I guess Batman must have special New York City (Gotham City) weapon privileges because he is a celebrity.

When President Obama took office, gun rights advocates sounded the alarm, warning that he intended to strip them of their arms and ammunition.

And yet the opposite is happening. Mr. Obama has been largely silent on the issue while states are engaged in a new and largely successful push for expanded gun rights, even passing measures that have been rejected in the past.

A surprisingly negative and stereotypical “crib sheet” summary of the New York Times article at over at Vanity Fair.

Badass looking outfit.  Check

War flags. Check

Piercing stare. Check

Linked ammunition draped over shoulder. Check

Not having a barrel in your gun…

I am pleased to welcome the newest site sponsor:

• Everything you see on their site is “In Stock” (No back orders ever!)
  
• They will ship your order the same day, or the next business day at the latest

They have a really nice selection! make sure you check them out.

I’d like to see these in a lineup like the recent posts I made on rifle ammo and handgun ammo.

I have absolutely no idea what approximately 80/100 of these are used for.

If your monitor is small, it won’t expand to its full size.  You should “save as…” to download it to view it in all its glory.

Quite the collection.

This is a gun board classic:

After some years now of reading internet bulletin boards, I think I’ve got the pros and cons of possible SHTF rifle choices figured out. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the following is my analysis based upon the wisdom of numerous gun board gurus (you know them, they’re always the first ones to tell you a particular model gun is “junk” and enlighten you as to why they have made the only logical purchases)…

The AR 15:

Great, awesome, unbelievable rifle(when it works). Can hit a fly in the butt at 300 yards (when it works). If one is ever attacked by a pack of feral poodles post-SHTF, this is the perfect defensive rifle (unless it jams, in which case you’re poodle food). The upside is that one can hang more plastic aftermarket doo-dads on it than a Christmas tree, which may effectively frighten away bad guys when the gun jams. Also, by simply changing the upper, one can convert it into a Ruger 10/22.

The MINI-14:

Could be a good rifle, but it’s not black.

When checking through the boxes of ammo used, we found five or six other cases that had no rim, there was nothing for the extractor to grab hold of and therefore couldn’t extract the spent case causing a malfunction.

WOW that is not good…  This is why it makes sense to give your ammo a quick look over before you use it.  Can you imagine this rimless ammo in a self defense situation? You would almost certainly be dead.  There is no method I know of to quickly clear a casing that can’t even be grabbed by the extractor without using something to poke the casing out from the barrel end.

Will paranoia of this situation bring about a new carry product developed by Speer to fix such a situation?

After telling my FaceBook friends they could shoot my T.V. if the Saints beat the Redskins, they showed up in full force after the Saints won in OT 33-30.

• Beer – check
• Guns – check
• Ammunition – check
• No hearing protection – check
• Imitation football helmet to run head first into T.V. with, after you shoot it into a million sharp pieces – check

You might want to take a look at this when considering what caliber and type of ammo to carry.

I never realized that the expansion and retention varied so much even within the same caliber depending on the style of bullet you use.

DES MOINES, Iowa

A Des Moines girl was suspended after school officials said she violated their weapons policy.
Jazmine Martin, 12, brought an empty shotgun shell to school on Monday, a souvenir from a summer vacation to South Dakota. The shell was empty and had the word “blank” written on the front.

Interesting, I looked up “ammunition” in the dictionary for the heck of it and this is the first entry:

The material fired, scattered, dropped, or detonated from any weapon, as bombs or rockets, and esp. shot, shrapnel, bullets, or shells fired by guns
(Reference: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ammunition)

So I suppose by that definition the empty shell would be considered ammunition.  What a dumb policy though!

Hopefully that doesn’t ruin that girls chance at getting into university down the road since its on her “permanent record”.  My guess is it will be listed on the record as something vague too like “Suspended for a weapon” which obviously looks worse then putting “Brought a shotgun hull to show-and-tell”
