The gun control lobby hasn’t taken well to their recent defeat in the U.S. Senate. They’re bitching and moaning and polling and promising to revive their dead background check bill. The anti-gun grumbling is, in the main, mainstream media misegos. The public has moved on. Why wouldn’t they? Miniature Schnauzers have a longer attention span (and I mean that in the nicest possible way to both man and beast). To keep the anti-gunners’ juices flowing, the gun grabbers have changed the subject. Dancing in the blood of innocents, again, still, they’ve used the Boston Marathon bombing as an excuse to return to the subject of the “terror gap.” Folks, we shot this one down more than two years ago. To recap . . .
No one knows how you get on the FBI’s Terrorist Watch List. No one knows how you get off the FBI’s Terrorist Watch List. To take away an American’s gun rights based on a secret government list, without anything even remotely resembling due process, is fascism. Pure and simple.
The fact that the Mayors Against Legal Illegal Guns is happy to promote this video—which contains a ridiculous assertion that anyone can buy a fully automatic rifle at a gun show without so much as a driver’s license—shows you that the anti-gun lobby believes the ends justify the means.
Make no mistake: the end they seek is [more] complete control over the populace. Big Brother. Big Government. Gun free. They will say and do anything to achieve “gun safety” (a.k.a., civilian disarmament). To wit this from bostonherald.com:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino brought the Boston Marathon bombing case into the national gun debate yesterday, pushing to close the so-called “terror gap” in federal gun laws, and questioning how Tamerlan Tsarnaev got his hands on a gun.
“Right now there are thousands of people on terror watch lists who are considered too dangerous to fly on a plane, but when it comes to buying an assault weapon — no problem. It’s crazy,” Menino said.
A 2011 federal study found that more than 1,400 people on terror watch lists tried to buy weapons from 2004 through 2010 — and 91 percent were successful.
Did these purchasers even know they were on a (note: not “the”) terror watch list? Were they told the reason their purchase was denied? Did the feds tell them which list they were on? Were they given a chance to get off the list?
Talk about a police state . . .
Same as it ever was. Which is why the Founding Fathers had the forethought to make the right to keep and bear arms the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Just remind them there loved ted Kennedy was also on the list once so How about we add liberal Fascist to the list LOL.
It’s my belief that even death does not remove one from a terror watch list. What do they know they’re not telling us?
Amazing the BS spewed as fact by those who have an agenda. Ask any of the people watching or supporting these ads-have you been to a gun show? The likely response will be “I heard……”, when the truth is likely “never’. they heard an agenda driven ad, but with no actual experience they will allow themselves to be herded, as the Sheeple they are.
About damned time.
I have a Miniature Schnauzer and I resent the fact that my dog which is quite smart and has a long memory is being compared to the general public.
It’s a bummer that I’m trapped behind the lines in Colorado. Nevertheless, I’m curious to know how they compare to TAPCO and US Palm.
Yes the likely hood is low that I will ever have to draw on someone. It is also unlikely I will ever have a fire in my home but we still have a fire escape plan. Not super likely I will be in a potentially fatal car accident, but I wear a seatbelt. Not likely I will get struck by lightning but we always get out of the pool when we hear thunder. So preparing for danger is ridiculous? This man is a fool.
Ooooo…..I must get some to help finance some SKS mags.
This along with the PDX1 7.62×39 make my growing personal debate over AR or AK all the more challenging.
Thanks Magpul.
The Newtown Families of Perpetual Sorrow went to New Jersey today to add their star power tot he anti-gun cultist fight against the eeevil pro-Second Amendment types.

It didn’t take the gun grabbers long to try and link terrorism to the need for gun control. The media elite were hoping for a right-wing conservative that was armed to the teeth. This didn’t seem to work out for the Progressives. If anything, it should remind the public that no one can guarantee safety.
Looking forward to these. Magpul quality and their reasonable prices give me every reason to buy a few.
Sounded great until “starting at $1,800”
I bought a DB9 on 11/18/13 at a local Gander Mountain store and I must say the only smart thing I did that day was spending the $29.99 in store cleaning and free mfg. return policy. After having so many failures to feed with multiple types of 9mm ammo I was ready to throw in the towel on this handgun. It was at time that the front of the slide snapped off. I was using UMC 115 grain FMJ ammo. I took the DB9 back to Gander Mountain on 4/1/13 and they returned it. As of today (4/30/13) I still have not heard back from Diamondback or Gander Mountain. I will be calling Diamondback tomorrow but at this point I’m not happy at all and would prefer to have my money back instead of a new firearm. I do not feel confident that this firearm will ever be one that I would trust my life with.
What’s up to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from this web page, and your views are pleasant in favor of new people.
Robert… is that a Chive reference? Mind the Gap!?
FLBP fan here. Underb@@b rocks too.
May (if he gets his way) the future tyrannical ‘Big’ government turn this bastard into a pelvic ashtray.
You guys totally ripped off that picture from a user on Glock Talk. Thats pretty pathetic. Take your own pics or give credit for the awesome photography.
I’m entitled, you’re not. The root of just about every problem in today’s society.
This seems like a poor idea. If you are at a static range, punching paper, well, ok, but in a home defense, or professional protection/contractor/warfighter situation, who has time to put that crap on, and be able to get it off for malfunction clearing, mag changes, or transition to support weapon?
If you want/need an SBR, get an SBR, if you are in a state that prohibits, and you have no means to get one, I.e., special permits etc, go another direction.
Reading the request, it sounds like they’re doing more than just asking for an extension on the CCW bill. I don’t speak legalese (or jive). At the top of page 7 it appears they’re asking for a certiorari petition. As near as I can tell, they’re asking SCOTUS (Kagan) for an extension so they can write another request to SCOTUS to review the lesser courts opinions (and contradictions)??
