Took me a while to figure out what ICON 1000 was selling, exactly, but here ya go: “One thousand is the empirical number that forms the boundary between boy and man. The displacement threshold between novice and expert. One thousand has always been the goal. The finest leathers, textiles, & armor have gone into every item in the ICON 1000 collection. Every detail has been critiqued and examined. Every style has endured countless miles of testing and refinement. The end result is the finest collection of motorcycle riding apparel we’ve ever created. We sincerely hope you will enjoy wearing the ICON 1000 gear as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.” Yeah but what about the guns? I mean they should be way cooler than that, right? Suggestions?
And where exactly do I get that open drum mag for the Saiga?
What does the girl being christian have to do with anything?
Well– they also don’t mention whether there’s additional protection in the gear like religious medals.
ICON vests and a number of their Jackets have a St. Christopher medal in them. They don’t advertise it, its not on the tags on the stuff when you buy it. I found the medal in the ICON DoD compliant vest when doing the laundry. It’s in the inside left pocket, attached with a lanyard, in a mini-pocket of its own.
That’s actually pretty neat.
The shotgun would be much more effective than the helmet for breaking the glass of SUV’s.
Or maybe that’s what mass riders will find pointed at them after they break the glass and find a man inside willing to protect his family.
Can we get mothers who lost and or defended their children in a home invader with a gun? Or a mother whose daughter perforated a would be rapist with a compact 9mm in her purse?
Or, how about we fast forward to where this might (hopefully never) lead in 50 years? Can we get a mother whose children were butchered by the Nazi’s and ask them what they thought about gun control? Or the Khmer Rouge? Or the Hutu’s?
Does it take a life changing event like that to turn the brain chemistry of these fascists upside down? Would we ever be able to sway them? Or is swaying only for fence sitters?
The account that I read was that he lived above the store, was in some way informed of what was going on, and told the men to wait for police. They tried to draw on him, but he was better trained and prepared, and killed them both before they could kill him.
Hard to see of a more clearcut case of justifiable homicide than that.
story says he was 20 yrs old. if he was under 24, he is a mere child according to MDA and Shannon Watts(TM). . . . . so yes, he was a minor, in their (closed) minds.
Am I the only one thinking that SW’s own kids may do this someday just to prove a point?
I mean Shitty Mothers Demand Action must be a breeding ground for these kinds of kids.
I wonder if the active parenting is the same as the teacher who ignored the “special needs” kid’s random biting attacks in my child’s kindergarten class. It took a bit of active parenting to bring the issue to the attention of the school because it was more than “bothersome”. Sounds like the principal was reaching for any reason to make themself feel better about the banning.
As a side note, my friend (a former Marine) was at this mall (in the movie theatre) on the nite of the shooting….he has a concealed carry license from NYS, but it is illegal for him to carry in NJ (where he was for business)….he said he never felt so helpless in his life, knowing he had the means and ability to protect himself (and maybe others) sitting in his safe at home because he was disarmed by the Government under pain of felony imprisonment….he was able to make it back to his car and was headed back to his hotel before the police arrived on scene…all the while, forced to be defenceless by the state….
In German, Schoenkopf means beautiful head. Sometimes adjectives fail…
Excuse me, I have not had direct contact with GTA since my stepson grew out of it many years ago. Luckily he preferred Call of Duty and Counter-Strike.
Unless the GTA game has changed dramatically in style, format and content over those intervening years I cannot think of anything redeeming about the platform. Using the term “assault shotgun” for a foolish fully-automatic shotgun is the least of the transgressions of a game that glorifies wanton slaughter, amoral crime and moral, and extra points for extreme mayhem in the singular pursuit of self-enrichment.
In childhood games of “cops & robbers” or “Cowboys & Indians” I never wanted to be the bad guy. The whole premise of GTA is to not only be the bad guy, but to revel in it. I don’t think video games necessarily promote bad behavior or negative life directions, but what is up with this game and it’s popularity? Is there any other role-playing game out there that so thoroughly glamorizes the dark side? Sheesh.
This picture qualifies as an incendiary image of the day – what sane firearms-related company would use the term “assault rifle”? That will create a feeding frenzy among the anti’s. I think everyone of those books should be recalled and the whole thing reprinted after someone with political intelligence proofreads each line.
