Political correctness causes shooting:

The two suspects in this downtown shooting have been arrested 44 times with 20 convictions and 21 times with 15 convictions. Marquise Tolbert, the one with 20 convictions, had three felonies last year alone. You tell me how someone with three felonies in 2019 is walking around free and able to engage in a shootout that kills a woman and injures a bunch of other people, including a 9-year-old kid. Both Tolbert and William Tolliver, the other suspect, are just 24 years old. They both have previously been arrested and charged with drive-by shootings and unlawful possession of a firearm in 2018. So the courts knew full well that these were gun-toting gang members. Why did our justice system let them walk free? Why do we place criminals above law-abiding citizens?

A second amendment victory: IL Supreme Court: Misdemeanor convictions shouldn’t preclude gun ownership forever

He’d kind of disappeared for a while. But he has returned to saying dumb things. Apparently, gun control was invented centuries ago by trans-gendered people. Or something.

FedScoop:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is nearing a milestone of closing its last remaining data center and moving all of its data and applications to the cloud.

By the end of the fiscal year, ATF wants to have all of its users transitioned over to a new commercial cloud environment and plans to close down the data center and repurpose it for office space, bureau CTO Mason McDaniel told FedScoop.

What could possibly go wrong?

NJT: The time to prep is not DURING the panic.

I too noticed that Amazon was out earlier in the week. It became an issue for me because I used all of mine up cleaning up fire extinguisher media. Ordinarily, I keep a box or two at the house. It’s not too late. I noticed today that the local Lowe’s had cases of them. I guess people go to Amazon first.

The Daily Mail: Prince Charles flew 16,000 miles in just 11 days using three private jets and one helicopter before proudly posing with Greta Thunberg in Davos

Hypocritical environmentalist is the new normal.

And another: CNN’s Don Lemon and guests mock Trump supporters as uneducated and illiterate

The dumbest man on TV, who once asked if a black hole sucked up a missing plane, is making fun of the ignorant? For the record, the reporter was the one who couldn’t identify Ukraine on a map. Lemon’s lack of self awareness isn’t new.

And, lastly:

Didn't your garbage network just settle a nine-figure lawsuit for defaming a Catholic child at a pro-life march? https://t.co/C5iToustQA

Kriss USA Vector in .22 LR. I’d like it to have more than 10+1 capacity though.

Building a FrankenGlock:

It’s sized like a G19. Next one should go much smoother. I had several work stoppages because I didn’t order a part. This also probably cost me a bit more than it should have just due to the shipping. Live and learn.

I may have just grabbed a Zev OZ9C instead but the C wasn’t out when I ordered the parts.

Brownells has released the BRN-180. Essentially, it eliminates need for a buffer tube when paired with the BRN upper receiver.

From Jay at Shooting Illustrated. They keep coming out with new OZ9s. Maybe I should have waited. Nah.

Mentioned earlier they were making Glock frames. Turns out, they’re making their own handgun that takes Glock magazines and is compatible with certain Glock parts. The trigger housing pin appears to be in the wrong spot so I’m guessing just the connector and trigger bar when it comes to triggers. Oh, and it’s under $300.

If it’s remotely reliable, they will sell a ton.

The lady sniper credited with 309 kills.

Rudy Giuliani plans to dump dirt on the corruption of the Bidens. I think you’re supposed to wait until he wins the primary.

The 3 biggest stories in America that the media wont report:

I can think of several more, such as weaponizing the IRS, the Biden’s in Ukraine, and Weinstein’s relationship with prominent Dems.

In Florida, all the global warming made it cold. So, iguanas are falling from the trees.

The concept of having a lever gun in the same caliber as a revolver is appealing. This looks like a good choice for lever actions.

Laugo Arms Alien Pistol, the lowest bore axis in the world. Looks like it’d save wear and tear on an optic too.

AOC kinda went away. Or, rather, the coverage of her was lessened. But she, sadly, came back into the spotlight saying her usual dumb things. This time:

“Why were there almost no police officers despite protesters flying confederate flags and [carrying] semiautamtic weapons?

Because gun owners aren’t inherently prone to start riots, unlike ANTIFA or the White Supremacists. Also, in all the coverage of the rally that I have seen, I have yet to see a confederate flag. Wouldn’t surprise me if one was there but I haven’t seen one much less multiple flags.

I’m not there but stuff I’ve found interesting:

Palmetto State Armory is now making Glock frames.

Coverage from arfcom.

Shooting Illustrated’s coverage. I suppose it was a matter of time before someone put a pistol brace on a long range rifle. I like it.

Teaser from Brownells. Anyone know what the pistol caliber carbine is?

Integrally suppressed Kel Tec Sub 2000.

Most of my reading today had to do with the VA rally. But SHOT is kicking off and, with that, some new products:

Some cool looking AR type things.

Performance Center M&P2.0s.

Sig p210 carry

The rally went off without issue. Media hardest hit. Even when an alleged “infiltrator” tries to kick off the violence.

A telling thing in the pictures here and here. Positive interactions with the police. Didn’t see any antifa guys doing that.

Speaking of, sheriffs showed up to protest for the good guys.

And so much for all the racists that were going to be there.

And Google being evil as it pulls livestreams of the event. The revolution will be livestreamed but Google won’t let you see it.
