she walked in with her date
And backs him up against the wall
I tumbled off the couch and heard myself sing
In a voice I never knew I had before
[Chorus]
I’ll teach you everything I know
If you teach me how to do that dance
Life is short and quid pro quo
And what’s so strange about a down-home family romance?
One night we’re playin’ gin by a cracklin’ fire
And I decided to make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said – but what is it exactly turns you off?
Reminds me of the Dead South song I listened to for a year before realizing the lyrics. Damn Canadiens
Tore up the restraining order, I don’t care I’m comin’ over
What your daddy said isn’t goin’ over to well
Don’t you know not to kiss and tell?
Mama said “she’s my brothers daughter” and I don’t even know who’s my father
I guess she’s my cousin but she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway!
Pulled you out by your hair, if people ask I was never there
Come on baby and take a ride with me
Come on baby let’s drive to the sea
Mama said “she’s my brothers daughter” and I don’t even know who’s my father
I guess she’s my cousin but she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway!

Random thought (provoked by last post in previous thread)
Gilmore on February 28, 2018 at 1:04 pm
One of the things you see a lot in the media claims about “Mass shootings”:
1) they use a very very very wide definition in order to pump the #s up.
Which is basically the “more than # (3 or more, usually) wounded” definition. which includes dozens and dozens of annual urban gang shootings at block -parties where single bullets might strike 3 people, leaving many wounded but few killed. in other words, “mass shootings” which are not at all typical of the sort which the public conceives as “mass shootings” (e.g. the lone crazy guy who shoots up otherwise strangers in some public place)
Almost none of these actually use rifles.
2) but when characterizing what things are “typical” of a mass-shooting, they revert to this very very narrow definition: the sort of ‘school shooting’ / spree-killing event where 10 or more people are killed. Suddenly, the San Berdoos and the Omar Mateens and the James Holmes are the “norm” again; but will be quickly discarded when the same journalist needs to whip up some scary data. – e.g. “most mass shootings are done w/ AR-15”
once you become aware of this pivot, you see it constantly. People will sometimes do it in a single sentence.
Probably should be the Glib anthem.

Love it. It’s only appropriate they’re from California.
I vote for this.
I was thinking this
No Smiths, for sure.
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I’d like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed
And Alex Lifeson is right out, too.
For pure offensiveness, there’s Fear’s Strangulation:
Strangled me a bitch, gonna leave her in a ditch,
I’m a have a few fits, gonna chop off her tits,
Gonna put up a fight, gonna scream all night,
I’m a jam her with my axe, gonna cause a few facts,
Gonna mess up her head, gonna tie her to the bed
Strangulation
Mutilation
Humiliation
I’m a knock down the door, throw her on the floor,
Gonna keep it shut, she ain’t nothing but a slut,
Gonna jam in her face, gonna knock it outta place,
Gonna stick it up her ass, gonna throw her in the trash
This one eventually got to be too much even for Lee Ving. IIRC he hasn’t played this one in a few decades, at the request of his girlfriend I think.
A much less crude but more devious one is Tyler by the Toadies. If you don’t really pay attention to the lyrics, it sounds like a fairly typical love song, with a chorus of “I will be with her tonight”. In the last verse, however, you get:
I find a window in the kitchen
And I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator
Pour myself a beer
I can’t believe I’m really here
And she’s lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch
And her anxious breath
I stumble in the doorway
Outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me
I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter
I press against the door
I will be with her tonight
I think the Tiger Lillies may have them beat, they can be offensive enough that I’m not going to link them. Suffice it to say one of their songs is about crucifying Jesus.
The road I cruise is a bitch now baby
You know you can’t turn me ’round
And if a house gets in my way baby
You know I’ll burn it down
You remember the night that you left me
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold now baby
You’re gone, I crushed your face
And, of course, the Misfits had Die, Die My Darling and American Nightmare:
Hot cherry on Friday night
When the sun goes down my spine
I put an axe in my baby’s head
I’m gonna end up doing time
She looks so good in red
American nightmare running scared
And for general offensiveness (ie not #MeToo specific), there’s Last Caress
I got something to say
I killed a baby today
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as she spreads
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death
One last caress
Or….hell, I could list pretty much the entire Misfits catalog – Skulls, Mommy May I Go Out and Kill Tonight?, Hatebreeders, Hybrid Moments, Bullet, etc.
I’m not a connoisseur of this sort of stuff at all, but my winner for sheer audaciousness has always been Geto Boys
even when i was 12, it was obvious to me that the “Parental advisory” labels merely helped advertise the records you should buy. Tipper Gore was pretty much the head marketing-director for 2LiveCrew, Body Count, NWA, etc.
——————————————-
Paranoid, sittin in a deep sweat
Thinkin I gotta fuck somebody before the week ends
The sight of blood exites me, shoot you in the head
Sit down, and watch you bleed to death
I hear the sound of your last breath
Shouldn’t have been around, I went all the way left
You was in the right place with me at the wrong time
I’m a psychopath, in a minute lose my fuckin mind
Calm down, back to reality
Don’t fear death, cause I know that it’s promised to me
Flashes, I get flashes of Jason
Gimme a knife, a million lives I’m wastin
The shadow of death follows me, I don’t give a fuck
Pussy play Superman, your ass’ll get boxed up
Put him in a straight jacket, the man’s sick
This is what goes on in the mind of a lunatic

[ VERSE 2: Bushwick Bill ]
Lookin through her window, now my body is warm
She’s naked, and I’m a peepin tom
Her body’s beautiful, so I’m thinkin rape
Shouldn’t have had her curtains open, so that’s her fate
Leavin out her house, grabbed the bitch by her mouth
Drug her back in, slammed her down on the couch
Whipped out my knife, said, “If you scream, I’m cuttin”
Opened her legs and commenced the fuckin
She begged me not to kill her, I gave her a rose
Then slit her throat, and watched her shake till her eyes closed
Had sex with the corpse before I left her
And drew my name on the wall like helter skelter
Run for shelter never crossed my mind
I had a gauge, a grenade, and even a nine
Dial 911 for the bitch
But the cops ain’t shit when they’re fuckin with a lunatic
(Another innocent victim of this homicidal maniac)

[ VERSE 3: Scarface ]
I sit alone in my four-cornered room starin at candles
Dreamin of the people I’ve dismantled
I close my eyes and in the circle
Appears the images of sons of bitches that I murdered
Flashbacks of bodies bein fucked up
Once I attack, I’m like a pit on a rage that’s goin for guts
Boys used to die when I’m full fo that fry
I be ebbin when I’m high
So I say ‘fuck’ and just let bullets fly
Like I said before, Scarface is my identity
A homicidal maniac with sucidal tendencies
I’m on the violent tip, so yo, get a grip
And bitch, come equipped, ain’t takin no shit
Cause here comes a lunatic
[ VERSE 4: Scarface ]
My girl’s gettin skinny, she’s strung out on coke
So I went to her mother’s house and cut out her throat
Her grandma was standin there, she was screamin out, “Brad!”
As she reached for the telly, I put the blade on granny’s ass
Went to the back and grabbed a shovel
Now granny’s on her way to meet the devil
Pulled out my .38 and aimed at the bitch
A cop says (Freeze, muthafucka!) Bitch, suck my dick
I said, “Die, muthafuckas!” as I blasted
Something clicked in my head, visions of bodies in plastic
The scent of buckshots in human flesh
Pigs dyin from bullet wounds to the chest
No sheriff’s gonna take me on a road
Dark as fuck, and let his pistols explode
Fuck that, cause I ain’ts to die
So I reloaded my Uzi and fired up another fry
It got me crazy as fuck
A ragin psychotic full of that Angel’s Dust
The cops had the place surrounded
Hunted for a way to get out – I found it
Innocent bystanders watch me set an example
I popped one, “Let me go, goddammit
Scot free
Or all of these muthafuckas comin with me”
All of a sudden the shit got silent
I remember wakin up, in an asylum
Bein treated like a troubled kid
My shirt was all bloody, and both of my wrists was slit
Think this is harsh? This ain’t as harsh as it gets
No tellin what’s bein thought up in the mind of a lunatic

(Maniac)

A damn fool was born with the mind of a lunatic
I shoulda been killed
But sister fucked around and let me live
Now I developed a criminal behaviour
Fuck with me, and I’ll slay ya
Ass, beyond recognition, shit
Your dental records couldn’t prove your identity, bitch
I beg your pardon, on talkin to borden
You’ll never find a muthafucka, so save your milk cartons
Cross the line, your ass is mine
I don’t give a fuck if you’re 9 or 99
Blind, crippled, and crazy, don’t faze me
Your funky ass will be pushin up daisies
You want to know what makes me click?
My psychiatrist said I got the mind of a lunatic
(Let’s get out of here, that guy is crazy)
(Ma-) (Ma-) (Ma-) (Maniac)
[ VERSE 6: Willie D ]
I ain’t got it all, so don’t fuck with me
Unless your ass want to be made history
I’ll blow your muthafuckin house up
And if your wife and kids are inside, they’re fucked
I don’t give a damn who I slay
Don’t let me get a hold of some E&J
Cause when the shit hit the fan
I’ll stab your ass quicker than a Mexican
The nightmares I leave you with on the scene
Will make Freddy bitch ass look like a wet dream
This is fact, not fictional, son of a bitch
I got the mind of a lunatic
Y’all are forgetting The Tubes.
I was ready for Talk to Ya Later, but your selection is a better fit.
The Tubes are my go-to relationship gurus really. When I grow up I want to be Fee Waybill.
My prayers have been answered.
Mr T, sated by US men’s Olympic curling victory, now moves on to some other otherwise-neglected sporting event, to daily tout its importance in his life = Paralympics
I’ve heard Mr. T on the radio recently. He’s one of those motivational speaker type guys now, very encouraging but grateful for all the success he’s had. He could be twittering about gun control and political bs. So I’m happy to see this.
He’s been motivatin’ for a long time. I remember seeing him doing those kind of gigs over 10 years ago.
His bio is quite interesting and varied.
Mr. T is a class act.
Nice to see a public figure finding some joy in life.
And a childhood hero who continues to be great guy, and not a washed up druggie axe murderer.

IT grin the morning links: “And here’s one for the busybody eco-warriors that think man can fix everything.”
This is no surprise to me. At my work we do lots of these projects. The people runing them do not use what I would consider to be science. They’re often squishy people and don’t really know what they’re doing. Failure rates are really high.
As an engineer, this really bothers me.

I understand the criticisms of the NRA, but why don’t these same ostensibly ‘libertarian’ people (oh hell, we all know they’re just neoliberals) ever criticize the ACLU, like ever, even a little bit, even sometimes, when they have backtracked on everything from freedom of assembly (for pro-life demonstrators), religious liberty, and free speech (they said that they won’t defend people with guns anymore)?
I would be more open the arguments made by cosmos if it wasn’t so obviously transparent that they just oppose the NRA, but support the ACLU, because of what is fashionable.
Look, man, there are REDNECKS in the NRA! Can’t abide that!
They don’t even cock their pinky when drinking Appletinis!
6, I saw in the morning thread you picked up a Ruger carbine. Is this the new 9mm that takes Glock mags and if yes where did you find it?
Yep. It takes Ruger SR Mags or Glocks, depending on the mag insert you install.
One of the guys I know at the club got one, and he let me shoot a couple of mags. It’s nice, like a grown-up 10/22. He had a 2MOA cheap-ish red dot on it and we broke the gun down, reassembled it and the sight was still accurate, so I bought one and the guy I bought it from is getting it in – as you know, they’re in short supply.
I’ll end up paying MSRP because he’s a guy I know and he’s worth supporting.
Other places that have them for sale (although not necessarily in stock) but who I’d trust are:
Hoffmans Guns in Connecticut. They’re a huge Ruger dealer and I know they’ve had at least 3 shipments of various models of the carbine.
USA Liberty Arms in Fort Collins. They had a few in stock last week and had some on order.
Then there’s the uniquitos https://www.galleryofguns.com/RugerStore/Default.aspx.
If your favorite local vendor has a reasonable thru’put, they should be able to source one for you. They’re being allocated in smaller lots than the retailers want, so expect the price to be nearer MSRP than ‘normal discount’.
Gallery of guns has all models on ‘Restricted Availability’, but you can find dealers who use Davisons as a distributor if you dial in a different long gun.
Gracias
What state are you in?
One of the southern ones (have to be a little careful here).
That’s OK. Just from the point of view of what kind of mags you’ll be allowed.
If the guy I use gets any 17 round mag versions in, you want me to get him to hold one for you? He won’t be selling them locally.
I appreciate it but I think I’ll wait for the price to come down a bit before I buy.
I bought a coworker a NRA membership today. Made me happy to do a nice thing for him, made me even happier to think how angry that gesture would make a proggie.
I’m not an NRA member and I find their ‘all-in on Trump’ mentality recently to be sick. But, I agree with most of their positions on guns overall. I agree with the ACLU on almost nothing anymore (except for the rare times that they defend actual unpopular speech).
But, nothing gets me more upset than ostensibly ‘libertarian’ (seriously, most of these people are just Bill Clinton neoliberals) commentators constantly trashing the NRA because they didn’t defend Castillo (as they should), while remaining silent as the ACLU pushes nationalized healthcare, sues Catholic hospitals because they won’t perform abortions or transgender surgery, and stops defending the natural rights of people because of politics.
Do these neoliberals provide anything of value at this point? In all seriousness
It’s because the left has always been better at playing the long game than the right in this country. They’ll take “good enough” knowing that it makes it easier to get to “perfect” later down the road, while the right generally won’t. Politics is a tool for the left, whereas it’s a representation of ideals for the right. The SJW wing of the Progressives are the exception, but because the foundation has been laid patiently over the past decades by the more mainstream left their brand of radically identitarian politics has some traction.
You know the woman you linked to is ENB’s right hand woman, right?
Anyways, f*** the NRA for the exact reason she states. And f*** the ACLU too, for pretty much everything over the past decade.
When the fascist anti-gun mob came for the NRA I said nothing because the NRA is inconsistent in its support of the 2nd Amendment…
They should have thought of that before they went “all in on Trump”. They basically took Planned Parenthood’s strategy of becoming a all-in partisan group and then pretending like that isn’t the case.
Which, by the way, you will absolutely NEVER hear a cosmo ever utter even the slightest criticism of Planned Parenthood and they get their money, in part, from government. Neoliberalism is not libertarianism
The Castile thing is in a long line, lasting several years, of the NRA being copsuckers at a cost to law-abiding gun owners. They’re more or less Dunphy.
Also what Just Say’n said.
(we need an edit function)
And I dropped my membership in the NRA several years ago because of it.
I thought her husband was her right hand woman?
Then, he’d have to use his left hand to fingerslam her.
He’s making her a sandwich as we speak.
I actually saw this Tweet because I was reading Nick Sarwark’s timeline, which is so bad- so incredibly bad. You could literally take his timeline, cross out the name and just say that it’s Hillary Clinton’s timeline and the only thing someone would say is “I didn’t know Hillary was into stoicism?”. Literally everything on Sarwark’s timeline is two ticks to the left of George Will- that’s how bad it is.
My favorite song about stalking a Stripper:
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch ’em through the glass
Well I’d stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet
And sometimes even now, when I’m feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Dang it! Well, I could think of Worse Earworms
Problematic song
Did Barry White do anything that isn’t problematic?

He may have a libertarian streak somewhere, but he’s an authoritarian at heart, which is why I still want him to go away.
Accidental Libertarian President ™ sort-of strikes again.
“I still want him to go away.”
The president or CNN? Because I’d choose all of the above. I will say, though, that he was elected by the country and deserves to serve his term. But, he is pissing me off with his bullshit gun control.
Damn right.
Gun control, protectionism, we are still in the fucking middle east. My elation at herself losing has worn off. He’s just another douchebag politician to me now.
You left DA OPIATES11!!!
Left out
That too. it’s hard to keep track of all the shit that the government does that pisses me off
We should take your property and wealth Donny whether we have a right to or not.
Follow-up quote
In other words, Trump’s adopting the D platform on guns now.
Which will gain him zero goodwill with progressives, even though he thinks it will. Idiot
Shit that was his most redeeming quality, that he knows they’ll hate him no matter what so he DGAF
4D Chess = i guarantee some lefties will start shrieking, “Now he’s breaking the law!” and inadvertently start defending 2nd amendment
Tin foil hat now tuned to 8.
So some teacher just fired a gun in a class. Right after Trump says teachers should have option of being armed.
Listening to my apoplectic coworkers, I thought Trump just shot up a school so I had to look it up.
What it a gay frog teacher?
Really late to the party, but our pals from MB are always good for a couple offensive tunes.
Like this.
Or this.
Guess what I was listening to at the gym?
He may have a libertarian streak somewhere, but he’s an authoritarian at heart, which is why I still want him to go away.
Trump is stuck in 1970s New York City Superpredator mode.
So some teacher just fired a gun in a class.
Fire torpedoes, all tubes!
SO MUCH FOR YOUR GOOD GUY WITH A GUN!
I’m getting a little bit into tin foil hat territory now with this too.
If that lesbian girl and the Lou diamond Phillips kid were in that school, then I’ll go to 10.
I never had a gun and have no idea even how to get one in this state, but I’m gonna have to look into it.
Steps to getting one in urban jersey?
You’re in United Soviet Socialist Republic of Jersey? I don’t know specifically, but it’s ridiculous; almost as bad as California.
Yeah, and I get to pay NY and NJ taxes for working 3 miles from my apt. It’s a glorious place to reside.

Your choice for a problematic Stones song isn’t ‘Some Girls’ and this is problematic.
I thought that was so obvious that I figured someone already mentioned it, so I didn’t bother.
I agree.
