Strap In for the Ginsburg Riots, Kids
So, how was your weekend?
The news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing on Friday certainly ratcheted up the 2020 crazy by several orders of magnitude, didn’t it?
I was heading out to meet some friends when I saw the news on Twitter and my first thought was, “This might be the last time I can get out and have fun before ‘peaceful protests’ begin again.” The lefties wasted little time in confirming my suspicion that RBG’s death was going to do the seemingly impossible: make them even more unhinged.
The civil unrest that we’ve been dealing with since May got out of hand because it was being aided and abetted by elected Democratic officials in each of the riot cities. Democrats were perfectly OK with looking the other way and pretending that the riots weren’t happening. It wasn’t until last week that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi got around to condemning the violence, and that was only after new polling revealed that voter sentiment in the riot zones was shifting to Trump.
D.C. Democrats are already caterwauling about what they will do if the Senate votes to replace Ginsburg before the election and they happen to win control of the White House and Senate in November.

The 500/590 accepts the OPsol mini which allows loading the mini shells. I have 15 in my 500 security. The mini shells come in 7 1/2 bird shot, buckshot, and slugs. The slugs generate over 100 dt pounds of energy!
Mini shells are just a crutch for having poor magazine capacity in a pump. My Saiga 12 has drums that can take than many full house rounds, which are far more effective.
Also - a regular 12 gauge 2.75” slug generates literally more than 10 times the energy you quote.
Typo, meant to type 1100 ft pounds
Still a big deficit. The nominal baseline for a 2.75” 1 ounce foster slug is in excess of *2300* ft-lbs. A 3” cartridge 1 ounce slug generates in excess of *3100* ft-lbs. By comparison, a 150 grain .30-06 bullet generates about 2200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.
Going with a short mini shell gives up a *lot* of the raw power that is the shotgun’s short range advantage.
I’m afraid you are giving them way too much credit. Why do they do stupid things? Sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one. Because they ARE stupid. Additionally, they are playing a losing hand in a “game” of spiritual warfare. They have hardened their hearts and are making one blunder after the next, very much like the Pharaoh did in dealing with the Hebrew slaves. Now, the Deep State is about to pursue Trump into the appropriately named Red Sea.
