Another jock strap…I mean supporter of the 2nd. There have been people killed on bike paths. He is one of those that lives in a crime free world, no bad guys. At least he wasn’t wabbit hunting with his double barrel, Randy
…because staying home and being denied the right to defend oneself is what freedom is all about.”
Brought to you by Mayor’s without a clue.
I guess he’s not talking about the Greenbelt in my neck of the woods…

He definitely isn’t talking about Atlanta’s bedroom communities, either:

Wait, I didn’t read the article before posting. He IS talking about an Atlanta bedroom community. The good news here is: Georgia state law preempts his little ego. It’s state law that anyone can carry in public parks or greenways.
I’m truly embarrassed this guy’s from where I’m from. Article about violence on his trail coming up.
Could someone please turn down the volume on that jacket?? My eyes are burning!!
He needs a strawboater to go with that jacket. And never trust bow tie wearers, they tend to be drama queens.
I wonder if Mayor Fudd is aware that there is a family of small revolvers known to collectors as “Velo-dogs”? When bicycles became popular in the late 1800’s, riders needed protection from marauding canines. Originally, `velocipede’ meant adult bicycle, not a kid’s tricycle.
Anyway, just another “2A, but..!” moron.
His agenda is obvious. He has a paramilitary force protecting him (he’s the mayor, the boss of the police chief). He wants all the power, and he doesn’t want to share it with anyone else, like citizens with guns.
“Afraid” is the key word in his quote. If someone is “afraid” then they should stay home. This is a common theme in anti-2A thinking in why someone would need to exercise their right to carry.
The thinking also helps boost their own self image as it implies that anti-2A are somehow unafraid and strong of character. They do not cower in fear all day and such.
You do not argue with someone like this. His statement has more to do with his own self-image (and group image) than it has to do with any of us.
And BTW, how the hell do people that ugly get elected to anything?
10 gallon hat and a cigar and you’ve got Boss Hogg.
His honor should remember Jennifer Ewing …
Right in his own back yard.
Tell her family what is/is not needed for protection on a bicycle trail.

Oh, goody, another politician-approved hunting ground for criminals.
I realize that it’s better if none of this nonsense passes, but does anyone honestly think that all of this isn’t going to wind up in front of the Supreme Court or overturned by lower courts? I cannt see how this and most of the rest of the civilian disarmament crap can possibly pass constitutional muster post- Heller.
I’d hate to see it come to that, but its pretty clear that this court has already ruled on this. I doubt if these laws will even get that far before they are overturned by lower courts – like the recent Illinois carry law case.
It’s a shame that the Second Amendment has to be the last barricade, but it is looking that that’s going to be where the battle is going to be fought. In the end, that’s why it is there.
If nothing else, it’s going to be quite a show as states and the federal government spend time and money they don’t have attacking the constitution, while much more serious issues go ignored.
Don’t put much faith in the Supreme Court. The best recourse is to defeat this crap before it is passed. Actually, the best recourse is to defeat the crap politicians who try to pass this crap. That’s the only thing they fear, being thrown off the gravy train.
Agreed. I’ve been pretty vocal about expressing my opinions to my Senators and House member. I’m pretty sure that the OK delegation won’t be among the enemies of the Bill of Rights when and if any of his comes to a vote.
I’ll have to leave the punitive votes to those who live in other locales. As for myself, I will punish any gun grabber at the ballot box even if it means voting for another gun grabber. A vote for any of this stuff means I work to get you unemployed. This might be a good message for folks in more washy washy areas to send. I doubt I’ll need to.
I’m with Chuck on this one. The Keio decision and the Obamacare surprise tells us we can’t depend on the SCOTUS as a firewall any longer. And if Barry gets to replace a somewhat conservative with one more suitable to his thinking the 2A is toast.

Best place I know of to fight it.
NBC has become the Pravda or Der Stürmer of our times. It is state run media. Don’t watch it. Any of it.
Personally, I think “victim disarmament” get the point across best. Everyone, at times, imagines themselves a victim (where true or, more likely, no); the term “victim disarmament” tends to draw them into the debate. Which is where they’re confronted with the errors in their thinking.
Although, technically, it’s not “thinking”, usually. It’s called “parroting”.
he obviously didnt know about this happening in Minnesota.

I’m still protesting the fall of the Byzantines and cannot in good faith by Turkish-made product.
That a-hole didn’t like the messages of the signs, so instead of engaging in a peaceful dialog, he goes to the government in hopes of getting them to use their guns on his behalf to shut the store owner up.
As long as the US military uses the M16/M4 platform assault rifle, COLT will always get paid no matter what manufacturer in comes from. they own the design and trademark and even the AR15/M4 title so they will always recieve royalties. not to mention the 1911 design which COLT owns too. Although the Beretta M9 has been contracted as the primary sidearm for the US military, the 1911 design has dominated the civilian market more than any other pistol design ever made. To add to that, the COLT 1911 is back in business after a full decade under a new USMC/MarSOC contract as the re-designed and improved COLT M45. However, only a quantity of 12K units where ordered due to the small community of the Elite USMC Recon Units. The regular Marine Corps is slowly transitioning from the Beretta M9 to the M9A1. But it will only be a matter of time before we start seeing the COLT DEFENSE start supplying the US military with 1911s as their primary sidearms.
I’s been the proud an happy owner of a PT 92 AF for over 20 years now, which included 3 years in the military.
The magazine glitch is quite easily solved:
Load up 15, pump a round into the chamber, drop the mag, and include #16, or pop #16 in manually before the 15-round mag goes in.
Before I take to the range, I whip off the baseplate of the mag and give the magspring a good stretch, which immediately takes care of the slide lock issue. When not in use, the weapon is cleaned at least once a week, with the same drill.
This method is effective, keeps the magazine clean (because everyone cleans it when they strip it, right?) and prevents an unpleasant jam in the middle of the tactical range.
Truth be told, I cannot remember when last I have had a feed failure or slide lock not locking, and believe me when I say that this firearm has had a long hard-working career.
