Time and Space

The Law to tax and register Assault Rifles was passed in 1934.

The first Assault Rifle was invented in 1942.

Hmmmmmmmm...

AR vs AK... I say AK wins (Update CNN/ AR /Shotgun)

Northcoast I

 Northcoast II

Edit: Wait till CNN learns of the AK-47 Shotgun (this one is in .410). It is doubly ironic that the Saiga was configured for importation to comply with the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.

Hold my Beer and Watch This

From Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy.

First several times I watched this I thought there was a cameraman downrange (at 6:40). 

I was about to get all outraged on the internet, but taking one last look it seems like Larry takes several steps behind the firing line that the cameraman is standing on. Or is he? 

Here is another video from behind the line.  Looks to me like the cameramen are a few steps in front of the firing line. Okay one step for the cameraman on the left.

The cameraman on the right? If he was on the line wouldn't he be "in the shot" around 6:29? (First vid.)

Now I'm too confused to be outraged. Help me out here...

Side note: never heard of Dragon Man before. Looks like he hosts an annual machine gun shoot.

What is the gun at 4:17? Looks like a Tommy Gun but it is a side cocker.

OK googled up the M1 and M1A1.

I like the MG vids more than the TV show.

Stupid Drug Dealers

For the record.

If you are a member of an international criminal organization that receives large shipments of chemicals from China.

Cocaine shipments from Columbia.

And Heroin shipments from Afghanistan.

You would have to be a special kind of idiot to cross the US border in order to buy a semi-automatic rifle at retail prices, when any of your trading partners could easily toss in a few crates of fully automatic weapons as a cherry on top of your black market sundae.

Or maybe the DOJ thinks we are dumb enough to believe that the Drug Cartels are that stupid.

Great Minds

Apparently Lynn C. Thompson is also a fan of the 6" Glock and extra long magazines.

I'm just going to throw this raw red meat out for you wolves to tear apart.

This is Andrew Traver

John Richardson over at No Lawyers Only Guns and Money has this video of Andrew Traver demonstrating the kind of judgement it take to be the potential leader of that merry band of clown-shoed thugs and stumblebums at BATFE.***

John rightly takes issue with Traver handing an assault rifle to a reporter and letting them shoot up the countryside (literally).

But this is also the classic gun control bait and switch, in which they show you video of a fully automatic assault rifle while they push for laws controlling semi-automatic "assault weapons."

Assault rifle is a term that has meaning to military logistics. While "assault weapon" is a term of political art. The latter was coined to muddy the waters of the gun control debate.

This kind of fake story is old hat in the gun control play book, Just ask 

Wayne LaPierre.

I also need to throw flags on the claims made in the video about body armor and ballistics testing.

7.62x39 Russian will most definitely cut through a Level II (and IIIA) vest but that is because these vests are made to stop handgun rounds.  These are typical of the concealed body armor you can't see the police wearing under their uniforms. 

Level III and IV body armor worn over the uniform by SWAT and military personnel are made to stop rifle rounds, and have done the job many times.

As to ballistics testing it can not "lead you to a gun dealer" as the video claims. That is what the serial number can do.

*** Thanks to Gay Cynic for that line.

Edit: I should have known Tam was the patient zero of snark.

Death to all water barrels

If this has made the rounds before I missed it.

I like the full-auto tests. My mantra is anything worth shooting is worth shooting a lot.

Love, love, love the car door test.

Black Sunday

Almost ran out the clock.

Had dinner with my dad.  Asked our server if he liked Sunday's.

He gave me the right answer and very quickly. Made me smile (an evil knowing smile).
