Winning

Very cool:

In the October issue of “Writer’s Digest” magazine, the editor includes a concise sidebar piece explaining the differences between the revolver and the semi-automatic pistol. Now, stop right there and think about it: in a magazine written for authors of stories like Twilight and Harry Potter is a gun article called “Getting the Details Right.”

And don’t knock action movies. That’s where the ant-gun people get their ‘facts’.

Changing demographics of gun shows

Yeah, I’ve noticed a lot of more minorities and women at ours. Of course, some of that may have to do with the new owners telling the guy who shows up with the Nazi stuff to calm down.

Don’t want to chit chat with your TSA fondler

Well, you may get searched. Seems they’re employing ‘chatdowns’ to get you to admit you’re a terrorist. Or something. And it’s nice how the draw attention to and attempt to embarrass those that don’t want to comply.

Gun control lies

The latest!

The NYPD put holes in 9 people who didn’t have holes there before

So, let’s round it up:

Play by play analysis of the shooting.

Some questions for Bloomberg.

A recurring theme: Cops can’t shoot. Well, NYC cops anyway. Average citizen shoots a bystander 2% of the time. Cops 11%.

Meanwhile, Jay and Robb aren’t so quick to blame the shitty shooting in NY on shitty shooting. I’m not condemning them but saying the should train more and better. When you fire a gun, you own every round that comes out of it and are responsible for where it goes. If this had been a concealer carrier who negligently shot 9 bystanders, imagine how this story would be played out in the press.

Joe made a course to test how well people would do at a police qualifying course. It’s here.

Gun Cultures on The Hudson

And if it’s not capacity

It’s the size of the round. The NYT says the .45 is sooper dooper deadly.

Ok, then.

They’re not fixing the Serpa *wink*

But a look at Blackhawk’s new retention holster: The GripBrake. Well, that may be the name.

As Tom Givens likes to say “it’s just a pistol”

Concealed carry killers

Man with a gun and a carry permit saves a police officer:

According to Col. Greg Phares, “[Mr. Stevens] orders Mr. Temple to stop and get off the officer. The verbal commands are ignored and Mr. Stevens fires four shots, all of which struck Mr. Temple.”

Most pro-gun platform ever

From Republicans

A trend for this guy

If he fails, it’s always someone else’s fault.

What happens when you try to wipe out the gun culture

In NYC, all bystanders who were shot during the Empire State Building shooting were hit by police officers. When you do your best to get rid of the gun culture, it probably affects training since it is mostly a private enterprise. No market means no service. I can’t say I’m particularly surprised given their past instances of gun handling.

More from Tam, who says:

Come on, Bloomberg: Step in front of a camera and tell us how only the police have the training and professionalism to handle a pistol.

No, instead he’ll blame gun laws in other states.

Update: Calls for more gun control because of the cops. They finally admit it, I guess. Uhm, who’s going to do that training then, Sparky? And it’s amusing since he asserts that if more people were armed, more would have been shot. Well, I dunno. But I’m guessing your average CCWer can out shoot your average NYC cop.

Drug Test Joe Biden

Seriously. This man has been hit upside the head with a bat made of stupid or he’s on something. Or ill, I suppose. But his recent gaffes aren’t something we need in a man who is one heartbeat away from the presidency.

He’s my employee and I want him drug tested.

Does a flashlight really belong on your defensive handgun?

Well, does it?

Speaking of unpossible

13 people shot in 30 minute period in Chicago.

Multiple people shot near Empire State Building.

Some times, I love the local news

Actual Headline: Kingsport man discovers shooting bull with a .22 will only make it mad

Unpossible

These instances could not have happened because assault weapons are banned in Chicago, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

Keep your booger-hook off the bang-switch

Especially when holstering.

Here in my car

Interesting. Seems younger folks just aren’t buying cars due to the onerous restrictions on licensing. This could spell trouble for car makers. And, you know, doesn’t make me think we’re raising a generation of independent people.

In big government news

Chattanooga Doesn’t Trust Adults to Peddle You Across a Bridge in Enormous Tricycles. Seems the city regulated a pedicab company right out of business. You didn’t build that . . .

Paul Ryan, way to show your small government credibility by having TSA agents do security at your event.

Democrats and guns

Interesting stuff from this piece called What The Left Won’t Tell You About The Boom In U.S. Gun Sales: the number of Democratic households with firearms in their homes skyrocketed from 30 percent in 2009 to 40 percent today.

Excellent. It’s kind of like a summary of all of the We’re Winning posts.

Hey, there’s not been internet talk about OC in a while

So, here you go. And here you go again.

It’s this random crime again

Large group of people assaulting and robbing people. I tend to avoid large groups anyway. Not out of fear of violence but because large groups tend to be dumber than their dumbest member.

They only know the one song

A new anti-gun blog? That can only mean new Reasoned Discoursetm.

Smarter than their politicians

Chicago residents don’t blame guns for violence

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
