This image made me laugh.

It’s a Mossberg ad.

In FL, a move so keep 911 calls from being played in public.

Say you’re doing some rifle training. And your instructor is trying to make it all ‘real’. So, while you’re doing some shooting, he decides to fire off some (what I hope are) blanks near your head to ensure hearing damage and slaps you around for good measure. That looks really stupid.

First, he’s a left wing terrorist. Then, a right wing terrorist. Now, let’s blame weed.

Probably 105.

Taurus judge fanboys attack. Flamethrower? Really.

Bob Owens looks at ATF classifying airsoft guns as machine guns, such classification is both stupid and wrong. Past coverage here.

It’s apparently python season in Florida. No, really.

Update: Increased level of difficulty since no centerfire is allowed.

The meme: Pick one handgun, one rifle, and one shotgun. Ok. Here goes.

Handgun: Glock 17. Versatile. Reliable. Nice capacity. Easy to work on. Popular caliber. A definite winner.

Shotgun: Like Tam, I’m not much for shotguns. But I’d probably go with the Beretta Xtrema 2 due to it’s fast action and low recoil.

Rifle: Springfield M1 Scout. Respectable caliber for long range. Shorter size for closer range. Caliber is common as are parts.

Notice anything about that list? Probably not. But I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it. I own none of those guns. Not a single one. The reason is that the list tends to presume that one would pick a good all-around weapon for each category. But, fact is, one is likely not limited to one of each. I have a variety of rifles and handguns (and only a few old shotguns). And I would choose one based on which particular need that I have at a particular time. For instance, I generally carry a Glock 30. But when attire dictates something slimmer, I might grab the ParaUSA 1911 instead. If attire dictates shorts and a T-Shirt, it’s a Kel-Tec P3AT in the pocket.

For rifles, if I want something lightweight that I’ll have to lug around for a while, I’ll grab the 16 inch pencil-barreled AR-15. If I have a coyote problem, I’ll grab the suppressed Ruger 10/22 because the ‘yotes will run after the first shot if it’s not suppressed. With a suppressor, I can get off a second shot. If I’m shooting steel plates at 600 yards, I’ll grab the 18 inch 6.8SPC AR-15. If I want to annoy the macho men at the range, I’ll grab the pink AR-15.

Don’t limit yourself.

Political extremism: Not so easy to categorize

But three days ago:

John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?

The latter was also wrong.

It’s pointless to classify this stuff. The crazy happens to lefties, righties, and those who are politically indifferent. The recent outbreak of violence from the left is not indicative of a propensity to violence from those on the left. Same goes for right wing violence, which was the flavor last year.

Girl suspended for turning down drugs. Because she touched a pill.

A felony in Massachusetts.

69% say cities don’t have right to ban guns.

Libertarians grimace and say cities don’t have rights only powers.

Still, gun rights are polling well.

Heh.

Speaking of, several people have told me that the Protest Easy Guns facebook page is engaging in some Reasoned Discourse^tm.

A bit of a dust up over whether or not we should be nice to our political opponents. Some are for being nice. Some, not so much. Others think it’s a joke.

Joe notes being civil is the far better path. After all, look what our political opponents do.

Me? I will be polite, courteous, hold open doors for ladies, call people sir or ma’am. But I will work to destroy them politically. And smile the whole time I’m doing it.

Masked men rob the poker tour. First, they have machine guns. Then handguns and bombs. Now, knives. Caught on video too.

Update: Now, it’s machine guns, machetes, and grenades.

Especially when holstering.

And twirling guns is not smart.

Like intent, facts no longer matter in cases of law.

They have dick jokes.

Cookeville times announces gun show. Note the pic they use. Not sure if it’s someone with a sense of humor or not.
