“Despite impassioned pleas from family and friends of former Marcus Hook Mayor James Schiliro, a Delaware County Court judge on Monday sent him to jail,” philly.com reports. “Schiliro was sentenced to 10 to 20 months for an alcohol-fueled episode last February in which he had a police car bring a former neighbor – a 20-year-old [male] to whom he said he was attracted – to his home, made him drink wine, and refused to let him leave for 3 1/2 hours. During the encounter, Schiliro threatened to kill himself and fired a gun into a stack of papers. The man eventually left and later called police.” . . .

Schiliro was convicted of recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, official oppression, and furnishing liquor to a minor . . . Judge James F. Nilon evidently was not moved by the testimony from Schiliro and his family members. ‘I don’t think you appreciate the seriousness of the nature of the behavior that you engaged in,’ Nilon said.” Duh. Schiliro was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

  1. I was enthusiastic about this gun, but that’s starting with the negative views of Gabby & Mac. I’m thinking the XDs9 4″ might be the way to go.

  2. I’ve got one of the Revenge 6-18 scopes on a Savage 308. I don’t claim to be a great or even good shooter. Sub MOA groups with this set up. (On a rainy, low light day) Scope cost me less than $250. This is a GREAT scope value.

  3. Of course they want to spend millions of dollars to put cameras in schools, that would give the media hounds ample material to play non-stop.

    You’d think Arapahoe would make someone think twice.

  4. The AR platform wasn’t designed for optics. It was a soldier’s rifle, intended to be used with iron sights.

    The brilliance of the design is shown in its adaptability as a civilian firearm, using all kinds of optics mounted close to the bore axis once that “carry handle” was removed.

  5. Perhaps it’s been said already, but by all their bloody-shirt waving, the President, the other baton-twirling glory hog politicos, and the lefty media — the gun-control establishment — are themselves stirring up copycat crimes, and are themselves undeniably getting more children and teachers killed. If they really think it’s for the greater good, then ‘hey, what are the lives of a few innocents compared with creating utopia?’
    Collateral damage?

  6. I don’t “love” guns. I carry the best weapons available to me at all times as a matter of religious conviction.

    I do enjoy shooting practice, however.

  7. Daddy Bloombucks should start a new organization called “Mayors Against Illegal Drugs,” or MAID. That fat bastard Rob Ford from Toronto could be a prominent member.

  8. This is all the proof we need guns are just bad. Look what this poor victim is going through because of a gun. If this can happen to a trusted government official, then we meer peasants will never be able to stop our evil guns from turning us all into criminals…Wait a minute! Should we not expect more from our elected officials. He should have gotten the maximum time and federal kidnaping charges too. What about the police who brought the 20-year-old. How involved wer they. I have very little doubt any investigation will be conducted. If it is it will be like the IRS “We found no evidence of any prosecutable crime.” Maybe we might hold off on giving up our guns. I don’t think they are evil, politicians are evil.

  9. i’d respond differently to that question from a friend than from the govt, for example…to the govt the answer is “none of your business, go read the constitution…”

  10. Dont forget, after every single incident of “gun violence, regardless how small, show footage of spree shootings… all of them, even ones from 20 years ago. One person may have been shot but its a great excuse to remind everyone of old shootings to keep the fear up, so no one forgets.

    Also, talk about “guns” killing people so the acts of the 0.0001% who use guns for crime are grouped together with the 99.9999% who use them to save live, protect life, for self defense. This way laws can be passed against self defense rights in the name of “preventing gun violence”.

  11. Anyone else notice that the full MAIG membership list is not available on their site? Dead link.

    Poked around more….some online speculation that there is an internal rift because Bloomy is stepping down and his successor hasn’t signed up for MAIG

  12. When people threaten to shoot themselves in the head, hindsight always confirms that would have been the optimal outcome. Be sure to buy my upcoming book “Suicide. An ER Nurses Guide to Getting it Right!”

  13. I love taking them apart, and putting them back together. The mechanical expertise and brilliance it takes to make a firearm is a wonderful thing. Every firearm I own, I have taken apart and put back together (without the manual, as much as possible) before doing anything else. I’m a geek about my bicycles in the same way.

  14. Why not a trigger that fires either by being pulled or pushed? One motion of the finger back and forward would still fire two shots.

    Still, it seems useless. Double the weight, using double the ammo, and almost certainly not having both barrels regulated to point of aim.

    It might look good in a movie with an 870 master key mounted under it. Other than that… meh.

  15. Uhm, isn’t already illegal to fly an armed private aircraft here in the U.S.? I’m pretty sure it is. If so, it’s not a huge stretch to broaden that interpretation to unmanned drones as well.

    Just sayin’.

  16. Oh, he swears off making violent movies… until he doesn’t.

    He’ll soon flip-flop on this, like all useful idiots like him inevitably and invariably do on literally everything else, once he sees his bottom line falling like a stone and leading him on an irreversible and one-way trip to the poor house.

    And the beat goes on.

  17. He had made his money, so he can say no more. However the jew comment was low. However I would also say that any movie with a gun is hypocrisy. No matter what the subject material was.
