It’s Good To Be A Cow!

Posted on Friday, 11 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

It’s Friday, the weekend is upon us, the government is still shut down and the Democrats are still insisting that walls don’t work. It’s also time for our weekly shoot the shit.

A shoot the shit is a form of social interaction among individuals who may know nothing about the subject being discussed, like the House Democrats, where you can make unsupported statements, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether.

So let’s get started.

Narendra Damodardas Modi is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current Prime Minister of India since 2014. Well, Prime Minister Modi has been encouraging Indians to protect cows. As you know, cows are sacred to religious Hindus, something I could never figure out because a large percentage of the Indian population, especially in the outer states are going hungry. The move to protect cows by tightening cow protection laws has devastated India’s Muslim community who rely on beef for nutrition, employment and exports accounting for $4 billion in business.

I respect, an individual’s right to their brand of religiosity, but tighter cow protection laws may have unexpected consequences for India if Ann Navaro and Rosie O’Donell decide to make the country their new home!

Image result for Ann Navarro

Image result for rosie o'donnell

A couple of class acts!

Moving right along, the newly elected House member from the state of New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, wants to increase taxes on the wealthy. The only problem is that she is clueless on how a progressive tax works. I don’t know about you readers, but I have never worked for a poor person and employment prospects have always improved when the sources of capital are incentivized to start and grown existing businesses. When that happens personal incomes rise, crime drops, quality of life improves, the government’s tax base grows and communities are revitalized.

I can get over a lack of knowledge, but there’s no telling what else she has rattling around in her head and for that reason we placed her on the dark side of The Force.

I’ll bet you Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney have a little Santeria aimed at Congresswoman Cortez.

Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi made a joint statement immediately after President Trump`s Border Security speech. Folks, whoever staged their photo op should never be allowed behind a camera lens ever again.

Image result for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi

In the now infamous photo, Nancy and Chuck look a little like a husband and wife team. Consistent with Chuck’s face, there’s an old Jewish joke that says it all here:

“Why do Jewish men predecease their wives?” “Be cause they want to.”

Readers 2019 and 2020 are going to be challenging years, so stay alert, stay engaged and fight the good fight. Other than that, hey there’s only 11 days until Shot Show 2019!

Have a great weekend be safe and spend quality time with your buds and family!

SIG SAUER Releases Pivoting Contour Brace

Posted on Thursday, 10 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 9, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. today released the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace (PCB) accessory to be included with variants of the SIG MCX and SIG MPX series rifles, and available for purchase separately as an accessory.

The new SIG SAUER PCB has a sturdy I-Beam design and features a 360-degree pivoting arm articulation, 1913 rail mounting interface, and folds flat for easy storage leaving the controls easily accessible. The brace is available in black and coyote tan.

“This new pivoting contour brace has been reengineered to increase functionality” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, “The minimalist design of the brace makes it lightweight, and by design there are more points of contact between the brace and the user increasing control for better accuracy, while the 360-degree pivoting arm only enhances the overall user-friendliness of the brace to enhance the shooting experience.”

Recently the new SIG SAUER PCB Brace was featured at the Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) National Family Day Learn to Shoot Again event at San Antonio Police Academy in San Antonio, Texas. Rick Cicero, Manager and Lead Instructor for the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again Program commented, “with the SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace I was able to easily move through the stages of a challenging course of fire easily alternating the angle of my SIG MCX and adjusting for target position and barrier placement.”

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the SIG SAUER PCB will be donated to the HAVA Learn to Shoot Again program.

The SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace is available for purchase at sigsauer.com/store.

MSRP: $199.00

Trailblazer® Firearms Introduces the LifeCard .22 WMR Pocket Pistol

Posted on Thursday, 10 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Visit Trailblazer® Firearms at SHOT Show 2019 at Booth 2262

The newest model in the diminutive folding, single-shot pistol line will be unveiled at SHOT Show 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 -25, 2019.

Asheville, N.C. (January 2019) – Trailblazer® Firearms will be exhibiting at Booth 2262 during SHOT Show 2019, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 22 – 25, 2019, and will introduce firearms retailers to their newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR folding, single-shot pistol.

The company, Trailblazer Firearms, headquartered in the western part of North Carolina, home to many companies developing some of the leading machining technologies in the US, launched the LifeCard .22 LR folding, single-shot pistol in late 2017. The tiny pocket pistol filled the void between an EDC and a utility tool designed to eliminate vermin. Small enough to fit into the ubiquitous 5^th pocket of a pair of Levi’s®, the LifeCard took on a life of its own and exceeded company sales projections in its first year on the market.

The newest model, the LifeCard .22 WMR, came as a result of customer requests and the company’s commitment to only producing products that met their high level of quality in form, function and performance. The new .22 WMR will provide customers with the advantage of a more powerful cartridge without compromising the tiny overall size and shape.

“It took us seven years to bring the initial LifeCard concept to market,” Aaron Voigt, founder and president of Trailblazer Firearms, said. “We are in no hurry to create product that does not pass our rigorous testing or have the demand in the marketplace. The .22 WMR passed both criteria and we are proud to add this new model to our LifeCard line.”

Trailblazer Firearms LifeCard .22 WMR Specifications:

Caliber: .22 WMR
Action: Single-Action, Single-Shot
Length: 3.375 inches
Height: 2.125 inches
Width: 0.5 inches
Weight: under 7 oz.
Barrel: Steel, Tilt-Up
Frame: Aluminum (includes folding handle)
Features: Ambidextrous, built-in safety features, ammo storage in handle for 3 rounds
MSRP: $399

Nexbelt to introduce its "new & improved" EDC ratchet style gun belts at 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas

Posted on Wednesday, 9 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

(RANCHO CUCAMONGA) – Nexbelt, “The Gun Belt With No Holes”, announced today that they will be exhibiting in the SHOT Show POP-UP section of the 2019 SHOT Show on Wednesday, January 23rd in Booth W1544.

Nexbelt will be showcasing their new & improved TITAN, ROGUE, DEFENDER and BOND Series ratchet-style gun belts for 2019.

Nexbelt’s EDC ratchet-style gun belts feature a unique ratcheting system called Precise-Fit that allows the wearer to adjust his or her belt in ¼ inch increments instead of the normal 1 inch adjustment that a traditional belt with a pin/buckle system allows. This ability to “fine-tune” a belt in ¼ inch increments not only provides unprecedented comfort, but is especially important for those practicing open or concealed carry. Having just the right amount of tension to safely secure your firearm is critical, and the ability to quickly switch from an IWB (inside the waistband) holster to an OWB (outside the waistband) holster is something that no other gun belt offers. This belt is great for light duty tactical or every day carry and is much more comfortable than a normal rigger belt.

The nylon strap of our TITAN belt (available in Black, Grey, Green, Tan and Coyote) is made of a super-high density microfiber material that is an advanced composite of ultra-fine polyester fibers.

Auto-Ordnance Introduces "I Stand" 1911

Posted on Monday, 7 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

(Greeley, PA) – Thompson Auto-Ordnance, maker of the famous “Tommy Gun” and other classic firearms throughout history, is excited to introduce the “I Stand” Custom 1911.
In a time period where some in America may have forgotten the true meaning of sacrifice, Kahr Firearms Group is paying tribute to those who truly gave all for America. The “I Stand” 1911 honors all those who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country. For this reason, the phrase “All Gave Some, Some Gave All” is engraved on the dust cover. At Kahr Firearms Group, we stand for the National Anthem, and behind the men and women who keep us free. Thus the words “I Stand” are engraved on the right side of the slide. “Freedom Is Not Free” is engraved on the left side of the slide, a powerful reminder of the many who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The American Flag is on the right grip, and the left grip depicts a battlefield memorial for a fallen warrior. The finish is a worn Cerakote in black and gray. Underneath is the same made in the USA, Auto-Ordnance GI 1911 that you know and trust.
Each pistol is a 5”, GI pattern 1911, chambered in .45 ACP. The slide, sear, and disconnector are machined from solid bar stock, properly heat treated for many thousands of rounds of reliable shooting. The sights, safety, trigger, and beavertail are GI pattern. Unlike GI guns, all Auto-Ordnance 1911s are precisely machined to modern standards. This guarantees that the GI 1911 may look like the original, but will shoot with a degree of accuracy far superior to the military guns. Owning the “I Stand 1911” gives the modern shooter a chance to own a piece of history, while making a powerful statement in support of the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price preserving our freedom.
The “I Stand” 1911 (1911BKOC1) comes with a 7-round magazine and has an MSRP of $1,313. Contact your local firearms dealer to purchase.
Bangers USA is the exclusive distributor for the “I Stand” 1911. Dealers can contact them directly at 800-226-4377 to order, or visit www.bangersusa.com to learn more.
Kahr Firearms Group and Outlaw Ordnance worked closely together on the “I Stand” 1911 and other custom projects.

Buck Knives Partners with Taylor Guitars

Posted on Monday, 7 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

Famous Buck favorites now featuring genuine ebony handles

Post Falls, ID — Friday, January 4, 2019– Buck Knives, leader in sports cutlery, is excited to partner with Taylor Guitars, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium acoustic guitars, and take part in their efforts using a sustainable supply model for genuine Ebony handles on its key heritage products.
As of January 1, 2019, Ebony wood will be offered on the following Buck models:
110 Folding Hunter (standard & finger-grooved)
110 Auto
112 Ranger (standard & finger-grooved)
112 Auto
101 Hunter
Ebony wood was originally introduced on the 110 and 112 models in the 1960’s, but in the
1990’s, federal regulations on endangered woods led Buck to utilize resin treated woods.
Harvested under Taylor’s thriving conservation project, Buck will again employ the use
of ebony, a natural material with beautiful grain patterns that provides customers with a
nearly indestructible knife handle.
“We are excited for this opportunity to work with Taylor Guitars,” said Chris Brooks, Director of Brand Management at Buck Knives. “Buck Knives was built on old-fashioned values with a commitment to quality, reliability, and preservation of our resources for future generations. We are excited to help support Taylor’s Ebony Project, one Buck at a time.”
For more information on the Ebony Project, visit www.taylorguitars.com/ebonyproject/

About Buck Knives
Behind every Buck knife is over 100 years of experience and craftsmanship. The very best materials and state-of-the-art technology are used to create knives that meet the exacting demands expected of a high-quality knife. Buck stands behind every knife made with their famous Forever Warranty.

Welcome to 2019 U.S.A. !

Posted on Friday, 4 January, 2019 by twobirdsflyingpub

I hope you’ve all had an awesome Holiday Season and that Santa filled your stocking with all the goodies you’ve always wanted. It’s nice to have you back.

So, here we are and today is Friday; therefor, time for our weekly shoot the shit. As many of you have noticed, a good shoot the shit is, by far, better than therapy. Why? about 60% of all college students majoring in psychology are doing so to understand themselves. So, imagine getting life advice from someone who is trying to figure themselves out. Imagine sitting in front of Dr. Ford, of recent Senate Judiciary Committee fame! Disgusting!

In a short span of boredom, I created a XXX version of her testimony. Here it is…

“ I knew that soon Brett would want me. Boy was I right! I heard him crashing through the bedroom door with lust in his shimmering blue eyes and his bulbous member in hand. I fought but it was hopeless and succumbed to his passionate advances”

Anyway, shoot the shits are social interactions where none of the participants need to know anything about the subject or subjects being discussed. During a shoot the shit, you can make unsupported statements, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether. Even better is the fact that you won’t have to pay some jackass $150, or more, per hour. There’s a reason why most insurance companies won’t pay for mental health services.

On to today’s topic…

Image result for border wall pictures

I support our President on the border wall (barrier) as a first line of defense in providing border security. I find it extraordinarily embarrassing that we have expensive elected officials, who clearly don’t know the difference between a screw driver or pair of pliers, call a wall ineffective. Really? We secure embassies, military installations, government sites and sensitive infrastructure with barriers, yet Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer basically said to DHS Secretary Nielsen ,during a White House meeting, don’t confuse me with facts, my mind is made up and there won’t be a wall. They literally see opposing a wall, barrier or what have you, as denying Trump. The real victims of their insouciance are the Americans and their communities.

Readers, United States drug users are the source of over $200 billion per year in revenues to the drug cartels. In turn, these organizations finance gangs, human trafficking, kidnappings and pay off government officials corrupting all of Central America. Caravan participants are asking for asylum to get away from gang violence in their home countries. So, it seems basic that reducing cartel revenues would positively impact life in those countries. A border barrier would clearly reduce the flow of drugs impacting cartel revenues.

Please digest the data below. We are loosing young people by the truck load from drug use:

In 2017, there were 70,237 drug overdose deaths in the United States up 9.6% from 2016 (CDC data)

Drug usage has an enormous social cost – enforcement, treatment, gang violence, illegal prostitution and a slew of petty crimes; yet, we have a Democrat House that sees denying Donald J. Trump a border barrier as the objective. What they’re doing is denying our citizens and residents the security and safety the government is required to provide.

A border barrier defeats human traffickers, making dangerous journeys that risk the lives of innocent women and children a thing of the past.

Those calling a border barrier ineffective must be forming their opinions from life experiences in environments where RPGs, car bombs, high explosives or bazookas are available breeching tools. The border barrier does not defeat 100% of attempts but it will address 99% of all cases. It’s one layer of border security which is reinforced by thermal imaging, wall sensors and UAV surveillance.

Not funding a border barrier is a vulgar display of political bickering over America’s security.

In closing, I’m going to ask you to contact your Congressman and tell them you support a border barrier, the Border Patrol needs it and America needs the security benefits it’ll provide.

Have a great weekend and let’s us hear from you. We wish you all and extraordinary 2019!

SMYRNA, Ga. – January 2, 2019 Today, GLOCK, Inc. announces two additions to the GLOCK pistol family. The GLOCK 43X and the GLOCK 48 feature the design of the Slimline series with a silver slide and are a perfect fit for everyday carry. Chambered in 9X19, both pistols feature a compact Slimiline frame with silver nPVD finish and a 10-round magazine capacity making them ideal for concealed carry.

These pistols incorporate elements of the Slimline series such as the short trigger distance, a frame with a built-in beavertail, a reversible magazine catch and the incredibly accurate, match-grade GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB).
