Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[churchmouse]

might still cause a blip in gun sales. For sure bumpfire stocks. And of course maybe a small run on 22LR.

I've learned from Sandy hook though. I think I'm up to 12K rounds of 22. That's good for a few range trips.

The spouse mentioned I was pretty lucky in the fact we just replaced all the ammo we ran this summer. Cabinet is full.

Judging from some of the fear mongering emails I get, I imagine their marketing department consists of one person to send out the emails, and Alex Jones on contract to write the content.

I never read that crap. It goes straight into the trash once I check it to determine if it's important...which means it almost always goes into the trash.

They're talking about taking your guns again. Surprise.

Fox News gets blamed for a lot of stuff by people that don't watch Fox News. Some folks will even tell you that in the same sentence as they are bashing. FNC is not perfect, they have some noticeable flaws. What's the alternative?

Anyway, Laura Ingram certainly got a couple things wrong commenting on the Fudd News Channel this morning. She certainly took the correct stand in my mind though against the anti gun dems. She basically said we're NOT going to have a "discussion about guns." If the dems want to talk guns, they can make it an election issue. Bring it.

I just saw on CB just now a segment where they played a 60 Minutes segment that THEY DID NOT ORIGINALLY AIR of Scalice standing up for our 2A rights.

I listen to the Bluegrass channel on Sirius and you have no idea what they seem to think is Bluegrass these days....

I knew I liked you! (And I know what you mean, although I like the traditional and the contemporary styles of bluegrass - and I spent a good deal of time singing the former in a gospel bluegrass band.)

It's only "wrong" because society says you're not allowed to find humor in the face of a tragedy for fear it might minimize the emotional impact. Yet it is perfectly acceptable to play up the items that make it more emotionally impactful.

Oh. I meant wrong as in I thought Tom Petty didn't die until much later in the morning. So the concert goers would have had to wait for him.

gooooan... c'mon you can do better than that. GIPA is the gold standard.

I suppose I should start a thread on this, but: can someone educate me on "bump fire" stocks, and semi-auto/full-auto conversion, in general? I've never learned about such, because I've never really had an interest. But, I'd like to be able to discuss them intelligently, since my anti friends/associates are already up in arms about them.

Local, NBC, channel 13, Indy, said,

Since the NRA, WON'T let the Congress have a computer database, of all firearm sales,

The FBI, has to go to a warehouse, in Va., and hand sort every sale .....

I thought they just called the mfg., with the serial #, and they could find out,

where the gun was sold, and then look at the 4473 .....

There's a good reason WTHR is not on Directv anymore. We didn't even know they had not worked out the contract issues.

Oh'well... not missing WTHR anyway.

Just saw a pic of some of the guns used. 1 has a bump fire with a surefire mag.this is a gun in the hotel room.

A very effective way to waste ammo at high speed, Paddock notwithstanding.

...I sure hope the NRA has some tight security on their database....

Is the AMERICAN RIFLEMAN or AMERICAN HUNTER actually printed/distributed in-house? If not, the database has never been as secret as some would lead you to believe.

NBC showed a clip of that video (with no sound of course) exclaiming that he was demonstrating "one of the perfectly legal "kits" you can buy online for 50 dollars" to convert a semi-auto gun to full auto.

I’m not trying to be funny. I’m just saying at some point the joke falls apart in its mechanics. But then most jokes do.

Not really related, but kinda... Just got this in an email from The Firearms Blog.

ATF Determines Auto Glove to be a Machine Gun

ATF Determines AutoGlove To Be A Machine Gun - The Firearm BlogThe Firearm Blog

I'd never heard of these before, but functionally it doesn't seem to be much different than a bump fire stock.
