And this is the government's fault. The government forced small shops to close during the covid bs while allowing the largest retailers to remain open to reap huge profits. The government encouraged our current lack of work force, lack of supply chain, and increased costs by paying extended...
I've heard that most nation's militaries will be transitioning to the .22 LR as it can be used in assault weapons of war like the one above. Way more effective than anything else.
If it can be successful, it will turn a profit and NO taxpayer support would be required after initial startup. Of course we know it won't ever turn a profit.
"For a city where obtaining a license to carry a firearm was once, not that long ago, almost impossible, a surprising number of NYC residents — 17% — have bought a gun in the past year, according to a July Siena poll."
1.4 Million guns were purchased in NYC in the last 12 months? That's...
It's been 10 years since this system was mandated, and no one has setup the phone system? In the private sector, people would have been fired after a few weeks of missing a deadline.
Back when COBIS existed I made a comment on a nation wide firearm forum about having to wait for my new handgun to be fired at a NYSP station before I could take possession of it. It came from out of state so it didn't include fired brass for the FFL to give to the NYSP. Several people from...
After this debacle finally goes through, they should drop the semi-auto rifle (purchase) permit and handgun (purchase/possession) permit since the state will know what you're buying... Oh yeah, they can't make things more simple.
The IRS should teach the rest of the government a thing or two. The first thing to shutdown when covid 'hit' was the government (at every level). God forbid the weather sucks and they have to show up to city, county, or state offices.
Of course they have to include .22 LR. As I understand it, a .22 LR caliber semiauto rifle with a detachable magazine and pistol grip stock is just as deadly as the same rifle in .50 Beowulf. After all, they are both 'assault weapons'. Somehow, that .50 Beowulf without a pistol grip just...
Didn't the left used to complain about 'old white men' running the gov't? Why do they keep voting in old white men (and women)? And why don't these people want to retire?
And if someone lived in MA and had to go to "different parts of New York between October 2020 and August 2021 following routes known to be used by narcotics pushers and for conspicuously short stays" FOR WORK, they would be subjected to unnecessary harassment.
Based on the title I thought this was an article about not requiring a permit to carry concealed.
'Illinois sheriffs prepare for 'America's most dangerous law' to come into effect'...
Are they going to remove the Whitehouse's generator? God knows they don't need anyone suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning there. Maybe they can just cover the Whitehouse lawn with solar panels and windmills.
I would like to see a poll of how many rounds are typically carried in a 9mm for self defense in a free state. My guess is somewhere above 15 in a single magazine. If a 'regular' person doesn't need more than 10 rounds for self defense, then neither does a LEO, or any of the many people...
I guess Doom, Quake, and Halflife (the games I played nonstop) didn't include the stuff that makes people violent.

Gun control is clearly NOT within the responsibilities of NYC's Comptroller. From https://comptroller.nyc.gov/about/duties-of-the-comptroller/
The Comptroller’s responsibilities include:
Conducting performance and financial audits of all City agencies;
Serving as a fiduciary to the City’s...
They used tax money to hire more people so the work could get done faster? That's genius! How has no one ever thought of that before? Think of all the jobs that could be done faster if more people were hired to do the work!
I'm also curious about "They found a marijuana cigarette next to the driver, identified as 25-year-old Otis Jones." I thought it was legal, and not a reason to search a vehicle.
Obviously a student shouldn't bring a gun to school, but this statement about the UNLOADED handgun clearly shows how scared some people are of the gun itself:
"I am shocked and saddened that this student’s dangerous actions jeopardized their own health and well-being and those of their...
"New York is continuing our fight against gun violence by making manufacturing 3D-printed guns and ghost guns illegal."
Thank God. Since the law making it illegal to possess 'ghost guns' didn't work, this will surely take care of the problem!
I used to have a laser on my nightstand handgun. It had the buckshot pattern below. I think it would be pretty intimidating for someone to see that on their chest. I took it off when I changed to a TRL-7 and red dot. I was going to go with a TRL-8 but couldn't get myself to spend the extra...
It's funny that when the D's are in charge they don't make weed legal federally, even though they seem to think it's important. Kind of like how the R's treat carry reciprocity...
In the article:
“Gun silencers are devices designed for a very specific purpose – to suppress the sound of gunfire from unsuspecting victims and reduce the chances they can run, hide, take cover, and call the police during an active shooter situation,” said Sen. Menendez in a press release...
I have a few comments:
1- Who would have thought you could get a pistol permit at that age in Maryland?
2- At least they were wearing masks. Covid is still a thing, you know.
3- Love that 'Biden-Harris' sign in the union president's office.
4- They probably should send that gun back to the...
"A check of the vehicle revealed a “MAC-10” style submachine gun with an extended magazine on the back seat. That weapon and the Ruger handgun recovered in Mount Vernon, were later determined to be stolen."
So the guns weren't on the suspect's pistol permit?
The two arrested are 16 and 17. The gun control people were complaining that Alabama recently dropped the age to carry to 18:
Concealed Carry in Alabama.
I guess these two guys identify as 18?
But it was ok last winter for NYS to have billboards along I81 that said 'Be a road warrior, plow for NYSDOT'? Isn't the state appropriating 'warrior'?
It would have been more accurate if the article were titled 'Off-duty cop spots man with gun in stolen vehicle in CNY Walmart parking lot'. I like how the stolen vehicle part was an afterthought.
I miss those signs on the highway.... Now it's just stuff about accidents ahead, road work, wear your seatbelt, don't drink and drive, and other stuff so much less important than wearing a mask. At least there are still used masks in parking lots to take me back to a better time.
