Walther SP22
Taking a look at the new Walther SP22, I notice this at the bottom: Important Note: The SP22 is not available for sale in California. Void where prohibited by law. I wonder if California’s laws in this matter, which seem to ban ordinary .22LR sporting pistols, is the kind of law that Ray Schonke finds … Continue reading “Walther SP22”
More Bob Ricker
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but Bitter’s blog was featured in yesterday’s NRA Outrage of the Week: But when NRA-ILA puts the word out that AHSA is an anti-gun front group, these “sportsmen” get a little sensitive, calling ILA staff “right-wing attack dogs” and calling gun owners who support the right to own firearms … Continue reading “More Bob Ricker”
American Hunters and Shooters Nonsense
Last week Traction Control did a great fisking of John Rosenthal, board member of American Hunters and Shooter Association (and also a founder of Stop Handgun Violence, a Massachusetts gun control group) claims of NRA lies. Now Bitter rips apart another AHSA press release claiming all manner of things about the NRA. Give both a … Continue reading “American Hunters and Shooters Nonsense”
Countertop’s Criticism
I’ve been critical of GOA often in the past, but ouch: Bottom line, the Gun Owners of America (and by implication Larry Pratt) aren’t worth the paper I just used to wipe shit from ass. Follow the comment he linked to, where he deconstructs McCain’s GOA F rating. I would note, though, that NRA also … Continue reading “Countertop’s Criticism”
False Flag Operation?
SayUncle points to another potential false flag operation. A quick look at the TRCP, and I don’t think that this is another AHSA, meaning, I don’t think this is a group that intended to push gun control, and founded by anti-gunners. It would appear this group is funded largely by the unions, probably in order … Continue reading “False Flag Operation?”
More From the Tinfoil Hat
I think it’s quite possible that, rather than an astroturfing campaign, we’re seeing the fact that newspapers just love this “I’m a gun owner, but I support gun control” articles. I should be clear that if it is astroturfing, I don’t think the Brady’s are behind it. My guess would be the AHSA, but this … Continue reading “More From the Tinfoil Hat”
On The Floor
We hit the floor of the NRA convention this morning. Bitter had some business to take care of with Cam Edwards, and I headed off to talk to the guy at the Wolf booth about why it was so hard to find 5.45×39 for my AK-74. Interestingly also, the FBI has a NICS booth set … Continue reading “On The Floor”
Surprise!
Well, no, not really. Paul Helmke is full fo shit: After posting this blog, Zumbo was fired from the magazine, had his television show on the Outdoor Channel cancelled, and lost his sponsors. The NRA suspended their long-term relationship with Zumbo and pointed to the destruction of Zumbo’s career as an example of what happens … Continue reading “Surprise!”
