Wait, aren’t there supposed to be fewer gun owners these days? Isn’t it the approved narrative of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex that there are only 37 old fat white guys left in the country who are buying up the millions of guns America’s firearm makers are cranking out? Maybe there are a couple of women sprinkled into that group after all. Why else would Oliver Willis of the lefty agitprop aggregator Media Matters for America feel the need to explain the existence of female firearms fans? . . .
So when in doubt – and you’re pretty much out of any other plausible argument – blame it on latent racism! That’s right, as Oliver sees it, the few deluded women who actually do support the RKBA are unwitting victims. Helpless dupes who’ve fallen victim to the deceptively convincing marketing in the dead tree gun mags telling them to tool up because there’s a darkie out there ready to ravage them when they least expect it. Oh, dear! Where’s a fainting couch when you need one?
Don’t think this kind of trenchant analysis an aberration for Mr. Willis, either. He played that little gem immediately after positing the novel theory that dudes are into guns because of their own inadequacy south of the equator, if you know what we mean. With original thinking like that, it’s hard to see why he’s wasting his time, mired in a dead-end gig writing for a third rate loony-left propaganda generator. Surely he can find more fulfilling employment working for, say, Michael Bloomberg, Dan Gross or Mark Kelly.
Every time I see an image of a scary guy in a gun magazine, he’s white.
Let Cafe Press know how you feel about this offensive product that promotes murder.
I did. And here’s a link to their contact page with the note I left them. Be nice.

“You are currently selling a sticker that states “Mom’s bring all politicians into the world. In 2014 we can take them out” showing a womans face with a wink. I am offended by your offering a product that suggests murder. I will not shop with you unless this product is removed from inventory.”
1st – So, women are too stupid to make decisions for themselves and get swayed by ads in magazines almost no one reads?
2nd – Actually, it’s the Left that’s always yammering on about magazine capacity. Gun owners just want to be left the hell alone.
.22 shortage is still in full effect up here. 9mm bulk packs and steel cased .223 comes and goes. The one place I found .22 wmr had it for $20/50.
This thread about women being scared that black men are going to rape them really got my attention. But I didn’t hit at the rape statement because it was late and I really couldn’t think of a great slammer.
@JayCaruso i know what the nra does. lies about guns, opposes all gun laws, gets rubes worked up about it.
mina smith @minasmith64 14h
@owillis @JayCaruso Lie, lie, lie, makes fun of people who live in flyover country. Remind me who the intolerant, lying bigots are again?
mina smith @minasmith64 13h
@GRAAmerica @AlphaRomeo223 @owillis … and why do you get to call me a “rube”? Can I call you names, too? Equally offensive? hmmmm.
How about playing the crotch card(LOL). Men obsessed with others endowment suck. Literally
I know it passed the Assembly but it has not been voted on yet by the rubber-stamp Senate so it’s not on Christie’s desk yet. I really feel he’ll veto it like he did the 50 cal ban. His reasoning will be like Carroll’s, the bill makes no sense.
I’ll guess a bit of a twist on the ‘projection” element: Ol’ Oliver would really like to think he is the oversexed black dude all those women are scared of. There, I’ve played the “psych card” too…
Dear TTAG,
Why the H3LL are you posting pics of people wearing THAT flag?
Whatever your position on what the flag actually represents, TTAG is free to choose what it posts and can use some G%dammed descretion in choosing it’s message. This photo is going to hurt more than help by far,especially if it starts floating around some Lefty outlet or just one of the late night shows.
And the irony is that on the day you make another post about gun owner diversity, you put up a pic to represent us that is of that old white guy who is (possibly) racist.
Man, just delete this post…
-Jumbie (who is not white, not old and not racist, but pleads guilty to being a guy)
Democrats/liberal/progressives.
The party of racism and the support of slavery; they continue the tradition of racism by supporting affirmative action and the promotion of slavery by general disarmament.
They also continue this tradition in defending a gangster culture that glorifies being a criminal and hates on those that want to get a good education by telling them they are being “like whitey” or if they get a blue collar job they are being an Uncle Tom.
So the end result is a poverty stricken underclass that looks to their “masters(democrats)” for protection and patronage.
And here I go carrying a 22 because it is easier to conceal. I must be a horse.
I thought that in the dark all cats are grey.
The imagery associated with the term “take them out” is troubling but it’s NOT the first time the anti-2nd Amendment cabal belonging to “the Left” (Democrats) has stooped to calling for violence against gun owners and their supporters. In fact this is no different than what Rep. Carolyn “My Son Is A Vegetable Because He Didn’t Have A Gun on The LIRR Train” McCarthy (D-NY) said on the day the so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban expired under George W. Bush. The taxpayer financed drool wiper and diaper changer actually appeared “live” on DNCTV (MSNBC) standing on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and pleaded with her minions encouraging them “to ‘take out’ President Bush” due his refusal to cow to her demands on prohibiting firearms she finds offensive to Liberal sensibilities.
I dunno what the current shelf stock is, I stocked up when Clinton was President.
Like Thomas Sowell puts it, liberal denfed policies based on intent, not results. Thus it’s not surprising that these folks at the Brady Campaign don’t care about the facts. They are out there to prohibit guns, all of them. If innocent people die–as they always will when only criminals and the government can have guns–, they don’t care and they won’t pay a price. They only care about what they perceive as good intentions.
So, what dose that say about me wishing I could own an SBR? Or dose it only count for handguns?
Unless there is a vertical coffin with a body on the right, the American flag is hanging backwards.
The blue goes on the Flag’s own right, unless it is on a coffin, in which case the blue goes over the heart.
It’s a parody of bad images.
Wait. Don’t you remember that study that showed that since a higher percent of black people are killed with firearms, firearm ownership is inherently racist?

Am I “compensating”?
Given:
– A bum knee so I currently cannot run.
– Shoulder surgery/repair has left my upper body weak.
– Prostate cancer survivor, but with a bit of hormonal imbalance remaining from treatment.
– Being 62 figures into the equation.
So, yeah – I am “compensating”. Deal with it.
Is that Fred Phelps? Thought he was dead…
Up in my area of Upstate NY, LGS has all the usuals except 380 and 22LR. 500 and 1000 round boxes of .223/5.56 are reasonably easy to come by, 9mm and 45acp were even in Walmart.
Lots of comments about buying ammo online: we who are trapped in NY can’t do that any more.
Yeah, yeah, I’ll move when I find a job that pays and then I still need to sell my house, which is only worth marginally more than I owe on it.
Magazines still exist?
If they do, why exactly does this guy think women are reading them in the first place to even see the ads he’s claiming exist?
I have a muzzle break on the end of my gun, only to compensate for the hell of a kick it has!
But if I’m not mistaken, did she not leave the house, retrieve her gun, then come back in an fire the warning shot? So she was able to flee the situation, then returned to it with a gun. So how would this new “warning shot” provision help her?
Ha! Saiga 12.
Check out the YouTube videos showing what a hunk of junk the UTS is.
I thought these images were all about supporting Connecticut. Why read more into the images than that?
You know, I’ve wondered how an alien abduction attempt would go down in an armed household.
Perhaps there’s a file hidden someplace of a “home invasion of the Third Kind”.
Check out Harry Turtledove’s science fiction novel series “World War”. The aliens depend on a drone inspection of Neolithic herdsmen armed with clubs and spears to decide if an invasion is doable. By the time their main fleet arrives, though, it is 1942, the whole world is armed to the teeth, and things don’t quite go as planned.
The series runs to six novels, but any of the first couple can stand alone. Very entertaining!
Turtledove is also the author of “The Guns of the South”, about time traveling South Africans who equip the Confederacy with AK-47s, so their “future” will be more friendly to racial repression. He also did a series on
WW-I with the premise of an independent Confederacy allied with Canada and England versus America and Germany.
He is generally credited as the king of “alternative history”.
Haven’t heard great things about the UTS. I’ll go with the semi-auto.
I wish the UTS-15 wasn’t such a piece of crap. It looks so cool…
My fone and consult with an attorney. Making decisions is too tough anymore.
Am I the only person that hums Lipstick by Guttermouth every time I see the MDA logo?
no no NO.
you grab that M41A pulse rifle you ordered out of the Weyland Yutani catalog months before (you DID order that months before RIGHT?) and break out those sonic electronic ball breakers just because one weapon would be boring on its own.
I don’t like the blue, it looks like a Sym gun. They should make it in ODG or FDE.
Doesnt it seem like such a high profile website devoted exclusively to the firearm industry would already know that the firearms they are trying to compare are complete garbage? Reviews of these shotguns have been around for a long time now and its pretty common knowledge that they are useless. It just seems pretty silly to see an article on TTAG with this title when most readers already know to stay away from these guns completely.
Utas 15 is from what I’ve read a horrible gun
The bottom one. It looks more badass-er
Walmart has dropped their 3 box limit, except .22lr.
Price only slightly higher than before Obama spoke.
All I need is some money to spend
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
I’d like to remind them that as a trusted internet personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
Neither.
I’ll stick with my 870 Express if I need a scattergun, thanks.
And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.”
Luke 22:36
No need to wonder, I think the Gospel makes quite clear how Jesus felt about “packing heat”.
tdiivna, I know, the private contractor I used to work for sent guys into Libya when things started getting nasty, I unfortunately (depending on how you look at it), was working in the Afghanistan at the time. All these armed militias are affiliates of AQ and and are primarily comprised of al- Shabab fighters. Now I am focusing in my degree
Once upon a time US school kids used to salute the flag every morning with their hand raised in what we now call the ‘Nazi salute’. If the US were to cite that history and say, ‘hey, it wasn’t always about der fuhrer you know,’ I’m sure no one here will have a problem with going back to that salute, right?
The true history of the battle flag is irrelevant. Just like it’s irrelevant what the word ‘gay’ or ‘faggot’ used to mean. Just like it’s irrelevant that easter used to be a pagan holiday for the goddess Eostre.
Meaning is created in the heads of people and the people in the middle ground that we want to reach aren’t going to sit down for 15 minutes to hear a lesson about 1860, much less be convinced afterwards that you aren’t still secretly (or semi-secretly) racist.
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
I would grab the one that works. Which, in this case, is a big stick if my only options are those two overpriced shitboxes.
Gun violence epidemic? Public health issue? WTF? Urban gun violence problems are highly concentrated among a small number of high-risk people and high-risk places. [Anthony Braga]

I like his show. Gun control is 1 of the few topics I disagree with him on. Dennis miller is another story. I have no idea how he got famous.
Who gives a damn about this article…that girl is fine as hell! More pics of her please.
Is “illegal camping” a capital offense? They simultaneously shot him and hit him with a “Taser”?? A “Taser” is a CATTLE PROD. And a police dog was rushing towards him? Would YOU get down on the ground with a dog charging towards you?
Whom, exactly, was he hurting? I wouldn’t want a homeless crazy person living over the fence near where I live, but I don’t see that the cops did anything but execute the guy. They set up a scenario where they could shoot him and then they did exactly that.
I appreciate that police work is thankless, but that video looks like a plain old murder to me. Regardless of how it’s painted.
Big bend outfitters in Perry Florida. Excellent staff. The owner is young but knows his stuff and is enthusiastic to help anyone who comes in. He also a primarily female staff and is friendly to everyone. Prices are awesome he actually beats wal mart
This is unfortunate, but it hardly surprises me. My father in law has worked for Lockheed Martin for over 30 years as an engineer and has traveled all over the country to different military bases and he said that he would arrive a day early before they had to start work or stay a day late pretty often and most times he would see if he could get on base with out using his Id he said that more than 50% of the time he could get on and no one would ask for ID or take a second look at him. I also said that not much changed even after 911 he said that it usually had to do with who was on duty. You have those that take it seriously that would check him and his ID every time even if they had checked him the day before and those that could care less. Training and protocols do jack if those in charge of upholding it could care less.
