The mentally ill woman that murdered children this week in a Christian school was probably bullied, absolutely indoctrinated in violence by the announcement of a Day of Vengeance, and probably, religious hatred,... although her manifesto explaining her reasons to murder little children may be censored to hide the names of her inspiration. Like Congresscritter Bowman. Angry liars are still liars. | |||

Don't forget Hanoi Jane telling everyone on the View a week or so ago, to MURDER anyone who opposed abortion... (also known as Christians). | |||

I sold the kid's 223 bolt gun so we've kicked off project super Mosin scout AND getting a 20" Maverick 88 defense shotgun. I'm trying to find another cheap Mossberg youth stock in wood without any luck. The Mossy 500 I rescued is going to be off'd as a gunsmith special. People are asking way too much for the barrel and I can't find anyone to do a high temp solder gunsmithing repair. It has a broken barrel lug. I just did a carbine course with my 9mm SBR as I didn't want to shoot a bunch of 5.56. Despite a cheap red dot, abrupt recoil impulse, and a mil spec trigger (everyone else had multi thousand dollar rigs) it did quite well. | |||

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2023/04 /18/atf-director-cant-define-assault-weapon-becaus e-hes-not-a-firearms-expert-n2622094 The Wikipedia entry on Assault Weapons has been purged of the name of the activist who coined the term and it's actual meaning. "A scary name for anything we want, to fool the masses into letting us take their rights and property." The truth was there until evil men replaced it with lies. Sums up the whole anti civil rights movement. | |||

http://web.archive.org/web/20180302231835/https:// en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon In 2013, The Washington Post, looking into the history of the term, wrote of the term: (quote)Many attribute its popularization to a 1988 paper written by gun-control activist and Violence Policy Center founder Josh Sugarmann and the later reaction to the Cleveland School massacre in Stockton, California, in January 1989.(unquote) Sugarmann had written(colon) Assault weapons, just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms, are a new topic. The weapons menacing looks, coupled with the publics confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons, anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun, can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons. | |||

The lies are systemic, organized and deliberate. Handgun Control, now the Brady Exploit a crippled guy to take your rights organizations ( they split to better launder the money and avoid lawsuits ) PUBLISHED their strategy to take away your rights. Short form, give a vaguely defined class of objects a scary name, get them banned, move to next scary name lie. Lather, rinse, repeat. Their book listed the planned scary name classes. | |||

Well with the CCP already establishing "police stations" here in the USA, and announcing domestically that they are bracing for war and telling their citizens which groups will likely be the first to get drafted...I'm willing to bet all our "evil" guns will make us into saviors and Very Special People, when the attacks start. They can kiss my ass. I'll defend myself, and my loved ones. Defend the Left, though? Nope. Cannon Fodder. Buh. Bye. | |||

Defeat us on the battle field, but invade the home land ? NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Oh on fox news earlier Chinese men of military age were spotted at the southern border ! crop land being bought, food processing plants being purchased by Chinese concerns. ( or being destroyed ) about 10 in the last year or so. PAY ATTENTION. FJB and the dimocraps. On a side note on Utube I saw an add for a petition for banning "assault weapons" the person had lost a child at sandy hook. And as typical spouted the same left wing lunacy today people were killed in car crashes so lets take every ones cars, that will solve the problem.  | |||

Expand the focus to the worst 2 percent (62 counties), and these accounted for more than half (56 percent) of U.S. murders in 2020. https://instapundit.com/578694/ | |||

few people can envision a practical use for these weapons. Except the owners of the 20 million AR's. (Message edited by ducbsa on April 19, 2023) | |||

PAY ATTENTION. Unfortunately, many don't. And, we don't teach it anymore. Shame. | |||

AR's are boring.  Decades ago a noted criminologist believed that the instant media notoriety would put these mass public shootings on the rise. We've learned nothing. | |||

I reluctantly did a carbine course with my 9mm SBR the other day. In my stubborn way, I chose to hold the rifle for five hours instead of slinging it in "patrol" fashion. My off hand has an arthritically flared up finger that would come to give credence to the term "sausage finger." I chose this rifle as I didn't want to eat up that much 5.56. It has a mil spec trigger, heavy ten inch match barrel giving it a 7-1/2lb unloaded weight, and a cheap red dot. The trigger required a little more concentration and the more abrupt recoil impulse of the blowback nine meant that the few shots I took where I was lazy on the cheek weld I definitely felt. This rifle rewards good form and technique. A loose hold and cheek weld beat me up to a surprising degree the couple of shots that I took that way. Anyway, my cheap SMG wanna be scored a perfect score in the test portion and the instructor noted that I was the only person that ever properly recited the semiautomatic stages of operation. My gun had one round that refused to chamber fully which then stuck, causing a double feed in the proceeding malfunction drill...requiring some remedial action. One of the guys pried it out with a key. It was Winchester steel case...and not the gun's fault. It's the first problem of any kind this rifle has had in function. When cleaning the gun I found a roll pin had walked that holds a piece of tungsten weight in the bolt. I banged it flush and green loctited it in. All in all, it was a good refresher and I caught myself being lazy in malfunction drills...as I've never had a mag that wasn't fully seated...so I wasn't tapping the mag to ensure that it is fully seated and I was only tugging the mag to make sure when initially loading. Never say never, I guess. My rifle was also about 1/3 the price of the other rigs that shooters showed up with. | |||

I'm not a firearm Expert. Enthusiast, mechanical geek, precision machinist, toolmaker, yes. Many years a Quality Control Expert. Specifically in machining type operations, but I can do assembly ops & sequencing analysis, and have. Any gun can be broken by enough G loads. You can break the sear connection or firing pin block it you hit it hard enough. Generally in modern guns you have to hit so hard it breaks other things, like stocks or frames, it takes excessive force. But excessive force... Happens. I recall Ruger chose to use a titanium firing pin on their 1911 clone. The logic, well tested in real drop tests, is that the lighter firing pin can't get enough inertia to fire the cartridge in their testing, which went well beyond normal limits. But... If you drop one off the Empire State building, and it lands muzzle down at exactly 90 degrees, it's possible to get enough energy to go off. The good news is, if it lands on your head instead of concrete, it probably won't. Your head is soft enough it won't decelerate the gun sharply enough to have the firing pin detonate a cartridge. The bad news is your head splashed bystanders with gore, and you probably won't survive it. If you have a recalled SIG, get it modified, it will actually be a tiny bit safer. Speaking of safety. S$%& happens. I appreciate the mea culpa here! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YDuoj7KR-CA | |||

And speaking of accidental discharge from drops, this rifle takes a slick approach by balancing the trigger. And it's a very nifty rifle for other reasons. | |||

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/reason-no-27-not -to-buy-a-smart-gun/ Wasn't it 90 odd years ago, or 120? That the French military decided that accidental discharges were less dangerous than pulling the trigger in combat and the rifle not work. No manual safeties allowed on French bolt action rifles for generations. A century or so ago, the French military chose to carry rifles with chambers empty, and only load on command. This worked with their top down decision process, and the now common cartridge guns, that no longer required loading powder and ball from the muzzle in ranks. I'm in a similar mindset on smart guns. I don't want my tools to chose to work, or not, independent of me. I still want my choices on loading, safety, and firing to be the only intelligence involved. I believe a smart enough tool can be trained to not shoot without orders, no matter what the Baldwin shooting lawyers think. But I don't trust it to obey me when I make the life changing decision to defend against deadly force. Grip, thumb, magazine safeties are jammable mechanical features you can argue about. You can choose to use or disable them. I'm sure in the last century & a half+ we've had grip safeties there's tons of written arguments about them alone, I've read them for at least half a century. But giving the battery powered computer in a gun control of it's use? Nope. Nyet. Nada. I spent hours, just yesterday, charging the 5 batteries mounted on my tricycle, and shopped for helmets I have to recharge to run lights and headsets. 4 of those batteries independently run lights for safety. One let's me ride further and faster. I'm sure Someone will comment that if you can remember to load a gun, you can remember to charge it. Or If you remember to check the chamber, you can remember to check the battery. I point out the many people who shoot themselves and others with "empty guns" and point out perfection is divine, not human. | |||

...and even if you charge it, what about when the battery no longer holds a charge? A la iPhone "planned obsolescence"? I have a non-rechargeable laser on my EDC Hellcat. I test it every time I holster the gun in the morning. When I practice, I'll run a mag using the laser to make sure it's holding zero. I practice more with iron sights, just because they don't use a battery and they are ALWAYS going to be there. Which reminds me, I need to get irons for my AR, as a backup to the red dot... | |||

Oh, you'll use voice recognition! But to be sure you have the right emphasis/timbre, you have to program your pistol while a street gang threatens to murder your family. The code phrase will be fixed to eliminate error, so you must memorize a dirty limerick. And hope external noise, like the rioters screaming, doesn't obscure your chant. "Mary had a little Ram it's fleece was white as snow. And everywhere he mounted her, his ##$% was good to go" Which might just scare away your attacker as you desperately scream it over and over again to turn the light on your gun from blue to red. ( while you wish you'd RTFM lately so you remember what that means! ) | |||

I kinda like the 45 deg backup irons for ARs. Just tilt the gun to use. Anyone try those? | |||

I prefer to stick with irons. They work no matter how many years the weapon has been stored/cached. |
