News Update
(Language Warning 4:00+ LGBTHIV activists and assault)

The murderer may not have robbed the bank. It sounded like another violent mental case.
The short report brings up a couple good points.

My personal opinion is that the social engineers know how to manipulate unstable and wicked people who have a chip on their shoulder they won't let go.
Just recently, LGBTQHIV violence was condoned by some politicians and big news outlets. That propaganda was clearly timed to enflame these types to more violence. They did the same with the BLM movement.
I'm guessing that it's meant to distract from the escalation of probable war and other major issues that are meant to make the insiders wealthier.

Are they not all black powder based in terms of ignition? I've met gun qualified people before, even seen cartridge cases built from primer, powder, a shot and a brass casing. What it is, it's the mechanical applied physics to cause the falling hammer to ignite the primer, and the mechanism for causing rapid fire from a larger chamber holding more bullets. I actually own the milling tool, the drills. A forge is outside of my property ownership status, but I'm also aware that individual parts can be purchased.
sorry for the delay.... I got sidetracked...
Actually, there are two kinds of gunpowder.... the original, "black powder" was invented by the Chinese, I think. It is a mixture of charcoal, sulpher, and saltpeter. It is technically an explosive... if you put a pile of it down, and hit it with a hammer, it will go bang. Firearms that use black powder are usually called "muzzle-loaders" because you load them from the front (muzzle) of the gun.

The other, modern type of gunpowder is called "smokeless" powder. It is not explosive, it is flammable. When burned, it produces MUCH less smoke than black powder does. ... hence the name. This powder is put into brass cartridge cases for convenient carry and loading.

That's just a very brief, basic explanation of gunpowder.

Some of my light 38 special loads, using my cutsie little 107gr cast bullet that I powder coated. These actually shoot pretty well in my snubbie, with very little recoil.... this light load gives me basically .380 performance from my snubbie....

The year ten six six comes to mind .:unsure:. Gunpowder was invented by Chinese
Taoist alchemists about 1000 A.D. when they tried to find a potion to gain
human immortality by mixing elemental sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter.


How ironic!!!

I've been looking at pellet guns instead of a firearm....

Firearms are noisy and must be fired outside the city limits....and I'm inside the city limits.

However pellet guns are completely legal and go up to sizes that can take down an elk or deer or even moose.

I just want the raccoons to find new stomping grounds.

All kinds of designs and options....from single shot to magazines that hold many shots. No gun registration registration but the fps is awesome.

Considering that I'll likely only get two shots off if I use a gas system....I'm looking at a gas ram or CO² system (sig saur)....maybe I can spray and pray to get it.

There was only one Racoon yesterday but today he brought his buddy. Grrrrrrr
