TTAG reader Chip K saw Moms Demand Disarmament’s anti-gun agit-prop and thought, well, that makes sense. On some level. This level.

Nice post, ST, but surely the mere touch of a giggle switch didn’t by itself drive your epiphany.
We want to know the rest of the story.
Well said, sir.
To the others I would add – find a non confrontational way to introduce new shooters into the fold, expose the myths of gun control, and highlight stories regarding successful armed self defense. Do not escape from the world – engage with it. Introduce people to the truth as well as you can.
A+ Much better than the original.
Let’s put them up at Staples and Starbucks.
You are welcome in my family!
Nick, you’ve made several mentions of your challenges with pistol accuracy this season. A few questions regarding that…
I had previously gotten the impression that you were comfortable with your accuracy when you ran a SIG. It’s been quite a while since you transitioned to an FN pistol — are you finding this to be a challenging platform to master, or have you found that your skills needed more improvement than you thought?
Related to that, I’ve been using some of the drills and concepts from Todd Green’s sites (pistol-training.com and pistol-forum.com) to work on my fundamentals. Have you been working any particular drills, taking training, or both to improve your pistol-wrangling?
If it’s any consolation, I am personally going through a reboot on my pistol skills after transitioning to the excellent (but very different from the DA/SA I’m used to) HK LEM system. I’m having to work VERY hard to get back to where I can reliably place my shots in the Dot Torture circles at 3-5y.
Ironically, my carbine skills have taken a significant leap forward of late, and just for giggles I spent some time accurately perforating the Dot Torture circles at 5y with the offset iron sights on my AR, which I would not have been able to do a month ago.
Fixed your poster for you!
Great post.Very informative and makes me want to explore more.
You have gained another reader.
To be fair Sarah Palin is an idiot and she was “targeting” political opponents, along with misquoting “blood of patriots” and all that crap. The uproar of course was over blown, but Dem offices were vandalised. Here they’re talking about women being a victim by gun violence, but it’s as sensational, emotional and still as stupid as the Palin ad.
I have no idea what you mean by that Trayvon allusion, but I hope it’s irreverent.
Great points all around! Thanks.
You know its ironic that the so much ground has been made on pot using this very same reasoning. Once enough real information got past the rhetoric and the propaganda, change started happening rapidly on the issue – indeed that process is very much still underway. And just like the author suggests, all that headway was made on the cultural front. Change the culture, then the culture will demand the laws change as well.
Bone stock DPMS Panther. The only adds are a Vortex flash hider, and a Trijicon ACOG. Spent more for the ACOG than the rifle.
I’m sorry how is concealed carry going to help her? Isn’t that image a rifle scope image pointed at the back of her head?
Is anybody surprised that the National Felony League has gone full retard? A general manager could put together a pretty good team from the convicts that played football.
Anyone suppose the players are frisked when they arrive for a game?
I call that gun “The Crab”.
The caption under the picture at the original article reads, “This pistol which was handed in is believed to date back to the 1700s”.
You betcha.
Only cops should have guns!
