Latest shows there are beliefs the suspect has "leanings towards an ISIS ideology".

No details yet but lots of people shot, a dead gunman, and a "controlled explosion" on a device carried by the shooter. Lots of reporters and anchors spewing out fear and opinion.

That's pretty much how it went down. She'd already taken our NRA Basic Pistol class, wanted some more range time. He gave it to her and said "Try this out!" WD40s the shizzle! And duct tape. And bailing wire.

Truth. A majority of law enforcement get into the profession to serve their communities, not because they are "gun people". When they join their local force they learn a basic competency for two (sometimes three) firearms: their issue sidearm and a shotgun, with some agenceis allowing a rifle or carbine. While not there for this incident, we had a church youth group doing a shooting activity at our range and their "range safety volunteers" were two police officers. One was a training officer for a small PD in the northwest metro area. For insurance purposes our range safety officers must be present, which is good because these clowns were trying to force-feed the wrong ammo into bolt-action rifles. Had a student bring her retired cop neighbor's Glock 17 to the range so she could try it out. A Glock. A Glock that had been so neglected since his retirement that it would not feed nor fire, due to the gunkification (new technical term I just made up) of the lube he'd slathered on it years before. And there's always the video of the cop grabbing a sawed off shotgun off a small doorway roof, sticking his finger in the barrel and then grabbing the other end by the trigger and blowing part of his hand off.

But they don't lay around, do they? They slowly magnatize and attract to one another and, before you know, there's a new rifle in the safe.

Got up this morning before dawn (the one in the sky), was a large amount of smoke in the sky. Checked to see what fires are burning in Arizona. There's a list of like 10! Gonna be a bad year for fires.

Yup. They had been making multiple-shot firearms for a very long time before our B.O.R. was written. Just because governments cheap out on weapons doesn't mean they didn't exist.

I was looking for a list of state restrictions on firearms purchases and found this: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/02/foghorn/breaking-federal-judge-declares-interstate-handgun-transfer-ban-unconstitutional/ Hunh. Looks like the purchases were good and legal all the way around.

That's only against the law because Shepp is not from a neighboring state, which would allow a purchase out of state (i.e. New Mexico). Working retail, we had a big book with all the state transfer rules. Handguns were basically a no-go, long guns depended upon which state the person showed their residency. IIRC either Alabama or Mississippi citizens were allowed to buy guns anywhere that would sell to them.

Best way to see it right there! "Criminals don't follow the law, be they street thugs or media reporters."

Cool video on the reduced capacity 28-shot Evans Carbine!

I have yet to see one anti-gunner get charged with a crime, when they broke the law "to make a point".

Welcome from Arizona!

Not to mention, he deserves all the walks. No, seriously. Off the short bus until you figure out this link issue.

Link no worky.

Ding ding ding ding ding!!! Winner winner chicken dinner! Just posted that elsewhere. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.

Yeah. Just like in the media, the focus here is the gorilla getting shot. I want to know why we are being distracted with a gorilla getting shot. What is going on behind the curtain of power?

What's going on behind the scenes? Everyfuckinbody is talking about that gorilla getting shot at the zoo in Ohio. That can only mean one thing: somewhere, somehow, government is wrapping sandpaper around the three foot double headed jelly dong.

Yeah, what Mikedaddy said!

More of a form but we can use it around here:

That is WAY more reasonable that the prices they were getting. Probably now that all the "I MUST have one" people have one, inventories are stocking up and dealers realize they need to unload them. There is still a glut on .22 Magnum Magwa ammo around here.

That gem right there applies to any firearm work, at any time, on any firearm.
