If every good guy was armed and trained as this guy was. Crime would decrease greatly. Bad guys would stand no chance if we all carried and had training to back it up. This guy knew the laws and broke them he deserves everything he got and more
Was this guy trained?
“Today on Meet The Press,we have a random plumber from Los Angeles tonight to discuss his ideas on gun control”.
Since when did Hollywood become a credible authority on firearms?
Standard media tactic: parade someone unqualified to answer a question in front of the cameras and call them an expert. Works every time.
So…do us NRA members get free access those guns? I’m a life member, does that mean I can use the select fire stuff?
Mom always told me to never argue with drunks, toddlers and stupid people. These tryvon people fall into the drunk AND stupid category. Most black kids are killed by black people. Using their logic black people shouldn’t be allowed to own guns.
I’ve been looking for a new purchase….where can I get one of those nuclear tipped semi automatic?
Discrimination against us revolver guys again.
As tempting as it sounds, I don’t think I could abide putting the NRA in charge of our gun rights, and I’m a life member.
The only reason that was said is the sheeple think we’re just sheeple to the nra.
Sheeple will just assume others are sheeple because it is all they know.
I’m going to play Devil’s advocate here. I know Mr. Dreyfuss is a liberal, but look at what he said vs. what he didn’t say: he said the NRA trains people in excellence in firearms and the NRA should be in control of the guns, not the government. What he didn’t say was “Guns are the problem, ban the guns for the childrens’ sake! I am Trayvon!”
I think the “nuclear people-killer” descriptor might come from the fact that he personally does not like guns, and the idea of them, period. Fine, his choice. But, it seems to me he’s saying that while he’s a pacifist and hates guns because they’re used in war and what-not, people who choose to own them for protection should be able to, and they should also be trained to be proficient with them.
I’ll disagree that the NRA should make any list of guns that should be “allowed” in homes while keeping the “scary” ones in armories, but I like the fact that he didn’t call for disarmament as Piers was no-doubt hoping he would.
(edit for spelling and clarification)
If I had a choice between the NRA or the current admin decideing what guns I can keep at home, I’m going with NRA.
Yeah, me, too. Of course, I don’t want anyone, even someone I like, telling me what guns I’m allowed to have, but if I was forced to choose between the two, NRA without question. My pipe dream is arm all private citizens in the world, and disarm all governments. Watch how fast war would stop.
Well, technically war would not stop we would see more war on a much smaller scale, thugs would continue to be thugs and form gangs…
“They should create the short list of guns that are allowed at home.”
So with a statement like this, hes against gun control?
granted he looks like a saint next to that steaming pile of piers and doesnt share his equally fecal view entirely.
Call me crazy but I think this idea could work.
So the NRA gets to own all the guns, right? An annual membership is like 30 bucks a year. So 30 bucks a year to have access to ANY GUN YOU WANT. You ask for it, they toss it in a box and ship it straight to your door, like Netflix for guns. Don’t want it anymore? Send it back and they send you another one!
“Netflix for guns.” Ooooooh, baby…
Richard Dryfuss, who the hell is he? Just some actor. What’s the difference in asking for his opinions versus asking any random plumber or auto mechanic?
And now you understand why the sales tax is 10% in Mobile. They refuse to educate these morons with their property taxes.
The NRA can store the man-portable mortars, the RPGs, the SMAWs and the like, and we’ll keep the suppressed, SBR, full auto .300 BLK carbines at home without a silly stamp collection, okay? Okay.
No thanks. I want mortars RPGs and SMAWs, a Leopard 2A6M, a decent cache of Stingers, a howitzer, and maybe one or two of those fancy railguns the Navy is developing. Vicarious possession just doesn’t cut it for me.
Gentleman, this list of firearms approved for the home is easy and only one sentence… Made in the USA.
I can’t keep my Mosins, sks and Mak?
Who cares about debating with them? Gunowners aren’t gonna change their minds and they’re not gonna change ours. Crazies and lunatics have always been with us so don’t waste money and resources trying to ID and weed them out, it’s impossible. Just wear our guns and mind our own business until trouble starts then be ready to deal with it. That’s all we can do.
Dreyfuss is a putz. If you don’t recall from a decade ago, he went about saying that he was going to abandon acting and go to medical school and become a doctor. He is one of those insulated Hollyweenie types that actually believe their own BS. He has a mediocre mind and one giant megaphone. Pity.
I cannot tell if Mr. Dreyfuss is being sarcastic or serious. Perhaps his name would be more fitting if it was Richard Duffuss.
I live in an apartment with people above, below, on two sides and across the hall from me. I’m worried about overpenetration of conventional rounds. WTF am I gonna do with nuclear tips?
He sounds like he’s talking about the GUN, not the ammo….wouldn’t you like a U-235 flash hider?
You could be the first, and coincidentally last, person in you neighborhood to own one….
Funny, I thought U235 made a flash you could see for miles rather than hiding it.
Jaws should have finished him off when he had the chance…what an ass-clown

I still miss my slide rule, and log tables, but I use a calculator because it’s better. I finally got an Iphone because some of the apps are good. And I don’t play games on the Iphone, that what computers are for. In our world tech always moves forward. I’m not sure I like the idea of trackingpoint, but if I was hunting to stay alive I might learn to love it.
Remember those shooting galleries with the 100-shot pneumatic BB guns that could throw a 2″ group at four paces?
“don’t mind us, we’re just going to look at you.”
Pretty much.
A very solid review — and like the author, I hate plastic guide rods, aka swizzle sticks.
His family should go to jail with him. They are the ones who taught him that he could get away with robbing the store in the first place.
And here I was, for just a second, thinking maybe Dreyfuss wasn’t as batty as the rest of the inbred Hollywood tribe. Hope springs eternal, I guess (I should know better).
My Compact in 9mm was a jam-o-matic right out of the box. Beretta was very professional in taking care of the issue- paid shipping and repaired the problem, no charge. They only had it for a week or so, too. Great service all around.
Now it happily eats anything I put down it’s throat- fired 200 flawless mixed rounds of JHP, FMJ, and SWC last weekend. The mags break in after a while, and are easier to load. All-in-all I’m (now!) very happy with the Storm.
The rotating barrel is certainly an interesting system, I had a Stoeger Cougar for some time until I gave it to a friend of mine. Great gun overall, it was reliable and accurate, my only complaint (and the reason I eventually got rid of it) was the slide mounted decocker/safety. Of course I was raised on Sigs… So I know the proper place to put a decocker 🙂
Why?
Seems like a waste of money.
When I used an AR-15 in service competition, we had a match at 200 metres from the sitting position called “The Rapid Deployment Match”. We would shoot 5 single-snaps at a Figure 11 target, put the gun down, run back 5 metres to pick up another magazine, run back to the firing point, and reload for the next set of 5 target exposures. And this was done in 15 seconds. I never had a problem with reloading the AR-15 in those circumstances.
Three less. One small step for mankind.
Celebratory gunfire seems so archaic and 80’s. Shouldn’t they be using Claymore’s or grenades?
Propane tanks were also found around the home, but firefighters say those weren’t as big of a threat as the bullets.
-That’s why they get the big bucks. Deep knowledge. “Hey, look, there’s a huge airliner stuck in that building!” “OK, let’s all go there!” If a hurricane drowns your family, you get nothing. If an airplane bomb takes your daddy, you get “tort damages” curtesy of the taxpayers. If he was makin’ nothing, you get nothin’. If he was a bond trader, you’re set for life. ‘That’s why I love NY, NuuuuYoooork.’
some 2,000 people were evacuated from the terminals, hundreds more were affected, dozens of flights were delayed -some guy was thinking, “I’m not in school anymore. Anyway, bomb scares are lame. Ah! ‘It sounded like a gun shot!’….’I can’t make the flight, boss. They closed the airport.’ ” They never grow up.
In West Philadelphia (“born and raised…”) a woman was the victim of an accidental shooting on Friday afternoon,
-This is definitely a man-bites-dog story. I often drive through this area going from the western suburbs to Penn. An intentional shot is much more common, which helped Philly beat Chicago one weekend this month in Major League ‘people shot’ stats. Chicago!! It’s all in three neighborhoods. Team Spirit! “It ain’t easy, bro!” If only the Sixers could, well….
residential burglaries have put multiple guns in the hands of criminals
-and a bunch of cash in somebody’s hand. Wholesale Straw Purchase Agreement. Again. Beats selling them one at a time outside MacBurgers.
A nation in which every child is above average will naturally be incessantly full of win.
Thanks for the write-up and the follow-up comments. Although I am not well-heeled enough to be in the market for something like this, I enjoyed reading about it and getting the perspective of a professional shooter.
How about a new scandium alloy pepper box pistol or a ducks foot with an ACOG? Heck, let’s bring back a blunderbuss and add a threaded barrel while we’re at it. Honestly the only modern derringer type gun I would care to own is a bond arms 45/410, and that would only be for the novelty of shooting shotgun shells out of a pocket handgun.
Ugh, celebratory gunfire… I have no idea why they like this so much… Flying around Afghanistan during Muslim holidays or wedding season at night always made for a good show… Tracers everywhere. When my guys were in Baghdad they thought the world was ending when Iraq made it into the World Cup… Everyman man woman and child who had a firearm fired it into the air… I know not everyone is bad… But I can’t help but keep the term “savages” out of my head… Some things will never change
Someone should tell the Syrians and Libyans that guns are outdated and they should give them up because their fears of tyranny are irrational.
I have both the full size and compact PX4 in 9mm. It works beautifully for my preferences.
I have no problem at all with the safety, but then again I have longish fingers.
What, are you teaching the breakfast club? Hope you didn’t hurt your shooting hand patting yourself on the back.
Evie Hudak from Queens, NY has never been all that popular, winning by a bare majority the first time she ran and by a plurality the second time, edging out the Republican by a grand 342 votes.
She is New York City scum. I’m hoping that her time is up and that the people of Colorado aren’t “recalled out.”

“I’d also like to see the mental health question get addressed.”
The problem is the Progressive/Socialist/Communist use of psychology. To understand this, one must enter the mind of ‘a liberal’. (Beware, there be dragons.)
Premise: Since civilian gun use is evil, then wanting a gun is indicates a mental illness. Psych evaluation and drugs until the ‘want’ for an evil gun passes.
I hope this helps illuminate the problems of good intentions.
It would be better to eliminate ‘gun free zones’ and allow constitutional carry everywhere.
