When it comes to buying or selling “celebrity” firearms, provenance is everything. The pistol being sold by Case Auctions has more paperwork than a Westminster Kennel Club Champion. “Model 1902 Colt, serial number 7362, found enfolded into the outlaw Bonnie Parker’s skirt at the Conger Funeral Home embalming room of Arcadia, LA in 1934. Letter of authentication dated 5/15/1972, signed by James Lavelle Wade (Sept. 28, 1886 – Dec. 17th, 1972), coroner in charge of the “Bonnie & Clyde” death investigation and signer of death certificates, and by Mrs. Alwyn (Vern) Hightower, employee of Conger Funeral Home. Affidavit witness signatures include Mrs. Ed Conger, wife of the Conger Funeral Home director, and retired Judge P. E. Brown, Second Judicial District Court of Louisiana, serving 1954-1969. Letter of Authentication is notarized by Violet L. Turner.” What’s it worth? Whatever someone’s willing to pay for it. $175k is the current estimate. [h/t DC]
Shot an old style Mk18 clone full auto, the ones with the Crane engravings on the side. Damn hard to control unless you shoot in bursts, as are many machine guns, but fun as hell. As for the furniture, many on M4c.net are hating on the new DD grips/stock. At first, i was wishing i had ordered my DDM4v5 later so i could get the new stuff, but now i am fine with what I have. I’ll end up swapping it anyhow eventually.
This is why we can’t have nice, or at the very least, cheap things.
Note in the top picture of the glock laying on the blueprints that the mag release is a honking big square sticking out from the gun. Then note the 2 pictures of said glock in a persons hand. That mag release is covered. How much you want to bet that small gun with big mag release is going to result in mags escaping into the wilds to run free.
And yet we the lowly proletariat are still expected to comply with
orders from LE, never once question them during an incident
and let the lawyers duke it out later.
News flash, he hates People of the Gun because you are white, because owning a gun is implicitly white, because owning a gun is a symbol of whiteness. Basically he and his ilk are the racists they complain about so much. In psychology it is called displacement. There is nothing you can do, short of giving up your guns, to make him happy. The sooner you realize this the happier you will be. There will be no rainbow defense of the Second Amendment. It will be whites or nobody.

For all those saying that this a zero chance, I’d just like to
point out that 50, 20 even 5 years ago many were regarded
as tinfoil-hatters when we warned of impending crazy.
Don’t dismiss this just because it CURRENTLY has little
chance of passing. Instead take it as a serious threat.
This state senator needs to be openly and forcefully
confronted on every single misstep in her logic.
Welp, no more rentals for me.
