Finally, we agree on something! Left-leaning comedian Bill Maher tells it like it is regarding the Progressive Caucus’ call for “common sense gun safety.” Even better, he “outs” Democrat congressman Keith Ellison as an irreconcilable gun grabber by daring Ellison to agree that the Democrat party should “come out against the Second Amendment.” Which he does. (4:19) And then attempts . . .
to walk it back by supporting a package of incremental gun control laws that would lead to an all-out ban. Or nearasdammit.
Of course, Maher is all in, publicly voicing his support for all-guns-barred civilian disarmament on a regular basis. In fact, it’s kinda funny to watch the two men arguing about process and spin rather than substance or genuine safety. Well it would be funny if they were doing so in the unemployment line. Or whatever chat room passes for such these days. Just sayin’ . . .
So if a certain model of gun is used in a heinous crime, we now must refer to them as “(insert perp here)-style gun”?
Do they also demonize Oswald-style Carcanos? John Wilkes Booth-style derringers? Or even Klebold-style pump shot guns?
They seem to take no issue with “9/11-style” Boeing 757s and 767s…
Bill who?
And I am willing to bet his pews were overflowing!
smh.. The news article is more of the same.
Bill reminds me of my nerve grinding yenta of an ex wife. Good for a little stomach flip just on sight.
Maybe I’d go to church more often if I could win an AR-15 there.
Next time, they should find a way to trick those douchers into running a story before the rifle is raffled off. Might raise some extra revenue.
I love how people are hating on guns so much. Guns kill people, guns are bad. I can list five things that kill more people then guns. Knives, cars, other people, bleach and cows. Shall we start preparing the laws to ban those as well? Take away our right to arm ourselves and you will live in a country of people that will feel unsafe in their own house.
What do you do with a gun owner who owns guns to protect themselves but thinks other people should not have that right? Sheila Bair is not a Republican by the way. Maybe she calls herself a republican. She is mostly progressive and mostly confused.
Incidentally, I wish someone had asked him about the “public health” campaign against pot, alcohol, gambling, and other vices by progressives. It’s called cognitive dissonance.
Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range ain’t gonna do it. Everyone knows you need a 45-watt if you wanna kill ’em dead.
UPS just dropped off more. .22LR even. All I need is some good weather and a break from uhh, work.
Don’t count on bullets being your salvation from the infamous anal probe ! Multiple incidents over the last century of folks firing on ETs with no effect. Firing on their vehicles has had no result and may in fact be quite hazardous. Classic story of Iranian jet downed by UFO when locked radar on it. Various air forces have issued orders to not attempt it. So now you have been warned !
Why did you just make me watch over 6 minutes of pure drivel here??
Same garbage over and over except this time instead of 90% for gun control.
He pulled an 89% for control out of his ass.
I’m a fan of both Miller and Maher. I find them entertaining and funny. I don’t agree with them, but I find I learn more listening to intelligent people I disagree with. I learn very little from listening to people who only say what I like. Maher especially challenges me with new ways to think of some issues. The Mothers Against are much less entertaining. Their statements border on frank ignorance. However, I urge everyone to listen to people with whom you disagree. You may learn how they think, what their arguments are, and be better prepared for them. Or stick your head in the sand. I don’t care, got my Kevlar flame retardant jockey shorts on.

If they didn’t need the resources produced in the heartland of this country, food for their bellies, natural gas to heat their houses and provide the electricity for their Leafs (been waiting my whole life to use that word legitimately), maybe we could convince the “elite” states to secede, or kick us free states loose and leave us alone.
Rags like this probably don’t even work lining a bird cage. Go with God, and an AR. Having a “Praise The Lord, and pass the ammunition” moment.
That’s a tough one. TRIED the SRM as an upgrade to our department 870’s. It was a cool concept that would have been nearly perfect for our applications, except…nearly every shotgun we had for trials had an unworkable jam. The bolt would not only fail to cycle, but it would stick so hard even an inertia tool wouldn’t budge it. Ever try a full strip down on a weapon that you can’t even perform the functions required TO strip it?
The UTAS? Never tried it but I would take it over the SRM simply because one could single shot the pump in case of a failure.
UTAS: begrudgingly.
Regarding the gun nut issue, I think the comparison was more spot on than many realize. The purpose is the same for both words and groups, to poison the well and dehumanize an opponent.
It goes deeper than that too, the n word comes from a time of government sanctioned violence against those who were labeled with it. Which is something they advocating for all over again, government sanctioned violence against those they label with the g-n words.
I can’t watch Maher’s show, because I stopped subscribing to HBO the day they canceled “Deadwood”. Cocksuckers!
i will say this there was no reason to brag about it on Facebook. i live in a rural community and there are a lot of hunters. Some of these ‘hunters’ use dogs to ‘hunt’ although I dont consider anyone who sits in a heated truck drinking coffee waiting for their dogs to run an exhausted animal for them to take pot shots at hunters.
I digress. Anyone these dogs are often inbred and kept purposely in a state of malnutrition. They are kept in filthy cages and never given affection, never truly domesticated.
No surprise after hunting season ends they are fed less and often escape. These animals are constantly in my trash and making a mess.
I have a 2 year old and a disabled wife and one day one of these dogs was extremely aggressive to them. Going as far as to follow them up the porch growling and snarling. Needless to say the next time said dog was in my yard it didn’t leave, and to me that’s a form of preventive medicine. I dont like it, I down right hate doing it, but when these types of strays come into my yard I dont see other options besides unnecessary risk
If they’re coming from space I want a BOLO with 20 centimeter hellbore. And, infinite repeaters.
Hey Leadbelly, I read the guns of the south (being a southern boy),and it was spot on. I would go with a tactical 1100 with buckshot.
@ benny
Its not about a wrestling match to disarm an aggressor, its about speed and leverage.
The “simple” explanation is that you should turn the barrel of the aggressors firearm towards the outside of the trigger finger, which breaks not only the aggressors grip on said firearm but breaks/dislocates the trigger finger on the trigger guard.
There is much much more to consider, speed, timing, moving away from the muzzle, footwork, much more.
Try holding a blue/red gun with your finger inside the guard while your buddy EXTREMELY slowly disarms you, you will find out what pain is and how impossible it is to retain your weapon.
I push this button when I can but . . .
He’s one of yours RF!
Seriously, you got to take the good w/ the bad. There are plenty of pro 2A Jews out there but then there is most of Hollywood, most of the eastern seaboard, & large chunks of academia. You got the raid on Entebbe and the Safe Act. Uziel “Uzi” Gal and Dianne Feinstein. It’s a mixed bag but I am glad you are batting on our team!
When Wal-Mart gets in ammo , when they roll out the pallet the .22lr is swept up immediately , plus we had a gun show in Laurel Ms. This past weekend .22lr was through the roof , so I figure that folks are buying it cheap at Wal-Mart and gouging folks at the gun shows . I already have a good stock pile of .22 lr so I am just waiting until folks calm down . Be prepared and ready . Keep your powder dry .
“It is unclear if Boyd was mentally ill.”
Regardless of history, I’m pretty sure being harassed by authority figures with raging power-boners for a few hours will diminish just about anybody’s mental well being. Top it off with a flash-bang, and you’ve got yourself a man that not only doesn’t know what the f*** he is doing anymore, but probably can’t hear the orders being barked at him. You could probably get similar compliance from a stray dog that a group of people verbally abused for an hour, threw a flash-bang at, and then demanded “sit.”
Police are trained to use assertive body language and deep speech to impose a dominant presence when interacting with people in public. While exploiting psychology in this way can be an effective tool against submissive personalities, it only serves to escalate conflicts with stubborn or aggressive personalities. As evidenced repeatedly, escalated police incidents lead to officer involved shootings and somebody ends up wounded or dead. Maybe cops aren’t the answer to every little problem?
I’ve seen it written on this site before, and I’ll beat that dead horse again… Police are not properly trained to deal with mentally ill people. I would even wager that police are exacerbating and/or creating temporary mental illness in the people confront. Mental well-being is a very fluid thing and nobody is unbreakable.
I think this is a decent article and pretty insightful. As to whether or not Jesus would be armed: of course not. It never mentions him carrying a weapon of any sort and he was pissed at the violence which occurred during his capture. I’m not Jesus though, and I will not be a victim or a martyr.
Didn’t you post this question LAST week? Just sayin’.
“They’re embattled and losing”, Robert.
Mind numbing…..
Disarming techniques are… fun to say the least, I however, would rather be stabbed than shot. (Been stabbed by a crazy ex girlfriend, getting shot just sounds shitty.)
I really wanted to be on the side of the police after hearing that this guy was in and out of prison and mental institutions for most of his life. I can imagine him bugging out as I and my loved ones walking by and him taking a box cutter to one of our faces (this happened where I live). What would my restitution be, I get to keep my life with permanent facial scars? What, they’ll throw him in jail again. We’re all better without this person however….wtf, that was a shitty shoot. I watched the raw video on liveleak and I don’t see how that was remotely justified.
The shit show started with poor tactics, what the fuck was with the flash bang as the guy started to comply? Why send the dog out, fucking taze him if you want to cuff him on the ground. I know I get to watch the replay on youtube and wasn’t there for the live action but damn, I saw him running away with back turned when shot.
Did one of the cops say “boo ya” after he shot him?
The guy with the head cam muzzles the dog a couple times after the guy went down.
…fucking poor performance all around.
Harley, I haven’t read it (what’s a book?), but when the aliens come I will be selling out humanity lolz
Lets see if I got this working right…
Hey! Good job me : ]
I was done 30 seconds in. Any man that can sneer, and can’t say the word “freedom” without a spiteful and sarcastic tone is no true countryman of mine. That simple act showed his true colors, and that just doesn’t get it. It is about freedom. Collective punishment of 150+ million people because of the less than 1% of gun owners that commit crimes shows just how anti-freedom this guy really is.
+1 Tom in Oregon. Sorry I ragged on you from last week.
Own a sig 220. that being said I buy two GLOCKS, a .45 (21) and 9 millimeter(17) for the same price of one lame sig 9mm, and call it a day….
Without seeing everything (and only having this short clip available), it appears that the police escalated this situation unnecessarily and this guy died unnecessarily. Shooting someone over illegal camping? Come on.
And you can armchair quarterback this one all day long…wouldn’t tazers have been more appropriate…hey, what about the bean bag guns that Agent Terry had available to him along the border when he was killed?…there was no time limit on this encounter…it looked to be out in the middle of nowhere and this guy was a threat to nobody (it appears that public safety would not be a major factor), so why the haste in shooting him (even after 3 hours, shooting the guy should have been the absolute last course of action)…and one last thing to consider, if this was a non-LEO civilian shooting another civilian, he/she would likely be found guilty of murder by the fact that this guy was probably shot in the side and the back. Not in the chest. He appeared to be no threat to anyone at the point when they shot him. Again, you can armchair quarterback this one all day long on both sides.
Hans Solo blaster, or just and old German or British gun. Don’t need no modern high tech gun
I am humbled by Rep. Miller’s well-reasoned response. I should move to RI just so that I may vote for him because he da man.
OK, really, we have those “representatives” in MA but they use prettier words to say the same thing. For a Boy Scout merit badge, my son wrote to Stephen Lynch about the second amendment. Rep. Lynch’s response was that sometimes you have to go against the Constitution. Woopee! And he keeps getting reelected. 8~(
What does it matter, stand with us or stand against us…either way is a losing proposition…
When the time is right, and enough is enough, the people will rise up, it is then, and only then, that choices will have to be made…

Ohh he’s feelin the pain on Facebook now lol
Florida Gun Center in Hialeah FL. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable employees who take the time to talk to and help ANYONE regardless of experience or how much they are looking to spend. Whether you are looking to buy a couple Noveske’s or a used lcp, you will be treated with respect and helped. I think most of us probably frequent shops we like for good reason. Love to see a question on specific stores we have not liked with valid reasons why. Bad business deserves to be called out!
Perry’s gun store in Wendell,NC. Great selection of guns and optics that are very reasonably priced. They even sell Trijicon optics well under retail. But I have stopped going there for ammo because they charge double what most places do for ammo even though they have a ton of almost all caliber. Went to go buy some wolf 7.62×39 last week and they wanted $500 for a case of 1k. Give me a break. As soon as i got in my car I ordered the same ammo for $210 and got a .50 ammo can for free with the order online.
Anyone know who the guy laughing is? (He is on the right when the gimp speaks.) If he is also an elected official, he might need a GFYS from the voters as well.
You could put 16″ barrels on the two glocks to avoid the SBR issue. But then there could by cycling issues.
