In the course of discussing Obamacare’s [alleged] provision of a double secret “officer corps,” Texas Rep. Louie Gomert wonders (darkly) about Uncle Sam’s decision to stockpile ammo, including hollow points. And then he asserts “most ranges don’t let you use hollow-points; they’re too destructive of the target.” Gomert goes on to assert—rightly—that America’s “not supposed to have a secret security force.” (*cough* NSA *cough*) Or any of the hidden activities of any of the fed’s alphabet soup of law enforcement agencies. (*cough* Fast and Furious *cough*) Of course, none of that is as worrying as, say, New York’s SAFE Act. That’s the thing about conspiracy theories: it’s the conspiracy right in front of you that you need to worry about. Still, extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Right? [h/t DrVino]
“After you.” “No, after y… – no, wait!
Hollow-points are not destructive of targets!
What in the flying fuck is the fixation with the political class and their mouth-breathing troglodyte presstitutes in the lamestream media on hollow-points?
The ammunition types that ranges ban most are bi-metal jacketed (steel-cased essentially) and armor-piercing/incendiary bullets, because those damage bullet traps and (allegedly) bi-metal jackets somehow pose a fire hazard (which I have a hard time believing).
“History is replete with conspiracy theories and the cemetaries are full of people who did not believe in them.” – Cliff Heseltine
We KNOW that Obamacare is a conspiracy
The last 6 years are replete with conspiracies
So where is the argument against the conspiracy?
That can be found in the Media defense of the current Regime
No problem with arming up with someone out there at 3 am. Opening door, mistake, but no inconsistent with apprehension of danger. Pointing in on the women without a reasonable basis: assault. Finger on the trigger while pointing in without a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm: recipe for a negligent discharge and manslaughter charge assuming we believe his story. He’s in a heap of trouble.
Seriously people. This nothing new. Bush did the exact same thing. He pushed legislation that were so secret that members of congress were not allowed to see but voted yes on. This was rarely covered and hushed quickly. So do not act so surprised. Clinton was not allowed to area 51 because the AEC said no. So, stop with the anti obama crap. It is just the government being the government.
I can’t believe they were that stupid?? You would think they would have learned that if you give the DEMOCRATS an inch they will — well you know how it goes!!
I just canceled my new subscription and contacted every gun owner I know and forwarded this to them.
The NRA contest amuses me. Instant arsenal, just add ammo.
The best I’ve found so far is my Glock 19 or 26 in a Raven Concealment Phantom Holster worn IWB at 4 O’clock with soft loops attached to the Raven struts. Belt is The Wilderness Instructor (CSM model). I cover with regular camp shirts or 5.11 Concealment shirts. The benefit of 5.11 is that its cut just a bit longer/wider at the waist so you don’t have to wear a huge baggy shirt. Very very comfortable and holds tight into the body.
Their relationship started off during a Mexican standoff. It blossomed for years until eddie finally looked away, and blam!
I am surprised Fat Al went after such low hanging fruit.
IMHO, Amazon Prime is the best ‘subscription’ for the money you can EVER have!
Kindle reader is free, but this book is $2.99
Benelli. First, cuz I own it.
But more importantly: 1. It’s slingable, 2. It’s larger-than-squirrels huntable, 3. Shells would be easier to concoct than cartridges, 4. It’d definitely kill zombies.
As so oft said: Your handgun is what you use to fight your way back to your long/shotgun, that you should’ve had in the first place.
The first generation Farago’s arrive in America and publicly promise each other that their forbearers will respect and defend the Constitution of this great land.
It’s the non gun owners that are trying to compensate for their shorter… ties.
I am equally certain that the hollow point stock pile is not being used to attack people the USA as I am that it is a cover up for something else that has not leaked yet like sending that ammo to Mexico or Libya under the cover of DHS
I’d be willing to bet Natalie’s little letter was prompted by an adult. “Here sweetie, write this to the president just like this”…
ah, Matt Bracken. a great writer… if you like your writers to be racist and bad at writing.
“Sh*t, no one said this was a drawn gun party, now we look like assholes”
wait, who are these “TSA supervisors” carrying firearms?
Worked in the land down under.
Mark Kelly and wife Gabbie Giffords pose with outdated weapons to “prove” they support the Second Amendment. Gun safety, not so much.
