Like many of you, I used to read headlines regarding California and their gun laws with amusement. But I’d like to change your perspective because, like it or not, what passes in California this year stands a good chance of being Federal law in five years. And maybe sooner. Here’s why . . .
I used to think to myself when one of California’s gun-hating politicians took the stage, “Oh, those poor souls have bullet buttons and ten-round mags. Sucks to be them. Guess I’ll go back to cleaning my non-Cali legal rifle before I openly carry my not-Cali legal handgun.” Then one day at work, a client new to the state stopped by. As we talked, I discovered they were newcomers to South Dakota from Washington D.C., also known as the gun owner’s version of Mordor.
Why did they move? It’s the economy, stupid. States with bloated, crazy gun laws also tend to have bloated, crazy high costs of living. In an economy where purchasing power is eroded every year, families formerly nestled in the leftist states and cities of America are facing hard choices and long moves to put food on tbe table. Given that the states with the best performing economies also happen to have lower taxes, less intrusive government and thus lower costs of living, people are voting with their wallets (and their feet) and are pouring into “flyover country” in search of a better life.
All would be well and good with this, except these blue state expatriates also bring with them their political ideology, too. As time goes on and blue states with unfriendly business climates and astronomical tax rates collapse under their own weight, companies and their employees will start leaving in even bigger numbers for more business-friendly, conservative locales. And that means moving left-leaning voters into those conservative areas.
So go ahead. Mock the Californians, Chicagoans, New Yorkers , Hawaiians, New Jerseyians, and Marylanders. Because Bloomberg and Company will ultimately get the last laugh once they move in next to your ranch in red state America and immediately set about the business of taking away your guns, your money, and your rights…in that order.
Instead of indulging in schadenfreude, a better course of action is to support those states. We need to donate as much money to the state-level lobbying groups in the occupied terrirories as we can. And we need to cut out the “Californians/New Yorkers/etc. brought it on themselves” bullpucky. We also need to consider moving into and visiting leftist states.
Yes , this means giving up some legal recognition of your rights and the nice hardware, but realistically certain jobs can only be done in the urban centers in America. And not everyone has the financial or social means to pack up and move out of those places. Gun owners there need all the support they can get and what better way to do it then for us red staters to spread the good word about what life is like beyond their borders.
We also can’t expect voters in California and other places to fight for rights they don’t know they have. Someone who has spent their entire life in a state which bans concealed carry won’t know anything about it to campaign for it, unless one of us in the United States cross the American Iron Curtain to spread the word about the Second Amendment. We sure can’t rely on the media and government to do it for us.
I’ll leave with this quote from Martin Luther King’s ‘Letter from a Birmingham Jail’:
‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’
I will never set foot in that state unless I am wearing red football equipment abd carrying a flag with a bull.
I wonder how many people get the Fallout reference.
Thank you ST
I don’t agree with going to anti-gun states. It’s better to live in pro-2nd states and make sure the support there remains in SPITE of some ingress by more blueish citizens.
Why hasn’t a Major Airline stepped up and created flights for passengers that have CHL’s? This would create FREE Airport Security. FREE Airline Security. No need to have TSA Security stations because all passengers would be armed. Terrorist would stay away and frequent some other country that doesn’t allow it’s citizens to be armed.
We need some traction against stuff like bullet buttons, magazine limits and outright bans on weapons and features in common use. I just worry about weasels lawyers and complicit judges trying to go around the meanings of words.
California weasel lawyer- “No your honor, the California handgun registry isn’t a ban on guns, we are just trying to make sure only Californias use approved safe gun with criminal seeking microstamping! Oh why do the police get to use whatever gun they they want thats not on the list? Oh ummm, uuuhhh.”
Dirtbag California Judge- “Sounds good to me! It’s for the children! Ban, away! I mean, uhhh keep the safe handgun list. It is super constitutional! Heller? Who’s that?”
Honestly, I’m conflicted on the issue…
I’m all for having fun, and to each his own, so roll with it if that’s your thing. I don’t mind a zombie flick or TWD once in a while myself. I can see the fun in it. Not that old and boring quite yet. (Although the shows are almost always completely devoid of any firearm reality, but hey – it’s not supposed to be reality, so cool)
I’m all for new firearm enthusiasts, so as long as the newbies learn the proper respect/safe-handling/ responsibility for firearms – and know that zombies aren’t (nor even going to be) reality – then cool with me if that was their segue to learn about the wonderful world of firearms, and join us in the fight to protect the 2ND.
On the other hand…
I do cringe a little when i go to a gun show and I’m spammed with silly zombie stuff and the guy at the ammo table tries to tell me how great these zombie bullets are for only 29.99 for a box of 20, and how they are just the thing I need (before he realizes from the look on my face, I’m not a newbie/zombie dude)
Part of me finds it to be a bit mall-ninja-ish, so naturally repel.
Part of me wonders if it doesn’t draw the wrong people in. Firearms after all, are a serious thing. We, who know that and understand that and practice safety and responsibility can easily have a little fun with it, but man there are some strange freakin people out there that seem to get a little goofy with shit sometimes. You wonder if they don’t take it a little too seriously, if you know what I mean.
So I just watch and laugh… maybe cringe once in a while… and maybe join in for a laugh and a hoot every once in a while too. I did a cool zombie shoot at the range once with AK’s, AR’s and Shotties and it was certainly fun. The headshot element made it a little different/challenging.
I guess to me there really are very few absolutes in life. Not a black and white dude. It’s all shades of gray…. even in the darkest corner of space, there are protons. So make of that what you will.
Hi. I’ve got a pm 9 and about to get a g42. The 42 is basically the same size as the pm9. Less recoil, cheaper, dependable (we’ll see) don’t have to shoot all the “break-in” (I’ve got some arthritis) ammo. To me, a Seecamp, which I have, is a true pocket pistol not these, but with the right pockets the 42 can be deployed just as quickly and for me, also, fun to shoot at the range. thanks
I live in Illinois. Born and bred. My family immigrated to the small mining communities 70 miles south of Chicago 120 years ago. I grew up here, went to college, married and am raising a family here. I never have nor would consider moving. It’s my home…. And I’ll continue to fight and win minds for the second amendment and am beaming with pride that myself and father will soon be CCW holders in a state never one would consider have been a shall issue state.
Never cede any ground, we can win this battle one person at a time. Free Cali, free NY, free NJ, free MD. It can happen
In other news, prosecution under “Hate Speech” is not a 1st Amendment violation, the NSA spying on your every move is not a 4th Amendment violation, declaring unregistered firearms is not a 5th Amendment violation, and the unequal application of Obamacare is not a 14th Amendment violation.
I’m underwhelmed by this decision, and I hope the citizens of CT do not comply.
I think that what many people fail to realize is that stuff that starts in places like New Jersey doesn’t stay in New Jersey.
Case in point is the late Senator Frank Lautenberg and the Lautemberg Amendment. If you were convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence case, even if it was 40 years ago, you lose your gun rights.
Now I’m not a big fan of wife beaters – but the definition of domestic violence can vary based on the crime, and this is an ex post facto law. Many police officers lost their jobs over this.
Last year we tried like hell to get Steve Lonegan elected into the Senate, but he was outspent by Cory Booker. Now Senator Booker will be in that senate seat for at least the next six years. How is he going to vote when gun bills come up?
We need your help, guys. Think about that the next time NJ2AS pops up on a forum asking for money.
Booker won’t vote for anything nor serve in the Senate for 6 years since he’s going to run for president. And he’ll probably win.
So, he admits that the law burdens the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights. Now, what is the basis for the government’s claim of a broader public interest? Their say-so?
In defense of Dan’s article, the government did hold a disaster/mass casualty training event that was zombie oriented. Whether it was deemed practical at the time due to the bird flu/swine flu scare or because the government just wanted to de-sensitize its foot soldiers to killing the common folk in the event of an uprising, the government saw a purposeful utility to zombies.
Mike, in defense of Dan who may get enough crap on his own, he is the TTAG editor of this article written by me, Cliff H.
I thank him for his mild but appropriate editorial corrections and RF for having the balls to post this for me.
Here’s something else to chew on. Today’s leftists are collectivists. Today’s rightists are individualists. Which group, when united under a charismatic demagogue, is better at enforcing conformity to a party line and whipping up enthusiasm for its principles? While Democrats are locked arm in arm on every single one of their planks, those on the right bicker among themselves. Why? Because we are individualists, because we are ornery, and because we have so many in our ranks who get disgusted, buy 100 acres in Wyoming and lock the gates. Look at the comments here and see if you can disagree. When Friends of Abe fears publishing their member list, when people apologize for admiring anything about a Republican (like Paul Ryan’s physique), you know the right is losing. Only it’s not. 75% of Americans tend conservative when you take the Republican/conservative label off the viewpoints. The majority of people believe in the Second Amendment. I say, do not lock the gates. Get into the mission field and be salt and light, to borrow from Jesus. We may say “live and let live.” They do not.
Bullshit. KA has had fucked up gun laws since at least 1989. Where have they spread to? Post-Newtown, only to the most-expected locations, namely NY and CT. Even the fucked-up Commie-wealth of MA hasn’t seen fit to adopt any of KA’s messed-up laws.
I loved living in San Diego. I miss it a lot.
I could not move back there at present because of what I own.
I would like that to change.
Have a small battle to take care of here before I go back to donating money out of state.
One finds it difficult to distinguish between rational basis and intermediate scrutiny in the Second Circuit. All the court requires is “substantial evidence” of a “reasonable relationship” between the policy and the law–which is no different than saying the Plaintiff must demonstrate that the law is, in legal terms, an abuse of legislative discretion.” This approach, of placing the burden of proof on the plaintiff and not on the government, allows the government to succeed merely by showing that there is evidence (“substantial evidence” being a legal term of art that means little more than a fact was proved by competent evidence). this approach is rational basis in sheep’s clothing, and was specifically rejected in the Seventh Circuit.
This ruling is utterly ridiculous. Whenever someone uses the term “balancing rights” it means they are ignoring the constitution and deeming whatever they feel like as their ruling. He is also totally ignoring Heller.
or there were books in the house and that might hurt his street cred
If you are annoyed by Zombie-related items and media, YOU ARE TOO OLD.
Sorry I had to say it. People need to lighten up when it comes to zombies. We all know they are not real. Don’t like it? Don’t watch it or buy merchandise related to zombies…
Yes, its really that simple.
And I’ve men half my size threaten me over dumb things so I dont buy size as a deterent
Pistol duels may technically still be legal in the U.S. due to an untested loophole in the law. http://www.businessinsider.com/trial-by-combat-in-the-united-states-2013-11
How about using the paralyzing ammo like in Forward unto Dawn against real targets?
Even if a state does turn “purple” that doesn’t mean you can’t expose the new people to the rights they didn’t know they had.
I’ve taken a lot of people with different political ideals (and sometimes with no political ideals) shooting. Two of them have completely had their fears crushed and bought their own guns. No one has ever left with a bad impression. A Ruger 10/22 and 200 rounds of ammo… it’s a great investment.
Only thing is, we’ve got to shut up about right versus left politics for a bit while we do this. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have your right to your views… just try to keep your yap shut about it for a few hours while you let the new urban expatriates shoot your AR. Let them come to the conclusion on their own.
Anyone else think leftist judges will be one of the main reasons for another civil war?
I’m actually in the reverse situation. I bought a safe with a combination lock because it was cheaper than the ones with an electronic lock, and now I never lock the thing because I’d forgotten from my high-school days that I freaking hate combination locks. It’s basically a heavy, glorified storage locker.
At some point I plan on replacing the thing with an electronic keypad. Though to be fair a “hybrid” solution does sound nice, but if I had to pick between the two I’m going keypad.
Being the “training officer” for a department doesn’t necessarily mean much. I’m sure most regular shooters have had experiences with unsafe or profoundly unskilled shooters at the range who turned out to be cops.
In one case I was out function-checking my M&P9c on a winter weekend after installing the newest APEX kit, to see two older men “instructing” a young woman. On more than one occasion the young lady put rounds into the ground just a few feet in front of herself, blowing snow and dirt into the air, without the men instructing her so much as saying a word.
One of the men wandered over to me as I was preparing to shoot to “check me out”, and I learned that the young lady was a cadet training for her qualification in a few days and that he was his department’s “training instructor and armorer”. Yeah…
i found what was missing in the article about how to handle a home invasion. it was missing an effective way to do diddly squat if your home is invaded. it recommended pepper spray or a knife for defense. bwahahah thats a good one. i would rather rely on a unicorn taking me to a safe place than relying on my skills to fight off a gang of determined drugged up scumbags by using pepper spray. if you don’t have a firearm, you are not prepared to defend your family.
i have been sprayed with pepper spray and it wasn’t fun. would it have stopped me from doing something i was determined to do? absolutely not! my eyes burned, it hurt to breathe, and my skin felt like it was burning. i was still fully functional and realized that oc-17 spray is next to useless. (at least the can i have is)
Its easy to fight for your gun rights in a state not fighting against you. Its also easy for people to bash the hell out of California or other similar states, but residents of those states are the people arguably fighting the hardest, uphill fight out of everyone for their Second Amendment rights. Doesn’t do anyone any good if those people turn-tail and run.
Incrementalism, ban AR15s and claim nobody needs more than a lever action, then some dork does a spree killing with a Winchester and they will claim nobody needs more than a single shot, then some dork etc etc etc….
AmericanSpirit,
A methhead, or most any criminal does not use logic, and many have never heard what a slid action shotgun sounds like. Don’t give your positions away by doing that. You shoot to stop someone, not to kill them, because your life is in danger. If they die, that’s a bumer, but you stopped them from killing you.
Tipy
the moral of this disaster is that appointing judges is important as is electing them.
But Lawyers are paid to twist the meaning of words and the law to their own ends, so its not surprising.
“I’m also abviously and admittedly younger, and we young folks are sometimes less hung up on national identity than we are about our planet not being a big overpopulated polluted ball of suck in 50 years when all the stupidly rich OFWGs who run practically everything of importance (Obama’s heavily compromised by those same people, just like Bush was) are dead and won’t have to worry about those sorts of problems anyway.”
Again with the “we are (and by extension I myself am) horrible” stuff.
First off, the Earth isn’t headed for overpopulation. In fact, by recent estimates it’s going to peak around 8 billion and then start falling in earnest. Human beings are not lemmings (actually even lemmings are not lemmings). Birth rates in third world countries are tapering off and net fertility in most European countries has gone negative. Yet, “overpopulation” is heralded to be a doom right around the corner.
Of course it is! It’s been a productive way of scaring people for about a century! If you want an easily accessible example, there’s the 1969 Star Trek episode The Mark of Gideon. An alien commits suicide via exposure to the germs the Enterprise crew bring with them as an example to her miserable, overpopulated planet of the “noble sacrifice” some of them should make so others can live happy lives. This was considered urgently topical in the late 1960s! You have to dig more to find examples in the first half the of the century, but it’s still there. Didn’t happen, wasn’t going to happen.
There was also a group of scientists in the 1970s who mathematically “proved” that the world was going to run out of base metals required for industry in just a few years. You can see a contextual imprint of this in a 1980 Barney Miller police sit-com episode – a time traveler speaks to the officers in the precinct and tells them that the world economy collapses in the near future and advises them to invest in Zinc. Didn’t happen, wasn’t going to happen, but it was nice and scary at the time.
Then there’s Global Warming….which literally the same scientists (I mean the same individuals) had been promoting as Global Cooling in the 1960s and 1970s. The Green House Effect was going to Destroy Us All by drowning the coasts….except that the earth has actually been as warm as they were predicting in the past without submerging those coastlines. Doesn’t matter anyway since it’s come out in just the last two years that the “inevitable Green House mechanism” hasn’t moved global temperature at all in the last decade and a half and net arctic ice amount has slightly gone *up* rather than down. Didn’t happen, wasn’t going to happen, and even if it was, all the hand-waving of people trying to save their careers by changing tacks to “climate chaos” is sure to make enough of a breeze to keep everyone cool.
It’s a snake-oil scam and if you live long enough you’ll see people come in with new spins on the same cons.
But lets talk about the big one: *pollution*. Every human industry results in some type of “waste”. But far too many people, ipso facto, declare human endeavors to be toxic and dangerous in and of themselves. By extension, the wealthier a people is, the more technically sophisticated their society is, the more poisonous and guilty-of-poisoning-for-their-leisure they must be!
Wrong!
People do not willfully foul their own nests (despite what great villains that makes for television dramas). They don’t like to live in dirty surroundings. When they end up doing so, it’s because they lack the wherewithal to clean their waste up. Conversely, the more (and cheaper) energy they have available and the more sophisticated their methods of using it, the less waste they produce and the more able they are to deal with the waste created.
For easy examples, look at the grotesque spoil that was made of large swathes of the Soviet Union and are being made of China. In comparison, you can’t find parts of the United States that have been made wholesale uninhabitable and, despite hyperventilated accusations and soda-straw-viewed anecdotes, the land, air, and water are essentially clean here. In the former case you have bureaucrat-forced, inefficient production-methods and denial of the energy to clean them up and in the latter you don’t. Left to their own devices people figure out ways to clean up after themselves and then do so provided they have the spare energy available. if you think things are dirty and want to clean them up, the solution is to advocate more industry, development, sophistication, and energy – not less.
That of course leaves us with the “stupidly rich OFWGs” who are out to ruin everything because they’ll be dead by the time it’s a problem. Sorry, those mustachio-twirling villains only exist in the aforementioned television dramas. People, real *people*, by and large tend to have *kids*. You’ve said you’re young so you likely haven’t experienced this yet (you will), but people *really* care about what happens to *their kids*. Their kids *will* be there “in 50 years when X becomes a problem”. They worry about those things and look for solutions. Even the most calloused fictional “fatcat” you can imagine is going to feel that way.
Really, honestly, seriously: Human’s aren’t horrible, Doom isn’t crushing the rainbow, the future isn’t lost, you don’t have centuries of National Sin to atone for, and The Kids Are Alright.
Well, at least one OFWG is willing to sit down and give it a shot at explaining his point of view. I appreciate it. The consistent national sin thing isn’t something I subscribe to – but that doesn’t mean the Good ‘Ol US of A has not meddled at times either.
Maybe you still believe in Manifest Destiny. I think it’s an outdated concept from two centuries ago.
Space is where it’s at, but we’ve essentially twiddled our thumbs there for 40 years (coulda been on Mars by 1975), man, and nationalism is accurately described by Albert Einstien (which is weird, because I’m still a patriot).
I suspect that this is a shot in the dark, but my father has studied climate here in the Western US for several decades – never been on TV or otherwise hollered for more funding – but the data I’ve seen and he’s collected shows that temperature is rising. Even Exxon Mobile is starting to come around to the fact that their policies are going to cost them more in the long run than they’d like and that, while the 1950s were good, it’s just not logical to keep acting like its 1955 when making solid policy.
The world isn’t going to explode tomorrow, I know parents care about their kids, but the people who run the show aren’t usually raising kids anymore – they’re running corporate empires and wrinkling up. We humans absolutely have a large, currently undefined effect on every natural system on the planet. There’s no “grey area” about that one. Leave a better planet than the one you were given. Please. Okay. Thanks.
/ I’m done with this, thanks for the books to read.
Really enjoying the LoTR theme on this one. Ive already got a bow and sword, lets just find some Uruk-hai, I hear theyre coming from the west 🙂
I do not believe you can re-educate an Orc, regardless of where he happens to come from in Middle Earth.
My AR15. I know it’s not romantic, but I’m slowly learning how to shoot well and it will the first rifle I end up taking on a hunt. Plus “they” don’t want me owning it, so there’s that.
Interesting article, for sure, and thanks to the author for presenting it here for us to talk about.
As others have stated, the article does not address how wounding is affected by impact velocities. Bullet performance is GREATLY affected by impact velocity. In this matter, velocity is anything but an abstraction.
The article also fails to acknowledge that, all things being equal, it is simply “easier” to shoot with a higher degree of accuracy by virtue of the flatter trajectory and shorter time of flight that higher muzzle velocity brings: Both of these factors mean less dope needs to be applied, and less dope applied means less dope error. Shooter error is almost always the largest source of imprecision.
That said, I always like to see contrarian positions taken, so I appreciated reading this piece and the comments that it has generated. The article is a useful (even if not entirely comprehensive) argument on the merits of shorter barrels for precision rifles. It’s very good, and I hope to see more like it. Thanks again to the author!
I feel that any way we can get more citizens involved in the shooting sports is one more for our side , that would be another vote for gun friendly politicians , possibly another person to become a Patriot , to stand and be ready. Be prepared and ready. Keep your powder dry.
Oh man, what a poor grip on the gun…
the futile combat in Korea and Viet Nam
You’re a dumb ass that most likely is a product of a typical 4 year long indoctrination program called the US university system.
Please tell me why keeping 60+ million South Koreans out of the nightmare concentration camp of North Korea for 60+ years is an act of “futility”. Gawd you’re F’ing stupid.
So they admit its a burden? Since they said it doesn’t impose a substantial burden, a non-substantial burden is still a burden. A burden is also an infringment, isn’t it?
Brazil is already in a low grade state of civil war, and this will accelerate and exacerbate the situation.
I’m not much into the zombie craze past watching “The Walking Dead”, but that feral pig hunt sounds really fun. Too bad I live in one of the few states where there isn’t much of a problem with them. May need to take a vacation in the future.
Insane people should have their guns taken away
Gun owners are insane
See how that works?
Karl Pierson Mister Pitts. That name should ring a bell and you Mister Pitts should be proud of your work in Karl. For those in need of a refresher, Karl was a 18 year old student in Arapahoe County Colorado, a ” dedicated socialist” who hated the republican party. When Karl was demoted or kicked off the school debate team, his inflated sense of self esteem helped cause him to act on his emotions so he could feel good and preserve that self esteem. To feel good and prove his point, he decided the best way to satisfy his emotional need was to kill the debate coach and others at the school. Mister Pitts, you and your fellow cohorts in media and activism like Moms Demand Action created Karl Pierson and many like him. The first minor adversity they face, they can’t handle it because they’ve been do sheltered so special that they believe they are always right. So Karl decided to prove he was right by killing the debate coach. The irony is dripping on that sentence. It is not my fault Karl couldn’t handle a taste of real life, nor is it my guns’ fault. Perhaps we need to look at the human instead of the object if we want to bring gun violence under control.
Im in FL hoping OC becomes law!
Yeah, that whole liberty thing is a bitch, isn’t it Mr. Pitts?
“There are no mandatory safety requirements. Indeed, the language about recklessness and negligence was only added in 2011. Prior to that, apparently, it was even legal to blast at shadows and hallucinations, assuming you did so in your own back yard. Shooting actual people is presumably still illegal, though the family of the late Trayvon Martin might beg to differ.
“Because he is a responsible gun owner, Varrieur, who has been shooting in his back yard once a week for a month, took precautions, even though, again, he is not required to.”
First off, Zimmerman was found not guilty. The jury ruled that he was acting in self-defense (rational people usually believe that being beaten by someone who is straddling you is a justifiable circumstance to defend yourself, even with lethal force). So that argument is a non sequitur.
Second, his argument about safety requirements not being necessary (among many other arguments raised by gun control advocates) remind me of this quote by French economist Frederic Bastiat:
“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”
– The Law, par. L. 102.
As if not being required automatically meant that we won’t be responsible. I must ask, is he saying that his only purpose for acting responsibly and morally is because he’s afraid of being punished for it? Because if so, he is the last person on Earth that should be lecturing anyone about either of those topics.
In any case, I’m pretty sure that you are legally required to take some precautions. It may not say in that particular law, but I’m pretty sure that if I fire my weapon in my backyard and it goes into the yard or house of one of my neighbors and either does damage to their property or someone gets hurt I would be liable for all damage done. I wouldn’t be able to say “the law didn’t require me to put up a backstop” as a defense. Hell, the guy he spoke with TOOK the necessary precautions. He didn’t speak with anyone that practices shooting in the backyard without a backstop, nor did he provide any empirical evidence that shootings due to this are a common problem.
One last thing, I LOVE how gun control advocates only acknowledge the declining violent crime/murder rate when it suits their purpose. Any other time, they’ll either completely deny it or act like it’s not important or not relevant.
Clearly he has to go to jail as that imaginary gun in his right hand is loaded with too many bullets. Second only to the other WMD, his big mouth. Next up, the tale of the trajedy of tm….once upon… I better not I’ll spoil it for everybody, Randy
These are the gun laws on the books when Democrats control the state.
that list is longer than I expected
“This is not how robberies go down.”
So there is a manual that dictates the method? He wasn’t attacked by Seal Team Six. It was street thugz…not known for their strategic planning and quality Intel.
At 35 pages long and about 23 firearm models per page, that’s about 800 firearm models that are no longer approved in California. The actual terminology they use is “may no longer be sold, manufactured, etc., within California”. “Etc”? It seems like there could be a pretty broad interpretation of what “etc” means.
Well, knock me over with a feather.
The afternoon cocktail and quiche-for-breakfast Rockefeller Republicans and neo-conservatives (i.e., east coast Jews who have figured out that the liberal/left wing of the Democratic party really are a bunch of seething anti-semites who would rather Israel not exist) suddenly want to break bread with the people of the gun.
Hmmm.
You’ll pardon me whilst I cast a skeptical and inquisitive eye upon this development. There is, without any doubt, more to this than meets the eye.
The Ridiculousness clearly is strong with this one, but this in particular:
“These items are a menace to your culture and it should be left to the courts to decide if changes to the law are warranted, not political back scratching.”
The mindset of “it’s the legislature’s job to ‘do something’ and the courts’ job to finish the business of legislating” is just about the most bass-got-damned-ackward embrace of political foolishness a sane person could try to imagine.
I need a drink now. Glad it’s Friday.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. was his name. Then he changed it to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm. Now he’s Bill de Blasio. Next year it may be Bill Che Castro. Who knows?
What I do know is that he’s had almost as many names as Shannon Watts aka Shannon Renee Troughton aka Shannon Renee Weaver aka Shannon Renee Marmion.
It’s all about crafting an image. Even if it’s a lie.

yet another example of a big fat lasagna of wrong.
Further, I might beg advice from the “been through it” guys. I have a 9mm Kimber 1911 4inch b. with a shakey magazine. I am new to autoloaders, but not to guns. Does someone have a good suggestion for a good mag for a 9mm! (9 rnd) mag for the poor little fighter (Pro Carry ll)……….I do not get response from my dealer or Kimber! (weird)
Glad to see you guys reviewing this piece. I only got to shoot 2 magazines through one, it was loaded with Hornady critical defense 90gr FTX. Did alright, would like to have pushed a bunch more and some different stuff, did not have the chance.
One another note, got to shoot a Ruger LCP yesterday, using the same loads. Friend had just bought it and felt that something was wrong, it being very stiff to move the slide against an uncocked hammer. In the store when he tried it I am pretty sure it was already cocked. He does have issues with hand strength from years of working as a machinist and pipe fitter and he is 72. It cocked fine for me and did not hang up through 50 rds. He had a hell of a time getting that first rd chambered. I am also not to wild about the idea of carrying it loaded. He carries and old Jennings .25 auto loaded in a vest pocket and has never had an issue with it, I just don’t think the LCP is a good option for that. I told him to get a decent holster if he is going to carry it. I also tried to convince him that perhaps he should take it back and look into something else if he is determined to replace the .25. We will see how it works out.

It’s easy to cross municipal boundaries; harder to cross State boundaries; hardest of all, to leave your country. People don’t move across State or country boundaries by choice; they move out of compulsion. Usually, for employment.
I’m afraid that Colorado is the most important example. Progressives will be forced to move from blue to red states because they have destroyed their hosts. These will out-number conservatives moving from blue to red States. For conservatives to move from red to blue States is counter-productive. We must consolidate our votes in the Senate and Electoral College.
Ultimately, victory will go to whichever side collects the largest number of votes. We we can’t get the votes at the ballot box those votes won’t be there if/when civil order breaks down. Progressives will still look to the SWAT teams to restore order, establish soup kitchens, re-light the grid. No matter that Big-goernment failed to preserve civil-order; Progressives will continue to believe in BIGGER-government to solve the problem. (Remember, FDR continued to win elections in the depth of depression and WW-II).
We have to begin supporting candidates ACCROS State lines. I can’t support the legislators who represent me; I CAN support candidates in other States who represent MY VIEWS. Send money to right candidates in other States.
