My favorite news article was about a citizen whose neighbor was a gun-grabbing liberal...so the citizen put a sign in his own yard that said his neighbor was a gun-free zone.....

ROTFLMAO

Smart gun technology, if one looks closely, is directed towards semiautomatic pistols.
Meaning, any and all revolvers, both smokeless and black powder, cannot be disarmed electronically, because of their inner and outer lockworks. Yes, there is on most revolvers since Bill Clinton, a locksafe mechanism, but a legal method to disable it has been found, and some manufacturers produce no lock models.

Therefore, the old fashioned, 5,6,7, or 8 shot only revolver, accompanied with speedloaders or speedstrips, or sometimes,moonclips, and grips to accomodate those loaders, will still be preferred over smartgun designed semiauto pistols, and still in very capable calibers.

I prefer snubbies in .38 Special. I am a senior citizen, seasoned revolver pistolero, who prefers milder recoil, less flash, and concealed carry.

I’m sure that all 24 people who waste their money and buy this book will be instrumental in swaying 300,000,000 American’s minds to hate icky guns

Maybe the author should walk the streets of California in gang territory and see how little the people ‘dislike guns’ there-

Smells like a simple plagiarism of Michael A. Bellesiles’ utterly discredited work Arming America.

That was my first thought: "Bellesiles Redux".

After he was exposed, I brought a copy of one of the articles, showed it to the local librarian, and suggested, at the least, to place the book in the Fiction section.

Deer-in-headlights, then that river in Egypt. Happy to say though, that after a few months, the book disappeared.

This is a gun thread, sir.

If you are going to post pictures here of scantily clad women they should at least be holding a gun!

Oh...wait...

Right, and you beat me to posting the same thing. May you be licked to death by 1,000 Great Dane puppies.

Yes, Bellesiles should sue for this copying of his misrepresentation.

“What advertising encouraged men to make projectile points 60 to 70,000 years ago.”

Obviously, it was the people with the flint franchise...

What only word of mouth advertising back then!? It must have been a heaven on earth.. oops high mortality rate, non-existant medical care, life expectancy of 30-40 years, constant tribal warfare...

Marxists are so ignorant of history, economics, and reality in general.

They may save my families’ lives from rabid critters or equally diseased people. As our culture continues downhill they become more essential.

I am alive today because I had a gun at my bedside the night I awoke to find an intruder in my bedroom. I will not give up my guns.

Also googled her after I saw the name; Pamela Haag, seriously?
Just another femanazi in my opinion, but not that bad looking.
Guilty as charged of being an IDIOT? hell yes, but Laz would still hit it.
