Greetings Liberty Lovers,
Hey, how about those special ops guys? Awesome job!
How is it the Pakistani government or their intelligence services didn’t know bin Laden was living in the lap of luxury for the past 5 years? Of course they knew! Of the $3 billion per year Pakistan gets from you and me, the tax payer, they were motivated to keep bin laden alive. The dude was worth some coin. It wouldn’t surprise me that some of the $3 billion went to building his home. Can you freakin’ believe that! I can.
I don’t get it. The Federalies are getting ready to raise the debt ceiling to $14 trillion. How is it we can afford all our overseas activities? If we are going to be the international freedom cop then Europe and other countries need to pitch in. Otherwise, they can deal with their own problems.
Sure, Pakistan has a nuclear arsenal. Yep, that frightens me. Russia, Europe and SE Asia need to kick in some resources. The word “never” is a long time. We will never get out of debt. Frankly, we don’t have to get out of debt as long as we can make debt payments. We can’t make our current payments so let’s charge more to the USA Credit Card.
I am so tired of these ass-clowns. My granddad told me a long time ago. “Boy, watch the hands of the magician, his words will only distract you.” Watch the actions of our government, don’t listen to their BS rhetoric. This goes for the clowns on both side of the aisle.
Firearm of the week: Japanese Nambu Type 14.
The Nambu was designed by a guy named Kijiro Nambu in the early 20th century. Hmm, this pistol looks a lot like the German Luger P08. Aside from its resemblance it operates differently than the P08. A few weeks back I wrote about the P08. The Luger is a toggle locking action. The Nambu is a recoil action similar to current semi-auto handguns today.
I have read the Nambu was not issued but Japanese military officers were expected to purchase their own pistols. While it was the most common sidearm of the Japanese, many officers acquired more reliable Western sidearms.
This pistol shot an anemic 8mm round. I try to own the appropriate cartridge for each of my firearms, even if I don’t plan to shoot it. The last time I saw these for sale at a gun show, $75 for a box of 20 or if I wanted just one little bullet, 5 bucks. Sorry, I don’t have an example of a bullet to show you.
Check out the serial numbers and the kanji on the side of the weapon. The symbols on the right side indicate the armory, serial number and the date of manufacturer.
My pistol was made at the Kokubunji Factory under the supervision of the Nagoya Arsenal. Check out the date of manufacture: 18.12. This number means the 12 month of the 18th year of Hirohito’s reign. Take 1925, add 18 to it and you have the date of manufacture: December, 1943.
Enjoy the Nambu.
