EW sent us a link to the above image embedded in an email alert. The TTAG reader drew our attention to the message’s ghoulishness; the Mayors Against Illegal Guns had pounced on the PR possibilities of yesterday’s gang banging shoot-up in New Orleans. “Bloody shirt waved just over 24 hours after shooting.” No question: MAIG’s men are ready, indeed waiting for the next spree killing. Only they’re not lobbying under the MAIG moniker. Or their “Demand A Plan” public facing propaganda arm. It’s now “Demand Action to End Gun Violence.” Roger that. To that end, I demand that the New Orleans police capture the shooters and reveal whether or not they’d been in police custody previously and what charges they faced. And then lock them up for a long, long time. But that’s me.
Pause the video at 27 seconds, you will see that this is not due to a falure of the serpa system. This a failure in master finger control, as you will see his finger was on trigger before target was accrued.. A no no my friend…
And do a complete background check to make sure they havent been paid to do the crime by any political group….
Ohhhh, yeah!
The beatings will continue until ‘morale’ improves.
Stop gun violence bring back open carry for every one not having been convicted of a previous violent crime.
MAIG can best be described as vultures.
They’re more like demented puppeteers. They’ll rip a bullet riddled corpse out of the arms of its weeping family, string it up like a marionette and make it dance on the evening news for contributions.
I keep waiting for one of these organizations to use the words “War on Gun Violence”.
I have my mega-facepalm ready and waiting.
Robert, I’m with you brother. Just don’t hold your breath for truth and justice to carry the day.
Here’s the hurdle: any limitation on gun ownership must have the same level of intrinsic feedback against restrictions as a driver’s license.
Restrictions on driving create tremendous backlash. Everyone has to be *able* to drive a car, *able* to get a license, or people get pissed off. Stupidly restricting driving get people un-elected.
So, I’m for any training requirement for gun ownership that has the same kind of *intrinsic* push-back built in. For example, if hunting supplied a good fraction of the food for most people we’d have a built in regulator on the regulation. Make it too hard to fill the larder and you’ll get un-elected.
With guns, we have mainly people who don’t use, and have never used guns very interested in regulating somebody else. It doesn’t hurt them (they think), so there’s no check on doing stupid stuff.
So… now that Detroit, one of the MAIG cities, is about to go bankrupt, will their crime stats still count towards our national tally?! BTW, check to see if your city is on the MAIG list… and exercise your civil liberties:

FYI the MAIG group failed to mention that any parade in New Orleans is considered a gun free zone, and therefore these ‘honor students’ who shot up the crowd were surprisingly willing to violate that law while violating the bigger law. Seems gun control was there, it just didn’t work. Also, I am willing to bet the shooters were already felons, etc.
I forgot was this the former “1 Million Moms” group? Its getting hard to keep track of these things. I guess thats good though, the more indavidual groups there are the more likley that heads will butt.
I’m surprised it took this long for them to get to start waving their new bloody flags. Yep, the response to thugs with guns is to disarm the prey. All promoted by people who enjoy armed guards at our expense. Totally the way to go. Really, it’s just common sense. I mean death is a part of life, right?
Many of you probably don’t pay any attention to other SCOTUS cases that don’t have anything to do with firearms. There is conjecture that Lawrence v. Texas was set up by people who wanted to get the issue involved in that case to the SCOTUS. I could totally see this being a setup to get standing for a lawsuit.
If it is a right to receive free birth control then I have a right to receive free ammo.
unless you live in cedar county in missouri its run like a dictatorship they ignore the ccw laws and deny people their civil rights as they choose
These are what got me into the gun world.
I’m still a collector, and I personally do prefer Russian firearms. I would buy some, but I think I have enough 91/30s. If anyone here hasn’t tried one of these, buy it. Ammo is still plentiful, and they’re a blast.
I’m on the prowl now for Imperial M91s/Nagant Revolvers.

I believe 7-shot guns will be all the rage in NY soon. The M&P Shield with 7 round magazines will be the norm.
Here in NY at one shop there were 40+ on back order a few weeks ago.
Shall we begin
The cop was a douchebag for citing the guy instead of giving him a warning.
My money is on the cops in NY being given incentives to bust people for breaking
the new anti-gun laws.
I hope this pocket pistol is available here in the Philippines.

RE: You Demand Action?
Then come to Christ and bring your kiddies with you.
All this horror. All this slaughter. All this pain is because we’ve turned our backs on God and His love for US.
