Quote of the Day: You Go Girl Edition

“If it weren’t for the British, we wouldn’t even have to have protections to carry guns. It was the British way back when they founded America. They were running through all of our homes trying to take our stuff. So we’re protected under the Constitution. So it’s not really right for a Brit to jump up and start talking to us about gun control.” – Nancy Grace to Piers Morgan in Is CNN’s Piers Morgan Shooting Himself in the Foot? [at variety.com]

  1. New Jersey ,breaks every law in the book on their restriction practices.Not only are they in violation of the 2nd Amendment ,they violate the fourth most the time with Illegal search and seizure .Plus they violate the 1968 Firearm Owners Protection Act article 18 ;transportation of a firearm through states of the union.
    But what else is new when you have Liberal,idiot Democrats running things!

  2. ”I was unable to find out what caliber Mendoza was carrying, but since the guy managed to keep fighting, it’s clear it wasn’t .40 S&W.”

    I was good with the article until you fell into the “magic bullet” trap. The 40? Really? It’s not a death ray. Have you read the story about the LEO who dumped 14 rounds of 45ACP into a felon (with at least 4 hits that should have been fatal) and the guy still lived. The 40, like all other common pistol calibers, are anemic for stopping threats when compared to rifle caliber rounds. That cop now carries 145 rounds of 9mm on duty.

    • I think he may have been being sarcastic.

      I’ve always thought that the english language should have a standard punctuation of some sort to indicate sarcasm. For the lack of other alternatives, I’ve started adding “[sarc.]” to the end of my sentences when I’m being absurd so that the reader doesn’t think I actually mean what I wrote.

  3. “He managed to nip a female customer’s elbow with the blade before the store security guard”

    People have forgotten just how deadly swords are and that hit could have been a death wound at worst. It could have crippled her for life. I started learning historical sword fighting and one move we learned was a quick hit with the sword’s tip to the top of the head. I perceived it as a light hit, likely to distract. The instructor said if it were properly done, it would split an unarmored skull through the forehead.

  4. Piers and Nancy are both reaching to keep their meager ratings alive… Hopefully they will both find somewhere else to reach their limited audiences.

  5. It’s a lot easier to arbitrarily dictate the amount of bullets one can carry in a gun than get serious about crime, which means citizens teaching criminals that there is no appeal process when facing an armed victim.

  6. Funny how they never give an actual release date is it coming out this month or fall or winter? Have they ever heard of notifying the public( The people who would want to buy such a rifle) of what’s going on over there? Im pretty sure they lost the market edge because so many people just decided to buy other rifles and the market is dying down a bit. My BF want/wanted one of these things and I think it be an awesome rifle to try out but there is never a release date, how do you expect people to save or make a choice to buy your rifle if you give nothing on when they’ll start shipping? Great its suppose to be a nice rifle to bad everyone in the firearm community who has been interested is getting fed up lol.

  8. I really like that gun, much more than the serbu shorty.They should import a long barrel pistol grip model to the states so we can make it an AOW.

  9. “Their survival depends on human stewardship. Legal hunting would be lucrative for all concerned. It would give corrupt government officials, professional hunters and locals a cash incentive to protect pachyderms. The more money elephants make for their stewards the more zealous those protectors will be.”

    The whole “limited hunting will save them” argument pivots on one thing … that the money coming from limited legal hunts is greater than what the poachers can offer those “corrupt government officials”.

    As soon as you take human greed into account the whole argument falls apart!

  11. One comment that was made was that the R51 was only an insignificant 0.18 thinner than a Glock.

    I guess that depends upon the perspective of the person. Since the R51 is only an inch thick, an increase of almost 20% is significant. Possibly being nearly equal to the thickness of the holster. That seemingly small difference can be a big deal in terms of concealment or comfort with a gun that will be carried all the time.

  12. “But what troubles me most about . . . the general More Guns approach to social ills . . . is the absolute abandonment of civil society it represents. It gives up on the rule of law in favor of a Hobbesian “war of every man against every man” in which we no longer have genuine neighbors, only potential enemies. You may trust your neighbor for now — but you have high-powered recourse if he ever acts wrongly”.

    This person apparently does not understand preparedness. I carry jumper cables and other gear in my car, but it is not because I don’t maintain it and expect to break down at any moment. I have a fire extinguisher, but not because I’m scared that I can’t cook without setting the kitchen ablaze. I keep a first aid kit around while working, despite having never hurt myself seriously on the job. I have a couple guns, and plan to carry when I can, and it’s not because I believe my neighbors could turn on me or that I’ll have to defend my home from looters or a tyranny. It is for the unplanned, unexpected, and undesirable events that we do our best to avoid, that we have these emergency items.
    The fact that it’s also fun to shoot is just a convenient bonus.

  13. Robert, your website – your rules. End of conversation.

    I don’t see this being a big deal. It leaves commenting on TTAG pretty much still wide open.
