The Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence Education Fund is airing this victory dance. It’s designed to head off political blowback from the Democrats’ decision to go all-in for civilian disarmament. (Hey, is that the MAIG’s mystery hunter without his beard and flannel?) Click here to scan the Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence Board of Directors, which includes some misguided religious leaders and a bunch of washed-up cops and pols. Their prez and spokesman, one Vincent DeMarco, is a former Maryland Assistant Attorney General and current Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Yes, DeMarco was given a major assist by that Bloomberg; the gun grabbing New York City Mayor behind the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Just so you know.
The NRA helped to save our a$$es in the Senate and we’re already turning on it?
This is my shocked face.

did you mention that they confiscated all his guns? maybe I missed that part. :-\
Bloomberg is buying up states like they were squares on a Monopoly board. Which makes Maryland, well, Mediterranean Avenue. The cheapest property on the board.
This is not the same actor as the MAIG guy in the other ad. That guy was younger and cuter. I’m an expert … being a girl and all. LOL 😉
Friend with a porcupine problem could not find any JHP .22lr to save his freakin’ life so I spotted him a 333 box. He asked if I wanted money for it and I mentioned he should use what’s left to go shooting with his kids (2 boys, 7&9). So, no payback, but a generational pay forward…
Mr. Farago,
Pretty good data is actually available. I forget the sources off the top of my head; whoever they are, they estimate that somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% of violent assaults and murders are gang/drug related. The scary part is the remaining 20%. Of those, I would guess about half are domestic violence and the other half are truly random violent crime. And of the truly random violent crime, you know that felons (ex-convicts) commit most of those. We know this because countless sources tell us that recidivism is upwards of 90%.
This breakdown has ginormous implications for anyone who thinks laws will prevent such violent attacks. Just think about it. Gang members certainly don’t care about laws. Felons who continue their life of crime (recidivism) certainly don’t care about laws. And the attackers in domestic violence cases are determined to harm/kill a current or ex spouse — those attackers certainly don’t care about laws. In other words all the laws in the world will not prevent the three groups of criminals that are responsible for about 99% of all violent assaults and murders.
This is reality. It is the unfortunate truth. I really believe the masses and our policy makers need to know this so they can make informed decisions that actually have a chance of accomplishing some good. Policies that ignore this reality are doomed to fail miserably. You can take that to the bank.
I have sold to a couple friends at pre-Sandy Hook prices.
michael moore, being a fat, greasy repulsive human being, is a compelling case of why part of be supports bloombergs soda ban 😉 (jk)
well michael, i want a 100 round drum magazine just because…i can. just like you want that tenth slice of large pizza…because you can.
argh, i just want to punch the screen when i see this ad. How about if, before Bishop Sutton makes his argument, we check his fingerprints against the offender registry and computer for child pictures. For the children. I’d like to meet the alleged 68% of hunters that support this bill, because I know a lot of them in MD and not one supports this bill.
It’s even lousy as propaganda. Let’s pretend to be medical experts, what say?
Yes, I let two friends share my second to last box of automatch .22lr during a weekly league event at my range.
ha ha ha ha ha ha re…. ha ha … re…. ha ha real…… ha ha ha ha …. they said: “real solutions”!….
the “entire country”??…. THE F^CK YOU SAY!!!!!
My dad loans me ammo all the time…I then loan him the brass back and buy some components. Its a good cycle. His reloads are spot on and make sure that my stuff is as accurate as can be.
There is a special place in Hell reserved for certain prosecutors.
Can’t be possible that in NY someone had 10 rounds in a magazine. He must have reloaded. Sad thing the loss any person at the hands of a CRIMINAL. Now let’s get CUOMO to make another law that the CRIMINAL WONT obey! Hey CUOMO how is it possible that this CRIMINAL had 10 rounds? How is it possible that the NY SAFE act didn’t STOP the CRIMINAL? OH I know CRIMINALS DON’T OBEY LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What if it doesn’t save any?
How about we throw in to help him in a show of support? I’ll throw in $25.
BTW
Today walmart had .223 Tulammo for 27 cents around, looked like 5 left after my 3 box limit. Before that I accidentally ran into a 1k Federal bulk box at 50c per round.
This needed to happen, too many complaints about quality control issues with Smith & Wesson in Houlton, Maine. The big recall, so many PPK’s went out to the realers that were unsafe and defective. I believe the Walther company realized that they needed to take back control of their guns.. Good move. S& W will still be making them, but I believe the repairs & and QC will be done by the new company, Walther Arms, Inc out of Fort Smith, Arkansas. This is truly good news for the devoted Walther customers.
According to the latest research 68% of gun related statistics are made up.
The sentence: “This is Level II armor, meaning that 9mm is the largest round it’s rated to stop.” is not entirely correct.
For Level II testing according to NIJ, the .357 Magnum is the largest round it is rated to stop. Not the 9mm.

I read that disclaimer, and found it kinda fishy. The original story never suggested that the Perrazi kin did anything illegal, only that a cabbie reported him as a suspected terrorist. The lawyers got it straightened out, no charges were brought, and the shotties were returned. the disclaimer says that the founder is dead and his son was not in the US–but what about another company representative? Ultimately it is a big “So what?” as there was nothing much to see. Move along, y’all.
If it is shown in a theater around me I will go. DVD will be mine also.
