“I started off this process thinking, as do many of my political coreligionists, that reducing gun violence is simply a matter of will, and of overcoming the Neanderthals at the National Rifle Association (NRA). But I have learned that it is not, and that if we really want to reduce gun violence, we should be focusing not first upon the weapons but on a lot of things around it: poverty, drugs, race, addressing mental illness, opportunity, and gangs, to name just a few.” – Former NPR CEO Ken Stern in An excerpt from ‘Republican Like Me’ [via msnbc.com]

Who gives a Flying Rats-@$$ What this Knuckle-F@$k says! He’s obviously another one of these self-proclaimed authoritarians that are coming out of the woodwork! Eventually, there’s just going to be another American Civil War if this keeps going…For We the People will be duking it out in the streets with these want-to-be Totalitarians! I doubt anyone here wish to see their Freedoms and Liberties continuing to deteriorate in lots of other states….
Stay away from NPR. Stay away from it’s employees and formee employees. It’s impossible to listen to those feminist voiced pansies and their reporting on subjects they don’t understand. Stay away from them, do not interview or participate with them in any way. TTAG, listen up because we don’t want to hear from them here. This is for us, not them.
How many voted for Hillary? 65 million? Not going to be able to get every one of them to take a year off for travel in the heartland. Matter of fact alot of them live in the heartland. So this is a simply what we have to live with for the next 1000 years.
A shotgun that fires miniature dildos along with a cloud of glass shards. For that “hard to buy for” hardcore fetishist on your Christmas list.
This doesn’t strike me as any different from the “terrorists” that the government helps create and facilitate and then *ta da* capture and tout as a huge win for the “War on Terror” (trademarked) crowd.
Yeah… it’s not like muslim terrorists have been fucking with our country since the 1800s or anything… I hate to break this to you, but the “war on [islamic] terror” has been going for over 200 years. Go look up the Barbary corsairs.
Like I said, same thing with James Eagan Holmes in Aurora, CO. It’s an evil POS (D) INSIDE JOB, to fit the gun-grabbing agenda. If they didn’t pay the aholes to do it, they certainly set up all the parameters and waited for it to play out.
Just got a 9mm. Now I need ammo.
I don’t shock easily anymore, but this information has me taken aback. It was my opinion that AL was lost in some sort of fantasy world which drove him to his murder spree, but the indication his violent acting out was deliberately and, possibly, meticulously planned is beyond what I thought he was capable of. To find-out the Sandy Hook PD knew he was up to something so heinous, and did nothing is beyond the pale.
I’m an anarcho-capitalist and I agree with you. I personally would be happy to live under a minarchist, constitutional republic to which I consented. I believe that is what Jefferson was referring to when he wrote about a revolution every generation. If a generation has not tested the current government, they haven’t consented to it. The Constitution hasn’t reigned supreme in this land since before I was even born. Your current government has breached the contract long ago. That makes it illegitimate and its agents criminals. Although I continue to fight and struggle for the defense of individual Liberty every day, I know that the long game is a loser for the individual under the current government. As I’ve written many times before, governments are relatively immortal whereas individuals only have one life to live. Deprive an individual of Liberty for his lifetime and you have deprived him of his Liberty forever. A government can be wrong many times but the individual often only has one chance to be wrong. Because governments exist across generations, Liberty will never be restored piecemeal.
The Second Amendment has no limitations. It doesn’t matter what an individual posesses, just if he violates someone else’s Liberty using it. The Supreme Court never possessed the power of Judicial Review. It made that privilege up for itself out of thin air. Since that time, the court has been used to usurp power from the People. The contract has long been breached. The system is broken. It must be dismantled and made a new by those consenting… or not remade at all.
Don’t like the ‘if you ain’t a surgical-ninja, we gotcha’ requirement to click away from some of the weird veil-ads you guys added on. And some of your ad stuff is NSFW. Thanks.
Wow, a whole two accessories…
And it weighs a pound? Nope.
OMFG, here we are again bloviating and pretending to be aghast at the lack of morality of the MSM. Can’t we all just agree they suck and move onward? Must we keep repeating the same, same, same, same, same, same, old shit?
Another “known wolf.” If they knew this one too, why do we need more of a paper trail on people who don’t shoot up schools.
It’s almost like keeping kids alive is not the point.
Not being a 3-gun competitor or in combat, I can’t see how this is a whole lot faster than a Picatinny rail. It does give you infinite choice in exactly where it goes along that slide, compared to a Picatinny rail. But how hard are you going to have to tighten down that thumbscrew to prevent recoil from moving components? Will that gradually leave dents in the slide? And will that extra effort going into tightening and especially loosening the thumbscrew slow it down so much that a Picatinny rail ends up faster?
Like a State Defense Force (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_defense_force ? I have a real problem with the National Guard and the National Defense Act of 1916. It federalized the “Militias” and allowed the states to “Control”. When they dont. State Defense forces are more like what the “Militia” was supposed to be. But even those are subject to federal control. We need something that is totally separated from the Federal Government. and able to purchase Military Grade Equipment. If that was the goal I would fight for that. That would be a goal worthy of pursuing.
Meh…and quoting Spiro Agnew gets you zero points. I am a 2nd Amendment originalist. Absolutist not so much. With the current NRA kerfuffle I see so many throwing the baby out with the bath water. Unless you start your own country you just AIN’T getting everything you want-but you can TRY!!!
It looks to me that if you have some 45 cal stuff that you want to suppress the Cosmic make good sense. If you want to suppress 308 & 6.5creed, and have no 45 stuff, the mystic X is rate to handle that using their fixed barrel adapter.
Everyone in this review, and especially in the video, is holding the gun wrong. The grip that is appropriate for a 1911 is really going to suck for a snubbie, or any revolver chambered for a .357 Magnum or heavier cartridge. The slide isn’t going to reciprocate, so cross your thumbs in the classic “double crush” grip.
You can see this grip as the 6th pic in this review:

It will make a HUGE difference in recoil management, as well as accuracy in the little revolver.
Most instructors (I am one, by the way) teach beginners about shooting because that’s why they came to the class in the first place. As students progress through through more advanced training, the more elite instructors – your own Jeff Gonzales for one – introduce non-lethal, non-firearm solutions into their curricula. Beginning classes are short enough as it is in duration, to be diluting the content with non-firearm topics.
As to teaching “firearms suicide” topics – what does he want? A primer on the best bullet placement?
