In the wake of the Sandy Hook spree killing, CNN’s Piers Morgan launched an anti-AR-15 jihad. “Show me one example of someone who used an AR-15 for self-defense!” he sniped. Again and again and again. Anti-gunners adopted the resident alien’s cri de coeur, constantly labeling the AR-15 a “weapon of war” useless for civilian self-defense (ignoring the fact that AR-15-wielding police are also civilians). We’ve chronicled several examples where Americans used America’s favorite rifle to defend life and limb. And here’s another one: “Jasper Brisbon, 32, wandered up to a couple late Friday at the Lynnewood Apartments [in Cheltenham Township, PA] as the pair spoke outside their unit,” philly.com reports. “Brisbon, they told police, appeared to be on drugs. He stared at the pair for several minutes before the couple decided to go into their apartment . . .
But as they entered their home Brisbon jumped between them, forcing his way in.
The male of the couple ran to get a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle and insisted Brisbon leave. Brisbon refused. Instead, as the man yelled “Stop! Stop Stop!” Brisbon moved menacingly toward the man, police said.
The man fired a shot striking Brisbon in the torso and immediately called 911, police said.
An ambulance rushed Brisbon to Abington Memorial Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. According to court records, Brisbon was awaiting trial on a charge of aggravated assault stemming from an incident in December.
Police said the residents of the apartment were cooperating with police, did not know Brisbon and that the AR-15 was legally purchased.
‘Cause that’s the most important bit. Or not.
AT-4. Let no robot be left behind.
Spray paint the cameras, if you can get close enough? Or if you want to be ghetto you could drop a blanket over the top
How about a good old fashioned super soaker?
I wonder if we ask nicely if Jeremy Clarkson would punch him in the face again?
I would watch a 10 minute looping Youtube clip of that.
Pier’s defense would be that he could have simply bored the man to death.
If it saves “just one life!”
The one shot “stopping power” only a rifle can offer…huh no one was killed by the round going through any walls? The lawful owner somehow resisted the urge to go on a killing spree inspired by his evil black rifle? Who’d of thunk it?
I keep a handgun and an AR-15 by my bed side to be ready for anything, the AR is to go to weapon just from a power standpoint. I know its all about shot placment but if I only had time to fire one shot at a bad guy before he was ontop of me, I would rather it be a shot from a rifle.
It’s also harder to be taken away and used against you. It won’t go out of battery is pressed on someone’s body. The fully extended arms with pistol is about the same length as a carbine which allows it to still be easily maneuvered.
Maybe clarkson AND the stig’s Chinese cousin can team up on ol’ Piers? I keep my AR close at hand for instances just like what is described here…
Have you people not seen Terminator 2? The best weapon for killing a killer robot is ANOTHER killer robot. Hack one of them and make it turn on its buddies.
“SpecWar”. What a detestable name.
You can pick up a bunch of info from the net and the movies and books. But you still need hands on training and experience to put it all together and do it right on the fly and under fire. IMHO.
Too bad he didn’t have a rifle instead of a camera! He had a perfect vantage point.
I have to disagree. It’s quite easy to fall into a weaver stance automatically, because you happen to be looking with your dominant eye. I might have been able to accept them choosing the engine block to hide behind had the car been perpendicular to the officers, but it was straight on. As long as they stood on their side of the car they would be using the engine no matter how they stood unless they wanted to stand in the middle of the street, or up against the edge of the car which makes no sense whatsoever.
Do you really need a gun? You know these things will have IFF systems, wouldnt be surprised if it wasn’t much more than the flashing IR strobe you see soldiers attach to their helmets. Just walk up to the damned thing with some sockets and a ratchet and take its gun off.
So, for the three responders so far, are we just to accept what they legislate or do we stand and fight? Bravo Rabbi, you have done us all an honor in this video, and shows the stupidity and misinformation in their (the politicians) actions!
I am afraid of what the take-away may be. “Holy shit?! They are ALL that dangerous?! In that case, we don’t need an assault weapons ban. We MUST repeal the 2nd amendment, NOW!!!”
In a sick sort of way, I would kind of like to see them try. Then they would KNOW they have just kicked a hornets nest that was A LOT more than what they saw on the surface. They certainly won’t know what to think when the police and military turn on them(well, the people in the service most likely will…never know about the piggies).
I was going to say something that probably only I would find profound, then I saw Ms. Monique.
What were we talking about again?
Hmmm… I’m going to be a linguistic nit-picker.
While there is in this country a supposed ban on cruel and unusual punishment, does the ban apply if the punishment is unusual but not cruel? Or the reverse?
For example, does the ban prevent tying down a convict and having puppies lick him for ten hours?
Rapists, I feel, should upon DNA proof of guilt face the wery worst that medical science can devise, for as long as they can be kept alive to experience it.
I think we have our answer to why ammo is in seriously short supply.
Everybody and their brother is out wasting thousands of rounds of
ammo just so they can post a cool video on Youtube.
Can someone tell me, does a suppressor on a SAW serve a useful purpose?
I mean, if you’ve got your SAW in action, the bad guys probably know you’re out there, so is suppressing the sound of this weapon even necessary? If I’m going wind up my saw, then I want the bad guys to hear it, and fear it. Is someone out there designing a can for a Ma Deuce?
There already is one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iK502zQ8rs
None of this has anything to do with reducing violence, the Marxists simply want to ban guns. Violence is just a convenient and easily exploited crisis in their minds.
