An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

Well, shit, you actually did test it, and you have "the one good Fudd" here as your example, may he rest in peace.

You don't gotta upsell Paul to me, I still miss him... he was an old school dude doing guntube, but ... not a guntuber, if that make any sense.

His whole approach was more 'punchy educational video from the 80s', not... whatever the fuck most of guntubers do.

Anyway, you bring up good points, I'd not seen this video before, happy to learn that rock salt is actually less effective than I thought it was, probably at anything under basically point blank range.

That being said... what about a salt and pepper round, lol? Birdshot and rocksalt?

Hahaha!

That or just switch one notch up from all salt to all pepper, birdshot.

But yeah, the whole... escalating lethality of response loadout does seem to losing popularity, but, I also did present it as a way to minimize the ability of a shotgun to be a uh, gore painting device.

Lets see, also also, Dick Cheney shot his hunting buddy in the face with birdshot... and the buddy he shot apologized to him.

Yep, no lesson I'm attempting to learn from that, just uh... that happened, but it actually did.

I'll have to check out Kvander!

EDIT:

hey here's a home defense load out;

dual wield two taurus judges, lol.

I suspected I was preaching to the choir regarding Paul's work. Hopefully others will see our comments and catch on.

'punchy educational video from the 80s'

Maybe that's why I loved him! And yeah, none of the bullshit we see from others. Even my favorites don't compare, all hype and production value. I actually cried when Paul died. Never cried over any sort of celebrity, not once. Paul's death hit because we lost so much future education, no one replaces him. I can cry right now watching his video, "If you're watching this, I'm dead. Thanks for the support, it's been my honor." Saw that after work one night and the bottom dropped out. "Well. I owe the man the viewing."

I'm no hunter, but as I understand the Cheney thing, it's normal in that type of bird hunting for the designated shooter to pop up while everyone else stays low. After all, the shooter has to swing around! Lawyer buddy did not stay low, spazzed out and popped up, hence the apology. Still pretty funny having Darth Vader, with his robotic heart, shoot someone and getting, "Sorry. My bad." 😆 "Apology accepted Mr. Whittington."

When I first got into shooting I thought the Judge was awesome! Got a Bond Arms derringer that does .45LC and 410. Solid engineering, worst gun I've ever bought. Bird shot hits the 1/2" of rifling, pinwheels. I didn't land but 2 pellets on a 2x3' target at 15'. Thought I was losing my mind, missed really badly. Tried again. Same. And the barrel's so short, velocity so low, I bounced a .45LC of an old pallet at 25'! Then I found out my nephew has a Judge he counts on for home defense. "Oh me son! Say it ain't so!"

Speaking of, Paul tried really hard not to bag on the Judge. Man must have been choking back expletives trying to make a case for it. :) "For some people, in some situations, the Judge might be the right... CUT! I can't do this."
