The battle for gun rights will not be won or lost in the middle class mainstream. It will be fought within minority communities. That’s where the need for armed self-defense is highest; where politicians seeking civilian disarmament shelter their statist ambitions. Ground zero for this “culture war” on guns: women. Like it or not, women are often are the final (if not only) arbiter of whether or not there’s a gun in the home. They decide if children grow up with firearms familiarity. With Smith & Wesson writing the check, the NRA has re-launched its female-focused website. NRA Women should post regular videos responding to news events in a timely manner. It should focus on inner city self-defense. It won’t. Not yet. But it’s a start. Is Colion Noir’s insertion into NRA culture and this fresh effort indication that the NRA finally gets it? Or is it just window dressing?
I was a little late for the 1st quarter sales figures, but my purchase of a Super Blackhawk 44 mag last month will help in the 2nd quarter. Even scored a box of CCI 22lr 375 waiting 20 minutes in line at Turners at openning. It is getting a little better maybe.
After giving Obama his bottle and putting him down for his nap to ensure the Crybaby in Chief didn’t do anything (else) stupid, his handlers realized no new gun legislation was going to get through at the federal level until another shooting. They’re taking their time planning and implementing a false flag shooting, using immigration to get people’s minds away from gun control so they can be freshly yanked back into the emotional manipulation later. They want to get it right this time.
Is the NRA finally waking up to the fact that just white guys can’t save our rights? I hope so, or 2a is gone.
I joined the NRA after years of waiting once they brought Colion Noir on board. It’s indicative of SOMEONE (maybe not the organization as a whole) finally getting the hint.
Does anyone at the NRA actually read TTAG?
It really needs to be a youtube channel. Having your own website is fine but no one will see it. The NRA never seems to be in touch with modern communications.
Every day I lose more and more faith in humanity. Pretty soon, jellyfish will have more brains and a stronger backbone
FINALLY!!!
Refreshing to see this. We need more of this out there in the public.
Excellent video. The NRA is still pretty damn OFWG, but if they start bringing in women, then they’ve got a party.
It’s apparent you’ve never been in law enforcement Mr. Farago. Another example, of why I think competition and self defense are 2 separate animals entirely.
A bad guy who comes out of the vehicle shooting at the cops, with a rifle, is going to get shot as many times as it takes to stop the threat. Just like I train my students to continue to shoot until the threat goes to the ground, just because he’s on the ground, doesn’t mean he can’t still pull the trigger. The 1986 FBI, Miami shootout is a prime example. People who are supposed to be dead, are still able to pull a trigger.
These officers, stopped shooting, once they RECOGNIZED the threat had stopped. Period. I would recommend, you do the same. This is what happens in real life. Not in theory. Not by shooting a stage in an IDPA, or other match.
A jury, who saw this video, I am sure, would side with the officers. I know I would if I was on that jury. Hopefully, there will be no such shenanigans. This is what happens when you try to kill the po-po.
Well, it’s a good beginning. More like a baby step judging from the number of “Coming Soon” links.
Fundraising through various activities as sales, silent auctions, walk-a-thons, races, or entertainment events is a popular revenue generator for charitable and non-profit organizations. However, quite a few obstacles exist in the pursuit of running a successful fundraiser, including lacking or overworked volunteers, limited payment methods, limited reach, and overall process inefficiencies.,”

my concern would be failure causing a problem with the gun properly functioning in a life or death situation…maybe for idpa but a no go for EDC in my opinion.
The NRA was the quiet 800lb gorilla in the room for a long time.
They’ve slowly and incessantly pushed and prodded legislation
but never really throwing its weight around. I think the higher
ups in the NRA have realized that they need to start actively and
openly fighting, but there seems to be almost a deliberate
slowness. While it may be gratifying to have the NRA become
more confrontational, especially via public debate; it may not
be the best long term strategy. With the increase focus on
women and minorities I think that the behemoth that is the NRA
is atleast starting to move around a bit more.
Honestly, i think “modernizing” the NRA is the best route for us. It needs a PR campaign as a reaction to the standard derisive notion that the NRA is just a bunch of white yokels wearing camouflage. As an East Coast non-white moderate, i resisted joining the NRA for a number of years. To me, it just seemed like an OFWG club.
I now know it’s not, because the NRA is a single-issue organization that i am proud to be a member of. EVERY single NRA member i have ever encountered are among the friendliest, nicest people i’ve met. Changing the “face” of the NRA to show that it’s an organization of like-minded people regardless of race or gender will do a LOT to win this culture war that we’re in.
There are a lot more of us “minorities” that are 2nd Amendment people than you think.
Didn’t realize that was you, Rob.
Well played, sir. Well played indeed. You may not have intended to troll the media, but you trolled them hard nonetheless.
Home carry.
I don’t trust that kind of safe/storage.
The gun-grabber: the kind of suck sub-human who takes pride in being unable to defend their children.
The longer this goes on the more people that wake up to o’s “final solution”. Time is not on their side, Randy
Definitely agree that they need a Youtube channel for this, but otherwise great start!
I have kept a gun in at least one room in every floor of my house,even the bathroom …..don’t want to be caught with my pants down, so to speak
Serious questions: Do you keep the gun under the bathroom sink or somewhere else? And you’re not worried about rust from repeated shower steamings (despite the open window or vent)?
Nice Talking Heads reference. How did I get here? 😉
Growing up, my room had the second largest closet space next to my parents’ closet. A locked safe was kept in my room holding important documents, jewelry, and the family’s guns, except for the pistol my father kept in his nightstand.
And guess what? Zero issues with it… my parents taught me at an early age to respect firearms, as well as what do to in an emergency (God forbid) my mother and father were incapacitated and I needed to defend my little sister…
For the record, as a boy I figured out how to get into every hidden/locked box in my house by the time I was 12. Combinations, keys, whatever.
It turns out that I had no nefarious motive for doing so other than curiosity, the challenge, and wanting to know I could do it in the event of an emergency.
By then I knew basic gun safety however. And I wasn’t psychotic.
I’ve come clean with my parents as an adult and apologized, and while it was too long ago for them to be mad, kind of gave them a brief panic attack after the fact.
So while I can’t refute your logic at all, (it’s a great idea in theory and I do like it a lot) I feel that when I have kids approaching pre-teen years when they’ll be able to be left at home, with my particular DNA in them, I’m not going to be able to do this. I’m going to invest in the best safe lock I can get, put that behind a security door in my closet with a cipher lock on it, and keep my “house gun” on my person when it’s not locked up in that safe. Sounds extreme, but I remember being that age and those expeditions vividly and in my group of friends (the “gifted kids”) I was not unique.
This goes against child brain development. The human brain is not fully developed until the late 20s. Due to this fact children win make rash decisions and act on impulses. They may not even understand what they are doing is considered “wrong”. Fast forward a few years in states like MA where 12 year old kids get charged with felonies for having a rock fight in the neighborhood. One kid ducked and the rock went through the front window of the neighbor. Instead of working out how the kid will pay for it, the moonbat called the cops. They charged him with a felony and assault with a dangerous weapon. Of course they plead to a lesser charger but it still pops up as a felony charge on background checks. Zero tolerance laws are hot garbage and remove the decision making and common sense (TM) to solving problems.
JAN BREWER FOR PRESIDENT. I BET SHE CAN BEAT UP OBAMA TO.
It’s about damn time. As for Brewer for President, I’ll pass. She may be fun to watch on 2A and immigration related issues, but she has just as many statist tendencies as John McCain on other issues.
In my opinion you can either trust a person with a firearm or you can’t. It doesn’t matter if they are a child or an adult. There are mature adults and immature adults, mature children and immature children. Either let them have access to a gun or don’t. It’s all about the individual.
Arms for Syrians? That makes as much sense as welfare for terrorists. Oh, wait. That’s official policy in Massachusetts.
The NRA needs to realize that guns are for all Americans, not just the conservative right, and needs more speakers like Colion Noir, other minorities, and women to show that the delusional progressives are completely wrong on the issue of firearms: women need firearms, the weak and the elderly need firearms, the poor in bad neighborhoods need firearms — and they need them THE MOST. It’s time to stop catering to the “right” and start bringing in the center; and instead of being branded extremists instead show that it’s the progressives (like me) who are the extremists. Drugs, gangs and lack of mental health are the greatest contributors to gun violence, we can solve that if we really wanted to — and we have to.
ummmm….. victims are supposed to be polite, and give in… up to 10 years worth evidently, if events play out as they may in the recent kidnapping of 3 women.
Those communities are getting exactly what they deserve. They made their bed. Let them lay in it.
Bitch meet Slap

I am Swarf’s total lack of surprise that the TSA or it’s lackeys would be too dumb to download the CAD file and print one of the things themselves.
Fu*k those bull-fondling smurf bastards.
Sell him a gun without a license and all that good stuff after you made it yourself?
Sounds like entrapment to me.
Risky propositions offered. Good move on refusing to sell the prototype, especially without a serial number. Let them have a non-functioning one? maybe not. With the given plan for the plans, I’d agree on pointing them to A link to it and the bill of materials. They can be slick as snot with subterfuge if it serves them.
There’s already arguments on CNET about the piece of metal not being integrated into the design, despite directions to EPOXY it in place, and making it non-detectable by not doing that step. Some on there even thinking it’s illegal just because no serial is on it. Some think it’s good for up to six shots, and some very untrustworthy for even a single shot.
