The NRA wasn’t formed to protect freed slaves. Which is a shame. Even so, the org’s efforts to defend Americans’ Constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms has been anything but a shame (no matter how much stick we give them for not reaching out to minorities and gays). Anyway, the fact that there are African American voices speaking-up for their Second Amendment protections in the post-Newtown rush to civilian disarmament should give heart to anyone fighting to defend and extend their firearms freedom. In the immortal words of the Hues Corporation, rock on with your bad self.
Smith & Wesson was nearly driven out of business by consumer boycott when their British owners bowed down to the Clinton administration. If you don’t know who your friends are, you’ll certainly learn who your enemies are.
Countless liberal lives saved.
I’ve said it repeatedly. Us OFWG’s cannot win this fight alone. Period. If we don’t find ways to include women and minorities in our ranks then within the next 40 years there will be no gun rights in this country. Most of the current crop of OFWG’s will be gone in the next 25 years. Math doesn’t lie. We need women and people of color.
Man, I’ve gone so far as to look up info for a legal resident Afghan who was curious as to his status to purchase a gun. Turns out he had the legal right. Boo Yah.
awesome!!
The old geezer should stick with his knitting. Its a little hard to wrap my head around a perfect brady world where you just wait for the next good guy to get off’d. He does have that nice brady “death smile” though, thats seems to say, I’m a good guy & I’m going to kill you, Randy
While S&W is a public company and has a responsibility to build shareholder value, boycotting NY is not a shareholder-level decision. It’s an executive-level decision, and one that Smith is likely to make if it is faced with a consumer boycott like the one that almost sunk the company in 2000.
British ownership spent $112 million to buy S&W, and sold it for $15 million cash and the assumption of $30 millon in debt. The backlash caused a sales drop of more than 40% and forced two plant closures. I doubt that the current shareholders would like the same to happen to them.
If you have the time here is the full version.

Who cares why they are biased – we aren’t going to change the big city MSM “narrative”, even though there is some hope of converting the smaller-town news reporters (particularly the women who see a value in getting a concealed carry firearm & permit for their own safety) .
As far as the big network hacks go, it is probably best to adopt the policy of the crusader army during the Albigensian/Cathar Crusade (1209–1229), as recommended by the Abbot of Citeaux (Arnaud Amalric) during the sack of Béziers, France in July of 1209.
Whoever shot that ammo is the reason we have warning labels on everything. There is no limit to the stupidity of the public mind.
save your tracers for the propane and gas tanks when they come for your guns
By the way, I’m glad it turned out okay for you and your employees. That’s why we all carry here.
I just e-mailed S&W, Glock and Sig the boycott request. The Glock email came back as spam, so I changed the subject to respectful request and it went through.

It’s not POSSIBLE for me to describe how momentous this is. It’s as if the tide had retreated all the way to Bermuda!
While I disagree with their religious sentiments, being a Black atheist and all, I do agree that all other rights will be taken if the 2nd amendment is rescinded. There are way too many Black gun owners out there that will put up a fight. We’re in this together folks! Race is inconsequential!
well i thank the reason all of this is happening is because the pries of ammo of cheep. then everyone decided to but it. then the it started get worse and worse. then everything got back orated and now theirs a shortage !!
if you think we’re far from the cartridge box, i have a bridge to sell you. we are already far past the point where we should’ve resorted to it. our grandfathers and great-grandfathers should have in 1934, and again in 1968, and later in 1986. just because they “only” come for the machineguns, or the pistols, or the standard cap mags, or the AR-15s doesn’t change the fact that their end goals is to see us completely disarmed. the longer we wait to resist, the more advanced the government’s firepower will become, the weaker ours will become, and the less likely that armed resistance will be successful, or even possible.
i’ve shot tracers before, but never indoors(obviously?). i was gonna pick some up when they were the only thing availible but didn’t, now EVERYTHING is gone. wonder if we’ll have some good brush fires around here this summer from all those people buying that stuff up?
i know one thing, next time i get tracers, they’re staying in their boxes until i’m ready to shoot, just to avoid mixups.
“…claimed nobody he knew in the military would ever carry an AR in combat.
I call BS on that one. I carried a semiauto-only M14 in Afghanistan as my primary weapon.”
But, an M14 or other designated marksmen rifles are semi-auto because they are chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and meant for precise shooting.
Even when all NATO service rifles were chambered in 7.62mm, few of them had a full auto capacity (like the UK L1A1 and the M14, for example). It was simply impractical.
These are not, and were never truly assault rifles., which by definition had to be select fire enabled, AND fire an intermediate cartridge (7.92x33mm; 7.62x39mm; 5.56x45mm; 5.45x39mm, etc.) not full sized ammunition.
In my humble opinion, I find the having military weapons as a defense aganist tyranny arguement to be a little too hypothetical. OK, entirely hypothetical. This is not a point of view that is going to beat mag bans.
War. This is how you wage it.
They sell tracers all over, but they don’t tell you what they are. I’ve caught people at Gander Mountain grabbing a case of tracers, because they were new AR owners and saw 5.56 and thought “ammo is ammo”.
I’m not a big fan of regulation on what people can or can’t buy.. but I do find it awkward how flippantly people can buy tracers without having any idea what the end result is. Heck, look at all the youtube videos of people shooting tracers off into the woods and laughing.
I wish hunter safety and firearm safety classes would include a small blurb on ammo types. Maybe some do, I just haven’t run into any yet.
I had a teacher who gave me a D- on a book report solely because “science fiction is not serious literature.” The book? Fahrenheit 451. Oh the irony.
This is not the 1994 AWB — this is different, serious, and pursued by a presidential administration that has no hesitation whatever in trampling the constitution.
Bill Clinton’s presidency was bad, yes, but nothing close to the scale of abuses BHO & gang casually do every day.
I’d love to be able to afford a field-specific firearm, but in the bush I run my Dan Wesson 1911 with Double Tap Ammo’s 45ACP+P 255gr. SWC Hardcast ammo (http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_34&products_id=650). Not perfect, but definitely better than running FMJ. The largest animal problem in GNP is the goats though. They’ve been attacking people for food in the past couple of years and are more of a pain than the bears.
In going to GNP, be careful in that the northern end of the park actually dumps you out in Canada as part of the Glacier-Waterton International Park. There is an amazing hotel in Waterton, the Prince of Wales, that’s pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, going into Canukistan means you’ll have to find a home in the US for your firearm and ammo.
