Well, and a Obama talk too.

Student shot at school. Then the shooter was apprehended by a school resource officer within minutes.

Obama’s claims to go skeet shooting all the time, probably bogus.

Constitutionally protected. What, are you supposed to remove the guns when you open a beer?

1/4 prisoners in the world are in the US. Mostly drug criminals.

It’s also the cause of gun violence.

There actually is truth to the assertion that more violent crime, particularly shootings, occurs when it’s warmer. Check out Chicago murder rate by month.

Ok. Or you could use a gun.

Two-thirds of gun owners would defy gun laws

It’s OK for Diane Feinstein and David Gregory to break gun laws to further their political agendas. However, pro-gun republicans were barred from bringing in props to counter that hysteria.

So, there’s this website called EyeHandy, in which they post video how-tos for things that are handy. Only, the videos feature half naked women doing everything from soldering to tying a bow tie*.

They did a video of field stripping an AR-15.

* No one should wear a bow-tie. Ever.

Also, Wayne, just answer the questions.

Several of my non-gunny friends in the real world say to me “hey, Uncle, I need a handgun before they’re banned. What do you suggest?” I note that they don’t currently own guns yet have a fear they will be banned so they want one. Which is weird because the press tells me they only want to ban those evil assault rifles, whatever those are.

My answer is always the same. Either a Glock 26, Glock 19, Glock 17, S&W M&P 9, or S&W M&P 9C. All the guns are 9mm. 9mm is a perfectly adequate cartridge. It’s also easier to find and less expensive, in general . . . but not this week. Guns that shoot 9mm hold more rounds and the quickest way to double the effectiveness of your carry ammo is a follow up shot, which they have lots of, compared to 45s. And I just don’t dig the .40, especially for new shooters. The second issue is that of size. This combination runs the gamut from borderline pocket pistol up to full size duty gun. That’s just preference based on attire and method of carry and so forth. Or if they’re going to carry at all. For a nightstand gun, there’s no reason not to have full sized pistol, other than small hands. And, lastly, grip angle. Some people just don’t dig the Glock’s grip angle and some people love it.

Then, I tell them to go try them out and see which one works best.

YMMV.

Flame on.

Update: Also, all these pistols are striker fired. That’s merely for consistency of trigger pull. When you’re a newbie, consistency is likely a good thing. And no manual safeties. Is gun, is not safe. And better to let them learn good habits instead of relying on a a false sense of security.

CT Legislators Declare War on Second Amendment

Father of slain child says that gun laws are not the problem.

The press manufactures a controversy stating that gun advocates heckled the parent of a dead child for calling for gun control. Only, the heckling didn’t happen the MSNBC said it did.

A handy infographic of banned features. Because if you take those off a gun, then it’s totally safe.

NY doesn’t even know what it’s banning. Well, when people who want to get rid of shoulder things that go up make laws, this happens.
