The sound of automatic gunfire was heard in the upper northwest neighborhood of Vann Ness in Washington, D.C. Friday afternoon. Police report at least three people wounded: Two adults and one juvenile female. The shooting took place near the private Edmund Burke School (grades 6-12), but there is no word on whether the victims are students. A witness reported seeing students run from the school. Another witness reported shattered glass at the school. That was later explained by another witness of a glass enclosed walkway at the school that had been shattered. Police update: “4:27 pm Update: There have been...

Most people are not used or have no idea what real violence is like. We have many a snowflake that believes violence is when you tell them to go flock themselves for butting in in your life. They cy a river demanding reparations because they suffer PTSD and unrepairable damages for 2 words according to them. This is real violence. The people in the video who ended horizontally, do not come back from its consequences. The only positive thing you could say, they were equally scum as the assholes that shot them. Donut Operator has a full deconstruction and explanation...

The man being held on suspicion of terrorism after the Westminster car attack on Tuesday has been named as Salih Khater by British newspapers. The event, in which 15 cyclists and pedestrians were reportedly struck before Khater’s silver Ford Focus hit the Palace of Westminster anti-terror barrier just before 07:40 BST, is being investigated by British counter-terror police. He has been arrested under the 2006 terrorism act. Apparently uncomfortable in identifying the terror suspect using the common nomenclature as an ‘immigrant’, government security minister Ben Wallace instead called Khater a “British citizen [who] came from another country originally” when he...

THE Westminster terror suspect is believed to have travelled from his home in the Midlands before ploughing the car he bought two months ago into cyclists and pedestrians. Armed cops arrested the man, aged in his 20s, after three people were left injured following the suspected terror attack outside Parliament this morning. Chilling footage showed the Ford Fiesta career through Westminster before mowing down pedestrians and smashing into a barrier during a "terror" rampage. Dramatic videos show the vehicle hurtling across lanes outside the Houses of Parliament before it knocked several cyclists off their bikes. The handcuffed driver is believed...

Facebook censored a pro-gun video of a user mocking the hysteria around how “easy” it allegedly is to convert rifles to automatic fire. The video can be seen here, but can’t be embedded because it “may show graphic violence or gore.” The censored video doesn’t show violence or gore. It shows Facebook user Andy Orlando disassembling a rifle and handgun while joking about converting them to automatic fire. In reality, he made the weapons completely useless. He pulled the slide spring out of his Sig handgun, and removed the bolt carrier group from his AR-15 rifle. The AR-15 is 100...

The Mississippi Second Amendment Weekend is underway, which means residents can buy guns and ammunition at retail without sales tax. The state of Mississippi nixes the sales tax on guns, ammunition, and specific hunting supplies each year during the last full weekend of August. According to the state’s Department of Revenue, the tax-free holiday began Friday, August 25, at 12:01 a.m. and ends at midnight on Sunday, August 27. Items eligible for tax-free purchase include bullets, shotgun shells, bows and bow accessories, bow parts, bow sights, crossbows, firearm parts, holsters, scopes, pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors, among other things....

The five-shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses. That’s when they become essentially a weapon of mass destruction. The problem with handguns is probably even worse than the problem of the AR-15. You shouldn’t have anybody who’s on a terrorist watch list be able to buy any gun at all.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently released a report highlighting state-by-state ownership of guns regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. Firearms and accessories covered under the NFA (hereafter: NFA-registered firearms) include machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers/suppressors, certain explosive devices, etc.

I love machine guns. They don’t call the selectors on automatic firearms “fun switches” for nothing, and I have yet to hand off a machine gun to someone and have it not bring a smile to their face (it brings me joy exposing people to full auto for the first time). For the sake of this article, the word “machine gun” will meet the ATF’s definition: Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.

One person was killed and nine injured after a vehicle crashed into a portable taco stand and parked vehicles tonight in the 300 block of S. Clarence Street, according to the L.A. Fire Department. The crash that was reportedat 9:25 p.m left two persons in critical condition and a third with a minor injury. The other six who were hurt declined to be transported to a hospital, according to LAFD. ABC 7 reports that a Nissan Altima crashed into people in front of the taco stand as well as vehicles near the stand.

The mid-late 1950s… Could there be a more optimistic time in United States history? I feel there’s no better rifle to illustrate the industry, innovation, and unbridled optimism of that time than the Armalite AR-10 7.62x51mm select-fire military rifle. Made of aerospace materials, using an advanced operating mechanism, and weighing in at an inadvisably light 7 pounds and change, unloaded, the AR-10 was an exercise in logic of the type best said “we have defeated Germany and Japan, and split the atom, why shouldn’t we do this?”

I was at a local indoor action match a couple weeks ago. This guy came over and commented on my Wiselite Sterling Mk4 and Zenith Firearms MKE Z-5RS. He asked about the MP5 clone and then asked "Want to see a real MK4 and MP5?" Yes, yes I would. He had his friend go fetch them. We talked a bit waiting for the friend to return and he showed me some photos of his collection on his phone. I mentioned that I am a writer for TFB and so he invited me to check out his collection. There are some...

In four states (New York, California, Massachusetts, and Arizona), it is illegal to carry nunchucks. Oddly, those same states have a total of 60,715 legally registered machine guns. Machine guns are one of six categories of “Title II” weapon, which are regulated federally under the National Firearms Act.

NEWPORT BEACH – Two people were in the Orange County Jail this week, after police stopped them in a van with automatic rifles and ammunition. The van contained seven AK-47 assault rifles, six 30-round high-capacity 7.62 caliber magazines, two 10-round magazines and more than 350 rounds of 7.62 caliber ammunition inside, Newport Beach police spokeswoman Jennifer Manzella said. Manzella said the arrests are significant because of the weapons seized. All of the guns were modified to fire in fully automatic mode, and one had a barrel less than 16 inches in length in violation of California state law, she said....

If only more Liberal Lefties could muster up the courage to step outside their ignorance and do what these young men did. They may learn something and find out, as these liberals did, that gun owners and enthusiasts aren’t the maniacs they though the. They we are actually nice folk who are not out to “murder” anyone with our evil guns.

SEE IT: ‘Come and take it, motherf--kers!’ Police chief curses liberals, sprays automatic weapons in foul-mouthed viral videos In a series of provocative videos, Gilberton, Pa., top cop Mark Kessler curses Secretary of State John Kerry and rants about 'libtards' and 'cry babies' before spraying automatic weapons into the distance.

The video clip shows how clueless Michael Bloomberg is. We may have known that, but it is entertaining to have him open his mouth and confirm it for us.

BOSTON (AP) -- As a former Massachusetts police chief heads to trial on manslaughter charges in the accidental shooting death of an 8-year-old boy at a gun fair, prosecutors and defense attorneys are wrangling over a horrific piece of evidence: a videotape of the shooting taken by the boy's father. Former Pelham police Chief Edward Fleury is scheduled to go on trial next week in the 2008 death of Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn. The boy was killed when he lost control of an Uzi at a gun fair and shot himself in the head.

Doctor Arrested on Grenade Charges Little Rock - A doctor who has been sanctioned by the state medical board was arrested after grenades were found in a field near his home, but authorities say the arrest is not tied to a recent car bombing that seriously wounded the board's chairman. Dr. Randeep Mann, an internal medicine specialist from Russellville, was arrested by federal agents on a charge of possession of unregistered firearms. He is expected to remain in federal custody at least until a bond hearing Monday in federal court in Little Rock. An ATF afidavit says agents interviewed Mann...
