This is not good. We know that the Gun Ownership = Treason meme is exclusive part and parcel of CSGV. I know that The Bloomberg Gun Control Amalgamated pretty much ignore the rest of the Gun Control organizations, but stealing somebody else’s strategy is low.

Incidentally. I have not heard the cries and hues of Moms Demand or anybody else when a Concealed Carrier was found drunk in the street carrying a sidearm and spare ammunition in the middle of a very public and very volatile public demonstration.

Jamilah Nasheed was arrested Monday by St Louis PD   for “Failure to Obey Lawful Order of Police and Manner of Walking in the Roadway. ” (Basically blocking the road and not getting off when told).  At the time of the arrest, the officers detected the smell of alcohol and also found a loaded 9mm pistol on her. She is a State Senator & notorious for being anti-gun…except when it comes to be of her business as she admitted to have a permit to carry. Everybody else….

Apparently more evil goodies are on the way.

I’m no longer willing to deal with the downsides of the shotgun, especially when there are other ways to achieve the same ends. My AR-15, for instance, is shorter, lighter, has a significantly rearward weight bias in comparison to just about any shotgun, recoils less, is easier to get back on target for followup shots, and frankly is a lot more fun to practice with. It’s also extremely effective, particularly at the distances one is likely to find in a home.

(A lever-action rifle isn’t quite as easy to use as an AR-15, but it still beats the shotgun as far as I’m concerned!)

For me, the advantages of the shotgun are few and are outweighed by the disadvantages I’ve noted. The trouble is that too many people buy into an idea (“the shotgun is the ultimate home defense gun!”) without honestly assessing their own needs and capabilities.

At least partially. Yes, a good rifle will do what a shotgun can and with less apparent disadvantages but… only if you can afford it.

Here is where I have a problem with the rifle concept: A decent M4-type weapon is gonna cost you and that is before accessorizing with a red dot and even a light. And then you need the ammo and the extra mags and the sling…and by then you are broke doing the tactical Barbie thing and shelling up to $2,000.

Now, our objective is defense and even if we do so with less than the “perfect” tools, it beats waving the feather duster against a bad guy. Take for example the  Hawk Model 982,  a Chinese clone of the Remington 870 that has had decent reviews and can be bought for under $200 and in many cases in the $150 to $160 range. Or you can go the used shotgun way with prices slightly above the Hawk and still leaves you with enough money to buy shells and get some basic training.

Is it the universal long gun for home defense? Of course not. My petite wife may take one or two shots with it and call it a day so her training level will be zero. But if the person can deal with the recoil, why not?

So basically that is my humble opinion. The shotgun is still a viable long gun for home defense depending on the circumstances.

Leave to the well-paid advertising geniuses that works for Moms Demand to screw up a basic childhood entertainment: The Tin Can Phone.

I wonder how is it that a Stay-At-Home mother like Shannon Watts did not catch the glaring mistake of not having the frigging string taut between the calling parties.

Then again it is a perfect representation of why their message is not going far.

They screw up something so basic, yet we must blindly trust them when they speak of gun safety. Yeah right.
