#rifle

I am sending the wind to pester you. I am sending it to make the loose shutter bang against the house and to tangle the washing on the clothesline. I'm sending it to #rifle your papers and leave them in a mess on the floor. But I am also asking it to lift your hair, kiss your neck, and sing you a haunted song through the needles of the pines. May it impede you, distract you, touch you, until such time as I myself again am able to. When the wind comes, think of me.

Sisi worked late into the night, stripping, cleaning and reassembling all of the weapons used in the most recent mission. The railguns were simple, but the Ublyudok particle #rifle was a lot more complicated. They contained a powerful nuclear accelerator enclosed by a shield generator. (1/2)

I went from going to ranges at least once a month to disliking almost all firearms. I'd never use a again. If I ever used any firearms again, it would be a & only out of genuine necessity - not 'just for fun'.

I abhor firearms for the most part now because of a few reasons. I disliked the misogynistic shit at ranges a lot. I disliked the racism/bigotry in many firearms addicted social communities. I didn't like the egos of many in those communities. I don't believe I need a firearm to actually defend myself against a home invader - which is the excuse many people use to obtain one or more guns. I don't like the environmental pollution that spent ammo leaves on the lands - most people don't pickup their casings at ranges or outside of ranges.

I can shoot several different firearms well. I have access to a few firearms. I just choose not to use any of them anymore.

Giftober 10 - Dacoit

Not a specific character this time, just a random dacoit bandit based on the amazing art of Phyllostachys on Furaffinity.

They draw amazing art based on Asian history, often depicting scenes of everyday life with stunning detail and historical accuracy.

“I can't post about my sport on social media”

A British shooting champion says #algorithms are stopping her promoting her sport online.

…her Instagram posts have been hidden, and non-followers cannot find her account, because it depicts the use of guns.

Shooting has gained prominence at the OIympics with Nathan Hales winning gold in trap and Amber Rutter securing silver in skeet.
