Unsubscribe means stop sending me frigging emails that I never requested in the first place.

That’s why in order to fight back I’m issuing a SECOND AMENDMENT EMERGENCY CALL TO ARMS.

If we can hit our goal of raising $72,000 in the next 72 hours, my staff will blanket targeted states with a hard-hitting digital ad campaign EXPOSING the records of anti-gun politicians.

Hard hitting digital campaign? You mean Spam? You need $72 K to send Spam?

We ain’t sending you money, OK?

Now fuck off.

Thanks.

I cannot get the original video posted in Facebook embedded but the link should take you there if you wanna hear the very well thought out comments which I will basically repeat in written form and add my own 2 cents.

This is a stabbing out of Rotterdam where the ex-boyfriend stitched the woman seventy times. She survived. From the moment the video was started to the moment the witness finally geared enough testosterone to pull the attacker off the woman, a full minute and ten seconds passed. And I am not saying “get the rope and a good branch and let’s hang this bastard”, but you reckon several “somebodies” could go ahead and stand on top of this animal so he does not move or flee? I am sure some of them have seen a cop movie or something.

This was IMHO a clear case for third-party intervention. hell even them dutch figured that out. But if you are going to intervene, do so with decisiveness, aggressiveness and ruthlessness , and yes, I am quoting Col. Cooper’s Principles of Personal Defense again.  With the long soccer tradition that Holland has, there is no excuse that nobody placed a well-aimed kick to the head of this bastard with several kicks for good measure to follow.  Maybe is something in their laws that forbids them or punish them for getting involved, I really have no idea.

One of the comments from Active Self Protection mention that nobody was rendering aid to the attacked woman and that at least you should train for some basic First Aid. Even if you do not have your kit with you, some assistance in the form of what to do can make the difference (Lay down, bend your knees up) not only for the victim but also in case you end up injured and must take remedy.

Just another bit of reality to help us understand what might be out there and how to prepare for it.

On October 15, in Fairfax, Virginia, Robert Dickens became the victim of a SWATting call. The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) was able to obtain the details of the incident as provided by Robert Dickens, and provided the story to Bearing Arms via email.

Not cool… Retribution might be a bitch on this one. I am thinking the Klan in the 80s. And Bloomberg could be called a rich target.

I much rather Moms, CSGV and company to stop playing stupid games though.

Not taking anything from the effort by Megan Silberberger since it requires stones to go after a shooter with just good intentions, but new information happened to come out about the shooter and his nasty deed: Jayleen Fryberg had texted the victims and invited them to have lunch with him.  He basically baited them into a common kill zone.

This was no “I am pissed at the world and I am gonna shoot anybody at school just because” but a cold-blooded execution with more in common with a Mafia hit than your standard mass killing by teenage angst.

The investigation is still ongoing but it will be interesting to find out what kind of material was Fryberg reading or accessing in the Net.

And again congrats to Ms. Silberberger who demonstrated a bigger testosterone load than all the MAIG members together.

But two years later, federal gun safety laws remain unchanged, and Freedom Group remains profitable and unsold. Now its executives—appointed by Cerberus—are helping to finance anti-gun-control ads against Connecticut’s Democratic governor, Dannel Malloy.

via Cerberus said it would stay out of the gun debate. Why are executives it appointed fighting gun safety laws? – Quartz.

Actually they never said they were going to stop selling guns, not that they could anyway. They stated that they were going to get rid of Freedom Group which is the umbrella where they keep the gun manufacturing companies and allegedly they didn’t according to some reports because they could not find anybody wanting to pay what they were asking. Then again they might be reluctant to sell because ” The company generated $887.7 million in sales and $143.4 million of earnings” in 2012.  And the report for 2013 was even bigger:

According to the “Full Year Financial Guidance Report” for 2013, issued by Remington’s parent company, Freedom Group, on December 9, the arms manufacturer is predicting the following results for the year:

Net sales for the year ending December 31, 2013 to be in the range of $1,250.0 million to $1,275.0 million as compared to Net sales of $931.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2013 to be in the range of $235.0 million to $240.0 million as compared to $156.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Besides being idiotic to sell a profitable section of your investments, I would think that investors would scream bloody murder if the company would cave to political BS, reduce the amount of money going into their pockets and opening themselves for potential lawsuits for mismanagement of the investments.

As for the “buying of political ads,” you need to get to the bottom of the article to find out how much money was given by two executives: $15,000 to the NSSF. They are actually moaning about $15K for Gun Rights in an election year where Billionaires have given close to 10 million dollars to the I 594 in Washington State alone.  But that is different….

It must be close to election time to be seeing such pabulum being published.

This goes in the “You can’t do that with an AR” category.

The new weapon indexing rage: Temple.

I am trying to find the words to sound professional and courteous, but they are not forthcoming. So let’s go straight to it: It is stupid.  It will take one Negligent Discharge in real life to make people go “Well shit Batman, we could have researched this one a bit more, couldn’t we?”

Now, under fully controlled choreography in the range, we will see “proof” that indeed this indexing may have a proper and limited application, heck even in real life for some operators that are expecting contact any second from inside a vehicle, there might be an application for Temple Index. Then again Real Life is a chaos event, shit will go south and the idea of having a gun touching your head is not appealing to me one bit. For once, I doubt regular Joe and Jane will be wearing eye and ear protection and even a cap. Second: What comes out of a muzzle besides the bullet is a thing to consider. And there is the probability that the shooter will not keep muzzle as high as in the picture under stress or even 90 degrees in the vertical.

A couple of pics:

I reckon no explanations are needed on the by-products coming out of a muzzle.

If your commit a Negligent Discharge while keeping your gun close to your head, you are bound to get a nice dose of heated gases and propellant particles. And you will also get a dose of high decibels in the form of a big boom which will not help you keep a clear head or improve your hearing. Why do I know this? Experience.  Years ago when i was not even remotely close to know about guns, a friend and myself were screwing around and decided to have a picture taken with a gun pointed up in between our faces. As idiots, we never checked the gun, we never made sure it was unloaded and we were just plain unsafe. I was holding the gun so it is me who was responsible for going off (and still swear I don’t remember pulling the trigger) and we ended up getting a face full of the blast with accompanying “tan”, temporary hearing loss and unable to process what happened for about two-three minutes. The only saving grace was that in order to look cool for the pic, we had decided to wear gold-rimmed aviator Ray Bans so our eyes were spared of damage.

And I really don’t care how operator are you or what kind of celebratory name you have in the gun circles, gun safety is basic and must be enacted all the damned time. We keep telling each other that we always revert to the Basics, that they are fundamental and everything grows and develops out of the Basics. Well, it does not get any more basic than the safe manipulation of a firearm and purposefully placing the gun where it can hurt you if a Negligent Discharge happens might be considered a contradiction.

And I almost forgot: You know that somebody is gonna have the ND with a revolver.
