Speaking of ISIS and New York City, an explosion has happened about an hour ago at the NYC Manhattan Port Authority, in what is being called a botched terror attack.
Crappy video of the hapless jihadist detonating himself, who has apparently survived and is now in custody, is here :

You just can’t get good help these days…
Look at the massive numbers of “officials” of all kinds around that scene. First thing that occurred to me was… wonder what would happen if half a dozen OTHER suicide bombers walked through there, dressed in police or firemen uniforms. They could kill a lot of the “responders,” as well as lots of the commuters. Get ready for more of this, I think.
Why does anyone want to live in such a sardine can anyway?
Because they don’t know any other way. What would they do with out a $14 craft chai from the hottest new most authentic place?
“Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. ”
Is he related to the Nixon-era Cyrus Vance?
If preference is the only deciding factor, buy American!
Otherwise, I found the XD to feel more brick like than others. I like the added safety feature of the grip safety, but not the price!
The Glock felt like a Glock to me, but apparently I’m so used to the grip angle that it points better in my hand than the others.
The Ruger seems to be the least appreciated of all of them, but in appearance, I think it’s a beautiful pistol compared to previous models. I shoot ambidextrously, and have no problem with safeties.
The M&P is hard not to like, or to find fault with, and it’s nice that there’s an option for a safety or not, but they just don’t feel as good in my hand as the Ruger.
On the issue of manual safeties, I am often troubled by hearing so many experienced shooters, and sometimes instructors, make derogatory remarks about them. I am of the opinion that those of us who grew up with a gun in our hands, or who have extensive experience and /or training may reasonably decide to forgo a manual safety, but for new shooters, and especially for new concealed carry shooters, I would rather they not get off a shot because of inexperience or lack of training, than to get off an unintended shot because of inexperience or lack of training because the latter may kill someone, and will definitely hurt the credibility of all of us! To me, a manual safety is nothing more than an “on – off” switch, and we should not be giving new shooters who read our comments the impression that we think they are “silly”. If we don’t practice enough to flick a switch in an emergency, then we aren’t practicing enough to carry or shoot safely in an emergency! Just my humble opinion!
By the way, if you live in an area that has rentals, shoot all of them before deciding.
Hope the bomb fried his guts.
Hope he has a long slow painful recovery and spends the rest of his miserable life in supermax. Fit him with a remote control shock collar that goes around his balls and put the button in a public place like times square with a camera in his cell. Charge a buck to push it to defray the cost of housing his miserable ass and to buy new batteries as needed. He’s lost all constitutional protection by being an enemy combatant in my book.
Wow…that sounds like a Clinton Campaign message. Who was it that gave ISIS their start again…?
Easy now… And don’t dare mention Libya!
And how exactly does national reciprocity make buying guns at a gun show any easier or more difficult than it is currently?
Oh wait, forget the facts, guns are bad.
Report was this was a pipe bomb. It must not have been or the terrorist would not be alive.
Why are dumb people given a soap box?
Because equally dumb people think they are enlightening. Or something like that. Liberal warm fuzzies you know.
Nice suit. Show me the quote by ISIS where they have said “You can easily access weapons at 500-plus gun shows. And reciprocity is only going to make it easier.”

Akayed Ullah… Hmmm… Sounds Dutch.
If we don’t surrender our rights, then the terrorists win? How is that different from the terrorists’ goal of depriving us of our rights on their way to winning?
If the Democrats and the terrorists share the same means and ends, then maybe then they ought to share the same label.
Common sense mosque control?
Can we stick to articles that are not written by starry eyed Chinese communist sycophants?
Are the Chinese still tooling their firearms the same way they used to, everything held to the same standard?
Flash videos are like drinking after a hooker.
May or may not bring unwanted viruses with it.
Cy Vance might need a new sugar daddy if Harvey Weinstein goes off to the Graybar Hotel. Maybe Bloomberg?

All women are not the same, some will do well with a small gun, others will do well with a full sized one, whats right for some may not be right for others.
If they carry concealed it pays to have a small to medium gun.
If they open carry they can use medium to big.
I’ve seen them open carry a big .357 magnum revolver and also those who carry the NAA revolvers.
Nothing is best for every woman they must shoot all types to find the one they feel capable with.
My wife has trouble with the big 1911A1 I have and also with the old Galesi-Brescia .25 acp I inherited from my aunt who carried it from purchase 1965 up till the day she died where it was discovered in her house coat pocket, locked and loaded. She can shoot the .380 acp Ruger I have but doesn’t like the recoil.
The wife shoots the S&W J frame M-640 best. it is the right size, weight and loaded with the right snub nose rounds makes her comfortable to carry.
Something along the lines of the Beretta Pico or a Glock .380/9 mm pocket model should do, she will carry it more than she will ever need it, but if she does, it’s there.
They know what they are doing, and they think we are too stupid to see it.
My question to this researcher was the data he used current or did it include the 100 misreported accidental deaths due to a data entry error from Tennessee in 2014?

He seems surprisingly still pieced together, I assume things didn’t go as he planned…
you know what else ISIS supports? State sanctioned religious doctrine/laws kinda like in the south you see laws like “an atheist can not hold public office”
He’s an economics professor, it’s very likely that he is invested in the Firearms industry and all the accessories that are produced. Just like Al Gore owning, buying and leasing property in South Beach Florida even though he said that property should have been under water a few years ago. They know exactly where the cash flow is and they have to have something to fund their leftist agenda.
Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening.
I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this article
together. I once again find myself personally spending a
lot of time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Of course they’re insane…
The Progressive anti-gun Dems are laughing at this head-cracking between the premier national gun-rights organization and the state one. Although I am not a Floridian, I hope this rift can be patched up and we can all be united against the gun-grabbers and their legal henchmen.
Wait until constitutional carry is rammed down their throats. I wonder of Canada can hold all the refugees?
Plenty of hidden guns in NYC, just not in the hands of the law abiding (yet).
Scatter sheep!
In today’s dynamic economy, changes occur rapidly so you must fit in. The difficulties in the economic conditions nowadays make us want more savings and less out-of-pocket spending.
If you feel that you would rather utilize the money you have saved for Christmas
on getting the family together and enjoying your time and energy
together, there are new approaches to pay for that expensive presents that you
simply buy.
Blumenthal said Dec. 14, 2012, “will be forever a stain on our nation’s history.” But so will the day the Senate voted down legislation to expand gun background checks, he said.
The firearms of Sandy Hook were background checked per Schumer’s 1993 bill. In other words, they were completely Schumer and Clinton approved. The gun banner’s system was in place and was fully utilized.
