When a gun becomes a personal guided missile system

When a gun becomes a personal guided missile system

There’s an amazing new wifi-enabled, laser-guided, ipad-controlled, USB-ported shooting thing that locks onto a target, can be activated to shoot from any web browser, is remote-controlled,  factors  in up to the second satellite weather conditions to make small targeting adjustments, determines when to shoot, and fires high caliber bullets with deadly force. The maker calls it a gun: the TrackingPoint sniper rifle.  Here it is in [...]

Reader POV: “Why wait, marchers, bring it on now…”

Michael Berglin Let’s revisit these planned armed marches issue(s). One would ask what is the NRA‘s involvement for they seem to be pushing for this type of confrontation with their foaming, blathering about gun confiscation, losing rights, etc. Has the NRA fulminated the battle cry these misguided people are using? It seems so. Is the [...]

Let’s be real: it’s not the guns, it’s the people

I read what I hoped would be a good article this morning that had in its title the following phrase: “The Debate Isn’t About Guns, But Who’s Holding Them” I thought, ‘exactly’ and prepared to read someone’s succinct insights on the issue. Too bad the article wasn’t as compelling as the subtitle. So I will [...]

Commentary – I don’t like the NRA – Arthur Russell

Arthur Russell Thinkin- I don’t like the NRA. Don’t get me wrong, they’re supporting the 2nd amendment, they’re well funded, organized, blablabla. I guess that’s all a good thing. I want to take a walk down memory lane with you, though. In the 90′s, we had gun registration come up. The NRA came out as [...]

You can always tell which side of an argument to support because the acceptable side will use complete facts and sound logic to support their position and the erroneous side will ignore and twists facts and [...]

Reader POV: “..we scream “loss of freedom..”

Michael Berglin America is a land of contradictions – something goes wrong and we scream to the government, “DO SOMETHING”, and when the government does, we scream “loss of freedom”. Take 9/11 for example… After that, we instituted TSA, x-ray of baggage, and the no fly list. Timothy McVeigh and Oklahoma City, the government institutes [...]

Reader POV: “…an assault weapon is defined as…”

John Fernald You may have already heard this but an assault weapon is defined as one have the capaility of automatic fire. Such weapons are not available to the general public, so there is no more need to defend tem than there is a rocket propelled grenade. The current attack by the left against “assault-style” [...]

Reader POV: “..darn hard to get a straight answer from the guncult as to what freedoms have they lost..”

Michael Berglin Why is it so darn hard to get a straight answer from the guncult as to what freedoms have they lost that requires a gun? They respond with things like calling people idiots and other flaming comments, etc., or they launch into a dribble about the 2A, or paranoid blatherings about revolution, armed [...]
