duh, you have to be DHS then you can shoot at no-hesitation targets of women, children and old folks. come on stop being a racist and get with the program. and don’t get caught shooting at LEO or UN targets or you’ll be labeled a terrorist and drone killed
Question for the tactically minded – would it best for an armed citizen to barricade themselves as best possible and defend that position rather than roaming halls creating confusion for the police? Lock down makes sense, cowering unprotected does not.
First, his response sucks. That being said using a target representing Trayvon Martin is something less than a fireable offense. Since the target is not exhibiting thuggish behavior it is clearly a parody.
I haven’t really done any real competition, just local club matches. The norm there is the M1 Garand with a few AR’s sprinkled in. I never really paid any attention to the AR’s that were being shot, since it was a local club they were probably lax on the rules. Our club has 10 m1’s, so that you can shoot the matches without even owning a rifle. That is what I did, since I don’t own an m1. I have wanted one ever since ;-).
The proposed legislation looks like a win to me. I’ve watched the video and read the fox news article. If these sources are to be believed, the proposed legislation will EXPAND our rights, not decrease them. I’m cautiously optimistic. Or hopefully skeptical, if you get my drift.
My wife works for a middling size University. About 3000 staff and faculty and 20,000 students. We usually sell our unwanted crap on the University’s general use website. I have a flimsy plastic rifle case that I don’t need. My wife suggested tossing it in her car so she could take it to work and sell it. I suggested she think about strolling across campus carrying a rifle case. Might not be the best of ideas…
Even having to think about someone seeing that empty case going into full hyperventilation mode speaks volumes to how screwed up so many places, especially universities, have become.
I’m now reluctant to go on campus to visit my wife since I might get campus cop swatted if she is overheard saying “Is that a Taurus Raging Judge in your pocket or are you glad to see me?”
Alright, I’ll be honest…I would have laughed if a colleague brought those out. Sounds like something that might happen often on the range. A guy brings a target, everyone laughs at the joke, life goes on. My guess is that this guy was already in hot water and/or he had a superior or colleague with close ties to a superior that did not like him. Otherwise it sounds like a wrist slapping/stern talking to type of event.
Here is a reverse logic comment. They are throwing their support behind the bill with the belief the liberals will believe if gun owners like it so much it has to be bad for them and will vote against it and put it away for good.
The other issue is how many amendments get attached….so the libs attach the Feinstein bill, magazine bill, and does SAF still like it. Hope not.
Mostly it deals with the hiring of city employees and the raising of local funds via taxes and fees and crap like that.
I live in Greensboro. The whole situation was a ROYAL CF. Only one building was cordoned off and searched. NOT the campus. Students were encouraged to stay indoors, but there were lots of them strolling around the campus. It is a LARGE campus.
As far as “pathetic”/ “volunteer cops”. The GPD called in off duty officers and SWAT team members, as did the NCA&T PD, and UNC-G PD (yes, they are sworn LEOs. Both are fairly large depts.) . How do you dress when you are not working, shopping for groceries, washing the car? Cut the guys some slack. The pager/cellphone goes off: “Get your ass to A&T right now, possible active shooter!”
Most stores here in the Seattle area are pretty much running near empty (day to day) when it comes to the more desired calibers .22LR & WMR, .223/5.56, .380, .357 Mag, 9mm, .45ACP, .45LC, .44MAG, .308, .410 Handgun loads. Even some of the larger calibers like .454 Casull and .460MAG are in short supply. The only stuff I really see available in reasonable amount is .40SW, .38SPCL & .357SIG. I was at a store up near Burlington WA that had a quite a decent supply of .22WMR and even some .22LR (don’t need any) they also had quite a bit of the desired calibers, but mostly in 20 round HP (higher priced stuff) very little FMJ. Seems the high priced HP stuff is hanging around at some places, but Cabela’s was out of those too, when I was there in early April. Last time I saw a decent stock of ammo was right after Thanksgiving. Might be back to normal again, by this coming Thanksgiving; provided the FEDS are done messing with our rights and haven’t enacted some absurd laws : ( I think .40SW is available more, because many police departments use it; so they likely make more. Funny, during the Iraq & Afghan wars they were saying 9mm was low as a result, but those are basically over, so where’d all the 9mm go?
What a contrast to NY. I can’t vouch for the veracity of this but if its true I’d be suing like crazy in Federal court.

I am proud to have grown up in WV. A lot of great people there and most are pro 2A.
LePage will do what he says. King and Collins are traitors. The Tea Party elected LePage and with the renewed threat to the 2A, we will get him back in. Look for Maine to veer right over gun control and to take care of business when TSHTF.

The only people who will attempt a purchase with a background check are those who can pass one. In Illinois, we must have a state issued FOID card in order to buy ANY firearm or ammo, including online. Any transfer of ownership can ONLY take place between FOID card holders, period. We have a 3 day waiting period. We have no concealed carry. What does all this accomplish to stop gun deaths and keep guns out of criminals hands? Read the Chicago Tribune and see for yourself.
forgot about the SKS, very rugged but simple rifle i can stockpile 1000 and 1000 of 7.62 in sealed tin cans, have stripper clips easy reloading and it is not likley to be on any gun ban list. same time accurate and if you get hit by one you are not going to have a nice day… also VERY accurate as well…
“(4)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, except for section 923(m), the Attorney General may implement this subsection with regulations.
Eric Holder can write in any damn thing he pleases so this bill is total crap.
Video has been killed.
funny how the north is now deciding slavery (by law) is socially acceptable.. we here in the Wild West would not tolerate such horseshit. the not-so-united states. home of the submissive, land of the coward.
With ALL due respect for the tragedy, wouldn’t it be very appropriate to let Sandy Hook heal? Instead of attacking law abiding citizens and the very Document that includes the 2nd amendment which makes this Country free, why not put GOD back in the middle of things, pray, and put this great Country back on the path that we as a people have forgotten about? We have lost our way and need to get back on track SOON.
I have personally fought for this Country 1968-1970 and know what freedom is, and isn’t. It’s about time that the politicians brush the cobwebs away begin to remember freedom and the way it was back then. Please let Sandy Hook heal and get back to concentrating on issues that are becoming far greater nationwide and worldwide.
What a shame. We’ve lost so many this year. May he rest in peace.
Can you do the 7+1 with one in the chamber? So now you can have 8 in theory.
From the VCDL:
“3. While Alan claims that this bill would in no way lead to a registry, the data would be there for the taking, since the sale would be on a form 4473 kept by the dealer. If you didn’t sell through a dealer, the feds would know they only have to look to your family members to find the gun, since they would be the only people really exempt from the background check.”

or years, the press has been explaining that more gun control is necessary to keep white men from killing everybody. For example, last Friday the Washington Post featured an opinion article that began:
Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we’d have political debates demanding that African Americans be “held accountable.”
Friday is a slow day in the news business, so it appears to have become an attention-seeking tradition in the prestige media to post extremely stupid anti-white articles on that day, such as the one involving that “mysterious” murder of the black gay politician in Mississippi from four Fridays ago.
Much to the displeasure of the press, however, unwelcome commenters on articles about guns and murder often post links to the Administration’s own “Race” Web page on the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Homicide Trends website. There, federal bean counters stated:
In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites.
I have never considered the AR style to be pretty. Throw in Pepto Pink for a color and it hurts my eyes. When a gun makes a Mosin Nagant look handsome it’s time for at least a cosmetic upgrade.
Can you install Tech Sights on the heavy barrel model?
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but I actually helped write the Bible. Yeah, I even fully endorsed the original version, right up until the House added in all that language about hellfire, virgins and stoning. So its kind of a compromise now, but its still better than nothing – I just hope the spirit of the document is understood and not violated or used against us.
If my G22 holds 15 in the magazine, then there will be 15 in the gun, in MY home. If a pig were to come to take it (thank God I dont live in NY), he/she will become bacon.
Next time, you morons (who voted for Obummer) had better NEVER vote libtard (democrat) again.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
