Baptizing converts in Jack Danials and performing exorcisms using the US constitution, let's f***ing go
farting? ...no it's fishing isn't it.

The Vatican is such a huge scandalous and r@py real estate conglomerate. It's crazy that in 2025 hardly anyone is pointing it out. Goes to show theres still lots of preconceived notions that needs to be addressed

Are you living under a rock?
My mom is Catholic and called him another diddler lol.
Blessed is the round, and blessed is the cartridge for it holds the round and all of its fury
Blessed is the magazine for receiving the round and holding it close.
Blessed is the barrel, for providing direction and guidance to the round
And most of all, blessed is Kurt Cobain for giving the round purpose, and for receiving all of its love within his body 😌
I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye...
This is my rifle
This is my nun
This is for shooting
This is for fun
Apparently the way to make suicide jokes still funny in 2025 is to have had it happen in the 90s and for the person to be famous and queer?
Cobain was queer? Neat...
what does him being queer have to do with it?
Also people are now making jokes about 9/11. Tragedy turns into comedy after 20 years.
Huh?
Were they not supposed to be funny normally?
Are we not all on the brink?
Yes I know, it was a shotty.
By the grace of the Omnissiah
Are there any other tables he blessed besides just bolt actions? Disappointing.

Sigh. I would dearly love a proper bolt-action rifle. I've got a .22 (my first gun!) and a .22 magnum (left handed!), but zero excuse for a "real" caliber as I don't hunt and my range at camp only goes out 100'.
Love the Marlin 1895SBL from Jurassic Park but I'm not hunting dinosaurs or 2,000lb. bison. Plus, the .45-70 (AR-15 round on the far left) would probably amputate my skinny armpit.
More on point, the first American Pope! I'll look forward to reading more about how the College of Cardinals landed on this guy so quickly. Not sure I've seen a Pope chosen that fast!
If you want a lot of fun at the range, blackpowder is a riot.
look into a .270. not a small caliber when you're used to a 22 but not massive in the whole scheme of things. they're quite fun at that range you were describing too, and they give you the opportunity to go a lot longer if you ever need/want it.
a .270 was my first hunting rifle, if a scrawny 11 year old could use it I have faith in you :)
.270 is a neat caliber. I rarely hear about it (not that I frequent gun discussions) but am familiar with it because that’s the caliber of my dad’s deer hunting rifle which also belonged to my WW2 veteran grandfather.
And yeah it’s not very comparable to a 22 except for starting with a two. It’s a high powered rifle. You can think of it like a .30-06 but with a slightly smaller and faster bullet.
oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I'd love to have an older hunting rifle, there's something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.
I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.
I remember my dad telling me decades ago how it was such quality because it was old enough to have forged parts rather than machined.
I am nearly certain I don’t have easy access to a photo of it, but it was a classic look. Bolt action rifle with a dark barrel, all wood body and stock, modest scope, and a leather carrying strap.
I don’t really admire the look of guns any more than I might with something like a power drill. But in this case it’s associated with nice memories of when Dad let me shoot the big rifle from grandpa, or just hiking through the woods with my dad while he was the one carrying it.
For some background, I’m obviously American, but I also had an early childhood out in the country. I mean “I played in the corn field that bordered my giant back yard” country. I knew the farmer too, because he’d let my dad hunt on his land. Sometimes we’d hang out in his house and BS on the way in or out.
I haven't shot a 45-70 but I have a 35rem and have shot a breech load 450 bushmaster. It'll put a little sting on you but it's not that bad. Just make sure to keep the butt of the stick firm against your shoulder. I wouldn't want more than 5 or 6 rounds at a time on the 450 though.
