Of course, I agree with one fellow in the comments. Firearms are only as good as the person who owns them. If they’re never intended to be used as a guarantee against tyranny, you may as well not have them.
ARFCOM: He missed the boat on N.C. pistol repeal bill, which has already been vetoed by the Goober of N.C., Roy Cooper.
The man selling me the pistol puts his finger on a number in a box in the top upper left corner. That number is 2,657. It is 12:30 PM on a Tuesday.
“That’s the number of pistols sold and sent for background checks so far today in California.”
“Two thousand six hundred and fifty-seven guns sold today in California? Really?”
“It’ll be at least 5,000 by midnight tonight.”
“Really?”
“Really. We’ve been seeing between 5,000 and 6,000 a day since January. In California. Seven days a week.”
Ponder that one again. 5000 guns per day in California. Tens or hundreds of thousands more across this land. The gun control horse left the barn a very long time ago. They’ll never get it back in.
The gun of an Alaska state trooper shot while trying to serve an arrest warrant malfunctioned during the encounter, charging documents said.
The trooper underwent several surgeries after Monday’s shooting, according to an affidavit signed by an investigator for the agency, Timothy Cronin, the Anchorage Daily News reported on Wednesday.
The shooting happened outside of a general store in Anchor Point when trooper Bruce Brueggeman attempted to serve an arrest warrant to Bret Herrick, 60.
Herrick was arrested a day later near his home. He has been charged with attempted murder and first-degree assault in the shooting, and was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.
Alaska State Troopers are issued Glock 22s. Too bad he wasn’t using a 1911. My 1911s have never failed to function, not even once in thousands and thousands of rounds.
He raises a very interesting question at the end of the video that had not occurred to me when I first saw the stupid report. Point: virtually everything you see is staged propaganda, or has the high probability of being so.
We surely don’t want these weapons of war coming across the ocean like the disposed Afghans surely will and through the porous border. We need gun control – now!
Maybe this was all planned. Maybe somebody is trying to cover their tracks by handing over weapons technology that ultimately ends up in the hands of Iran, Pakistan and China.
Some of you will say “I told you so” concerning the brilliance of the 6.5 Grendel when we’ve discussed this in the past. But one nice thing about this cartridge is that an upper swap combined with another magazine gives you another rifle. Buying a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle, for example, means switching to a completely different rifle, i.e., an AR-10 rather than an AR-15, with all of its recoil, weight and nonstandard parts lists.
And finally, near the end of last year, Ryan Muckenhirn did a very good discussion of the cartridge.
Anyway, it seems like a good upper to have, as well as a legitimate White Tail cartridge. It didn’t seem to catch on as fast as the 6.5 Creedmoor, but it wasn’t a “flash in the pan” either.
If the other two goobers would shut up, this would have been an absolutely great video. I could listen to Ryan teach me for hours. The two goobers made it just a great video.
