You want to schmooze with the press guy for The Mayors Against Illegal Guns? Contact camera shy John J. McCarthy via Mayor Bloomberg’s office. The gun grabber’s gun grabber is a Bloomberg staffer (who recently received a 20 percent salary hike). Speaking of sucking on the taxpayer tit to promote civilian disarmament, TTAG reader AR points out that “If you perform a search from the MAIG website, you’ll see the url is changed to search1.nyc.gov. This is the same search appliance used for www.nyc.gov. I would assume NYC funding is supporting the search and indexing of the MAIG website. Administration of the Google Search Appliance is most likely being performed by NYC personnel or contractors too.” True story? Again, we’ve contacted MAIG for comment. Again, keep breathing . . .
Any more complaining by the popo and I say standardize their sidearm to a 45 colt single action western six shooter revolver. They can also carry a bowie knife as back-up.
Good report for a starting point on accuracy. Velocity variability is probably less important for long-range accuracy than uniformity and shape (ballistic coefficient) of the bullet itself. And what will probably trump both of those factors is what your rifle “likes” as far as bullet weight, velocity range, and BC. This is a great excuse (oop, sorry, “rationale”) for lots of ammo and lots of range time. “Hey, this is scientific research.”
I have just one word to on this… Kalashnikov
Better question is how many NYC residents would even object to their tax dollars being used to fund a political cause against guns.
What sort of childhood (interupted?) does a man-child like Donny have to endure to lead him to such a sad state where he has NO Citical Thinking Skills?
Donny has been hanging on the lower edge of the Cable world for decades, well I gues TPTB have found a second use for that mouth (Gunsel)
That’s embarassing. Not a single person thought to say “Why is it wrong?” No, they immediately jumped to “Guns are bad, get rid of them”. If the producers were capable of feeling shame, they would’ve stopped the broadcast and got some new commentators. Screw those rich people with their heads up in the clouds. They have no right to tell me what to do or how to do lawful actions. FOAD.
The first prototype of “Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.”
A lot of sad people in the comments who believe anyone who doesn’t agree with them is a “Tree Hugging Democrat”. The author probably likes other guns, just not this particular gun so stop waving your dicks around like a bunch of teenagers and grow up. I prefer hunting with a handgun rather than a rifle and use either my Ruger Super Redhawk or Colt Anaconda.
Obama calls for immediate ban on bicycle manufacturing, claiming that “no one needs a bike” in this day and age. After soiling his knickers, Chuck Schumer called Schwinn and Huffy “merchants of death” and introduced legislation banning the sale or possession of bicycle tires. Joe Biden stated that “If you have to get from point A to point B, a hot wheels trike is all you need.”
“Buy a trike. Buy a trike.”
Paul and George knew they would be riding through a gun free zone so they came prepared.
Fahrradgewehr!
Now 007, I was told that you needed to win a bike race to get close to your target, so if you would step outside for a moment. Here we have a two seater bike right? WRONG! it actually has an assortment of firearms that I duct taped to it myself. Um, Q how is this supposed to help me win a bike race? Well James would you pass the guy riding this. Good point Q, you’ve out done yourself, I’m guaranteed to win!
For a strong value I tried the TAC50 from nebotools.com. I am going to ask for the Redline for Father’s Day. The Tac50 has been a great 50 lumen pocket light for about 6 months. Runs on 1 aa battery too. No, I don’t work for them or schlep their stuff….
A friend recently got into the gun habit. I spotted him a couple of boxes of 9mm since there is none to be had anywhere around here.
I don’t expect to get them back – I was just happy to convert another to the brotherhood.
Looks like there’s finally some traction on this.

Yes we are starting to see the media report on this after two flippin months. And did they even mention us? NO!
Things that make you go hmmm:
The Truth About Guns and myself ran to ground the story on the MAIG using NYC servers on May 15th. After trying to get the word it took two months and now it seems to be breaking into the more main stream media. Amazing!

Sounds like embezzlement of NYC funds to me. IMHO
