 Remington 12ga #4 Buckshot Ballistics Gel Test - Best Home Defense Load? 🇺🇸
Mrgunsngear Channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6cmGHz-4O4

I saw a comment that Mrgunsngear had a gel test for #4 buck on his channel.  Found this one.  About halfway into the video, you can see the gel block.  Looks like no shot went all the way through the block.  The shot is smaller, but that is a lot of wound tracks.

Federal #1 buck with flight control wad.

A good demonstration of why people like 12 gauge for home defense.

Well, as a supply/demand/timing matter, they possibly are already, actually* but I guess you mean the ones that will be "discovered" when the counting in November starts to show a "non-liberal" majority, yes?

"But there's no proof of voting fraud!"

To that, I say:

1.There is no proof without evidence.
2. There is no evidence without investigation.
3. There is no investigation without suspicion.
4. But suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative.

They wrapped all that up in a nice little package, right?

* Or at least in terms of lining up printing contractors and settling on formatting.  i don't know how that works and how it might differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  "Well, we've got 12,825 voters in our county, so get ready to print out 38,000 or so ballots.  Could you deliver them to the Party Headquarters by September 20th?"

.... I'm not so sure that's a funny joke.....

I think I heard Georgia was going to require water marked and serial numbered ballots.  The serial number seems like one of the better ideas I have heard.  At least the voting machine scanners could be set up to log that number with every vote.  At least force cheaters to do more than just re-run the same ballots.  It is absurd how easy it is to cheat in some states.

Would you recognize her in a grocery store? That's even if she has ever even set foot in one

Claire McCaskill Claims Fellow Grocery Shopper Begged Her to Stop Trump from Returning to White House

A couple of good comments from that link.   =D

One way you know this is bullshit is Claire McCaskill doesn’t go to grocery stores.

Imagine how wealthy a neighborhood you’d need to live in where the top concern for grocery shoppers is Donald Trump.

Speaking of Boeing

And there's the Starliner update. No new launch date:

NASA: "NASA, Boeing, and  ULA are forgoing the Saturday, May 25 launch attempt for NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test. The team has been in meetings for two consecutive days, assessing flight rationale, system performance, and redundancy. There is still forward work in these areas, and the next possible launch opportunity is still being discussed.

NASA will share more details once we have a clearer path forward."

New FOIA docs are dropping. DOJ authorized use of deadly force for Mar a Lago raid.

That entire case is ridiculous.  Heavily underscores how easily judges will issue search warrants.  Also makes it laughable when LE agencies argue they shouldn't need search warrants.  They are all rubber stamped anyway.  And we also see that federal judges won't punish anyone for exceeding the warrant.

Alleged? Really? Can they name anything else that could have caused damage like that?
Well to be fair to NBC it could have been this guy

Climate Change of course. What else could it be? Because you know this has never happened before in the history of flying, never.
