Now, now, it’s pretty obvious that none of those shooting irons can actually be fired. Do you see any holes in the walls? Any gaps in the plaster? Are any of these yucks bleeding? Can you detect any missing or crippled limbs? They’re clearly non-firing replicas, suitable for roughhousing or cornholing. I expect that when the cameras are off, they use them to play Barbie and Ken with.

Those aren’t Enfields.

The front guy's is. Look at the iron sights and the shape of the clip. Compare and contrast.

Both are commie guns. What’s the matter with a Remington Model 700?

Too expensive. Which always sorta boggles me. I can understand why people would get pissy about gun-grabbing if their guns cost four digits apiece. When their toys are Soviet surplus that runs $300 for a crate of five? Not so much.

Those aren’t Enfields. The guy in front has a Moisin-Nagant, and the woman to his left is holding what looks like an SKS.

If you intend to look formidible, you need to be brandishing some AUTOMATIC weapons, not ancient shit like Lee Enfields

Sorry to object here, but Enfields are solid guns and Class III permits can be a pain in the ass to get. Especially if you have a waistline like theirs.

Now, trying to look badass while brandishing a .22 Ruger? That is what /k/ would LOL at.

How sad does a person have to be to pose for a photograph brandishing a weapon? I thought only 16yrold wannabe gangsters did that. .... Oh, come on. That’s not entirely true. And there's always this.

A steady diet of arugula in the Hope Camps will lessen the greasy sheen of their jowls.

Chief Editor Korir stated in his tribe, you have to fight lions and hyena’s to be able to marry! Which begs the question.

Are the women in his tribe really, really, really amazingly hot?

Or is he full of crap?

Yay! The site is finally back up. I had a sneaking suspicion that there were DDOS attacks underway, since the plangent wingnut cries of defeat were sure to turn into childish vengeance. I too, toast our new Muslim Overlords with a glass of wingnut tears…

Do any of the people in that photo really need to hunt? They’ve obviously never missed a meal, and I’m counting brunch and lupper.

I particularly like the bayonet on that assault rifle. In the absence of any guns here at Maison D'Etre, I have fitted un bayonet to la cafetière.

that one with the bayonet looks like an HK 94 or maybe an FN/FAL…

I think it looks like an SKS.
I would have expected wingnut heros such as these to buy american when choosing thier penis simulators.

If you intend to look formidible, you need to be brandishing some AUTOMATIC weapons, not ancient shit like Lee Enfields … yeah yeah, it’s a good enough rifle – & in this day & age, it’s a guarantee of earning a free toe-tag when the other guy’s got a submachinegun, unless you can see him but he can’t see you … oh, & I’m guessing that having a big goofy grin also isn’t a major asset.

“We’ll defend liberty, even at the cost of our own blood – LOL!”

“Such bravery we’ve not seen in a generation,” lauded a giddy and drunken Ann Althouse, Commandant of the Wingnut Military Academy, spilling her glass of inferior Chilean merlot on her new uniform.

Actually, Teh Box-Wine Countess Of Wisconsin did a very good thing on Tuesday … & her commenters have been predictably bilious ever since.

I still think she’s a pseudo-intellectual gasbag who’s probably wrong most of the time, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The woman figured out which candidate was the best & cast her vote accordingly. She also praised both the style & the substance of Obama’s acceptance speech … & that’s not a very wingnutty thing to do.

I’m pretty sure her invitation to Camp Galt is NOT in the mail.

But the real question is.. Is that KENYAN coffee in that cafetière à piston?

It’d be the coolest thing ever if we found out that Chief Editor Korir was actually a paid Obama operative.

“…part of me almost thinks this could be a dirty trick to make wingnuts exhaust themselves salivating over this non-story.”

Ya think?
