Conservative Candidate For Congress Garners Attention, Boners
— Ace

Better than Dale Peterson?

Maybe so, maybe so.

Update: Not an official ad, it has been pointed out, but created by some of her supporters.

Whew. It did seem a bit too to me.

Thanks to ExUrbanKevin for that.

You know, yeah, , yeah. I mean I just wrote a bunch of shit in the other thread about how we need to stop being pussies, but shit, man, wow, a machine gun?!?!

For farg's sake, either we're pussies or we're over-the-top caricatures. Can we find a happy medium???

She emphasizes her 14-year-old kid in her campaign.  Her husband does, however, campaign for her (e.g., appeared in February at a Republican Women's Club event in Phoenix in her stead).

Which, frankly, would be a selling point in her favor....

single, hot, youngish woman, loves guns, and likely to be the next congressman (I refuse to say it in newspeak) from AZ3. 

I'm guessing that there will be some "cloakroom" antics in the next Congress.

Posted by: the peanut gallery at June 29, 2010 01:22 PM (NurK6)

39

AZ-3 ... is that a Dem "safe seat"?

Many of those were drawn up in recent years by GOP legislatures to herd most of the Democrats into 90-10 districts so as to maximize the number of 54-46 GOP districts.

So if you're campaigning in one of those pens, the phrase "snowball in hell" is relevant.

43 She's real, and she's spectacular. We're blessed to have her (and Vernon Parker, and Jonathon Paton, and Ruth McClung, and David Schweikert) running for office in this state. All the national attention seems to be on McCain-Hayworth and Jan Brewer, but the fact is, we've got some first-rate GOP candidates in this state at all levels. Although Pamela Gorman does have some flaws. She likes Glocks. Meh, nobody's perfect.

Maybe Larry doesn't handle firearms.  That would explain the divorce AND her having to conduct the shooting lessons.

"Conservative Christians" (meaning non-denominational protestant) can and often are divorced (some of the highest rates by religious faith).  "Conservative Catholic" might be a little  difficult to pull of with "divorced,"

I don't know anyone who still views divorce as a social stigma politics-wise.

I think that I'll probably wash my arms and burble snot for the next few hours or so.

Exactly. While I know the Lamestream Media Rules apply, namely, that liberals can literally get away with murder and patriots get the book thrown at them for cursing or jaywalking, it's time to realize that we will never have the perfect personal life candidate, and even if we did, s/he would be as exciting as mush.

102 For Deety and Zombie Dog -

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Actually, in most states they're legal to buy, sell, and own, once you do the proper NFA paperwork and fees/taxes. But only for existing guns or certain parts which had already been registered. Manufacturing new ones for us lowly citizens is verboten.

State laws may be more restrictive.

No worries Mike, but for practical purposes, no one here will own one, or two for sure.  Just a full auto trigger group will set you back $15k in most cases. 

No full autos manufactured after 1986 (86?) can be owned by civilians, unless they have a Class III license (I see 3 I's, good).  Of course, when the shit really hits the fan, all the machine guns in the local constabulary might prove to be an inviting stash.

Tommy gun is legal if you have a class 3 license. You can let other people shoot it though. Each full auto has to have it's own license I believe.

Depending on state law, they're legal provided that they were manufactured and registered prior to 1986.  Requires a federal background check and forking over $200 for a "tax stamp".  Those manufactured after 1986 can't be possessed by civilians with the exception of dealers who sell to law enforcement and such.

The result is that an pre-86 NFA registred machinegun is expensive.

Some states prohibit private ownership completely, others allow it provided you meet federal requirements.  Here in MN, only those machineguns classified as "curio and relics" qualify; some Tommy Guns qualify, others don't depending on manufacturer and when they were made.

A divorce, in and of itself, does not indicate that one cannot keep ones house in order.  I think passing judgment based on less that all the facts is somewhat premature.  No?

And, quite frankly, in today's world it isn't a major social stigma, whatever you wish it were.

Whether or not it matters to her would-be constituents is for them to decide and her to guess.  She seems to think that she can overcome any negatives involved.

Not enough oomph isn't the 45 acp's problem. Too much, maybe. I'm not totally up on Thompson history, but I believe that the Tommy's design was capable of much faster rates, but controllability became a problem for the average shooter. Hence, engineering a slower rate of fire.

198 Feelin' your pain, Deety....

Eight years after I had to do the same thing, I still sometimes feel a wash of sorrow that my dog, so uncritically faithful and dedicated to happiness, had to go. Having so many good years with her was/is a consolation, but not always.

I, too, think there must be a special heaven where dogs (and cats) thrive, where they get to live and play through eternity. If we're good enough, some of us may get in -- at least for a visit -- as well.

200

rounds per minute

ah.  Right.  YOu're correct, they averaged 600, but that's a pretty slow cyclic rate.  Must be b/c of the 45 acp cartridge not giving as much ooomph.

10 rounds a second isn't really "slow".  There are sub-machineguns that are faster, but considering how fast they burn through ammo and being magazine-fed, a faster cyclic rate isn't necessarily better.

Keep in mind that it was desined during WW1 when armies still used bolt action rifles and machineguns were large, heavy, crew-served weapons like the Maxim.

201 they averaged 600, but that's a pretty slow cyclic rate.

Full auto is more an area-denial weapon than a kill weapon.  It's meant to pin the other folks in place so you can maneuver on them.  Find 'em, fix 'em, and fuck 'em.  10 rounds a second is more than sufficient for that task.

202 And of course, NO ONE would ever convert an M-14 to full auto... cause its illegal and all... and the parts are easily manufactured...

Practically impossible as the bolt and the lower are not any wheres near the same as a FA M14

I disagree. Our presidential nominations occur in September or even october.

Uh, ace, aren't the Presidential nominations wrapped up for all practical purposes as early as February or March of said election year? Isn't that the problem with front-loaded primaries?

This June primary we just had was for Congressional and stae offices, of course. On Presidential years, they move it back to March.

206 If you want to shoot a revolver accurately you hold the handle with your strong hand and support the barrel by using your weak hand. Place your weak hand under the barrel, grasping the front of  the cylinder.

Try it at your next trip to the range. You'll be amazed at how well it works.

Posted by: Massad Ayoob at June 29, 2010 06:15 PM (7+pP9)

You know, I hate to ruin your prank, but I'd hate to see anyone lose a finger or three, so kids, don't try this at home.

If you can't figure out why, dear audience, remember that there's a gap between the front of the cylinder and the barrel. From that gap emits a jet of scorching hot gases, not unlike a blowtorch.

In more powerful guns, you could actually do enough damage to lose a finger, or at least cripple one.

If this were just an "alt+F4" prank I would have let it slide, but you just KNOW there's someone stupid enough to try that out there somewhere.

I want you to watch the video closely to see what this ditz did wrong.

She held the revolver by the handle with two hands. If you want to shoot a revolver accurately you hold the handle with your strong hand and support the barrel by using your weak hand. Place your weak hand under the barrel, grasping the front of  the cylinder.

Try it at your next trip to the range. You'll be amazed at how well it works.

Yeah, that'll work for exactly one round- after which you'll be going home with a hand injured from gases released from the cylinder gap (gap between the barrel and cylinder).

One thing the ad tells you is that she is not afraid, the way far too many GOP grovellers are! She isn't a John McCain trying to suck up to the media and Washington insiders. That isn't a small thing.

Agreed, but I think there are better ways to achieve that than to show off at the range.  A motivated, passionate candidate who demonstrates the importance of the upcoming election and the tasks that lie ahead, who openly and fearlessly opposes and promises to fight the progressive agenda... now that is something that gets me politically excited.

And thanks to Internet Rule 34 I can find a hotter, naked chick with even better guns any time I want.

216 Divorce isn't an automatic disqualifier in my book, but the circumstances would matter, as they may reflect on the candidate's character. It's one thing to be the person who divorces spouse N while already cheating with spouse N+1 (especially if he does it more than once, Newt), it's another to be the spouse who was abandoned by the cheater. There are other circumstances where divorce would be understandable -- the spouse was abusive, addicted, or insane, for example. I'd have a problem trusting or voting for a "conservative" candidate who divorced because "we grew apart."

Promises are just words.

A lot of people, myself included have heard the speeches from so-called conservatives that evaporate the minute they get what they want. Someone who does something that pisses off the leftist idea of what life should be seems a safer bet. The lefties don't forgive or forget if you wave a red flag in front of them.

heh I too want a candidate who doesn't give a rip about the forgiveness or forgetfulness of the left, and if you really want to get under their skin then do an ad about lowering taxes on those who actually buy stuff and hire people, or envision a 50-foot border fence with a guard tower, or advocate "open season" on jihadists, etc.

If you want to be a gun advocate then maybe run some supportive ads about gun owners who defend their property against intruders or women who shot their would-be rapists (things that residents of a border state probably fear on a daily basis).  Running a video of the candidate shooting a variety of guns only makes her look like a redneck to the undecided voter.

I could carry anything I choose.
I carry a Glock-22 (.40cal)
I put more than ten thousand rounds through it and never had a jam or failure to eject.
The original night sights got dim so I put on Tru-Glo night night sights.(wow)
I put a new barrel, springs throughout and a handful of wear parts.
Still shoots like new.
Best part is getting to nine and still counting six.

238 #206, obviously you know fuck-all about the M14 because there is no lower receiver on the M14. And most semiauto M14 clones, like Springfield Armory's M1A, use GI M14 bolts. If you get a choice, go with TRW.

I have fired at least one of every major Thompson variant. M1921, M1928, M1, M1A1. The M1921 clocks the fastest, some of them running almost 1100 rounds per minute. As the 30-round stick mag didn't exist yet, and the drums are unreliable, yeah, it went through 20-rounders like a porn star with a bag of coke. But the speed allows you to get a good three to five round burst on target before the muzzle has time to think about climbing. No Cutts Compensator either. I found it to be the smoothest ride of any of them.

M1928, also rather nice. Slower, 850-900 rounds per minute. The Cutts Compensator helps, still has that ridiculous Lyman adjustable rear sight.

M1 series has the most useful rear sights, no provision for drum usage, has the charging handle in exactly the wrong place for a right handed shooter, and only runs about 600 RPM. Still faster than a Grease Gun. I can single-shot a Grease gun just on trigger control. Not hard to do.
