http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/12/the-case-for-more-guns-and-more-gun-control/309161/ This is an excellent pro-gun article in the Atlantic. It is a major political and high end magazine. The author clearly lays out the self-defense case and the futility of the most gun control...

I've been stopping by local sporting goods stores and also Bass Pro. Not to be in a panic but looking for bargains on other stuff (like socks) as I have the time off. At the gun counters, I've noticed: 1. The EBRs are gone. Bolt guns are there and interestingly, tactical type shotguns. 2...

http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/jp/head-on-a-stick-tweet-lands-u-of-rhode-island-professor-in-hot-water?cid=pm&utm_source=pm&utm_medium=en I don't know if you can see this but I'll explain. A history professor at the University of Rhode Island said that he would want Wayne's head on a stick...

I have a 10/22 with the synthetic stock and stainless. Don't have a sling for it. I don't see sling attachment points. Missed them - duh? Suggestions, folks. I think I want to shoot it in some carbine matches to save a buck and grins. I have the Ruger 25 round mags. Thanks.

Help an old mod's eyes. I have a 327 Mag J frame with adjustable sights and a pinned front (like a Model 60). However, the old eyes don't like black on black with a gap. I'm thinking about a rear sight with the white U and a front fiber optic. SW seems to sell them. Opinions? Experience...

We had an IDPA pistol or carbine match. Shoot pistol or rifle (I shot my 1911). The majority of guns were 223s - AR-15, M4s. Some AR pattern 9mms. A few AK pattern of different kinds. Interestingly some folks shot 10/22s in standard patterns with extended mags. I have to try that. I have one...

Just a rant. Watching some cop shows last night (dramas) and all the officers looking tough as nails with war faces on - use the silly tea cup grip on their Glocks. Don't they have an advisor? I see new shooters come to the range using it and then have problems. Well, what do I expect from TV?

http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/2012-2017-US-Army-Orders-up-to-100000-M9-Pistols-07540/ I guess the 9mm is still here to stay. One interesting note in the article is the comment on stopping power. Mentions that some units want 45s but there are problems...

We have quite a few trained folks here. From another venue, it has been postulated that the current training videos for how to respond to a rampage, in fact, give hints and ideas to the a shooter on how to do it and awareness of countermeasures. We've seen planning from Cho, the Aurora...

An often asked question on the Internet, but if you want a scientific view of the issue, look at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jwmg.342/abstract Efficacy of firearms for bear deterrence in Alaska† Interesting read, not much difference between long arms and handguns but also...

How times have changed! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/business/a-kalashnikov-factory-in-russia-survives-on-sales-to-us-gun-owners.html Basically the old AK factories are making a living selling Saigas to us and others. The market for military guns has dried up. The ban on Chinese guns...

Andrew goes to New Mexico, shoots prairie dogs and comments on how he likes to shoot guns with clips of nice big guns! Then he shoots an dog with a neat AR. Later he uses a bolt gun for buffalo. The Food Channel is quite gun friendly. Alton Brown, Zimmern, Bourdain, Ming Tsai - all have...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/04/sports/olympics/olympic-athletes-may-win-gold-but-a-pot-of-it-rarely-follows.html Congrats for winning the medal - but has anyone heard of such glasses being used for training? On the surface, I don't see the connection.

http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20120806,00.html So I bought this. The article: 1. Makes the point that even horrors like Aurora cannot get reasonable gun control passed. 2. That is because the NRA and gun lobby is so strong after Clinton and Gore got clobbered by their antigun...

So while shopping yesterday at the supermarket, tactically apple pieing each aisle in Condition Orange Juice, I see Guns and Ammo having an article about the two Hornady loads. I buy it. The gist is that CDuty will meet the FBI standards but has stout recoil and muzzle flash. That's so it will...

http://blastr.com/2012/08/new-epic-thrilling-and-he.php There is a trailer for the new season of Dr. Who. In the middle a guy racks a pump action something. Anybody know what that is? Glenn

http://www.policeone.com/legal/articles/5884833-Judge-allows-paralyzed-cop-to-sue-Glock/ So this guy has a gun in the back seat which his kid could find and then shoots him. Shouldn't he be prosecuted for allowing a kid access to the gun? If the kid shot himself, won't prosecuting Daddy be...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/01/nyregion/new-york-city-sells-polices-spent-gun-shell-casings-to-georgia-ammunition-dealer.html?ref=nyregion This has to make you laugh. NYC sells casings to Georgia Arms. Criticized Bloomers stands behind the sale. Because he is about crime control and not...
