There’s a lot of information in this short clip. For one thing, we get to watch an attractive woman espousing the pro-gun position. For another, it’s nice to see pissed-off antis turn on what Sean Hannity used to call The Anointed One. My main takeaway: God bless gridlock. The leftie on the right complains that the Prez didn’t get anything done on gun control in the 10 or 20 days after Newtown: “He should have just tucked it under his arm and got it done.” Fascist much? Whatever else you can say about our political system, sloth rocks.
I lived in Kennesaw until a bit over a year ago, and now live in an equally gun-friendly town nearby. A member of the local PD told me that they estimate that there are more guns than people in my county.
Strangely low crime rate ensues…
But how can you have a low crime rate without common-sense laws getting guns off the streets?!?!

don’t mention anything about bills until after they’re voted on. The democratic legislature in California pays its staff to infiltrate the Calguns forums. Bringing up questions or criticisms helps them write better anti-gun bills. Urge your representatives to vote no. Then fight in court if you have too.
I think it is a truly bad idea to suggest that gun-rights advocates should be silent in the face of this kind of garbage. Constituents need to know what is in the bill in order to constructively contact their representatives.
Furthermore, I’m not sure I follow the logic in this comment. How does this criticism help them write a better bill?

Honestly, I’d say to ignore the laws and carry the biggest gun you can. In fact, let’s have every owner of a modern sporting rifle load up a standard mag or two and meet up to walk on state capitals? Not shoot anyone, but merely show how many of us there are.
While it may be coercive (in the very mildest sense), it actually resembles a constitutional exercise of power, like what can be found in Art. I of the U.S. Constitution, giving Congress power to organize and maintain the militia. Such was also the case in the original colonies and state militia acts.
Government isn’t always evil. There are some things it should do and some things it should not do. In recent years it has done little it should do and much that it shouldn’t. See for example all the federal money spent on studying duck genitals while DHS lets drug cartels run our southern border. Anyway, I could live with this kind of government.
“they don’t need 30 magazine bullet chambers” – What does that even mean?
That the person talking doesn’t know a damn thing about guns and thus is completely unqualified to have any input on gun laws.
If only that were the way politics worked, we might not be in this mess in the first place.
beat me to it!
It’s not just “do something.” The point is “do something THAT WORKS.” It’s such a simple concept, yet large swaths of the population continue to “demand a plan”, even though the plan they subscribe to (blindly) only works in the land of unicorns and rainbow farts. Oh, if it was only that simple…
Oh wow! Thanks for much for putting my letter up!
I do see that you guys changed some wording a little. Ha ha! Not that I mind. 🙂
Overall I was disappointed with how Hershel portrayed what Carl did when he spoke to Rick later, it was pretty damn obvious the kid didn’t drop the stupid shotgun.
When I was watching the episode, the first thing that came to my mind was Carl taking hold of the shotgun and the kid tugging on it or something, to pull Carl off-balance or make an attempt to grab him.
Good God, how many times can we listen to this crap? Over and over and over…
They’re hoping that you give up in disgust and quit listening. That’s when you get bent over.
It is painful to listen to ignorant people with an agenda. They sound so ignorant when they speak that I just can’t take them seriously.
While I fully support manufacturers picking up and moving out, I’m not sure how I feel about this.
One of the things that this blog has spoken about frequently, is how the loss of a shooting tradition and culture in blue-states has accelerated the erosion of gun rights in those places. Doesn’t this merely accelerate that?
Chill out, y’all. Passage of anything by the U. N.’s General Assembly doesn’t mean squat. It’s passage by the Security Council that will set off alarm bells, but that would require that none of the countries that benefit from the arms trade, like the U. S., Russia, and China, not veto it, and perhaps I’m being over-optimistic, but I suspect that at least tweo of those countries will veto. And even the U. N. Arms Treaty passes unanimously, in order for it to be binding on this country it would still have to be ratified by the U. S. Senate, which will likely never happen. But as other posters to this site have pointed out, if the Treaty is fully passed by the U. N., then certain conventional weapons manufactured in foreign countries, like the Norinco offerings from China, are likely to become unavailable or prohibitively expensive, and many enterprising souls will grow wealthy smuggling guns and running a black market in firearms.

I left that channel a decade ago. I see it hasn’t changed much. I guess that’s why they do so well in the ratings.
awesome. I’m finding some other place to go ski next year.
Have two standard carbines,one for me the other for my wife,we love them.have a few 25round mags to go with them,one of the best guns of all time,great fun,great hunter,probably would be good for defense too.It is just hard to find .22 lr right now,maybe after the gun laws get kicked out it won’t be so scarce.Keep your powder dry.
I’d use this to put the meat goats down… A utility tool.
As a Colorado resident, gun owner, and supporter of the second amendment I’m glad they canceled. I hope every single business in the industry cuts off the state completely until we repeal these BS laws. They just barely passed in the first place so if we can get just a small handful of 2A supporters in office in 2014 we can get the laws removed and a boycott of the state will help do that.
What clip? Not even a trace of it, which is unusual in the extreme.
Add all the redacted stories recently, and I gotta wonder…
Hey RF, WTF?
It’s at the top of the page, just underneath the date. Perhaps try a different browser.
Yeah, nothing – even in “view source.”
This site sometimes fu<ks with mobiles, although usually not this badly; they must've buggered the server again.
At least omments work; I'll try from my desk on the morrow.
Boycott the whole state buy no hunting, fishing licenses, dont go camping and dont buy a permit, dont renew your boat license and hit the fish and game or whatever they are called there in the ass. Put them in the unemployment line and the state can kiss our American asses.
Mine like the ones out there has a lot of growing pains. An upgrade came from USFA however still isses. Like a lot of upstart new guns.
Gotta chime in on the SSRIs. MDs learn too much about the serotonergic pathways from big pharma. These drugs treat serotonin deficiencies by reducing the reuptake of serotonin, thereby allowing it to act longer. Another way to do this is by producing more serotonin. A simple amino acid supplement, 5-htp, does this without the massive crazy side effects of, for example, increased risk of suicidal tendencies. The reason this is not prescribed? Because it is a natural amino acid extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant, ie not patentable.
As a neuroscientist, all the talk of mental health is disturbing. We still have no clue as to the causes, treatment, and/or cures for mental illness. The brain is remarkably plastic (flexible) and finds ways to reroute processing when certain regions are deficit. It also rewires itself as necessary. This is true for diseases and during short bouts of stress.
Ask an MD about treatment for stress-induced disorders and you will get a generality that fits right in with bipolar and mood disorders. Why? Because they are all serotonergic systems. The treatment? SSRIs.
Going down the line of mental health means anyone with stress (pretty much all of us) are ripe to develop “mood disorders” and are potential candidates for mental health treatment.
Dont vote libtard (democrat) ANYMORE. Hopefully the lesson was learned, at great loss of freedom to many states.
A locked cabinet with a few revolvers in it, with the keys around the necks of a couple school officials who are interested in, and moderately trained in their use.
End of problem.
when i was a teenager i wore camo literally *everywhere*(even to a couple of weddings and funerals!). fortunately i grew out of it, and nowadays the only camo i really wear is in inclement weather(rain coat and winter hat/boots). if course, i would probably wear it more often if i could actually find some that was affordable and would fit.
well ive been in for about 5 rotations of afgan and garison and ive used both mags
ive had issues with niether the topic on hand is about the pmag being baned due to what … a procured weapon system that costs millions of dollars in development and it not being compatible with it, thats all it should be centered around after numerous combat tours ive found that when enough moon dust gets on my gear and rifle nither like to work.
Tom Sowell is my hero.
I moved from CT to PA 5 years ago. Born and raised in CT yet I will never make it my home ever again. It is a shame to see what those a$$hats are doing to the state.
She came armed with facts and presented them in a calm,
logical process. She must be stopped. Cue the hate mail.
Optics are optics. Bent light is bent light. Woooooo.
I ask you whats positive having obama at your facility? He is not an honorable man.
Hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to brand name loyalty. Not a single person could get by in today’s world without having at least a handful of products that are made by companies that do something against their own morals. Your camera manufacturer makes rifle scopes. Your favorite soda company supports gay rights. Your favorite clothing brand utilizes child labor. Your favorite make-up manufacturer uses animal product that goes against your vegan lifestyle.
Get over it. Stand up for what you believe and if you really want to boycott something then go ahead. But don’t be surprised you’re not living the innocent life and every brand your loyal to doesn’t side with your politics and beliefs 100%.
By the way, why is this shocking to the same people that say hunters are OK guys anyway? Don’t they know hunters use scopes to help them kill their cute animals?
