Compromise

One of the biggest gripes between pro and anti gunners (other than the obvious), is that neither side will compromise. Well, here is your chance.

Hypothetically it has been determined that the two lists will be combined into the next gun law. To accomplish this combining, three items must be picked from each list by each lawmaker with the top three being used in the law. Choose wisely.

My choices will be revealed in a later post.

List A: Pro-Gun

1. No Permit Carry (Concealed and Open)
2. Abolish the NICS Check (But keep the 4473)
3. Allow for non-violent felons to restore their rights
4. Abolish "Safe Storage" requirements
5. National Concealed Carry Permit
6. Redact NFA restrictions (Class 3 Items)

List B: Anti-Gun

1. National Firearms Registry
2. Ban on Handguns
3. Ban on Hi-Cap (10 round) Magazines
4. Mandatory 15 day waiting period on all firearms purchases
5. Assault Weapon Ban
6. .50BMG ban

These are the only items that can be chosen from, and two and only two from each list may be chosen.

Lest we forget

They've said it all.
And to borrow a quote from Kim:

"If you will excuse me, I'm off to the range."

Osama's New Video

I am not going to post excerpts here, but here are the one that the Associated Press found to be most interesting.

Is it just me or is he starting to sound alot like a Democratic Presidential Candidate?

Think about it.

Bush Bashing?
Check

War in Iraq is bad?
Check

Capitalism is the cause of our evilness? (i.e. War for oil)
Check

Most Americans oppose the war?
Check

Scary isn't it...

When International public enemy number one could speak with any of the current crop of Dems without arguing, maybe its time to reconsider whether or not we as a nation really want them at the helm.

I Know I Don't.

Fred Thompson

Finally

I have been waiting for this since I first heard of his supposed intentions to run. Now it is time to further build support. I truly think that Mr. Thompson is the best candidate for starting the return of this country to a small, fiscally and socially conservative, Constitutional Government. Here are a couple more links to Fred's campaign:

Go there. Learn the man. Vote accordingly.

Mrs. Brady? Is that you?

Here is something that just got my knickers in a wad this morning.

Hunters and Shooters

Hunters and shooters? Pshaw (and other strong language)

These people are about as 2A friendly as the Hildabeast.

Don't believe me? Go there, then click on the "Gun Rights" tab. You will see such jewels as:

AHSA believes the FBI should be given reasonable access to National Instant Check System (NICS) purchase records to insure terrorists and other prohibited individuals do not have access to firearms.

And also so they know where to go first when it is finally confiscation time.

AHSA supports requiring all transfers of firearms at gun shows to be subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations currently applicable to federally licensed firearm dealers including the conducting of the instant background check on purchasers.

(Emphasis Mine)

No sir, you can not set up at the gun show and sell a couple of rifles. What's next, I can't sell to my neighbor without calling the sheriff and the local Feeb office to make sure that he never stole a chicken

AHSA supports legislative efforts to regulate .50 caliber BMG sniper rifles in the same manner as machine guns are regulated under the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934.

This one is the kicker folks. This shows where they truly lie on the side of gun rights. Using the emotionally charged word "sniper". I don't think I really need to say anymore than I have about this.

Hunters and shooters? I really think you need to reconsider that name....

*SPIT*

New Pistol

Llama Max-I .45 ACP

Now, before you start in on me telling me how this isn't a "real" 1911, let me remind you: NEITHER IS A KIMBER OR WILSON COMBAT!!

Unless it is made by Colt, all you can say is you have a 1911 clone. This one looks the same, handles the same, has the same manual of arms...as a matter of fact the only difference I have found is that the screw holes on the grips do not line up the same as on most other clones.

Range Report:

150 rounds
FTE 0
FTFire 0
FTFeed 3
Best 15 round group - approx 6 inches
Distance of target - 20 meters

All of the failure to feeds occurred with the last round in the magazine. This happened with both the factory mag and McCormick mag I bought the same day I purchased the pistol. I believe this to be an issue with both the recoil spring being slightly too light, and with the feed ramp needing a polish. I will update after both of these have been fixed.

Now for the kicker: purchase price. $250. Used (of course).

This little beauty looked up at me from the case at one of my local shops, smiled and said, "You don't really want that new scope instead of little ol' me, do you?"

Of course not.

After a disassembly and careful examination of her internals, I did the requisite paperwork (thank you federal government *spit*) and she was mine.
