A sniper with Canadas elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,540 metres.

O Canada.

The officer was found not guilty. It looked pretty cut and dry to me that the cop was out of line. But jurors tend not to convict cops. Meanwhile, Reason.com claims that the NRA is shunning the second amendment martyr. I’m with JT on this: I am the NRA.

The NRA is being quite because the folks it caters to aren’t big on cop bashing, justified or otherwise. It’s simply a losing move to hitch their wagon to a BLM slant. Not that that’s what they’d do but that’s how some of the members would react. I’d bet money on that.

A burglar shot by his partner in crime:

Young was trying to carry out a big screen TV and dropped it when the woman yelled at the men and they started to run.

The other man fired a gun back toward the house and hit Young, Davis said.

I knew that the overdose situation was getting dire, but according to a spot I just caught on Today, Ohio is apparently on pace for ten thousand overdose deaths this year.

Wow. Kind of puts the alleged specter of gun violence into perspective.

Because of new Russia sanctions:

It appears the U.S. Department Of Treasury has updated the sanction list in connection to the Russian Ukranian conflict, and as a result, VEPR rifles and shotguns have been added to the banned list.

From their course registration:

*NOTE: NRA Carry Guard Level One is designed for training with a semi-automatic handgun (Glock 19/17, Sig P226/P228 or equivalent). We will not allow revolvers or 1911s as your primary firearm in this class.

But they’re OK with it as a secondary:

You should bring a secondary firearm that you carry concealed, as well as a holster for such. We will run the course with a primary carry weapon and then run a course of fire with a secondary or back-up gun to evaluate the differences. Please bring at least 40 rounds of ammo appropriate for your carry firearm for this portion of the class. Revolvers, 1911s and/or subcompacts can be used for this portion of the class.

Just kidding. The narrative is the same.

After a newsworthy shooting, the press often reports that the gun was an AR, AK, or assault rifle. Much like they did with yesterday’s shooting. Turns out, not so much:

In Belleville, Hodgkinson had purchased at least three guns, all from a local gun dealer, and had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, a source said. Among those three guns was an SKS assault rifle, the source said.

An SKS is an assault rifle? It’s as much an assault rifle as it is an assault pistol.

Assault pistol.

Sebastian: This isnt a good situation to be in. It was assassinations that brought us the Gun Control Act of 1968.

Yeah, it’s not good for the gun rights side after this.

I’m a fan of chef knives. I really like the Wusthof 8 inch variant. But for only $30, Amazon has this AUGYMER 8 inch. So, I snatched one up because one is none and two is one or something.

For the price, it’s definitely comparable quality. And weighted just as well. And the wooden handle is nice,

Joe predicted it, the violent left. We have an aging Sanders supporter going up and asking congressmen if they were democrat or republican. After affirming they were republican, he grabbed a rifle and started firing. Fortunately, he was engaged by capitol police, who killed him. Classic good guy with a gun scenario.

The violent rhetoric and hysteria from the left may be to blame. But I thought it was us right wing nut jobs who shot up people we don’t like.
