Pajamas Media » Violence Policy Center: Reinstate the Black Codes?
For blacks, like all victims of homicide, guns — usually handguns — are far and away the number one murder tool. Successful efforts to reduce America’s black homicide toll must put a focus on reducing access to firearms.

For an organization to make […]

You may have noticed the fuss about Trijicon sights and bible “quotations”.

Top U.S. military official defends vendor
Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the sights endanger troops.
“This plays right into the hands of maniacs who say, ‘Look, it’s a jihad,’”” he said, adding that he’s received several complaints from soldiers and Marines.

They cannot help themselves.

I have managed, through various means and for several reasons, to work up a visit of several days’ duration to the SHOT Show, which, as most hereabouts will know, is the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trades Show, being held this year in Las Vegas, NV, aka Disneyland For Adults.
Reasons:
1) I’ve been to Las Vegas, The […]

Passing D.C.’s Rules to Get a Gun Was Hard, but the Weapon Posed Its Own Test
I’ve been surrounded my whole life by people who see guns as a cause of social ill, not a cure. But what if they’re wrong? I live in a dangerous part of a dangerous city. I’ve heard gunshots from my […]

A rather cold realization dawns for The Waiter.
The writing may seem a trifle over-dramatic to some - but the hard, cold face of deadly self-defense (or, possibly, defense of others) carries sufficient drama for many.
When I visualized that someone was trying to kill me it was so anathema to my being that when I started […]

Sharp as a Marble - An affordable 50?
I’d love to have a 50BMG, more as just something to have and maybe take out once or twice a year. There’s not a lot of places around me locally that would be long enough to really enjoy the 50, but there are a few that a little […]

So…
Ruger 10/22, or Remington Model Five .22? (Secondary - Bolt versus Semiauto?)
Ammoman says he’s getting Federal .22 LR 40 grain in soon, at $199/5000 rounds. Maybe it’s time to invest in something to shoot it with.

SayUncle » More tactical 22s
I’m not sure exactly what a “tactical” .22 rifle is useful for, beyond the normal uses for a .22. Although one commenter does find a use I wholly approve of: He’s giving one to his eight and a half year old nephew.

Don’t bring a gun to a snowball fight?
DC Cop Waves Gun at Snowball Fight!

The context matters.
This is not simply an innocent snowball fight. This is a protest organized against evil, Gaia raping SUVs.
The cop is totally out of line, or is he? Is this a case of provocation for propaganda purposes? At what point […]

Every prepper board I read seems to think that if you are serious, you need to have several thousand rounds of ammo on hand for every firearm you own.
Frankly, I don’t get it. If you read the prepper fiction (PAWfic - Post Acopalyptic World fiction), almost all of them feature the hero getting into […]

A little comparison using the data on the Federal Hydra-Shok. 9mm is available in 124gr, 135gr and 147gr. .45ACP is available 1n 165gr and 230gr.
9mm 135gr muzzle velocity 1060fps muzzle energy 337 ftlbs, 25yds 316.
.45ACP 165gr muzzle velocity 1060fps muzzle energy 412 ftlbs, 50yds 349, 75yds 325.
I chose those two because they had the same […]

Liberty and Self Defense
Welcome to the family!
The title isn’t snark, by the way. If you have only one carry gun, it’s a good idea to make as sure as you can that what you hit goes down. A .45 is undisputed at possessing this capability.
Look into the Glock 30 if you want a […]
