Sadly Paul Ryan has never been for the people. He’s for Paul Ryan and his rhino buddies agenda only.
We need a speaker that will uphold their oath to the constitution and be for the people.
Quite frankly, he’s a bobbing idiot.
Our shooting club does not allow bumpfires. No range should allow them. The problem is that a shooter could lose momentary control of the weapon due to recoil (particularly if it is a AK47) and put a round out of the range and into the surrounding community. Not very good publicity.
I would also refer them to Jerry Miculek.
A little practice.
Okay, A LOT of practice. And many thousands of dollars worth of ammo, and you’re there.
I see no benefit to granting this interview to a national news outlet.
Good attempt by RF to tamp down panic, but you need to say WHY it’s not really practical. Assuming you have reasons?
Mine would be that I was taught that the only time full-auto fire from a rifle (as opposed to a real MG) is useful is when you have to rapidly kill everything in a room or trench – and in those tight quarters, it’s very likely that the stock would not stay perfectly seated in the shoulder, and so the bump-fire would fail to function. In any other situation, aimed semi-auto fire is more useful.
Tragically, the scumbag murder seems to have figured out a practical application -shooting at a target so big that it’s is literally unmissable.
I knew some nut was eventually going to use a bump fire stock in some massacre. Actually I expected someone was going to put a binary trigger in an AR pistol with DOLOS QD barrel and LAW Tactical folding stock adapter and go on a spree.
OMG IT’S A MACHINE GUN IN A BACKPACK.
I think it’s time to heat up the credit card and buy the cool stuff now.
A segment so facile as to be pointless.
I appreciate you guys tried to bring them the truth about guns, but no amount of 2 minute segments no matter how much true information is in them will be effective when all they have to do is show b roll of the reporter walking out of a gun shop with the stock and say no permit of background check is required to buy one.
Guy that has no .mil or .gov tactical experience and according to family isn’t a gun guy? My questions…
1. He displays an outstanding amount of tradecraft. Quality and high priced equipment, cameras in the hallways to act as visual intel, ambushing from above to ensure clear fields of fire, shooting from the hotel to ensure no police officer would return fire for fear of hitting an innocent bystander. This and more is the mark of a pro.
2. He has an obscene amount of firepower in the hotel room. A pro wouldn’t have bothered with more than say 5 guns. 2-3 rifles and 2 handguns. It’s almost as if an arsenal needed to be discovered to maximize the media/gun grabber potential. There is no other reason for that number of guns.
3. Reports say he and his girl dissappeared to the Phillipines for 6 months recently, she skeedaddled to the Phillipines right after, and he sent 100 grand to an account in the Phillipines last week. Isn’t the Phillipines like the worst country outside the Middle East as far as ISIS/Taliban terrorism? Yeah it is.
This stinks to high heaven.
I am not much for conspiracy theories anymore, but this, to me, does not add up either. I fully agree on the amount of weapons he had, way too many. Did he expect to use them all? A pro would not have bothered with bump-stocks. Too inaccurate, especially at that range. I could not hit a paper plate at 10 yards with one. If they were illegally converted to FA, then it would be harder to say we need to ban AR’s and bump-stocks (which were in the last version of the proposed AWB).
Who has funded the campaigns against us? Who has an unlimited budget for that reason? Who, up until this event, was doing very poorly with their propaganda campaigns against us? Michael Bloomberg. Look at the victims: country music fans. Not exactly people whose ideologies mesh well with the anti-gun crowd (just like the baseball field shooting in DC). Look at the timing, in regards to the HPA/Share Act: the events occurred very shortly before a crucial vote.
What if somebody had a way to make somebody more suggestible to ideas and acts? We know that CIA studied it in the 1960s and 1970s with LSD (MKUltra). I have heard that scopolamine can be used in such a fashion. I’m not saying it happened, but what if…. As I (and others) have said, something is very off about all of this.
Ryan the RINO is capable of great evil.Wouldn’t be surprised at treason. The line on the shoot is ludicrous…mayhap ISIS is truthful THIS TIME. Old dude is a terrorist and I guarantee he was a leftist POS. Target mostly younger white patriotic folks at a concert. And they let his Filipino galpal escape-after he wired $100000. And she got off social media the day before…????????????????
“a terrorist”?
pull the other one!
his own brother said he had no political/religious affiliations….
this thing had obviously been planned for months….
if he all of a sudden became “a terrorist”, then, it must’v occurred over-night!
nah!
this crap has got (dot)gov PSY-OP writ large all over it!
I’m always accused of my conspiracy theories, lol, I’m starting to think ISIS leaders are in cahoots with the U.S. gov., To many things are adding up. China wanting south China Sea, all of a sudden the Philippines want the U. S. back because ISIS problems, presto five navy bases open? If Im wrong on my facts let me know. .
I just bought the tactical version of this shotgun. The book said there is a setting for light brass. Anyone seen this book said its below the front site just havent looked yet
So let’s say legislation gets passed and bumpfire stocks get NFA treatment. How difficult is it to make your own bump stock?
Tim Kaine is a pitiful alcoholic who needs AA for his drinking problem
IMO clueless, ignorant people should be banned from exercising their right to free speech.
Las Vegas …. agenda driven event
Anyone who just listens to any of the videos of the the shooting can hear multiple firearms being simultaneously fired…. multiple shooters for sure!
You guys did well.
Imagine if they had instead interviews a bunch of morons missing teeth and wearing, “Shoot ’em all and let God sort ’em out” t-shirts.
Nah, it could have been a disaster, and you made it as neutral as possible.
Proud to associate with you guys.

They fell right into the LEFTIES hands. That is exactly what they had planed. I wouldn’t put it over that the DEMORATS planed this hole thing. And this isn’t the most KILLED in the USA. Back in the 1920’s there was some where around 837, 459, and 258 killed so this isn’t the biggest killing in the USA. Check it out.
It was OK! Better than I expected. Oh and I’m too poor to buy this stock and waste 100’s of rounds just for sh#ts and giggles…
So, this begs the question, are old Winchester 1897 pump shotguns or old model 12 shotguns considered machine guns?. Why, because you can keep the trigger pulled and keep racking the slide and it will continue firing with only one pull of the trigger (being held down). See how this topic can become just ridiculous.
If you have a lot of experience with AR-15’s you don’t even need the bump fire stock, this can be done with holding it against your hip and it will rock and roll.
It just amazes me how ignorant the general population is about firearms.
So, 90% of them are fully valid … not perfect, but not exactly deceptive, right?
Are you friggin’ kidding me? Idiots! CBS like all major news networks save for FOX News are the ENEMY, why would you even consider demonstrating ANYTHING for them as they will only use it against law-abiding gun owners?
Was TTAG smart enough to do like the like the Virginia gun owners did and “tape” the entire event yourselves in case it’s deceptively edited ala Katie Couric?
Getting tired of all the bullshit speculation and false narratives. He was located within a few minuets not 2 hours as this article suggests.
There was a hotel security guard found shot near the cowards room that the media had said nothing about.
The fake ass photoshopped pictures of the cowards supposed body and poorly staged weapons strewn about not help.
Enough with the bullshit conspicery theroies; let the investigation run its course and reveal the true facts.
All this bullshit on social media only serves to dishonor the dead and wounded and will over shadow the facts when they actually come out to the point no one will know what is true and not.
I have a Berea 380 and I love it. Easy to carry and shoots well too.
You will only confuse them with facts.
Journalists tend to be majors in arts and social(ist) studies.

This shooting incident DOESN’T jive….Our own government has lied to the citizenry! Its engaged in spying, and secret intelligence gather against the US citizenry in clear violation of the constitution…It just so convenient for statists, globalists, Liberals, and all manner of want-to-be Authoritarians in the name of public safety…To rush forth to abolish our US Constitutional-Bill of Rights…Over this incident….An incident that has more questions than answers….
remember that civil war we were talking about? is your powder dry?
Precisely. The same people marching in BLM protests who believe the police are racist murderers… also believe that the police are the only ones capable and trustworthy enough to have guns.
The term cognitive dissonance gets thrown around a lot these days, but that right there is a genuine example.
This, times a million.
The people calling for gun control are the fascists. If Trump calls for gun control they will readily accept him into their ranks.
If he does not, then we will have been right in electing him. If we were wrong……..
If the average leftist was logical and consistent, they would have a very hard time remaining an anti-gun leftist.
That right there is enough irrefutable logic to make a liberal’s head explode! Well done!
Bump fire stocks will be banned by the end of the month, I guarantee it.
I had never really worried about them being banned because I didn’t take them seriously as a viable tool for a combat room. I guess I was wrong..
You were right to start with. Those things are only useful against a large target that can’t shoot back or as a range toy.
Put an SA/DA trigger on it, and give it a double stack magazine…then you might just have something.
The number of weapons still baffles me. They were not all going to jam for good and/or overheat, were they? He couldn’t possibly count on using all of them? It almost looks as if he didn’t know how to swap empty magazines for full ones…. Bringing a rifle, a backup rifle and 21 other backup rifles is just strange.
My condolences to the families who lost the members, I hope this will not echo too much in our Czech lands….
If the Democrats in Congress want to outlaw something we need to demand something significant in return. If we let them have bumpfire stocks then the legislation needs to pull silencers off the NFA and we get National Reciprocity both. Demand asymmetrical negotiation from Republicans, never give up anything for a Democrat promise since their word is worth nothing.
Totally makes sense to anyone who appreciates freedom, and know what it is in terms of responsibilities, cost and risks. Liberal progressives are all about emotions, entitlement and abuse.
Pou pointed out the very real likelihood of explosives. It would also be a big tactical error if they had breached the door as you suggest, and triggered an explosive charge that blew a sizable chunk of the hotel into the crowd below.
While it doesn’t get much more High-Risk than this, the process is pretty straight forward. If suspect(s) are still firing you breach and engage in an active killer response scenario. If suspect(s) are not still firing, you establish a perimeter and treat the incident as a barricaded suspect scenario. If they start firing again, you breach and engage. There are more potential variables than most people can imagine. That is why we have to let the experts who are on the scene and actually have to go through that door decide the best course of action.
In my opinion, and based on the information provided in his comments, John Taylor was correct regarding his assessment of the Pulse incident. It doesn’t make much sense to back off once you have already engaged a suspect, but I wasn’t there.
However, as you pointed out, this incident is different and your opinion is neither correct or incorrect, it is simply another opinion. The course chosen by Vegas P.D. apparently did not result in anyone else being shot. That’s a limited WIN in a crappy game. They will dissect their decisions at length, prepare an AAR, and probably share it with other special response teams so that all may learn from this incident. Monday morning quarterbacking with limited information doesn’t seem very productive.
Second-guessing the police in a situation that has never happened and cannot be trained for is a mistake.
WOW….so many Expert SWAT Operator Monday morning quarterbacks, Ya’ll must be Tier 00 Super Secret Squirrel Operators!!
There are, IMHO, three primary rationales embedded in the Progressive/Socialist/Humanist/Liberal/Democrat agenda. 1) An abhorrence of the concept of God (Jesus! And, Judeo-Christian theology) 2) A desire for a Utopian-Humanist world order so intrinsic that the United States Constitution is anathema to their agenda.
3: Simple! When your ideology is so myopic and entrenched, and, you have no idea how to deal with EVIL–in fact, you refuse to recognize it even when you enable, fund, and promote it–there is no way for you/them to solve the problem. They subconsciously know this, so, they have to “virtue signal” SOMETHING! They cannot blame Human Nature, certain types of people (except for NRA), certain religions, ideologies, political forces (except for Conservative), the MSM, themselves, or, a Satan, who cannot possibly exist. They have to attack “the Gun.” And since they cannot seem to take the guns away from criminals and/or EVIL people, they must try to eliminate all guns.
That is why our Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment!
I was so impressed with Danielle Ortiz’s article that I’m rewarding her with a long weekend in an isolated country house with Harvey Weinstein.
