Magazine Drive
In light of the folks (Carolyn McCarthy, Dick Cheney, Peggy Noonan, Bob Brady, and dozens more) willing to use the awful Tucson murders to try to take away more liberties from Americans, I am giving away five politically-incorrect, full-capacity G3 magazines that they wish were illegal.
1. The first five of my Facebook friends in the Knoxville area to comment below and ask for one will get one, free of charge.
2. If you already own at least one mag (pistol or rifle) that holds more than ten rounds, you are ineligible. .22 ...LR mags don't count against you.
3. Limit one per household.
4. If there is enough interest, I might do this again in the future.

This is why we stock up on multiples, cases of ammunition and stuff, right?
ReplyDeleteIf and when it hits the fan, I might say "I told you so," but I'll also say "You don't have a lifejacket? Here, I brought a spare."
A truly commendable project, albeit
ReplyDeletelimited to those who tolerate FaceBook.
Given a choice of a Sig P228 with magazines of 13+1 or 15+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, or a Sig P239 with 8+1 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition with two spare magazines for each weapon, my choice for concealed carry is the smaller quantity of the larger caliber in the smaller weapon.
ReplyDeleteHowever, that choice is mine to make, not any government, unless they are issuing the weapon and providing the ammunition and magazines. Perhaps the Coast Guard has the better compromise of a Sig P229 with 12+1 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition, but that is the choice they made for duty carry by their personnel, not for off-duty carry by their personnel.
I think the nuts are concentrating on the magazine capacity because that is the one thing that truly stands out about the shooting. If Loughner was wearing a shiny gold Kung Fu outfit with an open hand embroidered on the back of the shirt, they would be trying to outlaw Kung Fu outfits and reruns of David Carradine's show (Kung Fu) would be taken off the air.
ReplyDeleteOne other thing that stood out to me was that in Arizona, where shall issue of carry permits has been the norm for some time and recently "constitutional carry" has become law, not one person in that crowd actually had the means to fire on Loughner from the start. How many deaths and injuries could have been prevented if Loughner had been stopped at around discharge number 10, or 5, from his firearm?
