Federal to start making 6.8 ammo

Gun safety rules apply to nail guns too.

A bit back, TN passed a law saying that guns seized by police could not be destroyed. The idea, I guess, being that the police would then sell them to law abiding citizens. Well, McMinn county just auctioned off 445 confiscated guns. Local progressive contingent seems upset at the lawful transfer of firearms.

Why would someone ban possession of body armor?

Is anyone?

Just go tell them you’re Eric Holder.

Water purification system that uses iodine and, well, iodine might be used for meth. So, the .gov shuts them down.

Overinflating your tires is dangerous and you shouldn’t do it.

Right here. Author thinks it’s a squib, I think. I can’t tell.

Bill Cosby has had a permit to carry a gun in NYC.

So, a couple of white guys went on a shooting spree in a black neighborhood. And a Black Panther makes threats toward honkeys and ‘these pink people’. Calls for a day of action on April 9, which is today.

Oh, Bill Cosby.

Why the Glock and not the M&P?

Not sure that the M&P is inherently less accurate. I’m leaning toward it being that people who find them less accurate are used to shooting Glocks. I’m less accurate with my M&P than with my Glock but when LaughingDog shot it, it was a ringer.

Meanwhile, why the M&P?

I bought my second M&P Saturday. I picked up the M&P 9C just before buy a gun day, figuring I needed a match to go with the full size. The C is somewhere between a Glock 26 and 19 in terms of size. Seems S&W took the things folks complained about in Glocks and ‘fixed’ them for lack of a better word. For instance, the grip angle is more 1911 than Glock and they put real, non plastic sights on them. The trigger on the M&P is very meh. It’s smoother than a Glock out of the box but it has no reset. So, everyone puts the Apex RAM in them it seems. S&W should just contract with Apex and install them at the factory.

I think both Glocks and M&Ps are fine carry guns and I carry and shoot both.

Surgery bans elderly patient over her carbon footprint

An elderly woman was ordered to find a new GP because the “carbon footprint” of her two-mile round trips to the surgery where she had been treated for 30 years was too large.

It’s coinciding with the increase in gun ownership. A couple of articles lament why. First up is politics and fear from the Martin fallout. In Washington, looks like it’s a cut in police dollars.

Looks like an M&P, with no rails. Pocket 9 sized. Maybe even single stack. Called it.

Gun and ammo shortage coming soon? Talked to some folk in the ammo biz last week who said it was hard to keep certain popular calibers in stock. Not sure if it’s the election, politics, or the press and their talk of race wars. But something is up.
