I’m not so sure about arming Syrian “rebels.” You may recall that both sides of the conflict were united in their opposition to Israel’s air strike against Hezbollah fighters inside the country. Israel is our only true friend in that part of the world. And while the enemy of our friend is our enemy, some our legislators don’t see it that way. “A top Senate Democrat nudged the Obama administration to provide weapons to the Syrian opposition,” foxnews.com reports, “introducing a bill Monday that would explicitly allow the U.S. to provide arms, military training and non-lethal aid to the rebels.” That would be Senator Robert Menendez. Of New Jersey. A state that refuses to allow its citizens to exercise their civil, human and Constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms. I wonder how the Senator feels about U.S. citizens who rebel against the Garden State’s Democrat regime.
There is a major difference between those who value Mr. Pincus’ suggestions and the gun-grabbers and their allies in the mainstream media: We were taught gun safety, with parents generally starting very young. I remember my father relentlessly drilling me on the basics of gun safety when I was a child. He gave me a BB gun when I turned five and my first rifle and shotgun when I turned ten. By that time, I could have told you the four basic rules of gun safety as readily as I could have told you the pledge of allegiance.
My parents kept loaded guns in several parts of our house, secured but easily accessible in an emergency. They weren’t worried that my sister and I would try to treat them as toys because we had been thoroughly and carefully trained.
The issue of whom is backing whom is backing whom in the middle east, and all of central Asia for that matter is mindbogglingly convoluted. Any person who seriously thinks that arming the syrian opposition won’t come back to bite the U.S in the ass has very short term memory. Hell, I wasn’t even alive when they trained the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets, and we all (hopefully) know how that ended up.
Regardless of any shiny new toys the U.S may give them, the U.S still supports Israel, and that’s all they’ll see. The U.N should have been in Syria at the very first sign of any internal conflict that violated international law (in theory), they waited too long, and now it is all such a clusterf**** no one knows what to do. The world shouldn’t feel like in needs the U.S to be the first to step in, but unfortunately, that’s the way some folks see it.
New Yorkers, as a people, are collectively depressed.
Why, you might ask?
The light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey.
For all those libs wetting their panties at the Az militia. If the feds would do their job a state militia would not be needed.
This is old news on so many levels. I laughed when I first read this because, even two years ago, this bill had long been preceded by the AZ Constitution:
Chapter 1, Article 2, Rev. Statute 26-124:
A. When the governor proclaims an emergency, and, upon advice of the adjutant general, determines that the national guard does not have sufficient troops to meet the emergency, the governor may authorize the adjutant general to accept for service from the unorganized militia a specified number of volunteers.
B. If the governor deems an emergency of a nature that all or a large portion of the unorganized militia should be called into service of the state, s/he shall by proclamation order all members of the unorganized militia to enroll with the county recorder of the county in which they reside…The persons called into service shall be determined by lot in accordance with a plan devised by the governor and implemented by him/her…
C. Upon mobilization for state purposes members of the unorganized militia shall be organized under the command of the officer the governor designates into units comparable to units of the national guard.
Elsewhere in the constitution the unorganized militia is defined as:
Section 1. The militia of the state of Arizona shall consist of all capable citizens of the state between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, and of those between said ages who shall have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, residing therein, subject to such exemptions as now exist, or as may hereafter be created, by the laws of the United States or of this state.
So, if you’re an Arizona resident and fall within the age perimeters, Congratulations! You’re already in the state’s militia.
Bob the Child Molester? Hahahaha.
Korea – part seven.
Where was Colion Noir at the convention? Why was he not a featured speaker? He is more entertaining than Frank Caliendo. Has a lot more to say to impact gun owners too.
Was very disappointed his voice was not put to better use.
Did not read all comments, so maybe someone else hit this. And since we continue to be gripped by racial issues, I’m an OFWG lest you question my motives for the statement.
Um… What’s a “bunfight”? Now I want to see that. Two Brazilian beauties bunfighting!
Not what you’re thinking. Imagine instead two portly gentlemen pointlessly tossing dinner rolls at each other in a posh restaurant.
Though if it makes you happy, I suppose they could be Brazilian agriculture magnates or something.
The main issue I have with the original SVD was it was probably too light.
It was very long but balanced nicely, but it had a firm recoil.
Just looking at this image I suspect the much heavier barrel will increase its weight and make it rather more comfortable to fire and of course the heavy barrel will improve accuracy and follow up shot recovery.
The angle of the scope and the sheer size of the scope suggests this rifle is for the Army (SVU was for police and paramilitary use out to only about 400m) , and along with the heavy barrel I would expect this rifle is intended for 800m use in the old calibre, and possibly more in the “new” calibre.
It has a long barrel for a bullpup, so I suspect accuracy is a priority with this design, with the bullpup design resulting in a smaller weapon without losing barrel length.
The SVU shortened the barrel to make it more compact, though the horrendous muzzle blast required a fairly large muzzle can to be fitted to make it tolerable to fire.
How bout it, neighborly Utahns? Can’t let the ‘zonies have all the fun can we? I’m game if y’all are. I’ll even kick up my running that I’m terrible at keeping up on.
They couldn’t get background checks, THIS TIME. Like the bodysnatchers, all we have to do is go to sleep ONCE and they’ll slide something like this through. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
I like this guy. Started watching him about 8 months ago. He’s exactly what the NRA needs. And, like the previous video on women and guns….maybe the NRA is reading TTAG?
Way to go Arizona!
Just this morning I read that the US DofD has told Congress that have absolute conviction the military’s new plans and systems can control the next wave of attempted illegal immigration.
That’s right Colion. You’re just a house **gga. Or maybe an Uncle Tom. Or maybe…. aww w helll, I’m sure the haters have a few more choice words for you. That’s the way things are in the good ole USA these days.
Keep fighting the good fight.
The proposition of historically ignorant upfuckery of this magnitude could only be spawned in New “double standard” Jersey. Let Syria go to hell in a hand basket for all I care. This is their fight to finish, not ours to get involved with.
To be clear ,I am an atheist
My question is ,when the left is concerned about the religious right why are they not concerned about “Allah Akbar “?
And some folks wonder why i consider religion as a whole a scourge on humanity.
Rob,
Sound bites and lies used to demonize people who advocate sensible education for our youth and offspring. To be expected. Essayons brother, Essayons…
I’m pretty sure these new, recognized by the state, militia members could use their status to get around the NFA, using the same forms cops and national guard use to buy actual assault rifles.
I might need to move, unless Kasich gets a hint.
Yes you can, but it’s mostly confined to “on duty”. BTW Ohio already has a Militia (Ohio Military Reserve) as well as a Naval Militia.
The gun grabbers think they have it all figured out. OFWGs are all republican gun loving gun nuts. Everyone else isn’t. Particularly, Soccer Moms, The “educated” youth, religious folk who aren’t Protestant, and urban Blacks and Hispanics. Hence the “token” tag on someone like Mr. Colion Noir. You see, Colion is saying things that takes the antis out of their comfort zone. He represents an anomaly to those who claimed they knew how any given group feels on a particular issue, as well he should. In a country of over 300 million diverse people, for ANYONE to claim they can pigeonhole a sector of the population to a given ideology is nothing other than self aggrandizement. “These folks all fall on this or that side, because my highly educated self says so.” Ergo the rest of the country should just accept what these talking heads say and line up accordingly. They got it wrong with him as well as many others. Hell, if I were to fall into their parameters of where they think I “belong”, I would be a Bible thumping, pro life, open border, anti gun zealot. I am a New York Rican who is actually atheist, pro choice, secure borders and pro gun. I guess that would make me in their words an “anomaly”. So be it.
OFWG here. I loathe so much “urban” culture. Where the absolute worst features of our society are glamorized.
And then you got this dude. Speaking truth to power indeed. President of the NRA. Hell no. That’s shooting way too low. I’d vote for him for POTUS! In a heartbeat. Why could someone this worthy not have been our first black president?
He just has to knock the “progressives” for a loop, ’cause he looks you in the eye an tells the truth. You know progressives can’t stand that. It is the narrative that is important, the truth must yield to that.
Wouldn’t some naked honesty be a blessing from our elected officials?
Buy you a beer anytime, Colion.
This really is great news, not only because it helps the 2A community, but it also means that…gun violence is down! And that’s really a good thing, despite gun ownership being up. Maybe those CWP classes are helping? Maybe gun owners in general are taking safety more seriously?
The down side is that until the average understands this (meaning unless the mainstream media pushes it) it will remain largely unheard.
“we have a presentation to give” … This wouldn’t be a presentation to promote the proposted “Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act” which would outlaw unlicensed manufacture of plastic frames and magazines, would it?
I wouldn’t trust them with one. Since the detectors at airports allow a measure of adjustment of their sensitivy, it would be easy enough to tune the scanner so that it could not detect the metal firing pin. (Which, of course, isn’t saying that most airports currently have theirs adjusted to detect it … I’ve been at numerous airports. Some would detect the smallest bits of metal–such as the snaps on my shirt–and some wouldn’t detect my keys and belt buckle.)
Never release any information about how to make a gun, plans, blueprints, because first of all as an inventor it will effect your patent rights, copyrights, and you will lose control of the device. Also by releasing such information it will be used against the inventor, creator, and helps ban this device as new legislation is crafted for such a ban. Terrorists and anybody can get a gun for money (cash). I believe the real way to stop these terrorists is to first of all find a way to screen for plastics and glass. Second the death penalty for anybody who attempts to sneak a weapon thru security for the purpose of committing a crime should die! If you sneak a gun on an airplane for the purpose of terrorism death is the penalty. Enough playing around!
. Ground zero for this “culture war” on guns: women. Like it or not, women are often are the final (if not only) arbiter of whether or not there’s a gun in the home.
Only for beta males like RF, who is known to have been pegged by his ex-wives.
What if the kid was just insinuating that the other kid smelled bad by pointing and and saying, “pew, pew, … You stink.” Lol
Two hits with one shot? The NYPD would never accomplish that in a million years…..
I see Joe Manchin has been using Sarah Palin’s former speechwriter.
