Quote of the Day: Well, It Worked for a While Edition

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

“(T)here is a vast spectrum of skin colors represented in (the 18th century south). Some people are very dark skinned and free. Some people are light-skinned and bound laborers as indentured servants were in colonial Virginia and elsewhere. Indians too were considered to have very dark skin. They were not Christians. They did not speak English. And yet there were factors that prevented their mass enslavement in British North America, and those factors were their organization in nation or confederations and the fact that they were, in many cases, armed.” – A Dreadful Deceit: The Myth of Race from the Colonial Era to Obama’s America author Jacqueline Jones [at npr.com]

  1. I wish I could get one of their garlands. I just need to join a club but I live in guyton Georgia and can’t find anyone close on their list. Not to mention their list is a little vague and I don’t have time/money to drive around Georgia/south Carolina looking at gun clubs.

  2. I believe that carbine complies with Cook County’s AWB, so yippee for me . . . until someone rats us out and it is specifically added as a prohibited item like the Storm and some other compliant rifles have been.

  3. Critical Defense 115 happened to be the only self defense 9 mm my local gun store had in stock last time I bought. Which was a while ago. Any way, it’s good to know that it doesn’t suck. At least in short barrels. I can’t think another inch or so would change things by more then 40-50 fps.

  4. Not a big fan of this but it does indeed serve a purpose.
    Still not something Id look forward to firing for an extended period of time.
    By that I mean an AK pistol with or without the brace.
    I prefer the full sized rifle myself.

  5. 400 million people in the untied states. 40% of which own and purchase firearms and ammunition. In some cases multiple firearms.

    Less than 1 million LEOs. Purchasing a service sidearm and maybe a rifle every 2-5 years?

    I hope the gun manufacturers know who is buttering their bread and act accordingly. Not selling to agencies that adopt this tactic would be a start.

  6. I picked up one of these, in olive drab, at a local gun show a few months ago for $60. It’s awesome, really well made, has a TON of room and I’ll certainly buy another in the coming year. Well, well worth the price I paid.

  7. Neither. There is no positive to legal firearm ownership in the UK. In the event you ever used it to protect yourself or your family, you would be the criminal.

    Best to avoid the situation all together and go black market….or opt for a cricket bat for home defense.

  8. suggest the manufactures submit 2 bids, one w/o questions and one with answers for 1.5X the no question bid. then they take out an ad and ask the taxpayers which one they want.

    Recalls can happen most anywhere and misuse of tax funds is cause.
