“(W)hat about the roughly 13% of all (NICS) denials occurring under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(2) — a scary ‘fugitive’ category which normally means that the person had an unpaid traffic ticket while on vacation? This is actually happening now, and is a major issue. Are we going to turn in the names of all ‘renegade parkers’ who haven’t paid their fines? If your answer is ‘That would be stupid’, well, guess what? Cornyn-Schumer is stupid. It is the sort of brainless solution which is concocted by politicians looking for a sound bite, who don’t know what they’re doing.” – Michael Hammond in Will the GOP Leadership Be the Ones to Deliver Gun Control (via townhall.com)
NICS doesn’t need fixed, what it needs is for the lazy assed data entry minions to actually input the correct data! Every failure of NICS can inevitably be traced back to some idiot not entering in the correct information or some idiot not reporting the information in the first place. No What NICS needs is to ultimately go away because we can never get it right and no amount of legislation will fix it. We can pinky promise to add even more info to the system but if the info isn’t being entered anyway what’s the fucking point? What checks are in place to ensure the right information is being entered? What guarantee is there that good ole ATF Agent Bob won’t get denied on a 4473 because DEA Agent Bob is a fucking scumbag out runnin around, killing nuns, raping hookers, and doing loads of blow off of underage Phillipino strippers asses? I’ve dealt with that before actually I used to get denials until I learned some one else with the same name was a freaking dirt bag.
F Cornyn,
and HOW IN THE EVER LIVING F DOES CHUCK SCHUMER HAVE ANYTHING MORE THAN A MINORITY OPINION, and one easily ignored.
IF HE’S PUT IN CHARGE OF THIS SH_T, ALL OF D.C. NEEDS TO PACK THEIR SH_T AND GO THE F HOME.
Schumer really does seem like the nastiest of slimeballs, doesn’t he? I think if you tried to hang him he’d probably slip right out of the noose and slither away.
Most Republitards are not our friends. I have no faith they’ll ever “fix” (get rid of!) NICS…
Dear god! That times opinion piece sounds like pure unadulterated fascism. I was wondering when he would discuss the gun owner special tattoos and yellow gun badges he would force us to wear. The petty tyrant would love to pass all of thesr laws so good people get shot to death by SWAT teams. Unfortunately we would have hundreds of SWAT teams that would salivate at the chance to wreck some people’s lives in addition to cheerleaders like this guy celebrating the deaths of gun owners at their hands on twitter.
I live in Virginia but work in DC and Maryland. This would finally clear the way for me to carry. Technically if I wanted to go to 18 hours of classes I could get the DC permit but there is still no way to carry in Maryland.
LOL No use for these POS anymore!! Single Minded Morons!
All this just gives me a headache…I wish I could move to another Earth like planet without any people on it…For its the People that cause problems for other people…I see why the Pilgrims left Europe…So long ago…
“According to the poll, conducted by Ekos Research Associates for The Canadian Press, 69 per cent of those surveyed agreed with the statement “I think that there should be a strict ban on guns in urban areas.”
And that’s fine, they are, afterall, canucks…
McChrystal commanded JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) in Afghanistan. I have a close connection with an officer attached there during his his command. He said that McChrystal was the smartest man he had met. Obama fired him for his remarks to a Rolling Stone reporter about how feckless the Obama administration was.

I’ve had high regard fir him up til now. This shows that smart people can also be wrong, even stupid.
9mm in a semi-automatic pistol. .357 in a wheel gun. Yeah, Okay, the .357 can be downloaded to .38 Special. The 9mm is soft enough to train most any shooter.
After the training, .357 and .45 ACP
Diagnosis: noassatall.
Treatment: Squats. Lots of them. Shitty but at least it isn’t surgery.
I challenge the assertion that you should carry the biggest caliber you can handle.
I can handle a .50 AE, but I can’t squeeze off four rounds of it in under a second and get center mass hits. The same is still true for more practical carry loads, like .357 Mag or .40 S&W. But I can do that with 9mm.
Not all calibers that you can manage are equally manageable. The superior manageability of 9mm over .40 S&W or .45 ACP could make it a better choice for some shooters, while the superior muzzle energy of the latter two rounds might make them superior choices for others.
1) The biggest damn thing that I can control
2) Something slightly smaller than #1. For those days when you feel a little lazy.
The PT111, probably the best EDC gun you can buy that you’ll barely miss if it falls in the lake.

You wouldn’t have shares of a movie for investing, you’d have points.
What man owns (I’m going to assume the Rolex Sub is real for postarities sake) a Rolex, but buys practically the cheapest carry gun he can find!? Nearly anything would be better than a Taurus.
