I recently posted The Lamps Are Going Out All Over America. For the two of you (likely including DTWND), the reference was to the beginning of World War I, when the politicians realized that the New World that they had created was basically everyone standing is a room filled with gasoline waving lit matches around. We know how that turned out.
My post was not inflammatory; it was sad. Nonetheless, reader DTWND left the following comment:
Those of you on the right are really, REALY [sic] hoping that something in the shooter’s background will tie him to the leftist, liberal side of politics. Meanwhile, you’ll continue to deny and obfuscate the truth that this was one of your own. Just like the group that planned to kidnap Michigan’s governor Whitmer; the guy that shot and killed the two Minnesota legislators: the folks that marched in Charlottesville: the shootings at the LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando: the ‘peaceful demonstators’ [sic] at the Capitol on January 6th; etc.Here is the pertinent part of my original post, and my replied to Mr. DTWND:
I find it telling that all the former presidents, Democrats and Republican, issued messages of condolence, condemnation of the event, and calls to end political violence, while the current president condemned the violence but also expressed the point that those of the left persuasion need to under scrutiny and should not be trusted.
As Mr Kirk had stated, “Prove me wrong.”
Who would have figured 24 years ago that society would be destroyed from within?

If you don't know the people who don't understand that sentence, then they are the ones who you need to not know.
Not particularly well said, but perfectly understandable. And so you clearly failed on multiple levels:
- It sure as shootin' looks like the shooter was a leftist freak. The 72 hour rule applies here, which you either ignored, didn't know, or skated past because you were angry.
- It "wasn't one of our own", it was exactly what you'd expect from a rabid Left baying for the blood of conservatives. See #1, above. Nicely done, getting two own goals from the same ball, though.
- The group that was going to kidnap Governor Crazy Eyes was led by a FBI asset. Sorry you're so behind on this, but not really surprised.
- The rest is IQ-90 level Leftist boilerplate. Ashley Babbit would reply but could not be reached for comment, as she was shot in the back by a Capitor Hill police officer on January 6. Some of us are aware on the rules for the use of Deadly Force; you clearly are not, but thought this was a winning argument for "conservative violence". Dumbass.
- Former Presidents call for the end of political violence? Gosh, why might this be hard to believe?
- Most significantly, you (a) did not reply to the content of my original post and (b) chose to try to insult me and hijack my site for your absurd political dogma.
Fine, then - let it be so. DTWND, go away and don't come back. We don't need your thoughts polluting this site. You're banned. Go hang out with your leftie assassins.
The cost of CFC is so high and the inability to undo on cuts is such that I am machining parts from Delrin first. As an example, there is one piece on the slow motion controller that slides on to either the RA or DEC axis. It needs a hole in the top where a 6-32 screw holds in place and .2" long slots on the sides to allow for some up and down adjustment to get a tight fit of worm gear to spur gear. It needs two holes in the bottom to hold threaded inserts into which screws through the base plate will attach. This results in the following Makefile entries. I will only make two of these but I want them exact matches.

At our club practice this morning, a member asked me a simple question, "Do you consider the .30-06 to be a high-powered rifle cartridge"?
Short answer, yes, I do. I consider the .30-06 to be on the low end of "high-powered". The .30-06 can do a lot of things, and if I had to list all rifle cartridges into three categories, low, medium and high, I would put the .30-06 in the high category. It can be loaded from mild to wild and your mileage might vary, but I consider the .30-06 to be a high-power cartridge.
The conspiracy theories have already started. Example here. I don't subscribe to those theories, but I do acknowledge them.

At 4:10 a.m., Officer Reinhart approached the woodline and identified
himself as Austin Police. He gave multiple commands for the subjects to
stop and to come out of the woods. Officer Reinhart stated that the
subjects were detained and not free to go. The female subject, later
identified as Kay Smith, 12/31/1994, began walking towards Officer
Reinhart. Officer Reinhart gave commands to a male subject behind Ms.
Smith, later identified as Brandon Thompson, 30 years of age, telling
him to get his hands out of his pocket.
Shortly after, Mr. Thompson fired shots, striking Ms. Smith in the head
and Officer Reinhart in the abdomen. Officer Reinhart returned fire. Mr.
Thompson fled on foot back into the wooded area, and Officer Reinhart
waited for backup. Approximately two minutes later, additional officers
arrived on scene. An APD officer transported Officer Reinhart to a local
hospital, and he was treated for his injuries. Ms. Smith was also
transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced braindead at
2:57 p.m. the same day.
APD officers, including SWAT, AIR1, and K9, began searching the area for
Mr. Thompson. At 7:44 a.m., a suspicious person call came in from the
Austin Independent School District Police Department (AISD PD) at Barton
Hills Elementary School. Prior to the call, the school already was in a
“Secure” status. Once Barton Hills Elementary learned that the suspect
was near the campus, the campus went into “Lockdown” status. An AISD
sergeant recognized the person who had the same description as the
suspect involved in the earlier shooting. The sergeant gave verbal
commands to the suspect, such as “Stop, get on the ground,” however, Mr.
Thompson continued to run.
APD officers continued to search for Mr. Thompson. He was spotted by an
APD officer at approximately 7:52 a.m. and fled towards a home in the
2500 block of Homedale Drive. Mr. Thompson kicked open the front door,
ran into the house and the homeowner opened fire, striking him in the
arm and the leg. Mr. Thompson was transported to a local hospital, where
he was treated for his injuries. He is currently in stable condition.
The intruder entered the home located on Katta Drive through a sliding door at the back of the residence. The elderly home owner suspecting his wife had arrived home from church, then heard a man’s voice and retrieved a handgun from his bedroom according to police.
The homeowner explained to authorities he backed into the corner of his bedroom and warned the intruder to “stop”.
Authorities say the intruder advanced toward the homeowner, the homeowner fired multiple shots, killing the intruder.
The shooting unfolded around 11:20 a.m., when a guard was leaving a business in the first block of South State Street and was “approached by an offender who attempted to forcefully take property,” according to a Chicago police statement.
The guard and the offender struggled, and the guard shot the man, who then “fled the scene with proceeds but was taken into custody a short time later,” according to police.
The offender suffered gunshot wounds to his body and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where his condition had stabilized, police said.

i see that they have arrested the little prick suspected of shooting Charlie Kirk. I bet he is having a lousy day. Lots of interrogation, and I'm sure that we'll learn more about him as the days go on.
I die hear this morning that the rifle used was an "imported bolt-action in .30 caliber". Hell, that could bbe anything. I know that Winchester, Browning and Wetherby all import their rifles.
I am reminded that in the aftermath of January 6th, the Democrats did everything they could to demonize all Republicans. Fairly or unfairly, they painted everyone as in insurrectionist. Now, after two attempts on President Trump and the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk, it is time to paint all Democrats a as assassins.
The kid who shot Charlie Kirk was not a nutjob with a rifle, he was a Democrat. The Democrats ar ethe party of assassins. That seems like a logical conclusion.
UODATE** I just learned that the rifle in question is a Mauser 98 in .30-06. ATF is trying to run a trace. Good luck with that. That rifle was probably imported long before traces began.

"Wilson was previously arrested for vandalizing the Seated Lincoln statue in Julia Davis Park in 2021. According to BPD, Wilson placed paint, feces, and makeshift signs on the statue. The City of Boise Parks and Recreation crews were tasked with cleaning up the vandalism.
"At the time, Wilson was ordered to serve 32 hours of public service in lieu of jail time and pay the City of Boise $91.96 in restitution."
Not mentioned in this article was that Wilson was a BLM activist and BSU adjunct faculty. I expect continued attempts at provoking a reaction, so go armed but aware that they will try to provoke an over-reaction. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words never cross the line into lawful deadly force." If you cannot keep this under control, do not come armed. Leave long guns at home.

Governor Lou Leon Guerrero, public domain
The bill to restore silencers/suppressors to legal status in Guam was introduced by William A. Parkinson on January 15, 2025. Senator Parkinson is a Democrat in Guam. Nine of the fifteen senators in Guam are Republicans. Ten votes are needed in the Guam legislature to override a governor's veto. If all 9 Republican senators in the Guam legislature vote for the bill with Senator Parkinson, they could override Governor Guerrero's veto. That is what happened on July 31, 2025.
The legislature had previously passed legislation to restore legal status for suppressors/silencers in 2021, but governor Guerrero had vetoed the bill. She vetoed the silencer/suppressor bill for the second time in June of 2025. From guampdn.com:
The governor vetoed the bill in June, over concern that the devices could be used to mask the sound of gunshots in a life-threatening situation.
“Suppressors are not what we’ve seen on television. They don’t make guns completely silent,” Parkinson said Monday. They are a safety tool for people who practice with firearms in a responsible manner.”
He said suppressors prevent hearing loss for those who are exercising their Second Amendment right and practicing with firearms.
The Guam legislature overrode the Governor's veto on July 31, 2025. From nationalguntrusts.com:
Guam became the first U.S. Territory to legalize suppressors, also know as silencers. This decision came by overriding Governor Lou Leon Guerrero's veto on July 31, 2025, when the legislature passed the Hearing Protection Act of 2025 - Bill No. 27-38. The bill was passed with a decisive 10-5 margin. The bill was backed by all nine republicans and included one democrat in the 10 votes and was lead by Senator William Parkinson.
The bill is well written. It takes into account the potential changes in the Federal law about silencers. From Bill No. 27-38:
§60103. Ownership, etc., Permitted.
Any person who qualifies under this Chapter may lawfully own, possess, use or carry any rifle, shotgun, pistol or revolver not prohibited by §60102 subject to the conditions and penalties provided in this Chapter. Mufflers, silencers, or devices for deadening the sound of discharged firearms are permitted; provided, that the specifications, purchase, ownership, and possession of the device complies with applicable federal laws, rules, and regulations.”
Bill No. 27-38 has been carefully worded to allow for changes in the federal law about silencers/suppressors. The federal law is in a state of flux. The $200 tax on silencers/suppressors has been eliminated. It is possible silencers/suppressors will be removed from the National Firearms Act. Bill No. 27-38 only requires suppressors in Guam to be in compliance with federal law and regulations. If certain federal requirements are removed, people in Guam will not be required to comply with them.
Guam may be the most conservative American Territory. Former Governor Calvo of Guam signed a "shall issue" concealed carry law into effect in 2014.
Silencers were first regulated by federal law in 1934 in the National Firearms Act. The legislative intent, or reason to regulate silencers was not clear at the time. An ATF agent told this correspondent his mentor at the ATF told him the Secretary of the Department of the Interior in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration has asked for silencers to be included because of concerns they might be used for poaching in national parks. The heavy handed "banning by taxation" of silencers has been a federal national health disaster. Millions of Americans have lost hearing as a result of the short sighted and uninformed policy decision.

The confrontation happened around 11:27 p.m. Tuesday on the street in the 5300 block of San Pablo Avenue.
According to initial police reports, a 62-year-old man and a 30-year-old man who know each other confronted a 40-year-old man they apparently did not know who was tagging the side of a building, in a fenced-off lot.
The argument escalated, and the 40-year-old man allegedly started stabbing the two other men, authorities said. The younger man then allegedly shot him at least twice.
- A business owner in Mesa allegedly shot a man who was assaulting them on their property on Sept. 9.
- Police say the owner and suspect had gotten into a confrontation prior to the shooting.
- The shooting remains under investigation.
Investigators believe that a different man arrived at the apartment of an ex-friend. Once inside, the altercation ensued, during which shots were fired.
The second man involved in the shooting remained on the scene and was taken to Birmingham Police Headquarters for questioning.
On Wednesday, Sept. 10, Birmingham Police say the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office ruled the actions justifiable.
According to the official statement released by the Houston Police
Department, an altercation reportedly preceded the fatal event,
involving the now-deceased male allegedly assaulting a female. This
significantly escalated to involve a second male, who is believed to
have quickly retrieved a firearm during the struggle and subsequently
fired at the assailant, resulting in his death.

"The weapon — an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle — was discovered wrapped in a towel by investigators in a wooded area following the killing of the conservative leading light, who was shot once while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, according to the memo."
Engraved? I suspect marked. Engraving seems a bit severe for ammunition. Transgender? Call me startled.
I've been watching the wall-to-wall coverage of the Kirk assassination, and I'm struck by a few thoughts.
First, the shooter planned this. He had ab objective and an escape route. As I type this, about 1:00 CDT, I don't believe that he has been caught. The shot doesn't appear to be particularly challenging.
If the shooter thought that he would accomplish something, he was absolutely right. The airwaves are awash with his eulogy and if anything, he is more well known than he was yesterday.
In the days to come, we will learn more about the shooter, and his motivations. It will be interesting to see how he was financed, his political leanings and who his friends are.
Chairman Mao famously said that all power flows through the barrel of a gun, and while that sentiment served Mao well, it may not apply in the way that he meant it. That one gunshot in Utah yesterday may have unleashed a whirlwind of political activism that will resonate for many years to come.

9/11/25 Inside Higher Education:
The U.S. Department of Education plans to end discretionary grant programs for a slew of minority-serving institutions, officials announced Wednesday—after Congress had already appropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars to those programs. The move stunned MSI advocates, who argue the department doesn’t have the authority to nix them.
The Education Department asserted that these programs amount to “discrimination” and are “unconstitutional” because they require colleges to enroll a certain percentage of students from a particular racial or ethnic background to qualify. For example, HSIs must enroll at least a quarter Hispanic students, among other requirements, to earn the federal designation.
“Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in the announcement. “To further our commitment to ending discrimination in all forms across federally supported programs, the Department will no longer award Minority-Serving Institution grants that discriminate by restricting eligibility to institutions that meet government-mandated racial quotas.”
When our government started actively supporting HBCUs, it was in the aftermath of slavery. You can argue, I think legitimately, that subsequent efforts, not entirely in the South, sought to keep blacks uneducated and unskilled.
Those days are long over. The legal obstacles have been gone for at least two generations. Hispanics were never subject to these legal obstacles. They were in the eyes of the law white. A friend graduated from University of Texas in 1948. That institution was still requiring blacks to attend an inferior, all-black law school in 1950. While looking through her graduation program, I was struck with how many Spanish names there were.
The only defense progressives have left is that this is still a profoundly racist society. In 1930. Charlotte Democrats would have lynched to accused. The double standard for justice argues that if there remains widespread discrimination, it is in favor of black criminals, largely to the detriment of black victims.

“I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened. I can still barely understand it,” Mandelson also said."
It has been twenty-four years — nearly a quarter of a century — since the followers of a demonic ideology attacked our nation. For some Americans, memories have faded. Others choose to forget or forgive. A whole generation has grown up with no firsthand knowledge of that day and little grasp of its history. Yet the events of September 11, 2001 brought a horror to our shores that the world must never be allowed to forget.

Between them, Woods and Doherty reportedly dropped at least 60 of the attackers, before their position was overwhelmed. Please …

As an observer of contemporary politics, economics, and emerging threats, I have come to the conclusion that the last three years of Donald John Trump’s second term as President may provide a potential window of opportunity. If we were now living under a Harris-Walz Administration, we would surely be out of time to prepare.
