Three friends were getting ready to tee off on the golf course when a single guy walked up and asked if he could join them. They agreed to make it a foursome. While waiting to tee it up on the fourth hole, a par five, one of the three asked the stranger what he did for a living. He replied that he was an assassin. They all stopped and stared at him. He told them not to worry, that none of them were his targets . . .
They asked him how he usually killed people and he pulled an AI rifle in .308 with a Nightforce scope out of his golf bag. The three admired the fine gun and Bill asked if he could look through the scope as his house was near the next green, about 500 yards away. The assassin said sure, and handed the rifle to Bill.
As Bill was looking through the scope he said, “Hey, my wife is in our bedroom, and she’s naked!” A moment later he shouted, “HEY! My neighbor Mikey is there and he’s naked, too!” Then he asked the assassin how much he would charge to kill the two cheaters.
The hit man said he’d charge $10,000 apiece.
Bill handed the rifle back and said, “Done. Can you shoot my wife in the mouth? I’m done listening to her whining and complaining. Oh and shoot Mikey’s Johnson off for cheating with her!”
Several minutes pass as the hit man stared through the scope when Bill asks him what was taking so long.
The hit man says “Hang on, I think I can give you a two for one shot.”

I think if dueling were legal (perhaps not to the death, but in some fashion) there’d be a lot more civility and a lot less asshattery in general. If you had reasonable suspicion that your words could get your ass kicked, maybe you’d choose them more carefully.
I rarely recommend movies, but by all means rent (or buy, as I did) “The Duelists.” It’s a man’s movie about honor and beautifully filmed by Ridley Scott.
Another example of an over edumacated (brainwashed) intellectual without common sense. When violence presents itself we (on average) resort to our fight or flight instincts and the time in which that happens doesn’t allow for a self awareness inventory to take place. The criminal isn’t there to have a philosophical debate with you they are there to get what they want from you by whatever means at their disposal.
The red flag for me was the “injuries” angle. Clearly they needed bigger numbers and the death they required was not there – so they expanded to injuries.
Now can anyone guess how egregious the numbers would get for the categories of drowning, poisoning, asphyxiation, etc. would get if we included those that were injured but survived?
Yeah.
Looks cool.
Oh, for Christ on a Cracker.
You, as a competent shooter, would have been better off to spend that money on a class to learn how it feels when your gun is nearing empty in the excitement of shooting, as opposed to some do-dad that’s bound to fail when the chips are down or that is going to distract you when you’re fighting for your life.
Give it the fecal product of the year consideration.

Doesn’t Shannon Watts live near a golf course?
Just say’in…
Right up there with the infamous M1 Garand “clip ping”. Which was a bug, not a feature, and came at no extra cost.
“Dude’s – he’s blinking red! Let’s rush him!”
“Dangerous Ammo Thresholds” sounds like a Bloombergism.
Not to mention it requires a proprietary follower be installed in the magazine.
And then there is this gem from the product page:
“This is the first accessory of its kind and can benifit the user and almost every way possible.”
I wonder if Glock is going to do like Springfield did on the XDS? Comes out in a .380 and then introduce the 9mm a year later. I would think that it would be really easy to change up the .380 to 9mm. Might be one of the reasons that it is a little big for a .380, but probably a sweet size for a later 9mm? If they had introduced the 9mm first, I doubt many people would have bought a .380 later.
If I had $169 to waste, this would be far down the list, if it made the list at all. Sorry, but it does nothing for me.
The only way America could be disarmed would be door to door searches and confiscations which would lead to armed insurrection almost immediately. There are too many of us who won’t just surrender our weapons without a fight.
Even if it were possible somehow to simultaneously confiscate all of the guns in the United States, it would be a matter of days, possibly hours, before the first of many zip guns were made, or foreign guns smuggled in, or police/military weapons stolen.
See also at least two other English-speaking countries that have tried this.
ETA: the only time national firearm confiscation was done with any real success was Samurai Japan. http://www.amazon.com/Giving-Up-Gun-Reversion-1543-1879/dp/0879237732
The Russian mob, MS-13 and the drug cartels will be importing weapons within weeks if not days. No, the country cannot be disarmed by law. It can only happen if the citizens decide to do it themselves.
So, basically, the Mexican government is trying to maintian the illusion that they’re still in charge by legalizing what the populace had already been doing, sans government permission.
If we fail to understand history because history always, always repeats itself. We who come to this website are high information voters. If we study the modus operandi of our adversaries (commie/libs) & we are on top of their methods. The chances of this country being disarmed is low but if we give them an inch they will take a mile. If they can’t get straight out disarmament they will go for making the process of getting guns more & more difficult, eg California microstamping & the process of getting a handgun within the 5 boros of NYC. Here in NYC we need to repeal the Sullivan Act of 1911.
I wish that Billy made more videos.
Back to “The Quick and the Dead” days? No thanks.
I kept reading G2R’s URL as G2 RAMMO. That just made the video and product sound more over the top than they already are. I lol’d.
It’s articles like this that keep me coming back to TTAG. Looks like my search for a .308 barrel just changed considerably.
Now, if we could only get rid of those pesky NFA restrictions…
Where’s Chris Mallory’s comment denying constitutional rights to government employees?
I’m not sure if that’s Gestapo-y, KGB-y, or just plain old fashion creep-y. At any rate, the argument is rarely presented so plainly.
