Yeah CSGV is indeed unhappy that Obama hasn’t banned guns or restricted rights. But here’s a bigger question: Who do you think Ladd and the other Joyce Stooges going to vote for in November?
Personally I think they know that the 2nd Amendment is a born loser, and by politically repugnant groups like his attacking him, they’re raising Obama’s stock for the 2012 election.
What do you think?
The US Commerce Secretary has been charged with a Felony!
Bryson was treated at the scene by Los Angeles County firefighters. Authorities said drugs or alcohol do not appear to have played a role in the crash. They said Bryson was cooperative. He was cited for felony hit and run but was not booked into jail because he had been admitted to the hospital. His condition was not known.
Really strange case, but he’s about to join the other convicted felons in the Obama Cabinet. Its almost a requirement. Certainly your conviction record MUST look really good on your resume to the President.
I wonder what the anti-freedom goons would seek to ban…
A British man was crushed to death while attempting to lift weights in his garage.
Chris Bailey, 28, decided to go for a workout Saturday after going out drinking with his landlord until 3:00am local time in Brighton, southeastern England, the Brighton Argus reported.
Landlord Oliver Steel, 57, found his body in the garage later that day after he woke up to find the front door open.
All serious weight lifters always keep a spotter handy for just this case. They also lift sober…but alcohol does WONDERS for your judgement!
So do we ban weights? (in a world where the anti-freedom types are also trying to save us from our own fat midriffs?) Do we have another go at Prohibition of alcohol? (despite the massive death toll that created)
Or maybe we just except stupid people will do stupid things, and sometimes stupidity is just fatal?
Or maybe we should just ignore this and focus on “Gun Death”! YEAH that’s the ticket!

The Wife and I just saw it at the IMax. We both loved it.
Amazingly enough it is both an Alien origin story as well as a completely fresh Sci-fi story.
It tells the full story of the Derelict craft on LV426 and tells us where the Aliens came from….but it answers these questions with more questions.
It also LOOKED really good both with the huge screen, as well as the 3D which was never overbearing. Just everything had a tangible texture and depth. Add that to being three stories tall, that’s a special slice of awesome.
Add to it that I’ve been a hardcore Alien fan since my parents would let me watch such “Scary” things, and I’m in heaven!
Took Jay and Sci-Fi to yon local range for some well needed recoil therapy.
The star of the show was of course the Kriss
The ergonomics are fantastic, controls are all where they should be (including a left-hand charging handle), and while our range was limited, the gun put the rounds right where we wanted them. The recoil on the gun kinda weirded me out. First you might note that the stock seemed a bit short for me so I made my cheek weld right at the “hinge” for the “folding stock” (because folding stocks would be evil in Mass the hinge was welded in this unit so the stock is fixed) but because of the unique action of this gun the gun recoils UP. I’m sure this is the berries in full-auto
But in semi it felt like the jun was throwing jabs at my cheek, for what is a mild cartridge in the first place. I did adjust my cheek weld a little further back and found it to be pleasant. Still since a .45 ACP carbine doesn’t really fit into any useful box I can think of (especially with the price of the Kriss!), it didn’t thrill me too much. Doesn’t make it a bad gun, it really isn’t, and that also doesn’t make it overpriced, it seems like you get a lot of gun for your money. Just not my speed.
This is my speed!
My FAL, it is my most favorite rifle! We gave it some abuse today too! GOOD TIMES!
Also I was amused by the few tiny pistols we had.
From Clockwise at 12:00 is Jay’s SIG P250 in compact form, my Radom P64 and Eleanor. The two plastic guns are in .45 ACP, the steel gun is in 9×18. We all know my love for the PM45, and there is no finer pocket .45 in the world in my books.
Still I was really impressed with the P250 compact. Its a little bigger than the PM45 in every dimension, but it uses the increased with to slightly stagger the magazines. I should have snapped a picture, but my 5-round PM45 mag is the same size as the P250 mag, but the P250 has a slight stagger to it so it holds 6 for my 5.
The trigger is EXACTLY what I want for a DAO gun. Its a true hammer-fired DAO gun, unlike the pre-charged striker-fired system of my Kahr, but the trigger pulls are similar. I’m not sure what the free state configuration (according to SIG’s site the free-state pull should be pretty close to the Kahr’s) But it feels JUST like a good DA revolver trigger. Smooth consistent pull with a crisp break and almost no over-travel. The pull is LONG tho, and the reset is almost the full length of travel. Now I prefer DA revolvers for trigger pull, so this is EXACTLY what I like, but that’s personal preference.
The gun also ran like a champ. It does seem to handle the recoil of the .45 ACP poorly. The bore axis is a bit higher than the Kahr, or a 1911, and the slide is big and blocky and it feels that its cycling contributes to muzzle flip. Not unpleasant, but you need to handle the gun a LOT more aggressively. The Kahr’s mild recoil really spoils me.
The P64 is just a nasty gun. It ran like a top…but boy it isn’t fun to shoot. As I said before the trigger is the worst trigger in creation (so much that it becomes a selling point!) and the sights are miniscule, and the gun is amazingly snappy for such a mild cartridge in such a heavy gun.
Doesn’t mean I don’t love it! Still my CZ-82 is still the best damn way to eat a box of 9x18mm!
Last up Jay brought out his takedown rifle!
SUCH a neat little gun! Breaks down small, and is fun to shoot. Had a few jams with the pre-ban extended mags, but I doubt that’s the fault of the gun.
Also we had one .22 that gave a REALLY mild report. Not only does the takedown system let you pack the rifle away small, but Jay quickly popped the barrel off the action and checked the bore for obstructions just in case that funny report was a squib getting lodged.
For a fixed-frame 10/22 you really need to run a rod down the barrel to ensure clear, or hit it with a strong bore light.
Also Jay likes to take it apart, so we had the thing in pieces a few times, and thanks to the sights being all on the barrel assembly the gun keeps putting the rounds right where you want them even after the gun is taken apart.
So yeah, good times were had, and shooting stuff is FUN!
Sometimes you don’t even need to own a weapon…
A Dallas man remains in jail after police say he randomly stabbed a shopper inside a Target store.
Police say Antowann Davis, 30, walked into the Target on Marsh Lane around 9:15 p.m. Thursday and took a butcher knife out of its packaging in the kitchen department.
Martha Jones, 29, said she was browsing inside the store when Davis walked past her and shoved the knife into her lower back.
In the UK you need to show ID to buy a kitchen knife because the totalitarians are anti-freedom, not anti-gun. Even that nonsense hasn’t stopped the stabbings on the streets….nor would it have stopped this.
Of course what the antis don’t look at is the PERSON. He walked to a store, opened some merchandise without paying for it, and attempted to kill a total stranger!
Its the PERSON, not the tools they use!

Maybe Someday buying a NIB Full-auto will be no different than buying a handgun.
Like Jeff said “A Gun Is a Gun”.
Saw this on the tabloids at the grocery store.
This week, tabloid speculation about the state of Kate’s uterus has reached a fever pitch, with one claiming that she’s already with child and another reporting that she will announce a pregnancy within three months. But The Globe hilariously one-ups them all, claiming that Kate doesn’t just have a bun in the oven — she also has a gun!
According to The Globe (via CelebDirtyLaundry.com), because “there is a plot afoot to kidnap Prince William,” Kate (who they claim is definitely preggers, although there’s no word on how far along she is) has been issued a firearm for her own safety. She is also allegedly receiving “special martial arts training” — although given how, um, willowy she is, it’s hard to imagine her being able to roundhouse kick a would-be kidnapper.
So where exactly does the Duchess keep the gun? When she’s in public, she doesn’t carry a huge handbag that a firearm would fit in; she’s normally seen with a very small clutch that can’t hold anything more than a lipstick, cell phone and some cash.
Wow, so this is a twofer. First, kinda neat where in the UK where ordinary people can’t even OWN a handgun, one of the newly minted member of the state’s pet welfare family has a toter’s permit, and is “issued” a gun!
Further the tabloid person is smart enough to get that a wisp like Kate probably wouldn’t be much good in hand-to-hand combat (that’s why I carry a gun!) but doesn’t seem to get that people carry guns all the time in free countries and pea-brains like her wouldn’t get the first inclination where that gun may be.
Hey, UK we threw the royals out on their asses. It did us good! Maybe you should give it a shot?
The Blue Language makes it. The Russians just needed a gun they could cheaply make to arm their massive army. “Adequate” is a good way to describe cold-war weapons. Does the gun shoot? Yep. Will a Cabbage Farmer from the banks of the Volga be able to hit another man from across a battle field more-times-than-not? Yep. Is the cartridge effective enough that a hit soldier will be reasonably compromised? Da comrade! Will it hold up to abuse and neglect? Yep.
And if all of this doesn’t work does it have a big spike on the end of it that can be used as a spear? Da, and not only that the heavy stock can be used as a swell club!
That works! Start production, we need a Million by the end of the month!
And even when the NEXT Adequate rifle came out they held onto the old ones for decades JUST in case they had more soldiers than they had rifles, because what killed men 30 years ago will still kill them today!
And now they ship them here, and they’re fun to collect!
