The CEO of X-Products James Malarkey (his real last name) in a recent rant on Facebook laid out his plan to reduce gun violence. He says a lot so let me give you some go the highlights, if that’s the right word.
Been an active member of the gun industry for the last 13 years, manufacturing, and delivering through my companies over $20,000 million (not sure what that number is) in gun parts and accessories over that time.
We should have access to everything the infantry uses and that no-one should know what you own.
So far so good. We have an industry partner that thinks civilians should have access to infantry weaponry, someone buy this man a beer. I don’t know what $20,000 million means but lets assume that was a typo.
I also believe gun ownership is a privilege.
To borrow a line the internet once said, “That escalated quickly” With that one line he really messed up and probably bankrupted his $20,000 million (sic) company. Privilege is the key word here, Mr. Malarkey rights are not a privilege, they are rights.
While referring to mass shootings Mr. Malarkey (again that’s his real name) says “There is a solution, and I do believe I know an answer that works for both parties.” I assume he means Democrat and Republican, because these sure wouldn’t fly with a Libertarian or any member of any party that believes the Government should not be in the business of regulating rights.
Mr. Malarkey continues by saying “My thoughts and opinions do not reflect that of my companies.” That doesn’t sound like good leadership to me. That’s like the owner of a steak house supporting PETA.
My philosophy is simple, if you have nothing to hide then why be concerned, everyone in this country should be given an equal right to own whatever they want, however there should be a regimented, well regulated structure on how you should achieve those rights.” Wow, I have a feeling I am preaching to the choir here but I am gonna do it anyway. The right to bear arms is the only right we have to ask permission to exercise, Mr. Malarkey wants to make it harder to exercise your rights.
So what’s the Malarkey plan to end mass shootings? He wants a licensing system to own firearms. He compares it to renewing a drivers license. “Formalize the process to ownership, qualify, validate, and renew just like a driver’s license, or dive certificate. Yep he compares the right to bear arms with scuba diving certifications.
So whats the Malarky plan look like?
- License 1 (Yellow Badge)
- Hunting and Firearms safety training would be required to hunt with your family.
- A licensed instructor with mental health awareness would send red flags which would require further evaluation.
- If a kid goes hunting with his Father’s gun without a “Yellow Badge” the father gets in trouble
- Having this license for two years would be required before someone (lets call them Ivan) could even own a firearm.
- License 2 (Orange Badge)
- More training would be required
- Barrel lengths and magazine capacity limits for people with this badge
- You can build a gun yourself
- All sales through a licensed dealer
- You are required to have the badge for two years before you can get the Purple Badge
- License 3 (Purple Badge)
- So after 4 years of training you can buy a pistol!
- Unlimited magazine capacity
- Renew every 5 years
- Oh and more training
- License 4 (Green Badge)
- $500 every 5 years
- A Credit Check, Yep seriously a freakin credit check to bad of me as I pay cash for every thing and don’t have credit cards.
- Access to NFA items without the paperwork
- License 5 (Gold Badge)
- Another criminal and mental background check
- Training on munitions safety, kill radius, explosive disposal
- Access to explosive rounds
So there you have it, the Malarkey licensing process. (Please excuse the wording it sounds better in Russian.)
Another requirement is that all sales go through a licensed dealer. According to Mr. Malarkey “Its a pain in the ass but it does work and keeps guns out of the hands of criminals” no it doesn’t, it only makes it harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their rights.
Another requirement is that all weapons be stored in safes.
Just when you thought Mr. Malarkey couldn’t have any more good ideas he comes up with this little gem . . .
If someone access your weapon/s and its used in a crime and they didn’t have to break into your safe to get them, then that should make you liable/partly liable for for the crime committed with the firearm.
Let that sink in for a minute. If someone breaks into your house an steals a gun without having to break into a safe and kills someone you can be held liable or partly liable for the murder.
Mr. Malarkey goes on “I know this is tough love but fuck me running you will definitely be locking your shit up or be using biometric scanners if its mandatory”
So there you have it Comrade Malarkey’s plan for to stop gun violence. To sum it up make it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase guns.
Mr. Malarkey’s company X-products quickly removed the above Facebook posts and disassociated themselves from their leader’s views: “We understand the response to Mr Malarkey’s comments. As such he DOES NOT reflect the views of X Products, it’s staff, or industry partners.
The man himself posted a retraction on their Instagram page (as above).
In the retraction Mr. Malarkey had this to say, “I also believe that if we continue to ignore these issues, legislatures will draft laws that are unfavorable to the 2A community.”
First of all suggesting that we are ignoring this issues is ridiculous, secondly the changes Mr. Malarkey are suggesting are unfavorable to the 2A community.
Before you judge the authenticity of his retraction, check out what his not better half does in her free time. This past year she created a fundraiser of Everytown for Gun safety. Yep the group that wants to greatly restrict American’s rights. “Their mission means a lot to me” is exactly what she said.
Just as the gun rights “mission” means a lot to us.
Well, glad I don’t own any of his products, and never will. Hope he enjoys watching his company go down in flames.
This sucks, I’d been planning on buying one of their can cannons.
That idea’s out the window now.
See Mr. Malarkey, here in the capitalist world we vote with out dollars and this is my vote. Piss off.
I’m not down with his suggestion but I have to admit it’s a hell of a lot better than most gun control proposals.
I mean, with the right badge he thinks you should be able to own a missile launcher. I say fuck the badge but hey, like I said, better than most proposals.
I agree with strych9.
“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges”
For that matter, we don’t need no stinking X-Products.
Of course party members will be exempt.
Government required Yellow badges once marked 6,000,000 people for death.
Under Marlarkey’s system you would be eligible to acquire the following firearms:
— all Fudd guns up to and including 18 years old
— semi-auto rifles with magazine capacity limits ages 19 and 20 years old
— semi-auto everything and unlimited magazine capacity upon reaching 21 years old
— all NFA items (including full auto) upon reaching 23 years old
— explosive munitions upon reaching 28 years old
The only fee that he mentioned was a one-time $500 fee if you apply for the explosive munitions license at 28 years old.
I could support the age/ownership levels if we get to eliminate NFA 1934, GCA 1968, Hughes Amendment 1986, and get nationwide concealed/open carry. I do not support any fees beyond $10 for the licenses.
What I cannot support are forcing all transfers through licensed dealers. There are just too many ways to make that process onerous, expensive, abusive, and exclusive. On the plus side, he suggested that you could build your own firearms from kits without going through an FFL.
Forcing everyone to keep everything in safes is cost prohibitive for many people so I do not support that.
Ohh special badges you say… would they have to be worn on the breast? Perhaps I can get mine in a red triangle? We all know what color and shape these socialists have reserved to our editor here.
The problem with all these licensing schemes is they are too easily turned into gun denial schemes.
Who’s to say the licensing office is only located in the state capitol and is only open from 9-11 AM every Tuesday?
Oh hell no.
… what?
If this gun is not accurate then how can $1147 be justified??? Big deal what its made of!? Make some parts out of polymer and lower the price. How can you give good marks for the sites when in your article you said they were bad? This gun is no better than a Hi point let me change that at least a Hi point is accurate! Maybe this gun should be priced along the lines of a Hi point? BTW if anyone wants agun with a low bore axis buy a Chiappa Rino
Is this guy really just a russian bot?
Or is he is a russian troll?
He sure in hell doesn’t sound like an American who understands or respects the Second Amendment.
“I think I’ve detected a flaw in this ‘let’s stop [murderers] with gun control’ plan. What if the [murderer] is willing to break gun laws?” — Frank Fleming
Russian collusion?
Wow, just wow. Many thanks to TTAG for making me aware of this. I will NEVER buy any products by X-Products (whoever they are). I don’t care how many retractions they issue. What Mr. Malarkey proposed is worse than some of the gun control regimes in Europe, for God’s sake. Malarkey indeed.
He seems semi-literate at best. And weird and flakey and prone to saying very silly things. I’m not sure how he managed to build a $20,000 million company, but I suspect it’ll soon be a case of ‘easy come – easy go’.
“.. if you have nothing to hide then why be concerned”
No.
Having nothing to hide is very different from being asked to show all you’ve got.
As to the rest of that word-soup…. No and Off. Just add an F-bomb in front of each and it becomes a complete sentence.
His company fu*king makes HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES!! This dumb sh*t supports every town while making 20,000 million(?) off selling 60 and 100 round drum magazines for “”assault type rifles””. I would say he’s the biggest hypocrite ever but he fits right in with the Uber rich west coast liberals. Comrade Malarkey is one of many useful idiots who think when their Bolshevik revolution comes to fruition they will be one of the privileged ruling class. Sorry Comrade, somehow I doubt the commies will look favorably upon a man who made 20,000 million (?) selling high capacity magazines to civilians without a special badge and a credit check…
Three words, one term President.
Hard to fault Nugent. CNN’s Cuomo pushed lousy article about buying an AR from an FFL with no ID or background check. Hey, if there are no rules, then there are no rules.
Speaking as representative of the Bear family; we have another side to the story.
Our Dad, BJ Bear was a good bear. He was never in any gang and was simply trying to offer these humans a bottle of Coca Cola! Everybody knows we bears love Coke! BJ used to do many ads for the Coca Cola corporation. Now he sees some thirsty strangers and goes to offer them free 2 litters of Cherry Coke. Next thing, we hear shooting & Bj is dead.
We will demand justice!! Stop slandering BJ Bear’s good name. Bear lives matter!!!!
Stupid kid. Was he “making a statement” by shooting himself at school? Or was he planning an attack and then backed out?
X-Products, Springfield, Rock River…
Truly statements full of Malarky! Might I suggest that the rest of the people who have a vested interest in X-Products immediately find a way to remove Mr. Malarky from his vested interests in said company. As far as X-Products, I have never purchased products from them, and after reading Mr. Malarky’s Malarky, I seriously doubt that I ever will. Mr. Malarky…..you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I wonder if they’re related…..

Interesting that they downplay the ARs being carried by deputies as single shot rifles not fully automatic. They do note they carry the same rifle as the murderer. Hmmmm thought those rifles were evil.
The mention there was an armed deputy when the murdering took place. They dont say where in the hell he was and why he didnt shoot the murderer.
They also state that only deputies “certified” with the AR will be allowed to carry one. Sounds like they are making the case for “special” training to use a rifle. Kind of a flip from the 90s gun control crowd that wanted special training for handguns.

I don’t subscribe to the survivors being actors but they are being used by others whose interests are not aligned with theirs or anyone elses.
Some serious coin was spent to quickly bus those kids to the state capitol for the photo op. And we know who likes making grand statements in this arena.
I will choose Free Will. 🙂
Anyone see Trump’s comments on gun free zones?
I’ve never heard of X products. But their Facebook page is awesome (and features Alex Zedra among others). Their product line is pretty unique, so I’m guessing they’ll be OK and will recover from this CEO screw up since people still want 100 rd. drum mags and FLAME THROWERS!
Its FAKEBOOK guy and it’s irrelevant.
The list of gun ( or related) companies I will never do business with just got one bigger
x-products
rock river arms
springfield armory
cheaper than dirt
There was one other one but I haven’t bought anything from them in so long their names
escapes me right now.
What is wrong with Rock River, Springfield and Cheaper Than Dirt? Do they have a anti 2A position or is quality or other issue?
After Newtown CTD cancelled orders for thirty round magazines to ensure their stock then raised their prices to outrageous levels. A PMag was going for a hundred dollars on their site.
RRA and SA collaborated with the IL state government to achieve a carve out and then they supported a scheme to introduce a state FFL and manufacturers licensing process. Their wholly owned state lobbyist also had made financial contributions to anti- gun democrats.
Thank you for the info.
Very short and dirty:
Rock River and Springfield financially supported anti 2a dem politicians and through their lobbying agent agreed to not fight an anti 2a bill in Illinois if they were cut out of it.
CTD acted lower than dirt during Sandy Hook panic. Canceled confirmed orders of standard capacity magazines, semi auto rifles, returned money, claimed they are out of them. Then re-posted the same magazines for 500% price.
You forgot Dick’s Sporting Goods for not selling MSRs after Newtown and Troy for hiring Jody Weis and Lon Horiuchi.
“…And the worst fact of all: that killing machines like AR-15s are sold in regular stores, that anyone can buy them, and our government refuses to enact the laws that would protect our children from them. That random gun violence happens not infrequently, but all the time.”
Ummm…. No. Just very much no. You should probably give up your child because you aren’t capable of raising them.
This is how school shooters are made. “the feeling of power they get from murdering real human beings.” Let’s hope this kid is never feeling powerless after learning this sort of crap from his mom. Also, did anyone ever get a “feeling of power” while playing with toy guns as a kid? I didn’t.

That’s one name I can scratch off my list.
The idea is absolutely ridiculous and silly!
they’re trying to figure out how to give away our basic rights so they can still party in the swamp, but still take our membership money.
That was exactly 5 years ago. Idiocy has not been able to take complete hold.
“And when [my young son] asks me to explain [why bad things happen in the world], I will not know what to say.”
How about saying something like, “Mommy is a child in an adult’s body and will have to find a bona-fide grown-up to explain this to you.”
Just paint all rifles white then claim reverse racism when they try to ban those too.
Time to pull this one out again:

Law enforcement can track their shots. OK that was sixteen in the hood of the squad car, four in a dog, twelve in the trash dumpster, ricochet off the tricycle, and one in my foot.
When are the dumb asses going to understand NO GUN LAW KEEPS GUNS FROM CRIMINALS , their criminals because they break the law. Locks keep honest people honest. Sometimes I’d just like to beat the shit out of these Gun laws prevent crimes advocates, frickin idiots
It sounds like Momma Malarkey has cut him off until he can prove to her that he supports her leftist ideals, that way she can take her rightful seat at the garden club and join all the other dizzy bitches watching the Kardashian reruns and blowing smoke up each others asses.
” And when he asks me to explain it, I will not know what to say.”
Perhaps that you are a Leftist Moron.
What an ignorant and idiotic proposal!
It’s shocking that someone in the industry is so poorly informed and unfamiliar with the policy debate. It is also truly bizarre that a drum mag maker would arbitrarily volunteer up this unprovoked incoherence so deserving of ridicule.
If his goal was to make sure gun owners are aware “malarkey” is synonymous with “nonsense”, he did a great job.
Magpul D60s are significantly lighter and more reliable than even the skeletonized X15 drum and hold 10 more rounds, all for significantly less than half the price.
Hopefully, Magpul will release a 7.62×51/.308 drum to go ahead and push X-Products into the annals of obsolescence and bankruptcy.
Did they take down the FB page? Must have burned up…
Hello! Everyone stop with the emotional outburst. Let’s lool at reality.
The NRA does not exist to win every battle, it is here to win the war. If ithe NRA would have charged into this issue while the leftist media was spinning the emotions of the country, would their message be heard? The answer is a complete no. In reality, the left will take small snippets of the NRAs message, taking it completely out of context, and in the end, make the NRA look horrible. Just like any organization like the NRA, they make mistakes, but this is not a mistake. Sure, the enemy of the 2nd amendment is marching onto the field with great fanfare, and you want to fight them. The left wants you to make emotional, uncoordinated attacks because that thins your resources. A smart general knows that this is about the long game. This is about logistics. It is about how to position and use resources to win the entire war, not to waste resources at every skirmish. This is a game of chess, not checkers. Some times, you lose a few pawns, but your goal should be to take your opponents king.
We should never forget that any systems designed as a reasonable compromise will in time morph into systems of oppression.
In the system he laid out, I see the potential for removal of those badges by future politicians, When the next tragedy occurs. Additionally, I could see onerous fees being tacked on to deprive the common lowly citizens of their rights. The latter has been on the left’s agenda for a while already (e.g. increasing NFA fees to account for inflation, and requiring liability insurance to own a gun).
We must remain vigilant and wary in any compromises. No own goals please.
Things feel different this time. The lefties and their scumbag friends in the media are going to push hard. Sending checks to the NRA and mailing congress critters isn’t going to cut it. I hear a lot of people complain about what the NRA is or isn’t doing. The fact of the matter is the NRA, or GOA, or any other gun rights organization isn’t magic. We can’t just join, send our money and expect a panacea. Some people treat this as if they’re hiring a plumber to plunge the gun control turd out of their plumbing and they can go back to sitting on the couch while it gets sorted out.
I think this time around gun owners need to figure out the ground game. The lefties are good at getting people in the streets, it’s time for us to get good at it as well. It’s my hope that the NRA makes this part of their strategy. Unfortunately, I think the NRA has become very Washington focused and simply do what they know; congressional and media weasels. If an established organization doesn’t step forward, all of us need to think about what we can do to organize locally. There are a lot of us, and we need to get off the couch and put our numbers to work.
There are several scope mounts for AR 15 and this scope mounts to mount the scope at an offset angle to allow clearance for large objective lenses. I would recommend a number that are good for AR15
Nikon Two Piece Rings
High Profile ArmourTac 30mm Scope Mount
Flat Top Offset One Piece QD Scope Mount with Quick Release Cam Locks 1913 Picatinny Rails
TMS Flat Top 1 Piece Ring Mount Picatinny Rails.
That is my list of AR-15 scopes mounts I would consider buying.
As I explained to my sole libtard friend (who I did manage to get out to the range and have him shoot an A R15 and a .308), the 5.56 round was designed to kill coyotes, not humans. It was employed as a battle rif le because they thought it was advantageous to wound enemy soldiers instead of killing them.
I think this incident shows once again how weak and anemic pistol rounds really are. Any bear shot in the neck with a high power rifle bullet would have died instantly.
You’re the most ignorant human being that’s ever posted here.
We should take your advice, why?
Meant for cisco.
I hurt for the victims and want safety for the kids, but its dam hard to watch victims being used and fed lies by the Left.
It was on CNN or MSNBC, doing live interviews by the school, they interviewed the wrong student, he said something like “I blame the shooter not the gun”…reporter with fake smile and on to next interview…
So Hypothetically lets say the NRA entered the media ring right away and debated them all and won.
How would the public see that?
We always complain when the media doesn’t wait long enough.
Some pro gun students from the school have went on You Tube claiming they didn’t go on the bus trip to the capital because CNN edited there speeches and they were denied to say things like armed veterans could help prevent this from happening again.
The medias true agenda, Gun Control not Safety will become more and more obvious to the public.
So I’m guessing soon the NRA will start going public and fight for the Long Game
All that is needed is to repeal the gun free zone clause. No one needs this “highly trained, gun savvy” bullshit. Just the fact that there could be armed resistance, whether their actually is, is enough to dissuade these pukes. The rest is just security theater. I think it is a good idea to provide training for the personnel willing to carry but making a big show of it is nothing but an attempt to mollify the sheep.
The New York Times is absolutely wrong about what they said about the AR-15 platform. The AR-15 / M16 was designed as a force multiplier. That’s why Eugene Stoner went with the 223 Remington cartridge to begin with. In the past 30 caliber rifles were used with full battle rifle cartridges. These tend to straight up kill the enemy soldier. If you kill an enemy soldier there’s no need for anyone to come and help him or try to end they’re suffering. This type of weapons system will cause one person to be injured and require one or more soldiers to remove that injured person from the battlefield and then treat him medically and so on. This requires the enemy combatants to put out much more money and Manpower on their side of the battlefield. So you see in fact the AR-15 was designed to maim and wound not kill. If you look at how many people were shot in Florida and killed compared to how many were shot and wounded requiring medical attention immediately it’s not even close comparison. And as usual the New York Times and its liberal Progressive globalist socialist Marxist BS is going to give you a whole big helping scoop of BS!
I like the ARs without a forward-assist. Gives it an infinitely cleaner look.
That target looks lije scumbag steve ha ha
As a teen I suffered the loss of several close friends from car accidents,some that were due to recklessness and negligence, and some that were simply due to inexperience or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I still remember these friends and can’t help but wonder what the world would have been like if they had lived.
What is interesting is that at no time was there a public outcry for the banning of cars or even the banning of the alcohol that was an integral factor in at least some of these deaths .
I am simply amazed that the socialist media has moved so quickly to harness the grief and sorrow of these kids and parents. They truly are not willing to let any crisis go to waste to achieve their ends.
At this time it is most important for us as freedom loving Americans to keep our heads and separate the true need to protect our kids from the socialist agenda.The second amendment is necessary to provide for the continued freedom of our nation, the freedom that millions of Americans have suffered and died to maintain.
A European socialist once stated:
“This year,for the first time in history,a civilized nation has established gun registration.Our streets will be safer,our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future”
That was Adolf Hitler in 1935. Many millions of helpless disarmed people were later to die at the hands of him and his minions.
As it is said in Israel: NEVER AGAIN!!
As for the kids that are heartbroken: grieve,as I have done,look for rational solutions to our issues.
But also be warned: You will NOT get our guns!
No argument there. It’s for good reason the anti-poaching program in Texas is called Operation Game Thief.
Call 1-800-792-4263 to rat a game thief out.

I cannot believe how shortsighted you people are.
This is the whole ballgame right here. This is the invasion into enemy lines. This is how you win the culture war.
Sure, 95% of teachers will be opposed to teacher carry; only 5% of Americans concealed carry at all. But if 5% of teachers/administrators carry… and we get them in schools… and nothing bad happens, then it starts to spread. Just like concealed carry did.
I will absolutely-damn-guarantee you that if a school shooting happens, and the 95% know which of their colleagues has a gun, they’ll be running to him or her for protection.
And once that happens, that is when “gun normalization” can occur. It ain’t never gonna happen with Chipotle Ninjas scaring the hell out of people, but it WILL happen when people see the actual results and that there’s nothing to be afraid of. The first time a concealed carrier stops a school shooter, is the day the 2A crowd wins once and for all.
This is the whole ballgame, right here. This is what we elected Trump for. And if we have to give up (on a temporary basis) some useless bump stock or raising the age to 21 for long guns in order to get it through, then so be it.
This proposal is the very definition of WINNING.
And yes I said “temporary”. Remember when concealed carry was banned everywhere, and then freedom spread across the country? Remember when campus carry was banned everywhere, and now it’s starting to spread? Remember when “assault weapons” were banned in the entire country, and then — they weren’t, and the AR15 became “America’s Rifle”?
Win the culture war, and the details will come. Lose the culture war, and you lose everything. Trump is doing the right thing. Defeating GFZs cuts the anti’s (theoretical) balls off. Add Trump’s GFZ proposal to national reciprocity and it’ll be the biggest gun rights win since the adoption of the 2nd Amendment.
I’m pretty sure 18 years of age is already the minimum to purchase a long gun, maybe not federally but certainly in every state I’ve been in. In the military,18 year olds are already shooting real assault weapons, fully automatic rifles. Yea, they are under supervision during training, but not nearly so much during war. I think they can generally handle semi autos.
I dunno just how seriously I can take a guy named, “Leghorn!’
“That’s the potential of the rifle. There’s nothing out there that’ll compare to it as to doing what it was designed to do, and that’s kill people.”
I seem to remember something about, what was it now? Oh yeah, ALL guns are dangerous and can kill. That’s why we have the four rules. And yeah, the camel’s nose analogy fits, since ALL guns are designed to kill. They wouldn’t be terribly useful (or so popular for so many years) unless they did. Doh.
To me their are two kinds of poachers, ones who do it to eat, and ones that do it for the ” horns” the latter are deplorable, the former are hunters whom cannot afford to pay the price to hunt. My family was as poor as poor could be, we couldn’t afford a to pay the price for 70 lbs of deer meat so as a child I poached, on private land and public, was taught how to hide our trot lines underwater, walk backwards when going in a hunting area to throw off the game wardens. Learned to shoot once and only once to keep from being marked, no big guns .22 and get close. Leave no footprints and many other tricks. Not only was I the hunter, but I was also the hunted. Ironically, my oldest son is a game warden now, and the stuff I taught him about poaching has really helped him in catching poachers. Lol.. BE IT KNOWN, I hunt for food, there’s noway in hell I’m paying $750 to shoot a turkey. These Big Money hunting clubs can kiss my ass, THE KINGS GAME, indeed. The closest I’ve ever been to getting caught was guys on horses, they just about had me, I swum a river, I ll be damned they did too. They couldn’t make it up the clay bank though, and once I got in the heavy timber they didn’t have a chance. Damn that was fun. I’m to old for that shit now, but it sure was fun
The Hogg kid may not be a crisis actor or a shill. He certainly does have a Jessie Jackson like ability to find a news camera and get in front of it!
The problem is that elections are won and lost by independent voters. Pretty obvious that moderates are tired of hearing about mass shootings, they don’t really know much about firearms and semi auto rifles and pistols are used in many of them. When they get to the point that they are willing to try anything, they will start to vote 2A supporters out of office. If gun owners and our organizations are seen as uncompromising, we will eventually see another useless “assault weapons” ban. I think the NRA and GOA have missed some opportunities to start some of these dialogues in the periods between some of these shootings. Immediately after, people are stressed, tempers flare and the good old NRA demons are in everyone’s cross hairs. I find it curious that not one person protested outside an FBI building. They really screwed the pooch on this one but the NRA gets all of the blame.
The 12 gauge autoloader. The .45 longslide with laser sighting…
Get rid of the teachers unions, pass vouchers, build the walls. Liberals will never win another election.
AR are good at their job? I want 5 !
I’m thinking of getting the new ruger security 9 as my new carry piece.
