Read up on the guerilla movement in the Phillippines during WW2. Slambang shotguns (two pieces of black iron pipe, a pipe cap, a nail for a firing pin and a reloaded shotgun shell) – not pretty but they worked. Reloaded rifle ammunition using pieces of brass curtain rod for bullets and salvaged unexploded bomb or naval mine powder for propellant with strike anywhere match head primers. Dangerous? Of course but those old Arikasa rifles were pretty much indestructable. One round of the bad stuff could get you 60 rounds of good stuff and another rifle too.
If you argue that guerilla forces are only a minor irritant to a full time army with artillery and aircraft you need to go back and read some history. Large sections of the Balkans and the Phillippines were pretty much independent of Axis control prior to the Allied troops moving back in. Both the Germans and the Japanese were too stretched for manpower and resources to exercise tight control on remote areas.
Just sayin…
Repeat after me:
“I WILL NOT COMPLY!”
This story is just one example of what cops deal with on a daily basis, and not just in major cities. Yes, it does not justify or excuse bad behaviour on the part of cops. It does illustrate that they put up with alot of crap most of us will never see or expereince in our lifetimes.
I was a cop for almost 20 years, and I’m still a reserve officer. That scene reminds me of ones that I’ve worked: like the guy that stabbed his mother to death because she wouldn’t give him money for dope…and having to jump over her dead body to chase this a$$hole four blocks before catching him, or the guy that stomped his mothers brains out in the living room…for reasons unknown…and patiently waited on the couch for us to arrive and take him into custody…or the young female that shot herself in the abdomen in the tub to allegedly commit suicide, with a 8 month old fetus in her belly, that convienently took the slug for her…and she DIDN’T go to jail…
I’m glad I don’t do that job anymore, but I can’t stand disrespect for the majority of people who are doing it. Yes, punish the guilty among them, weed out the bad apples, but leave the people who are working for a living alone, they have enough to deal with.
Watch the whole thing and you qualify under the MrColionNoir standardized test as a “Gun Nut”!
We may want to consider the source here. From Amazon: “Dan Baum is both a lifelong gun guy and a Jewish Democrat who grew up in suburban New Jersey…” Mr. Baum may not have stayed for the entire rally or might be trying to downplay the turnout.
I was at the rally in Denver yesterday with a group of eight freedom friends and there were a lot more people than shown in this photo.
My major complaints were the lack of media present (shocker), all the old white dudes, the god talk and the appearance of a lack of organization. For the most part it was a caricature of how the main stream media attempts to portray the NRA and gun owners in general.
Here were two highlights of the rally for me: Evan Todd spoke and it was very encouraging to see a victim of a mass shooting that turned toward freedom rather than tyranny. Senator Vicki Marble asked all the ladies to join her on the steps for her speech and there were quite a few of them, many of them were holding signs.

Let’s leave the conspiracy theories on the idiocy that the greatest army in the world has been using for twenty years Beretta guns as a favor to Italy and read this:
“The average reliability of all M9 pistols tested at Beretta U.S.A. is 17,500 rounds without a stoppage.
• During one test of twelve pistols fired at Beretta U.S.A. before Army supervision, Beretta-made M9 pistols shot 168,000 rounds without a single malfunction.
• The Beretta 9mm pistol was the most reliable of all pistols tested in the 1984 competition which resulted in the award of the M9 contract to Beretta.
• Two-thirds of all M9 pistols endurance tested at Beretta U.S.A. fired 5,000 rounds without a single mal function or, at most, with only one malfunction.
• The average durability of Beretta M9 slides is over 35,000 rounds, the point at which U.S. Army testing ceases.
• The average durability of M9 frames is over 30,000 rounds. The average durability of M9 locking blocks is 22,000 rounds.”
Hardly. But I am unwilling to say I’ll let the crocodile eat the kids if it’ll just leave my guns alone.
Looks like this t**d’s hair is hanging ten.
Keep calling your reps and senators and say no to any Gun Bans!!!!!
I was never a cop, but I was an EMT, in the east Los Angeles area.
I for one will never bitch about LEOs as a group.
There are bad cops, sure, and even areas with severely double plus ungood departments, but by and large they’ve the toughest, most thankless job imaginable and most of ’em just do it.
Russ, old fart
is this like when vans were driving around Philly picking up Obama voters? not sure what went on in the vans. Maybe a couple of hits of that boy boy namsayin?
oh, the kindness of their hearts.
Frees up Colt and Remington to supply the domestic market.
I followed the Nemo Arms link to see the pic. Ended up on their site checking out all their rifles…. holy sheit… I’m all hot and bothered.
