The internet likes gun pictures, right?

This makes me smile.

1902 Colt
 It is shaped like a brick. It has no safety. It is in a minor caliber. It is everything 1911 owners say they hate.

R.I.P.O.F.F.

"Ballistic gel test of the G2 Research R.I.P. "Radically Invasive Projectile" in 9mm."




 I'll say I do find the better mousetrap alluring, but in the Guns and Ammo game you are better off not being an early adopter.

Tip of the hat to Rusty Shackleford off Facebook.

Daystate

What did you get to shoot today?






The Daystate CR-X Air Rifle

The gun I shot was in .22 and shooting moving targets (gallery style) at 35 yards was almost boring.




IIRC the scope was a 10x50x 60 Sightron with side focus.

I got to say it was a good day.

Edit: here is an ad for the Caldwell Shooting Gallery.

It's good to have another song

It's called...

Just a Girl (with my AR-15)

FIRST DRAFT

See a pink rifle I might buy
Lies exposed
No big Media Surprise
They don't think I know
Exactly how to stand
And shoot a gun
Exactly like a man


'Cause I'm just a girl, with my AR-15
I don't want no shotgun for this fight
I'm just a girl, no rape whistle for me
So don't let me have any rights

Joe… I've had it up to here

The moment you hear someone outside
Shoot at the door
Is very bad advice
Can't defend the life that I hold so dear
Without my carry gun
That you fear
 

'Cause I'm just a girl, with my AR-15
Won't walk with a group
Late at night
I'm just a girl, Guess my Kung Fu is weak

'Cause 300 pound Linebackers
I can't fight

I'm just a girl,
On myself I won't pee
Just your typical stupid advice

Joe… I've had it up to here

Shall… not be infringed… Clear?

I'm just girl
I'm not a victim of the world
That's all that you'll let me be!
I'm just a girl, forced to be gun free
Your laws are dumb
Makes me worry some

I'm just a girl, want my weaponry
I won't succumb to attacks on person…
I'm just a girl, with technology
I won't become meat for Attila's huns
I'm just a girl, I'm not a sheep
Best defense I'll use more than shotguns

Joe… I've had it up to!
Joe… I won't obey you!
Joe… I've had it up to here...



...

My first song

Why Breda is not a sheep

This song is for her (and all the other chicks with guns.)

This Is My Rifle

My rifle and my cousin


There are many like it but this rifle is mine.

It is a Ruger 10/22 my dad gave me when I was 16 years old.

Would a "universal background check" make it illegal to give a gun to a child or other family member?

1976

I have lived in Kentucky almost my whole life. My folks moved here before my first birthday.

Before that they lived in Dodge City, Kansas the place I was born.


I recently found this photo which was taken in Dodge City in 1976.





The other thing I have from Dodge City that came from 1976... The Ruger Mark I my father bought there.

What is funny is that I had the gun for several years before I noticed the writing on the top.


MADE IN THE 200TH YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY

Black (Gun) Friday

Black Friday 2011 set the record for background checks for gun sales (NICS), a record that stood for one year until Black Friday 2012.

From NSSF:
The November 2012 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,525,177 is an increase of 38.5 percent over the NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,101,076 in November 2011. For comparison, the unadjusted November 2012 NICS figure of 1,997,703 reflects a 30.8 percent increase from the unadjusted NICS figure of 1,527,454 in November 2011.


And from Emily Miller on Fox News.


I have my own theory as to why... politics and the election aside, the economy sucks, people are broke and guns were on sale at Walmart.

In fact this is my old theory from last year. From my own research (note: I haven't done any research) at my local Walmart, they began selling long gun again in 2011 after they had been removed for several years. 

I have not found much online about Walmart's gun sales. This WSJ poll is the best information I have found.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is quietly bringing back rifles, shotguns and ammunition to hundreds of U.S. stores as the struggling retail giant seeks to reinvigorate its one-stop shopping appeal and lure more male customers. The world's largest retailer stopped selling hunting rifles and bullets at all but a third of its U.S. stores five years ago, citing diminishing sales. It is now restoring them to hundreds of locations, bringing the total to nearly half of its more than 3,600 U.S. namesake stores, as part of a larger push to restore "heritage categories" of merchandise such as fishing rods and bolts of sewing fabric that it removed in an attempt to go upscale that backfired.
 This year I noted several of the large sporting good chains also ran Black Friday ads for guns at sale prices.

I myself have never bought a gun a at Walmart; I try to support local gun shops, I have bought lots of ammo there. I don't view Walmart as the evil empire. and in the long run it may help the case for gun rights...  After all an "Assault Weapon" can not be much more "in common use" If you can buy it with your groceries.
