“A scissor-wielding madman went on a bloody stabbing spree on the Upper West Side on Tuesday morning, randomly attacking at least five people, including a child in a stroller and his ballet dancer father, before cops carted him off, authorities said.” So shouts the New York Post. Gun grabbers look at the aftermath and say, “Thank God he didn’t have a gun or someone could have been killed. The law abiding People of the Gun look at this and say, “It’s a miracle someone wasn’t killed…if someone there had a gun, there might have been fewer victims.” The city, county and state of New York like things just as they are, with citizens reliant on police to deal with the bodies and the blood long after the attacks are over. Elections have consequences and it looks like they’re about to elect a new mayor who’s every bit as anti-gun as the current occupant of the office. The question is, do New Yorkers even care? [h/t Allen V.]
But I have it on good authority that the State of New York has banned “assault weapons” and no one needs them.
I’m sure they would care, except it appears that the Kool-Aid has been added to the city water supply. Probably the real reason Bloomberg wanted to limit the size of sodas – he wanted more people drinking the tainted city stuff.
New Bloomberg mission: Ban scissors over 4 inches long and any pair of scissors without curved tips. Sharp tips are a feature that differentiates regular scissors from assault scissors after all. It’s for the children™.
Really, no one needs anything more than Hello Kitty safety scissors….
except for law enforcement.
Aw dammit, now how will I bring my Hooty Owl safety scissors in the city?
All scissors must have a 10-sheets of paper cutting capacity or less.
But you may only cut 7 sheets at a time.
And it must be tissue…can’t risk paper cuts.
Some New Yorkers care about their crime problem. The others see it as a problem that happens to other people in other neighborhoods. (“It’s not my problem. Why should I care?”)
All of the New Yorkers have been fed the anti-gun propaganda for so long that they all believe the lie now. Also what they see in their real lives supports the anti-gun propaganda. In NYC, guns are so scarce in the hands of law-abiding citizens (other than the police), that the idea of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun is just incomprehensible to them. To them, guns are carried by the police and by criminals (and by no one else), so it is completely logical that we must keep guns away from everyone who isn’t the police.
This is one reason that Concealed carry laws are a bad thing, and one reason the anti’s oppose open-carry laws so strongly. If all the ‘concealed’ weapons were open-carried, the average person would see MANY more guns being carried by good guys every day, and their misconceptions about guns would disappear in the face of reality.
Someone comes at me with scissors and I’m dropping them right there. Because I don’t live in a slave state.
The Second Amendment does not protect any right to go and shoot soldiers and law enforcement because you disagree with the policies of a legitimately-elected government, it gives you the right to resist said government if it converts into a tyranny. From the Declaration of Independence:
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Thomas Jefferson is saying that you don’t just try overthrowing the government for light reasons, it has to be something major, like say if the U.S. government converts into a North American version of the Assad regime for example.
Gun reviews are your bread and butter. It’s what brought me here and look at all the others in this thread who say the same.
Historical guns (and more gun history in general- we all love that shit), gunsmithing lore, gunsmithing tips. Look at the positive reaction to that Bat Masterson PDF.
In much the same way that you can only see so many folding pocket knives before an automatic browser crash, you can only see so many SBRs. However cool they are, they are still boring as hell. It’s all the same plastic bullshit!
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
It is unfortunate. People are scared. You scared them. The law will not make them safer. They’re still scared, but now it’s a lot harder for them to do something about it.
I don’t think people realize how fragile the civil peace is. There is really nothing stopping a group of criminals from sacking your neighborhood just like a bunch of Viking raiders. There is little the police could do about it. I always find it amazing that the criminal element hasn’t figured this out yet.
The criminals in Chicago already have.That’s why the Magnificent Mile is in 2013 called the “Muggers Mile”.
Scumbags openly assault tourists in broad daylight,knowing the understaffed CPD and the crooked City Attorneys Office won’t lift a finger to stop them.
If only the sign was real!
Just opened a box of Remington GL41035 and was unable to unload the gun in the field after a hunting trip. Sent an email to Remington and noted on their website that this ammo is no longer shown as a product.
The law will make people safer? What a di@k head.
Stoeger M2000. Charging handle would inconveniently eject from retention about half the time. Went to a gunsmith who filed it in hopes it would stay retained in the bolt. Didn’t work. Sent the bolt and charging handle to Stoeger and they fixed the charging handle ejection problem. Next problem: light firing pin strikes. It would inconveniently not fire shotgun cartridges about…half the time. Got rid of it.
