TTAG Supports Disarmament

If this video wasn’t from the New Orleans Police Department I’d swear it was a fake. ‘Cause, you know, the New Orleans Police Department is so trustworthy. Also, every Martial Arts-based “How to Defeat a Gun” video ever posted on YouTube has the pretend bad guy jamming the gun right up to the sensei. Which makes it a whole lot easier indeed to kick the BG’s butt and take away his or her weapon. As happened here. I guess truth is as strange as fiction. Oh, and this website formally endorses criminal disarmament during a violent attack. Or maybe even before. That is all.

  1. Given that so many people have some sort of mental illness it stands to reason that nearly 100% of Americans know someone who has a mental illness that might be disqualifying. How long before you’re required to list all of your family, friends, and acquaintances who might visit your home and come within 10 feet of your guns?

  2. Ditch NICS w/ no replacement? Isn’t that like Christmas day for the ANTI-gun crowd? “Hey look! Those crazy gun nuts got no checks at all to buy them deadly weapons! Ban guns now!”

    NICS at least gives them a warm and fuzzy and allows us to say “why implement all these other checks? NICS does XYZ already.” I don’t know that taking their warm fuzzy away does anything to help us, besides ending a usually brief and not to onerous bit of paperwork.

    If you think NICS is bad, don’t fool yourself that it would just go away and not be replaced w/ something worse.

  3. I think there is a chance some of it will get vetoed by Christie if he has any national ambitions. On one hand he’ll get to say; “Look I did something”, on the other hand he can say to base Republican voters “Hey I beat back the worst of it despite impossible odds.” Total coin-toss either way.

  4. Perfect Okinawan Karate circle-block and grab. Uechi-Ryu, anyone?

    Not that I’d want that to be my only level of defense.

  5. I would say derogatory things about New Jersey but It would not help the good people living there. I know we want the world to be a safer place, but it is too bad that misguided people are now in control and will make NJ an unfit place for honest gun owning citizens to live. It will not make the state any safer and by some measure it can make it less safe. Move over Chicago, we will soon have more resistance free areas for criminals to take advantage of innocent people in.

  6. Good Vid. But most of us @ TTAG would have also had a bigger gun, a backup, a second backup, and a pocket gun 😀

    I do think a family should “normally” be safe enough with a handgun, without all these BS gun restrictions and mag limits. I coulda dispatched 5-6 bad guys with my M&P very likely…

  7. I love S&W guns, but I am dismayed at the cheap crappy knives they license. They could go with a quality big league manufacturer and have something that would add value to their brand rather than cheapen it like the current knives do.

    I am a Smith & Wesson fanboy, but I refuse to carry a S&W knife

  8. I’m from NC, and this is a battle we are fighting tooth and nail here. There is a lot of good stuff in the HB937, and I’m afraid it won’t pass because of these liberal ass hats in the UNC system who aren’t willing to let CCW permit holders to have a weapon in their locked car on campus. Do these people not think that there are ALREADY guns on campus?

  9. It’s the 7th *Circuit* Court of Appeals, not District Court.

    Federal goes District (“Central District of California”) -> Circuit (“7th Circuit Court of Appeals”) -> Supreme Court.

  10. Gah, that idiot 180 degree rule. I understand the point of not shooting behind you, but requiring people to walk backwards versus simply pointing the gun in a safe place while moving is just dumb. It is completely doable to watch where you are going and watch the muzzle at the same time.
