Two students are injured after a couple rounds were fired at their school from outside today, that’s the story from CNN. Their condition is not currently known to the press, but they are still being listed as “injured” and not “killed” so that’s good news. The bigger story here is the incessant definition creep were seeing with the media. Any time more than two people are involved, a “murder” becomes a “mass shooting.” If it happens anywhere near a school it’s a “school shooting.” And God forbid someone has more than one firearm, because that gets re-branded as an “arsenal.” It’s a war of words, and it’s escalating. More on this story as it develops.
I don’t really know one day I’m buying a shotgun for home defense the next thing I know I have moved out of California and have a safe full of guns I don’t really know when the love started
You have just described to a T the underlying zen concepts behind the study of Iaido and Kyudo. What I’m saying, is there must be something inherent to mankind that compels us to that fixate on that narrow window of action – it must speak to something deep in us.
I’ll bet if it’s black kids the media will be silent. The media is amazingly racist in that way
Last night on ABC News, the reporter called an AR style rifle a “high capacity” rifle. Because the Cops were using it. Funny how it’s always an “assault” rifle when anyone else posseses it. The beat goes on……
The bill is better thought out than most of what comes out of D.C. I doubt it will pass in the “Live free or die” state.
I guess Gemtech has been paying attention to the Sig MPX-C.
It looks like an Autococker, for anyone that has been into paintball in the past 20 years.
Can one get custom BDC reticles for these?
And are they FFP?
I don’t love guns any more than I love a hammer.
I do love what they give me. Food or Freedom. Satisfaction of a round well shot, and the fact I get to piss a whole bunch of leftards off.
From not spelling color, “colour” to having good teeth and not being a subject.
From the fine lines of a checkered stock mating to the rich, deep blue of a barreled action.
From the interaction of a trigger, sear and firing pin, to the extreme slow motion, that is thought, as the pin strikes the primer, causing the base metal to curve inward squeezing the lead styphenate against the anvil causing it to explode, igniting the gun powder to begin it’s ever increasing fire-breathing pressure cloud to expel the easiest thing in its path. To the point a bullet leaves the case mouth, contacting the lands and grooves spiraling forward as the pressure curve spikes to 40,000 C.U.P’s just as the harmonics of the cryogenically treated barrel come to rest…. The projectile escapes the confines of its launch vehicle, spinning forward at 2,850 fps.
As thought imagines the projectile, a copper sheath bulging at its waste, straining to contain the lead and antimony that is quickly becoming something between a solid, a powder and a liquid, spiraling at 200,000 rpms.
To the thought, as the bullet touches the composite of the golf ball, creating another dimple, just before the composite can no longer stop the forward progress of the 168 grain unstoppable force and gives way to a Newtonian thought.
How do I love thee
Well, if one shoots at a school, it’s certainly a school shooting. >;{>
I suppose that mall shooting, school shooting, work-place shooting and so on make a twisted sort of sense, as these are places in which the normal uses of a gun – defence or offence – should not normally come into play.
That’s likely why parking lt shooting, trailer park shooting, convenience stoor shooting, ranch house shooting et cetera aren’t such common sound bites.
How about news copy writing room shooting…?
‘It should be a crime for a private individual to arm a drone.’”
Got that you lowly civilians! Cops by all means, government no problem. But ordinary everyday individuals OMG!!!
I can only apologize for DiFi and Pelosi so much. My voice is gone, I simply choose to ignore them, and move along as beast I can.
Sooo… The drone saw her face and crashed? That sounds like the real story here.
It should be some kind of crime to keep re-electing that rights-snatching drone.
…what the???
I didn’t realize this was a problem… but then again, I don’t tend to put oversize scopes on a combat rifle.
I do not love guns, they are a tool of the trade. I grew up in a home without guns. I have now been around them for over half my life. They are a fine tool for the job they were designed for. I am not the most skilled artisan with a gun, but that is what keeps me interested. I continue to work to improve my skills, which will never be good enough as one can always improve. I will always keep at least one with me as well as a knife for the same reason. They bring comfort and security one can never have without the means to protect yourself and those around you.
Come on…..Who rides a bike in shower?
It’s an AR15 mounted onto another AR15!
I asked for this in the comments of the rail mounted pepper spray post from yesterday, now here it is today…
OK, now I want an AR15 with Selma Hayek mounted on it, please!
What the hell good are these if I’m operating in the Battlezone and my spotter is operating way over yonder on the Battlefield? I mean sheesh, those are two completely separate places. I operate in the Battlezone like a pro, but put me on a Battlefield and I can’t operate at all. Same thing for my spotter. He’d just be running around bumping into shit and falling over, all because he’d be trying to operate in an unfamiliar, nay, inoperable area.
