Guns & Ammo Pricing: 1986 VS 2026.................Guest Post

 Hi Theo,

Recently, I became curious about gun and ammo pricing from the 1980s. So, I did the only logical thing and put in a purchase request for a DeLorean to go back and check the prices myself. Apparently our Accounting Department has a strict “no time machines” policy (who knew?). 

So, instead, I was forced to dig through a dusty stack of old gun magazines, pricing guides, and dealer sales sheets to compare popular firearms and calibers with what they cost today. There were a few surprises, especially when it comes to ammo and how its pricing and availability have changed over the past 40 years.

Anyway, I thought it might make a useful reference for you or a resource for your readers if you want to share it. You can read the full article at the link below:

NOYFB ...............from Rico

 Land of the Free? Pull my other leg. It has bells on it.

 

Big Brother is Watching, and none of it is any of his fucking business!

- Snowden had it right.

 

France just banned WINDOWS from 2.5 million government computers after MSFT locked the International Court Chief Investigator out of his e-mails overnight.

- France has ordered every Ministry to ditch WINDOWS, TEAMS, and ZOOM switching to LINUX.

- Denmark has dumped MSFT OFFICE.

- Germany has moved 30,000 PC's to LINUX.

 

Why?

[?] Every e-mail on Gmail or Outlook is subject to US Law.

[?] GOOGLE and OneDrive are US companies. The CLOUD ACT applies to everything stored on them. [I've moved to a local drive and air-gapped USB's.

[?] iMessage and WhatsApp are US companies. I won't use them. [SIGNAL is end-to-end encrypted and stores nothing.]

[?] MSFT OFFICE. Everything you do in WORD, EXCEL, or POWERPOINT passes through MSFT servers. [Say "hello" to LIBRE OFFICE.]

[?] Browsers. Chrome IS Google. Every search, site, and tab is reported back. [I use BRAVE which does not send browsing data/history to US companies.]

 

Bottom line: Until that fat venal Commie traitor HMF [Her Marxist Filthiness] is hung by HER thumbs for that unsecure private home server handling SECRET+ material and selling us down the river for fun and profit (pay to play) I have no reasonable expectation of fair and honest dealing under the current two-tier US legal system.

Not Shown and Never Discussed ..............from Rico

 Some would say that with or without a 19th Amendment (de Facto or de Jure) Western civilization is doomed to fail.

 

Others, that ascending cultures are those who do NOT listen to their women, while failing cultures not only DO listen to them, but follow their advice.

 

Not discussed in re the attached is 'the end of the ride' where they are all robbed, five are raped, three are beaten, and two are beheaded.

 

And these virtue-signaling suicidal cultural empaths ALL vote Democrat (C) ...

 

I would follow the advice of any of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders before giving any credence to someone with uncontrollable raging hormonal imbalances.

What the flocking FLOCK? ...................from Rico

 Yet another reason to love the "Free State of Florida" ...

 

Gov DeSantis just ordered the shut down of ALL FLOCK cameras in the State of Florida within 30 days.

- The other 49 States not so much...'ya bitches!

Fauci: Proof that crime pay$ .................from Rico

 The ONLY consequences for Fauci thus far has been his enrichment.

- No charges, no perp walk, no consequences, no shit.

 

He got filthy RICH, the people he fucked-over got damaged and/or dead.

OSINT July 2026 ................from Rico

 It must somehow be an 'oversight' that our media whores and presstitutes have been silent as the tomb about collateral damage to 'our' side from the Iranian "Special Operation" ... otherwise one would have to think that [as with Ukraine] the first casualty of WAR is the truth.

Resisting the "SAVE Act?" Fine, there's another fix ...................from Rico

 It wasn't just Arizona, it was everywhere they had corrupted the electoral process enough they could do it.

 

To badly paraphrase Solzhenitsyn:

 

We know the Dem's stole 2020

The Dem's know they stole 2020

They know we all know they stole 2020

They knew of course that we would find evidence they stole 2020 but they stole it anyway.

 

The Amerikanski Bolsheviki [D] understands that you can vote yourself (or you can be 'voted') into Socialism/Communism, but never does anyone get to 'vote' their way out of it.

- Why else 'rig' elections and fight tooth-and-nail against the election reform legislation currently stalled in a useless and feckless CONgress? 

 

PS - They've already 'run out the clock' on the midterms, having left no time to effectively implement enough reforms and remedies to keep them from stealing what may well be the last 'election' Americans see.

Islam is messin' with Texas ...............from Rico

 ...well, not just Texas, but the entire US of A.

 

Bill Maher was famously right in his observation of Islam when he said it was the only religion in the world that would kill you if you disagreed with them.

- Admiral "Ace" Lyons was more correct in his appraisal of Islam when he called it 'a death cult masquerading as a religion.'

Queen Vicky's sun has long since set ..............from Rico

 I don't know who thought the idea sounded good, but have to say the Left (which has never been right about a single thing) to this day likes to spout off about "decolonisation" like that's somehow a good thing.

 

When you cannot tell from looking at this photo whether you're looking at the former-Rhodesia, South Africa, or Baltimore the should tell anyone with two wits to rub together something.

 

Looking at 'Injuh' and their other former colonies in their current condition makes a solid argument for "recolonisation" ...but who remains in the nearly extinct civilized world to take up the burden?

- The formerly-known-as-Great Britain has itself been colonised by its former colonies and Islamized into the bargain so is in no condition to save itself much less the benighted third world by reconstituting Queen Victoria's empire upon which the sun once never set.

 

The sun is setting on what remains of Western civilisation and the barbarians on the fringes are smearing cow shit in their hair for decoration

From delivering votes to stealing elections .................from Rico

 The USPS looks like it played a significant role in rigging/stealing our elections.

 

Forget that happy horse shit about 'neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers...' so what's a tiny thing like election integrity to career .gov employees?

 

Remember them when they ask for their NEXT postal rate hike!

Those tattoos leave a mark cheeseheads ...............from Rico

 Wisconsin 'the cheese state' looks like it has been well and truly FLOCKED (something I've suspected for a long while now anyway), and unless it can be more like Vlad and come up with a better use for these weapons of mass invasion of privacy they are going to get tattooed next.

MAGA vs RINO vs COMMIE .................from Rico

 Bob Dylan once had a song called "The times they are changin" and today we see that being played out before our eyes.

 

   RINOs have been replaced by MAGA

and

    Democrats have been replaced by goddamn 

 COMMIES

NTSHM, PSM, CWM, LSM or All of them? ...............from Rico

 You will NOT hear anything about this from that guy Ricky Maddow, or from the Lame Stream Media (which I now call the Propaganda Stream Media, although a better monickers may be Nothing To See Here Media or Clown World Media).

 

You know them. They told us Russia would run out of artillery shells in two weeks vis Ukraine almost five years ago, and 2020 was THE most 'free and fair' election in US history, and other malarky.

- Gee, why on earth would I put more faith in something from the Russian media than in something ours never deigns to mention?

This would be funny were it not true ..................from Rico

 Ronaldus Maximus said it more elegantly than I'm about to when he said "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant. It's just that they know so much that just isn't so."

 

Take, for example,  the tranny Democrat who is running for a Maine Senate seat.*

- This guy claims he has menstrual (hahahahahahaha...I can't help but laugh here) periods through his rectum, which is patently untrue because that is where he/she speaks from.

 

My only question is "does his/her ass ever get jealous of the shit that comes out of his/her mouth?"

 

Belay that. Here's another question: Was Platner the Nazi and sex abuser the candidate he/she was chosen to replace (Platner) actually a better candidate for the Democrats (C)?

 

*In all fairness: The Republicans are offering Susan Collins (again), so there's that bit of stupidity from them also.

We'd be better off with dogs ...............from Rico

 CONgress has become the most useless, worthless, and self-serving branch of government...constantly demonstrating the wisdom of Cicero who observed that politicians are not made, but excreted.

 

Like Mark Twain, I appreciate and value my dog more and more every day.

 

Our legislature would be better off populated by dogs, and so would we be better off.

 

Hear me out. There is a local community near me that runs itself and has no government.

- One year someone decided a mayor was needed and they ran for office.

- The community did not agree and ran a dog as a competing mayoral candidate.

- The dog won. Not only that election, but several until the obviously 'slow learner' gave up their efforts to run the town.

- The town ran just fine, is still there and running just fine, and the dog retired from office.

- There is no mayor to this day!

Diversity? KMA ..............from Rico

It was not that long ago when Scott Adams [Dilbert] was pilloried mercilessly for saying words to the effect that 'white people should stay the hell away from black people.'

 

He was punished for NOTICING and COMMENTING upon the behavior of a "protected class" for calling it what it is and not knuckling-under to the Libturds that presume to tell us what to think and what to say.

 

A tip o' the hat to Paul Joseph Watson for saying "Lack of diversity is only a problem when there is an abundance of white people."

Rigor Tortoise? ..............from Rico

 Mark Twain often said 'if you don't read the newspaper you're uninformed, if you do you're misinformed.'

 

What is laughingly called 'news' today has been FAKE and GAY for so very long, we have the worst of both worlds...uninformed and misinformed.

 

Now add AI into that mix.

Will heads REALLY roll, or................from Rico

 We don't have long to wait to find out IF heads will REALLY roll, or if this will be another wet fart.

- There are a lot of treasonous shitweasels that need to be dealt with.

Horse feathers or Horse Sense: Was This A GENIUS Move? ..............from Rico

 The Gov of South Carolina has appointed Miss Graham's little sister [age 62?] to fill his Senate vacancy.

 

I suspect some may regard this in the context of Gaius Caesar Germanicus [Caligula] wanting to make his favorite horse Incitatus* a Roman Senator [spoiler: he didn't, dying before he could make it happen but many Sentors then -as now- would better serve their constituencies were they actually horses or at least had a horse's sense (horse sense), instead of merely being horse's asses].

 

My take on today's Senate appointment news is completely different.

- Is this a GENIUS move? IF so, then I say AWESOME!

 

Little sister's career has been helping mentally challenged people find meaningful employment/work.

- CONgress then is a target-rich environment for her...Hell, over half of the Senate is at best retarded and one hopes they will need to be placed in a new work environment after this year's election.

 

*Incitatus: Incited

Known by the company they kept ...................from Rico

 "A man is known by the company he keeps" -  AESOP

 

Remember the transvestite Biden [aka Obama 3.0] put in charge of nuclear waste. [Yeah, that one who liked to steal luggage from airport carousels.]? How about the rest of the perverts and deviants that made the Village People look straight that were assembled?

 

The presstitues and media whores are strangely silent about Team Trump. Their silence speaks volumes [read: they are fake and gay Commies].

 

Hegseth has two battlefield Bronze Stars. Vance was a MARINE. Rubio is the son of two immigrants (a bartender and a hotel maid). Susie Wiles is smarter than any registered Democrat (including the 'ragin' cajun'), and the list goes on ad infinitum.

 

NONE of them are of the 'victim class' [ahem...the lesbian Haitian press secretary] or the 'favorite sons' [ahem...Hunter] or 'Marxist Queens' [ahem...HMF Her Marxist Filthiness Hillary] and the list goes on ad nauseum.

 

ALL of Trump's picks are nobody specials or "don't you know who I am?" smug ignoranuses like those elevated under Obama 3.0, but rather people like you and I. "Normies" as the pompous Libtards like to call us (or "Libturds" as I like to call them).

- While I have nothing against the horses they all rode in on, fuck all Commies!

BOHICA America! ................from Rico

 Well SHIT!

 

When you realize "Mitch" has been completely out of the picture since 6-14 [read: he's not coming back.], and that Miss Graham is dead...you also realize that the Republican majority in the US Senate is GONE!

 

The four Republicans In Name Only Thune, Tillis, Murkowski, and Collins are reliably Democrat votes, making the total remaining Republican votes 46.

- Versus 45 Democrats and the 2 Independents that caucus with them plus the above 4 RINO's = 51 votes.

 

And here I thought the Senate was useless before. BOHICA*  America!

 

*Bend Over Here It Comes Again

Enjoying AC while you enjoy your Bidets ..................from Rico

 I can add very little to this, apart from a miniscule guilt that I have my AC set at 78F which nicely dehumidifies the place as well ...

 

But don't be jealous, EUroland is only a few steps from using their left hands instead of a bidet...so who 'needs' the comforts of AC and TP anyway?

- Diversity isn't your strength mate!

Turtle-boy OR China-boy? ..............from Rico

 Turtle-boy Mitch has been a worthless/useless POS to his constituents and the American people for his entire career.

 

That seems NOT to be the case for his owners and handlers in Beijing if you follow the money and his abysmal track-record in CONgress.

- He is looking more-and-more like China-boy.

 

Unbelievable? Consider Swallowswell and FangFang...

Jackasses ................from Rico

 Neither Harry Truman nor JFK would recognize Democrat Party in any American sense. They have gone full-on Communist Soviet Thugs.

 

Living up to their party's mascot, the JACKASS...[def: (noun) a male donkey; a contemptibly stupid person; blockhead.]
