Condition white is good for business! For you? Not so much. Stay wary, my friends . . . TripAdvisor’s business practices under review by FTC as more travelers say their warnings of rapes, injuries were blocked
An investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel revealed that TripAdvisor had deleted reports of rapes, blackouts and other injuries and deaths among travelers vacationing in Mexico.
Since then, dozens more people who have traveled around the world have told the Journal Sentinel that TripAdvisor silenced their reports of disturbing, sometimes terrifying experiences.
Finally . . . Black Friday for guns: US government to sell M1911 pistols to general public for cheap
A scheme known as the Civilian Marksmanship Program is set to use the amendment to allow the sale of powerful pistols to the general public.
The scheme, which was first set up in 1903, is aimed at promoting firearm safety, but one of the most popular aspects of it is sale of surplus weaponry.
In the 2018 act, the long-standing .45 ACP M1911A1 pistol, a staple of the US military for more than a century, will soon be able to be transferred into the ownership of hundreds of gun owners in the US.
A cache of the guns, which are “no longer actively issued for military service” will be given to the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
On top of the M1911A1, the M1911 pistol, the M–1 Garand, and .22 rimfire rifles will all be up for grabs when they are sold in 2018.
Define “effectiveness.” Better yet, quantify it. And then tell me what part of “shall not be infringed” allows limits on lawful firearms purchases . . . Virginia is still the go-to state for criminals shopping for illegal guns
Virginia had a law on the books for 19 years limiting handgun purchases to one a month, but — despite its effectiveness in curbing the illicit gun trade and appeals from families who lost loved ones in the Virginia Tech mass shooting — it was repealed in 2012 by the Republican-controlled legislature and then-Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R).
Efforts to reinstate this sensible limit have failed, and Virginia is once again one of the largest suppliers of crime guns on the East Coast.

Why are Washington state’s “pot shops” gun-free zones in the first place? . . . Petition wants to allow pot shop workers to carry guns
Tuesday’s shooting has added calls to allow pot shop employees to carry guns to work. Currently, Washington’s Liquor and Cannabis Board bans guns from pot shops. It does not matter if you are an employee or even have a concealed carry permit, guns are not allowed.
A petition is looking to change that. Written just days after Cameron Smith was killed at a Cheney pot shop, it says that pot shop workers have a “God given right” to defend themselves. Cavasier agrees and says guns could have prevented her co-workers from being shot.
D’oh! . . . More Travelers Being Caught With Guns At Airport Checkpoints
The 440 firearms found at airport checkpoints in Florida so far this year has already surpassed the 411 that were found all of last year. Since 2013, the number of guns found by the Transportation Security Administration in the state has increased by 93 percent.
Terrorists? Who, us? . . . Iraqi Militia Indicates Will Hand Heavy Guns to Army After Islamic State Quashed
A prominent Iraqi militia indicated on Thursday it would give any heavy weapons it had to the military once Islamic State was defeated and rejected a proposed U.S. congressional bill designating it a terrorist group.
Harakat Hezbollah al Nujaba, which has about 10,000 fighters, is one of the most important militias in Iraq. Though made up of Iraqis, it is loyal to Iran and is helping Tehran create a supply route through Iraq to Damascus . . .
“The tanks, armored vehicles, and machine guns belong to the army and it is natural that after the battles are over they return to the army,” [Iraqi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya] Rasool told Reuters in an interview.
If that’s the number of guns the Brits intercepted, how many got through? Number of weapons seized at UK ports triples
More than 6,300 guns and associated paraphernalia have been taken by Border Force officers in 2016/17 – a sharp rise from 2,299 in the previous 12 months which included the UK’s biggest ever gun smuggling plot.
BEST GUNS TO FIND UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Hey can we get a better more in depth article about the CMP 1911s? This is big news. Last I heard this whole thing was dead as a door nail. Is it really happening now or just more bullshit?

It’ll still be a while before any of them hit the streets, so to speak.
It’s been covered on Task&Purpose and I believe BreachBangClear as well.
This type of attack isn’t that uncommon, see West Webster, NY attack. Smaller scale, same idea.
If I could afford a safari, and wanted to go on one, and a lion was on the tag? You betcha I’d shoot the sucker. Why not? It was my money and so far as the country is concerned, it’s legal. SO what’s the BFD? Some pantywaist animal rights group get their titties in a wringer? I care as much about them as they care for me.
‘Nuf said.
Maybe because there is no comparison between them. I forgot to mention my S&W Model 41. It the 7 inch blued one with a muzzle brake. Its only 45 years old and beats the crap out of my Mark ll slabside as a target pistol in every possible way but cost. Never shot a Buck Mark or a S&W Model 22. Havent a clue about them.
“The haul comprised of 110 real and 353 imitation firearms, and 5,849 related items such as pepper sprays, gun parts and stun weapons.”
Above is from the original article. 6300 is NOT the number of guns.
How cheap are we talking about in regards to these 1911s?
I love how the 1911s are “high powered.” Jesus fuck They don’t even take magazines that these idiots would consider high capacity as of now. I mean, in the long run we know that 1 round is too much capacity for them but this is still 2017 and Hillary is (thankfully) not in the white house.
…protection, yes. Trophy, no.
Interesting about the pot shops.
In Colorado those places have armed guards and allow lawful carry. But then so do bars. Hell, you can even have a drink without disarming!
5.56×45= coyote. 7.62×51= grizzly bear. Glock= plastic. 1911= boat anchor………. How I Lost My Guns: The boat anchor let go, the boat drifted over the falls, the two rifles sunk, but the Glock floated to the top.I will never fish for coyote or bear again.
I own a smle mk III but the projectile is very erratic!!! Could I possibly be using the cartridge?
Nobody needs skinny jeans, including this hipster doofus. Hunter, my ass.
I’m curious about his sport. I really dig my 10/22 for squirrels and my AR (aeroplane eRadicater) for coyotes and hogs. So even “our sport” still isn’t his correct sport. Bet I even drive the wrong vehicle. Any bets?
‘Hunters know that high-capacity magazines and semi-automatic rifles are unnecessary for our sport.’

I’m not saying this guy enjoys a lot of flowery microbrews and enjoys telling everyone all about them even more… but certainly LOOKS like he does.
The thing that really frightens me is that the IQ of the average American has dropped by about fifty points since the Johnson Administration.
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers. “
How many of those 4473’s were submitted by committed democrats in order to….. to….. to what ? Start taking shots at elected ‘R’ officials and typical bitter clingers in order to start “it” ?….. to….. to….. to what….. to attempt what will undoubtedly be totally amateur false-flag something in order for MomsDemand and Mikey’sPeeps to look tame in comparison and have almost all media on their side ?
How many of those just-submitted 4473’s have errors on them on purpose to – this is a quote from the ‘nudge’ people – to try and “overwhelm the system”, like El Guapo and the Totalitarians did with exec orders and reg after reg after reg non-stop for 8 years ?
No that’s not crazy-talk. The left is continually trying everything and anything they can to “prove” current laws/regs and 2A itself need to disappear, with all weps (except theirs of course) to be confiscated – at gunpoint, of course (oh the irony) – and more.
But none of that can happen here.
I’ve had one of these in a youth version for a little over a year. Worst firearm I’ve ever owned. It jams every second round, is difficult to load, and even after multiple efforts at machining and correcting feed ramp and mag spring it won’t feed properly. Compared to Savage rifles, it’s not nearly as accurate or dependable. In terms of it being a youth model, I won’t even use it for that as I consider it unsafe with all the feed issues. I think a comparison of this rifle to any Remington firearm to be laughable and a real disservice to those who may be new to shooting sports. Avoid; there are far better options for your money.
I need a stock for a 03 Springfield Sporter. Is there an application in your inventory?
