Atlanta Preacher to Protest Urban Violence at GLOCK HQ

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

Why keep all the anti-gun attention on ARs and other “military-inspired weapons of war?” One Atlanta preacher figures it’s time to expand things a little. According to ajc.com, “Demonstrators who say the national debate on gun control shouldn’t focus only on assault weapons are gearing up to rally at the corporate headquarters of GLOCK Inc. in Smyrna.” Hutchins will be showing up outside GLOCK’s corporate offices tonight at 6:00 p.m., just in time to make the evening newscasts. The rabble rousing reverend and failed political candidate probably figures (correctly) that even if he can only muster a dozen or so folks with nothing better to do than carry signs and chant a few pre-rehearsed slogans, he’ll still get plenty of positive pub. It’ll be interesting to see how many gun rights supporters show up to counter Hutchins’ media-driven dog and pony show.

  1. That’s why we need to harp on the “Gun Free Zones” being the places these killers go.

    And push for having armed security, formal or informal, at our schools.

    Every time it happens in a Gun Free Zone we need to harp on the “Gun Free Zone” status. And mental health issues.

  2. I would buy a Noveske hammer with their emblem etched in the head. Why not?

    The realist in me says that it was probably never for sale. It was a one off and they set the flag to “Temporarily Out of Stock” the moment they put it up.

    But it’s fun just the same.

  3. I got a good chuckle out of it. It doesn’t hurt that really was intentionally funny.

    Much better than the laughing I do instead of crying, reading most of these.

    • From what I have heard the mother was a “prepper” convinced society was going to collapse. A 10mm could have been that first panic purchase when she felt she needed a gun “right now” or got a good deal on it.

  4. What’s SIG doing? I want a Sig 556R, dammit, but I’m not willing to pay $2000 for it on Gunbroker. My FFL just laughed at me when asked about ordering one.

  5. On the whole, I think that celebrities are subject matter experts on guns just as much as gunshot victims are. Which is to say that they are not. However, when one takes the time to learn about the issues (ala Bruce Willis) it is easy to respect their position. Not because it jibes with my own, but because it demonstrates that he has actually taken the time to learn about the issue instead of taking the lemming approach and parrot what others are saying because it’s popular.

    I’m not an absolutist, but every time the politicians pass laws that have no net effect except to bar legitimate gun owners from having or exercising 2A rights, I get closer and closer to becoming one.

  6. Go home and play chess on your own time (and dime) ya jerk. How about doing what you’re paid to do, you know…what’s the word…oh yes, WORK!

  7. The majority of police are well meaning and want to help. Most are highly trained. A few bad apples create a bad image. However, no matter how well meaning the department and officers are, they can’t get to your house quick enough to stop that armed intruder before he kills you, rapes your wife and daughters.

  8. Only one (1) 30 round “high capacity” magazine was found with the rifle?
    According to the coroner the childeren were each shot between 3 and 11 times with .223 cal. rifle; a total of between 60- 220 rounds fired. Witnesses have reported hearing “…hundreds of shots fired” .
    When did the shooter have time to reload the 30 round magazine ???

  9. Apparently this company is an online retailer without any retail locations which would be a more difficult business model to move to Alabama. Unless physical location of an online business really matters to a firm I don’t see why (from a business viewpoint) any would want to be in California, NY, etc.

    Good luck to them!

  10. I wonder if Ruger is feeling heat from being at ground zero of the new disarmament movement.

    I guess it could move everything to AZ if needed, but there’s plenty of down south states that might welcome it.

  11. “Left-leaning” Wikipedia? I never noticed. Can you give examples?

    Another small point: since SPIRIT appears only on SWA flights, this might not actually qualify as “publishing” an article. Maybe one can get a paid subscription, although why I cannot fathom.

    And are we really supporting EXCISE TAXES here? No one asked ME.

  12. You guys are forgetting the good news in all this. Surely the criminals and gang members in Oakland and other crime infested areas will read the new laws and obey them to the letter. There will no longer be a need to lock doors, store owners will not need cameras to identify the non existent robbers – it will be utopia.
