“Other”

My interest at the time was determining the effectiveness public firearms safety training. I was advocating for passage of a law to provide basic firearms safety training in schools and needed to know what I was talking about. I was quite surprised by the data. We are a nation of arms. It is one...

So I have some old data that is still relevant in 2022 with the original topic. I contend it is not all doom and gloom, and most of what the media tells is is hyperbole that is constantly skewed in one direction. Over the last fifty years firearms enthusiasts have made great strides to the...

I have read that before. DOJ has other data that points to the root causes being embedded in urban criminal culture. The data is what it is and generally points to urban crime and violence driving the numbers. In my mind the solution lies in not hampering the criminal justice system With...

A good portion of “child” deaths by firearms is mutual combat by juvenile criminals/gangs, using a firearm obtained illegally.

At the time of the Parkland shooting, I read there were between 13-15 million AR pattern rifles in civilian hands. I am personally against raising the age to 21 because historically 18-21 year olds fight our wars. I want them to train to be safe and proficient with firearms.With or without...

Two points he doesn’t cover. 1: The worst school massacre in US history didn’t use a gun. Google “Bath School Disaster”. 2: The people wanting to take your guns are planning on keeping theirs.

Well, the “Trump years” were the good years.

So, coming from one of those civilized countries that is not burdened with the right to keep and bear arms, what is your opinion on America’s Second Amendment?

I could not believe he said that, so I checked. Yep, he sure did. And more lies about the second amendment. 9mm is considered a mouse gun by today’s standards. I’ve dealt with a sucking chest wound, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and a plethora of injuries from gunshot wounds, but never seen or...

An easy solution is enforcing the laws we have now. The liberal prosecutor paradigm of going easy on crime/criminals knowing it will increase gun crimes to justify calling for more gun laws. Before asking for a legislative solution prosecutors should use the tools the legislature has already...

2a. I saw a quote I like that is relevant. ”If you can force people to accept absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities”

I think I have articulated my position well enough using fact instead of hyperbole. So I’ll just throw out one of my favorite meme.

My son was not allowed to have any toy guns that looked like real guns. Any time he wanted he could handle, hold and fondle any gun I had, after me clearing it. Any time he wanted to go shooting, we would go shooting. As a consequence of rule number one, he made me trace my guns on wood and cut...

My M1A will out shoot the Husqvarna all day long. With the M1A I can consistently place rounds on a 1964 Pontiac car door (blue in color) at 1200 yards.

I guess you missed the riots of 2020 that caused billions of dollars damage and killed several people. The M16 (not AR15) replaced the M14 because it is lighter and the smaller .22 caliber vs .30 ammunition would substantially increase a soldiers load out. A great advantage of the M16 and its...

NFPA 101, Life Safety Code is the gold standard. Panic hardware is the push bars on exit doors that secure the door from the outside while allowing emergency egress is absolutely permitted. Additionally it can be alarmed to prevent casual use, as what happened in Uvalde. There is absolutely...
