Nearly 100 Federal employees took part in a protest now into its second day of a takeover by Elon Musk surrogates of the high administration arm of the Federal government.

Did you know that for the past few years, the people of Myanmar have been fighting back against a genocidal apartheid government without any support from outside countries? They can get ammo and hobbyist 3d printers, but nobody is willing to send them any guns to use.
I’ll give you an acronym so you can try and guess the redacted word: PSR.
Buy a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he can feed a family for a lifetime. After all, many hands make for light work.
Edit: The quote and gif are a reference to a Fallout meme involving The Burned Man, who is sitting at a table with a pile of unchecked 1911s on one side and stacks of cleared pistols on the other.
In context of the scene this comes from, he has a stack of about six dozen .45 handguns that he’s clearing, cleaning, and preparing. In the seconds preceding this one that’s pictured he just ejected the magazine and locked open the slide. He looks down the barrel to check for obstructions or debris and then turns the gun back around and reassembles it.
This is Joshua Graham from Fallout New Vegas and I promise he knows his gun handling better than either you or I.
No, it’s part of a longer animation where he pulls the mag, racks the slide, checks down the chamber to examine the barrel and chamber for damage, then flips it to check it again from the other end, before putting the mag back in, and putting the now cleared gun onto one of the stacks.
Then he picks up a new one and begins the process all over again.
He actually shows pretty good gun handling during the whole thing. Even with the slide racked, the mag out, and the chamber checked and cleared, he still uses proper trigger discipline through the whole process. Flipping the gun is really the only “rule of cool” bit of the whole thing.
The whole thing is that he’s prepping 1911s for use to defend a tribe against an invading army. A lot of 1911s.
My point was that you can buy one gun, or help the community to either arm themselves or teach them how to. I figured a reference to Joshua Graham and his famous scene of checking guns forever would be picked up since the quote “We can’t expect God to do all the work” was a big meme for awhile.
Thank you for the clarification, and the additional images clearly illustrates the scene. But that’s the catch with memes, they are only useful when everyone is in on the joke or if they are self explanatory like the no/yes drake meme—I’ve never seen the Hotline Bling music video, but it’s not really required.
To return to that original comment, I agree. Everyone needs to know how to fish. Not just cast the rod, but where the fish are too.
I’ve made some comments in another post about the protests going on in LA. I’m all for protesting, but my concern is the location. I think a lot of people got fixated on the inconvenience it put on the average person by blocking random intersections, and I agree, because I think they are fishing in the wrong spot. The energy they have is great. They have a fishing rod!! But to make that energy count in this particular fight, it needs to be—in my opinion—focused on people in power. For example, the front yard of a Senator. Or even just a government building.
To return to a gun reference, they’re using a Blunderbuss as a sniper rifle.
Yeah, at this point, I think the manual from WW2 on how to fight a fascist government through bureaucracy that’s been going around is probably more helpful than clogging up a freeway.
Inconvenience and hamper the ability to get everyday business done for these people. The people blocking the entrance to government agency offices have the right idea.

Ahhh, so the gif is handing over the gun, and not pointing the barrel to his head? Because that’s some really poor gun handling.
