GUN PORN BLATHERING

The Survivalist Blog just came out with an article “rectifying the mistakes he made by listening to the supposed experts”.  Yukon Mike was the author.  Normally I would leave well enough alone because guns are like your preference in women.  It suits you and you alone and you can talk until you are blue in the face and that won’t change anyone else’s mind.  If you like big gals, you can explain how they are excellent heaters in the winter and wonderful shade in the summer, but if your buddy likes anorexic gals because they are cheaper to feed he is not going to be swayed by your argument.  Alas, I’m in a pretty pissy mood today and I’m sure you need a break from the last week of lack of variety in my articles, so I decided to dive right in.  Once again, as if by continually reciting the allegation you can make it come true ( “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home” “I must, I must, I must increase my bust” “I am confident and forceful, I am confident and sure” ) there was the “get a rimfire because the rounds are so cheap”.  God, people!  Rimfire is an endangered artifact of the failing Industrial Age.  I don’t care if you can, occasionally, get your first cousin Ralf who works in the receiving dock at Wal-Mart to notify you when two cases comes in and you can get there first and buy it at a discount.  That doesn’t count.  The days of anyone, anytime, walking into any gun shop and buying three cent round 22’s is over and gone forever.

 It is the corpse of Peak Oil ( in our case currently, $100 barrel oil which is not cheap under any definition ) and Resource Depletion ( ores are running out AND those that remain are in small enough concentrations that only a lot of fuel can extract them ).  If fuel is dear, than so are ores.  It is simple math.  Just because at the start of the machine age you could stumble over a boulder of pure copper doesn’t mean any of those are left.  When oil was $20, you could extract the diffuse copper ore and fuel and transportation costs were negligible and you could throw away brass cases and buy three cent replacements.  That can’t happen with $100 oil.  And, even at five times the old cost, eventually brass will still run out.  It is a finite planet.  To keep denying that, we kid ourselves that other things like food and water won’t run out or be outbid from us.  And if that isn’t bad enough, he thinks a 308 battle rifle in an AR platform is a good idea.  For half that price, you could get a 762x54r new semi auto.  Wonder which one would jam on you first?  Wonder which one uses ammo that cost three times the price?  Just because every swinging cheese dingus out there is using 308 doesn’t mean you should.  They aren’t going to barter you for it ( so unless you are planning on stealing it… ) and every time there is a shortage, that is the round that disappears.  If you have a problem with imported ammo, even changing the rifle is still a better idea.  At a cheaper price, you can get an HK-91 type rifle.  It is far and away better than an AR for reliability.  Have AR fans ever actually been in the field with their rifle of choice?
