How would Professor Moran know American gun owners are insane? Because he’s an expert on the insanity defense! (And the electric chair but let’s not go there. Literally.) I wonder if he knows anything about the cognitive process known as projection. And I quote, “People are resistant to facts. People don’t care what the data shows. They feel they know differently. Not everyone is swayed by the reality that’s really out there. They’re swayed by the reality they’ve created or that they believe is out there. And they all feel that they’re the exception.” And that’s why he carries a SIG! JK. It’s a Glock. JK again. Moran’s only defense against pro-gun loons: a reputation for being scatterbrained and a rapier wit. En garde!
Betchya his and the city name will remain on the MAG list for years. Probably just an oversight though, I’m sure.
There is a difference between unalienable and inalienable. Here’s a source for your reading pleasure.

I find the quote from the mother very telling:
“Yeah, it’s something he would do … Somebody called me and said my son got shot that’s the reason I’m standing here…”
OK, if news of your son a) breaking into someone’s house in broad daylight and b) his getting shot dead as a result does not surprise you… you failed as a mother.
If I had ever done anything remotely like breaking into someone’s house, the last people that would have worried me would have been a) the homeowner, or b) the cops, no matter how many guns they were packing.
No, people with guns would not have worried me, because the pains of hell would have been coming for me, and that pain would have answered to the name “Mom.” She would have whipped me senseless with a belt and then, having exhausted the pain potential of leather, would probably have sent me into the swamp to cut down a willow stick.
RE: Sig 938
After testing out several subcompact 9mm tge Sig P938 “Nightmare” won my heart.
As a woman with small hands it fit perfectly and the safety was well placed.
My only complaint is the texture of the trigger. It is not smooth and after about 50-100 rounds I’d given myself a small blister.
It is a bit picky when it comes to ammo, the cheap stuff just will not do. After firing about 100 rounds of wally mart special 9mm it started having problems. When I got home and began cleaning it, it was absolutely filthy. DO NOT USE CHEAP AMMO!
I always use federal full metal jacket brass only.
Since switching to good ammo I’ve not had a problem since.
It fits my hand perfectly with the factory hogue grip.
Recoil isn’t too bad.
Sights are good.
The P938 SAS is a bit more comfortable for conceal carry since the edges are rounded….but I Love the Sig Sauer P938 Nightmare…may have to have some work done on the trigger to smooth it a bit, but for now she is perfect.
Too funny, Robert. I laughed out loud three times while reading your commentary. And guys like this deserve to be laughed at. Progressives think that they know something about everything because they are Progressives. They don’t need facts or reasons; they certainly don’t need debate. They’re Progressives, and that qualifies them to regulate the rest of us in any way on any matter. It’s astonishing.
You have to keep in mind that leftists are often (not always) rationalists and moral relativists. If the group believes it, it’s true by definition. You can always spot them because they appeal to authority (or attack the speaker) rather than deal with the substance of arguments. “Bah, you heard that on Fox.”
Of course, many use these tactics deliberately, consciously knowing what they are doing.
PHD doesn’t mean brains.
I remember this New Yorker cartoon where a maitre d’ is taking a reservation over the phone and says:
“…Dr. Smith….. Is that an M.D. or just a PhD?…”
It certainly doesn’t. It means Piled Higher and Deeper.
Actually it does, sixpack. That’s why the academic world is predominately for gun control. The opposite is true. Most gun rights supporters are towards the other end of the intelligent/educated spectrum. I realize there are exceptions who post and comment here, but the average is what it is. You know the type.
So, in addition to all your expertise you’ve developed an IQ test for the average gun owner, mikeyb?
How do you stop a tank? You dont. You wait for the soldier/law enforcement/gov official/enemy to get off work for the day, follow him home, then execute offensive asymetrical/guerrilla warfare tactics. This libtard knows that (leftists wrote the book on anarchy) but feigns ignorance because it comes into conflict with his commie goals. Doctor my ass (socialogy). Lumping gang bangers and other worthless data into home defense totals to show a higher percentage of danger for the gun owner is garbage statistic.
He kinda looks like that doofus Biden.
What an ivory tower loon. I live in Canada, and I would tell the good professor that the reason I own guns is because I CAN. I don’t own them first and foremost for self defense. (We canucks aren’t supposed to think like that). I own them because, like my American cousins, I believe it is my right to do so. They are, after all, a legal product, like any other. Of course, my government considers firearm ownership a privilege, and on this we must disagree. Hopefully, some day they will come to see it my way, but I’m not holding my breath.
Dudly Doright, Belleview is calling, better answer fast. The reality disconnect he speaks of occurs because, well, he’s nuts. Check with the young Texas man to see how well a defensive handgun does, correction, probably should talk to the next of kin, Randy
I hope any students who’ve taken classes with this gentleman see the video and demand their money back.
At least he’s clear about the anti-gun agenda, no hiding behind “we don’t want to take your guns away,” he wants to change the culture and disarm us.
F***K him and all like him.
No comments allowed. These anti-gun types are SOOOO courageous.
And just a few hours ago I contacted the TTAG folks (and Mr. Farago kindly responded, I was shocked) about the possibility that we 2nd Amendment folks might be missing the bus by not trying harder to include those who don’t understand us and shifting our argument to one of Class rather than Politics…
Then comes this dipshit, Dr. IknowItAllCuzIReadItInABook.
Now my stance is all shot to hell cuz I just wanna slap this fookin’ academic in the face.
WTH does someone like this slack ass know about gun culture?
Here’s someone who has never HAD to hunt for food (yes, I have and so have many of those who read TTAG (maybe not many who post here)). Here’s someone who has never had to defend themselves from anything more than the distraction of an unruly Graduate Assistant who got his lunch order wrong. Here’s someone who has no idea about what it is to be a part of a heritage that prides itself on a family full of patriots who, either willingly or by mandate, have defended the rights that he enjoys though he doesn’t understand.
Whe the F**K does he he think he is to so dismissively brush off an undeniable RIGHT with a smirk and a shake of his head?
I’ve always said, those who can? DO! Those who can’t? Teach.
If he knew one damn thing about Criminology he’d be chasing down the bad guys, or putting them in jail.
I have his contact page, thank you TTAG, right here in front of me and I’m tempted…I want to let him have it so bad! I admit, I’m pausing long enough to consider what government list I’ll wind up on if I let this POS have it.
What shall I do?
I’m sure we are all on a government shit list here, one more won’t hurt, Randy
While they may be well intentioned, what they really are is an enabler.
: one that enables another to achieve an end; especially : one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior
These questions make me think of this XKCD comic at http://xkcd.com/463/
Both answers are either non exclusive of the other or are not connected at all.
I’m on an XP Pro platform using IE 8 and have no problems with this site.
For me the advertising runs at the very top, along the right side 1/3rd of the screen, and very bottom of the page. It is unobtrusive to me as I focus on the meat of the editorials and comments and mostly ignore the ads.
I don’t sweat the small stuff as a general rule. But if there were pop-up ads constantly overlaying editorial content, much as I like this website, I’d probably lose interest and look elsewhere.
How do you pronounce Moran?
Seriously, though, this is EXACTLY why the NRA and others are very scared of Obama’s attempt to give authority to all sorts of mental health professionals — even nurses! — to determine who is mentally unfit to own a gun. No actual court adjudication necessary; just the statement of a government or private mental heath professional. When you have people like Moron who will say, “You actually think you need a gun to defend yourself? Well, you’re clearly insane.” then we have a major, major problem. The gov’t can have anybody and everybody deemed mentally unfit and it’s done.
“If it were the case that I was searching for an example of the clear distinctions to be made between the words ‘actuality’ and ‘reality’ — the former, of course implying what actually IS, and the latter most specific to human perception, or say absence thereof — after listening to the statements made by the good professor, I could say without any reservation whatsoever, my search had just ended.”

Does anyone know where to find blueprints now that the fearful censors are taking them off the net? Please reply to this post or send me an email directly.
Mount holyoke is in Massachusetts.
how surprising.
Moran’s level of arrogance is well along the road to tyranny, he is very sure that he knows what is best for everyone else, and if you pushed him he might be willing to kill you for the “common good”.
I always love scumbags like this, because they’re precisely the reason the 2A exists and why it’s so important: because people like him exist in the world. We need to hear from sub-humans like this every now and then to reaffirm why we need to be able to defend ourselves from criminals, tyrants, and ultimately, our neighbors (I refuse to use the term countrymen).
I’m just wishing I was a PH 9.
I am to believe a man who dresses himself like a Disney character??
I saw that CNN is now “explaining the 2nd Amendment” now too:
http://thegunwire.com/blog/youtube-video-cnn-explains-the-2nd-amendment/
No Bias in the the “explanation” either, of course.
Prof Moron, do I need to find you the video of the young Chinese man who stopped a tank with nothing more than balls?
I can hear the printers churning out more well-thought out amendments to NY’s SAFE Act now.
LOL
So who is going to charge Bloomberg? I’m sure we can find a few perks of the job (or is it just because he is rich?) That average joe voter can’t get. Like, perhaps, a gun?
There’s no way this is a real video. This is the video I would make to lampoon the anti-gun folks, if I was really bored and was a YouTube attention whore.
Reminds me of Billy Madison….
What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
As laughable as that was, it was equally disturbing. How much of his generation is like-minded, albeit maybe a little more coherent, but like-minded nonetheless. This kid will grow up to vote, influence other people with his idiotic emotionally charged nonsense and the locust swarm will continue to grow.
I’ll be totally honest, I fear for the future of this country. I didn’t used to and thought we could continue to beat back the ignorance but I am starting to have my doubts. Of course I will continue to fight, continue to educate my own children and anyone else willing to have a substantive conversation but I still fear what this place will look like 200-300 years from now for the branches in my family tree yet to be born….
Does he remind anyone else of the leave brittany alone kid? All I hear is waaaaaaaa.
The fools of today cause the demise of tomorrow. America is on the brink of history repeating itself in parallel to Rome, Greece, Assyria, Egypt, etc. Wake up AMERICA!
And this kid is going to make a living at what??
so some civi just had an at4 lying around and decided to turn it in??
It’s just a fibreglass tube without the rocket. I recall when surplus stores in Canada used to have the tubes from expended M72 LAWs on the shelf.
We “Rednecks” also cling to our BIBLES too. So get it straight!
They had these bills sitting, waiting for blood to get spilled so they could bring them out when emotions and fears ran high. Christie was, is and will be anti 2nd Amendment. He has a record of being anti gun and pro government control. Why would he change his tune now when so many in his party have ignored the fact so far?
Guys, this is really good satire. Relax.
My two cents: He’ll sign them all and do a party flip before his next election.
I bet Christie signs them and then changes party affiliations. He’s a liberal hiding in GOP clothing.
Christie is a “progressive” Republican. He will sign the law to disarm the citizens of NJ. And if he is stupid enough to run for national office as anything but a Democrat, the gun owners in heartland America will tell him to FOAD.
I can’t believe I just wasted six min. of my life listening to this dumb ass crackhead. I can’t say anything else because it would all be FLAME DELETED.
Bolt, lever and pump actions are new, and just recently introduced. Who knew?
“Folding stocks which increase the killing – somehow.”
This is satire. It’s gotta be! Please, let it be satire!
Russ
OHHH I would LOVE!! to give him a “Break”……
I wonder if his parents had any children that lived?
Great connection to our third ammendment and Britain’s lack there of. We seldom concider that abuse in modern society and I was shocked to learn about it in such a well-off and secure (from foreign invasion) nation. Your examples of their disassembly of rights we protect with the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th may not be solely due to their lack of 2nd ammendment protections, but there is certainly correlation.
The poll is baloney. No attempt was made to verify if indeed those who claimed they were NRA members actually were. Here are the results of a poll taken by the NRA itself using its own membership rolls.

So crazy Joe thinks his wife is safe and competently protected with a double barrel shotgun and warning shots! He must be hoping to get rid of her, or else he truly believes the bad guy will be arriving with a flintlock. What an idiot.
He betrays his own incompetence. First and foremost you should NEVER be firing warning shots. If an intruder is coming at you it will typically be in close confined quarters where a warning shot endangers innocents and gives the intruder more time to attack.
Only the misinformed, uneducated public will bite on that piece of advice – which of course they will because of all the lies and anti gun rhetoric they have been fed by the gun grabbers and sympathetic main stream media wonks.
For firearm protection, his wife (and any woman or man) would BEST be served with a gun that they can competently deploy with accuracy and skill. For a medium framed woman that might include a moderate weight automatic pistol in the .380 to .40 S&W range, an AR-15 outfitted for her particular use, or possibly a low mileage well maintained M1-Carbine or a Mini-14. For guaranteed reliability, a medium to large framed 5 – 6 inch revolver with .38+P or .357 JHP rounds and at least one speed loader (s)he knows how to use proficiently in the dark.
A shotgun? Only if she is comfortable with the weight, length, action and recoil which most women are not.
A double barreled shotgun; yeah right – I guess that would have to do if everything else is banned – which is of course the ultimate goal of these gun grabbers!
My guess is that if Biden wasn’t on board the gun grabbing extremist anti 2A train he is riding, he would NEVER proffer the “advise” he expressed in that video. He doesn’t even sound truly sincere, but rather more like he’s giving a sales pitch.
“Busted for smoking a joint in college? Kiss your gun rights goodbye.”
Do hard drugs in college? Get anointed infallible ruler!
i like firearms because i’m scared of knives.
How’s that “Stop Knives, Save Lives” campaign going for ya?
This guy knows what he’s talking about. I just wish he would have mentioned how to get one of those “300 round per second semi automatics”. Semi automatics are really just auto loaders. And to answer one of his questions, I need 30 rounds to “KILL” a dear because the deer where I come from have a bad attitude.
There go those dangerous weapons again, prowling the fair street of Nu Joisey.
23, huh? Wow, what a coinky-dink.
sounds like a German Belt Buckle.
Don’t know how to respond to this liberal scum? Flip them off or just hold my AR and say come and take it scum. LOL
Either a G17 or a Sig P6, both loaded with Cor-Bon +P 115 gr and maybe a spare mag for the Sig. Currently, the Glock is the EDC while the Sig stays in the truck. Also keep a KelTec P32 for backup or super discreet carry. One flashlight on bed side table, on in the truck. At work surveying, a Gerber machete with a saw on the back. 🙂
Wifey to be keeps a j frame in the car, and 2 million volts in her purse!
ETA: I also keep a 33 rounder in the truck, and carry two cell phones, one Verizon, one AT&T.
Guess I’d best make a few wheellocks before “they” take my machines…
