Housekeeping: TTAG Dumps “Assault Ad”

In our ongoing effort to generate income, TTAG recently added an ad on the bottom of the page that popped-up as you scrolled down. Despite much appreciated support from members of our Armed Intelligentsia, the ad proved as popular as Johanna Lundbäck [above] at a Weight Watchers meeting. So we asked the ad’s provider to add an X opt out. That did precisely nothing to soothe the savage beast(s). In the face of ongoing opposition (including a long campaign by TTAG Test and Evaluation Editor Nick Leghorn) the pop-up will soon be sleeping with the fishes. I apologize for the inconvenience and aggravation generated by this commercial experiment. Rest assured that TTAG is fully committed to our readers’ satisfaction. Thank you for your patience and patronage.

  1. It’s the Denver Metro area, and Boulder, dictating what the rest of Colorado does. The majority of this state still opposes these unconstitutional bans and laws, and a lot of us stuck in Denver do as well. I completely understand the boycott that you out of towners will do, and fully support it. I don’t want to see Magpul leave, but I definitely don’t want to see them cave either. Here is a huge problem though…. They are doing this state by state because they haven’t successfully been able to take all of our 2A Rights at once. Your state will be affected, even if it takes a awhile. Look up what the Dems in Missouri, and now Minnesota are now doing. They are proposing confiscation bills, and if they pass, which they have a chance in a blue state, it gives all legal gun owners 90 days to turn in all rifles. This is mandatory. These people no longer feel that we are a threat to them any longer, and as long as this continues, we will all go down in flames, and end up with no freedoms or Rights at all.

  2. So does any of this make sense? They are limiting the number of rounds so those darn KILLERS can’t kill 20 or 30 people but they can kill 15? or whatever the number of rounds are that they decide are ‘ok’? You see their entire agenda is falling apart. They are not banning high capacity mags to control the killers. They are banning guns to control the law abiding citizens. Wouldn’t you all like to see the ‘big business’ oppose it ALL instead of coddling these idiots!!! Where is the outrage!? Looks to me like the patriots are compromising again!

  3. Here is what I don’t get about these laws. I own several AR type rifles and countless magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. A conservative estimate of the current market worth of what I have that would be banned: ~$20,000, maybe more. How could the govt legally force me to turn over to be destroyed $20,000 in private property? That is like the govt coming to my house and crushing my pickup. Doesn’t eminent domain require them to pay me market value for my property?

  4. Am I the only one who is noticed that the terrorist-supporting, anti-American bias having, Al-Jazeera does a better job reporting the news about our coutry than most of the news networks in our own country. I’m embarrassed to say that between Chris Matthews and people who celibrate suicide bombers, the people who celibrate suicide bombers have more gravitas.

  5. OUT EFFN STANDING. Thanks Larry. You still have and will continue to have my business. MidwayUSA has been great in these times of buying panics, for not gouging customers. You have had my business for 27 years and I hope it will continue for antoher 27.

  6. I like how he complains that all Robert does is “make fun of and demean” people then calls Robert an “idiot” and us “fools.” I also like how he uses the phrase “well thought out” in a rant that does not use paragraphs or, for that matter, hardly any punctuation at all. He says he is “a trained, ex marine.” Did we get trolled?

  7. Definitely not a marine. I’m not sure if they are just yanking your chain or this person actually believes what they wrote. One of my biggest complaints about the anti-gun folk is they know absolutely nothing about guns. While I don’t claim to be a firearms expert, I wouldn’t want to debate particle physics with an amateur physicist that builds particle accelerators in their spare time if I don’t know anything about particle physics. I might come out of the argument looking like a fool.

  8. because those ‘tough’ laws are so loose in their structure, outdated, and at all mandated and ‘controlled’

    Can anyone tell me what this is supposed to mean? I mean, anybody with a little imagination can see how intimidating it would be to see a man pierce body armor with a magazine (or I suppose, a soup can, or a brick, but I digress), but what on earth does it mean to say a law is “at all mandated and controlled?”

  9. “…also please tell me why do we need these 30 round, armour piercing mags…why do we need automatic firing weapons fed by these mags…handguns are possibly needed for say…home protection…that said uzi’s are NOT…that also said, handguns and those types of weapons are for NO OTHER purpose designed other than to KILL…

    As many have said above, this section is great evidence that this guy is full of crap. Nobody who was a Marine would make this many gun-related errors and blanket assumptions in one (rambling sentence). It’s just a shame that I had to get all the way to the last sentence before I could unreservedly call BS.

  10. As others have mentioned, he’s probably not an American, or he’s an American who thinks Armour hotdogs too much and that has affected his ability to spell.

    also ARMOUR PIERCING MAGS! I WANT ONE!

  11. when truth and reality are irrelevant, he can say and do anything he wants.

    And in his reality, truth, honor, common sense, and the welfare of the USA are, well, irrelevant.

  12. The quickest tip off you have a troll or liberal or both is when they have to resort to name calling or 4 letters words as they don’t really know what to say with out the white house puppet master telling them what to say. As a Military Family since WWI and now with my grand children, none of us call our self EX!! We ARE Marines.

  13. “‘It needs to be clear that manufacturers will be able to still sell and transfer these high-capacity magazines to individuals in other states, the U.S. military and law enforcement,” Kagan said. ”

    Umm, did he not read or understand what Magpul explicitly an clearly said?

    “If we’re able to stay in Colorado and manufacture a product, but law-abiding citizens of the state were unable to purchase the product, customers around the state and the nation would boycott us for remaining here.”

  14. I used to only buy from CTD when the price was the lowest. I think now I’d be willing to pay a little extra to compensate for the loss of sales to dramatic grudge holders such as those on this forum. Well maybe not, but it’s tempting.
    Sorry for the offensive tone, but I don’t feel that not offending people is a sufficient excuse for not making a point.
