any significance to '9:29'?

Another “think tank,” this one called the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), has come out for total civilian disarmament and repeal of the Second Amendment.
What’s new about that? ISPU is openly pro-Muslim, and the ISPU writer is a criminal defense attorney who argues for repealing parts of the Bill of Rights.
You can read the whole article, entitled “In the Fight Against Terrorism, Some Rights Must Be Repealed,” by Junaid Afeef, on the ISPU website:
http://www.ispu.us/pages/articles/2914/articleDetailPB.html
A JPFO supporter sent us the link, and we did read the article, looking for:
a. Inaccurate “facts” b. Missing data and support for factual claims c. Tricks in shifting the context or changing the subject d. Statements of opinion presented as though they were unquestionable facts e. Insults, innuendoes and smears f. Key facts or considerations that are totally ignored g. Logic errors
We found many errors, fallacies, propaganda tricks, and an outright lie or two. When you read the piece, see how many you can find.
Or – you can go directly to our analysis and response to the article, entitled “A Muslim Writer Tells America: Drop Your Guns and Give Up" at www.jpfo.org/dropguns.pdf
We take the ISPU article apart, paragraph by paragraph. Some of the points may be familiar to you, but there are a few new twists.
Do we expect to convince ISPU or Mr. Afeef of the errors of their position? Not really. We are publishing a response so that gun owners and rights supporters can keep their intellectual guns polished and powder dry.
The enemies of the Bill of Rights come in all flavors. We can never rest, thinking that we have answered all of their challenges.
Let us know what you think after reading our response.

Battle of Vienna 1683: The Turks lost about 15,000 men in the fighting, compared to approximately 4,000 for the Habsburg-Polish forces. Where is Leopold I when we need him?
However, those weapons aren't going to do a whole lot of good if you want to keep those human predators at distance more than about 30 yards away from you. A semi-auto rifle in a common military caliber (5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, .30-06) is probably the best way to go. There are a lot of opinions of which is better, the smaller 5.56mm because it's higher velocity and you can carry more ammo, or the .30/7.62x51 rifles (my preference) because they have better range, maintain their stopping power at long ranges, can punch through cover that would stop the smaller 5.56, etc. That's a matter for you to decide for yourself...but it's a lot of fun doing the research.
As far as pistols go, the most important thing to remember is that a handgun is a last ditch defense weapon. Forget the movie stuff about picking off a bad guy at 50 yards with a snub nosed revolver or Colt Peacemaker. Any cop will tell you that most shootings take place at ranges less than 7 yards. Get a big 'un, with plenty of stopping power to knock that bad guy on his a** so he can't close those last 7 yards and do some damage to you. Personally, I like .45 ACP, .357 and really want to get a .40 SW. IMNSHO, one of the dumbest things the Army did while I was in boots was going to that 9mm mopuse gun over the good ol' M1911a1 .45ACP.
Revolver vs. auto loader is a matter of personal preference. Revolvers are mechanically simpler and less prone to jamming and failures, but generally autoloaders have greater ammo capacity and can put more lead downrange faster. Of course, 15 rounds from a Glock 9mm mouse gun won't do you any good if you don't hit your target, and a single, well-placed .357 Winchester Silvertip 158-grain bullet can drop a scumbag in his tracks...but you have to choose for yourself.
Finally, get pleanty of ammo for all weapons; keep 1000 rounds or more on hand for each rifle you have, and 500 or more for each pistol and shotgun. Additionally, get enough ammo to get proficient with each weapons, 'cause the baddest M-1A or FAL isn't going to do you a bit of good if you can't hit squat with it farther than 100 yards out.
All this can obviously get quite spendy, so you'll have to prioritize for yourself which you get first. Just don't get the weapon without the ammo. Each pistol should have a holster and each rifle a sling, 'cause if you don't have a way to easily carry your weapon(s), you'll set it down, and not have it when you need it. Cleaning supplies, spare mags and speed loaders and spare parts kits are all good ideas as well.
It's not cheap to get all this...I've collected mine over a period of several years, and there's still stuff I'd feel better if I had. But like they say, too many guins still ain't enough. Enjoy your research!

Who did the Branch Davidians attack? Who attacked them for exercising their Second Amendment rights?
Hmmm?
Howdy!
When pigs fly over your mosque buddy.
Try to get this one past the NRA association.
I wonder how many Democrats and RINO's are going to be in quick agreement.
It is not just that. The whole bill of rights is incompatible with islam.
But more importantly, islam is utterly incompatible with the bill of rights.
9:29 in Koran calls for the killing of non-Muslims.
