Ninth Stage

Not Really.
At The Stuffiness Host, Jayne Lyn Stahl backs away from her recent vilifying of NRA members and then charges back in against the vast right-wing gun lobby*, with vigor.
Generalizing from her “feelings”, she puts the language of the left where our constitutionally protected civil right to arms should be.
Increasingly, in a world in which [...]

Here.
All this, says Richard Feldman, a former NRA insider and gun lobbyist, is bad news for an organisation that likes nothing better than a fight. Confrontation enables the NRA to engage in “financial bloodsucking” of its members and to make “deceitful appeals” for cash.
Mr Feldman, who is public enemy number one for the NRA, has [...]

Earlier this month I pointed out Mark Schronce’s 3/4″ record 600 yard group.  Mark set a short lived record.
Bob Hoppe is the new record holder, his 37/64″ group (humor me with my fractions) was shot with a 6mm Dasher (6BR with the shoulder blown forward).
Congratulations to Bob Hoppe!

Chicks with Cannons.
Babes with Bazookas.
Girls with Guns.
Pin-ups with Pistols.
Women with Weapons.
Most agree, pink is the new black.
Gander Mountain, in an effort to market firearms to women, is expanding its offering of pink-hued guns.

Las Vegas police add video cameras to their Tasers.  I’m all in favor of videotaping the police but I do not think cameras on guns are appropriate.  If an officer wants to document someones behavior that’s great, but he shouldn’t have to point a weapon to do it.
And I predict that these videos will be [...]

Disarm the police to save The Childrenâ„¢.
Criminals are going after cops — for their guns.
In the past year, gang members, thieves and drug dealers in Palm Beach County have broken into at least six police cars and stolen handguns and shotguns, officials say.
…
Despite the risk, criminals are hitting police cruisers in South Florida and across [...]

Uncle points to punt gun pics and video.
It’s the same video that Xavier found last July but the pics are new (to me).

TSA drone breaks this guy’s laptop and the supervising TSA goon says move on or you’ll be arrested.
I start heading over to my laptop and belongings, and the TSA security guard was pushing my stuff to the end of the line. I approached the end of the line to collect my stuff as the TSA [...]

Old Painless takes the Taurus Judge .410/.45 LC pistol to the Woodshed o’ Truth.  How well did you think a 2-1/2″ .410 Shotshell would do out of a revolver?

Tracy Schario, spokeswoman for George Washington University in Washington, D.C. said, “We do not allow weapons on campus for the safety and security of our student body and faculty.”
I keep reading statements like this and they never sound complete. They’re leaving off the reasons they do allow guns on campus, “We only allow weapons [...]

I’m firing AT&T and looking for suggestions for a new phone company.
VoIP or twisted pair are fine, I’m not too choosy.  Right now I’m leaning towards Cordia’s VoIP service.  Good?  Bad? Alternatives?

Here’s a little secret the NRA doesn’t want you to know: Most gun owners are almost never inconvenienced by gun laws. That’s because most people who buy guns do not do it on a whim. A waiting period or one gun a month is only a problem for people who want a gun immediately.
Wrong!  It [...]

Chicago students pledge to be gun “virgins”.
Thousands of Chicago students made a pledge Wednesday not to use guns.[I]t’s part of the 12th Annual National Day of Concern to encourage children to reject violence.
Officers of Wood District in the West Town neighborhood read to students and talked to kids about gun safety.
They say they want children [...]

Comments should be working again.  They were out for 12 hours or so ending around 10:00 today.

The South Park Pundit is facing the flames in San Diego County.  Wish him luck.

Jane’s reports on a cool idea for accessorized ARs, powered Picatinny (maybe) rails.
A leading member of a NATO Research and Technology study team has laid out future possibilities for the standardisation of small arms, including the use of electrified power rails for accessories and sensors.
…
NATO is therefore looking to replace the batteries of individual sensors [...]

NRA Video about UK gun ban schemes and a warning about our possible future:

Found here.

Jessie Abbate wins top ladies honor in the USPSA multi-gun championship. She is only one of the many hot women competing in the action sports today. I’d like to see more of them.
Jessie is a member of Team Glock. I’d also like to see the shotgun and rifle she used.

You’ve got to keep hammering them, otherwise it’s all VPC talking points.  In a letter to the editor:
Another term that is frequently used is “assault weapon.” As most any item can be used to perpetrate assault, the phrase “assault weapon” is meaningless and is merely a catchall term to cover guns that politicians fear will [...]

The Trainer promotes a heresy against the AR15/M16 class of weapons.
“In the end, it is clear to any open minded inquirer that the Mosin Nagant is the most superior weapon of all time, but the AR and the AK come out as a draw when compared side by side.”
