“Mexico has disarmed more than 1,200 local police officers suspected of colluding with drug traffickers in Michoacan state and arrested 38 members of the notorious Knights Templar drug cartel active in the region,” AFP reports. ” [Federal security official Alejandro Rubido] Garcia said federal forces have taken control of 27 municipalities in the western Mexico state and disarmed 1,209 of the local police officers. The officers will undergo investigations, Garcia said. They are accused of colluding with gangs by the vigilante militias that have taken up arms in recent months in restive Michoacan state.” So the Mexican federales are cleaning-out the cartels and their police allies to placate the local militia. “The capture of Vasquez Macias and other Knights Templar leaders was among the conditions the vigilante groups demanded before giving in to government demands they turn over their own weapons.” So, will they disarm? Only if they’re really stupid. After all, nature abhors el vacio.

  1. So what this pretty much boils down to is money. The powers that be in NJ don’t want to be sued or held liable for anything, and they will not legally allow their citizens to defend themselves. Must be nice to have a position where you can pretty much do whatever you want or don’t do whatever you want, and not be held accountable for your action/in-action. Most places in the real world have consequences, but not in NJ. I feel awful for the widow, that guy never had a chance.

  2. This is actually a good thing. Once it becomes hard to purchase a firearm for personal protection the laws can be pulled into court easily and overturned on 2nd amendment grounds.

  3. that thing only weighs 2 lbs less than a normal 240, he said? he picked it up like it was nothing. When i tried to pick up a suppressed 240 from some suppressor company booth at the NRA show, it was heavy as hell. Damn girly arms of mine.

  4. I do see the M&P 9c isn’t listed anymore on the CA-DOJ Roster, but it appears that the M&P 9 was bumped out to August 16th 2014. Previous expire date was Jan 16th 2014.

    *IF* S&W does plan to make a change to the CA compliant gun, then it will go off roster a lot sooner.

    Unfortunately this is going to hurt LGS as they all seem to have growing inventory that is LEO/CA-Exempt only (i.e. Ruger).

    There is no doubt this will help the current case against CA-DOJ and our AG, but it’s going to hurt for a bit while our freedom gets sorted out. =\

  5. I love the officer in the background: he just blinks like “UGGGGH” at the words “thirty-caliber clip”. (At 10 seconds in, more or less).

  6. Any chance of getting gunmakers on board for a boycott of CA law enforcement agencies? If I cant own a 4th Gen Glock in CA because its too unsafe, then why can the state of CA be able to purchase them?

  7. Carrying of loaded weapons is banned at gun shows so that they don’t get confused with the thousands of unloaded weapons also present…

  8. Americans, NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS! You need them to protect yourselves from tyranny.

    A new book on 9/11 is out. The author knew the Mossad agent who organised the events of that day.

    Dimitri Khalezov has spent 10 years researching and writing this book. Download links:

    In a 2010 interview, Khalezov explained that you can’t build a skyscraper in NYC without an approved demolition plan. On 9/11, the World Trade Center’s demolition plan was put into action to demolish the complex.

    Khalezov learned of this demolition plan from his job in the Soviet Union. He had worked in the nuclear intelligence unit and under an agreement between the Soviet Union and the USA, each country was obliged to inform the other of peaceful uses of nuclear explosions. The WTC was built with 3 thermo-nuclear charges in its foundations.

    Note: underground nuclear explosions do not produce mushroom clouds. This is only ever seen when the explosion takes place above ground. On 9/11, the explosions were deep underground.

    Khalezov was interviewed on 4 Sept 2013:

    Here is a recent article mentioning Khalezov:

    I know it is preposterous to claim that the WTC was brought down by nukes. But note that the place where the WTC once stood is called ‘Ground Zero’. If you look up the meaning of ‘ground zero’ in the old dictionaries you have at home, you’ll find that there would only be one definition. It is what you call a place that has been nuked.

    After 9/11, the US government sent people out to switch all the dictionaries in the public domain. The replacements differed only in the meaning of ‘ground zero’. They show extra definitions for that term, to obfuscate the original single meaning.

    For example, if you have a genuine old Merriam-Webster dictionary, you would see this:
    ground zero n (1946) : the point directly above, below, or at which a nuclear explosion occurs.

    The replacement books (even of old editions) show two extra definitions and this is what you’ll see:
    ground zero n (1946) 1 : the point directly above, below, or at which a nuclear explosion occurs. 2: the center or origin of rapid, intense, or violent activity or change 3: the very beginning : SQUARE ONE

    Have a look at this video:

    At 6:05 mins, he shows the old and new definitions of ‘ground zero’.

  9. My dad has a lot of stories about carrying his M1 carbine around at all times while he was working at a (plant) nursery during and after high school. Mostly for woodchucks, but they apparently ran into poachers all the time.

    This has me thinking, though. I recently got hold of a decently priced 870 Express to use as a foundation for a home defense shotgun, and I’ve been debating sling loops for a few reasons. I’ll add the idea of extended carry, even around the house, as a big check in the “pro” category.

  10. California is a state that should fall off the map into the Pacific Ocean or annexed by Communist China. I think all gun manufacturers should boycott California and it’s extreme leftist politics. California is a police state which has a proven track record of violating civil liberties to law abiding gun owners and enforcing draconian laws in all aspects of it’s citizens lives. Has one of the highest costs of living in this nation and is not run from Sacramento but by Hollywood. Time for any California resident with any balls and brains and loves freedom to defect to Texas.

  11. Many years ago I attended a general self-defense class in TX. It was taught by a retired Texas Ranger. I still remember his answer when a woman in the audience asked him what to do if someone tried to force your car off the road. He explained that he had encountered many such cases in his career and most of them ended very badly for the victim(s). The surprising thing to him was that in most case the victim’s car was not damaged. Then he said, “The most powerful weapon I have ever used was a Chevy.”
