 As though guns need expensive technology to make them not fire. You could hand Alec Baldwin a "smart gun" and it will still be as stupid as he is. [More]

Most right-on comment I've read in a while...

And the mag ain't bad, either.

And Now, the Rest of the Story

Most Recent Smart Gun Fail Illustrates Continuing ‘Journalism’ Fail

The operator clearly confirms he intends to fire “two rounds.” He fires one shot. Enlarging the video to full screen appears to show him squeezing the trigger a second time with no results. [More]

Because nothing improves functionality like inhibitors!

Not Such a Smart Alec Anymore

 “Alec Baldwin intentionally, without just cause or excuse, cocked and fired and loaded gun even though the upcoming scene to be filmed did not call for the cocking and firing of a firearm.” [More]

I can't recall ever being happy to see Gloria Allred represent someone before.

Well... there was one time...

Escape from New York

 New York will allow people to sue gun manufacturers for violence [More]

That punk Cuomo doesn't go anywhere without a taxpayer-funded armed security detail, does he?

The industry needs to cease doing business with the State of New York. It won't, of course, because "rope-selling capitalists," but it should. And seeing who has no problem servicing the oppressors should be loudly pointed out so that gun owners can make alternative choices. `

One segment of the industry that might be more "doable": Ammunition. Demand is such that if all manufacturers followed Steve Hornady's lead, they still wouldn't be able to keep up with demand and wouldn't lose a dime. 

Play it smart and reap publicity and gratitude patronage benefits.

 BeSMART is a gateway into gun control advocacy. Contrary to what these people say, they use BeSMART to trick unsuspecting people in pro-2A circles into supporting their program.  [More]

So ignorance and avoidance are not the answers?

An Inconvenient Truth

 Pennsylvania Voters Can Approve Constitutional Amendment To Limit Governor's Emergency Powers [More]

The problem is, if they're dumb enough to elect anti-gun Democrat Tom Wolf, what says they're smart enough to vote on a Constitutional amendment?

You'll Have to Forgive My Cognitive Dissonance Confusion Here

 In addition, Gun for Hire owner Anthony Colandro, who is a Stigma Free Task Force member, also supports the Be SMART gun safety initiative, and will provide this vital information to range patrons. [More]

Teaming up with Moms Demand and publicly validating those working for "lock up your safety" to be the "law"? Seriously? Who does he think he is, Rob Pincus?

First, he was endorsed by the "Saviors", who reject immigration voting demographic changes as a "single issue" concern, despite his publicly stated position:

As for as immigration goes, yes, the politicians should pay the price for not securing out Nation for the immigration invasion. We now have a three-tier system in the US. Political elites first, criminals and illegals second, and we the tax paying law-abiding citizens third. I have had enough!

He also promised he would "inform members of [his] performance and voting record [and] let us know when he dissent[ed with NRA management] and why":

Yes I will, and I will use my podcast and all social media platforms to state my voting record as well as my dissent. I am an open book with no filter. I am not doing this for the title or the free Danish. If elected I represent the members not management. Something our politicians long forgot as well.

Anybody see that after he was seated?

So what falls on me now is did I get suckered?

Feel free to post a comment to tell me (and everyone who reads this) why I've got you all wrong, Mr. Colandro.

Yep, Chicago. And note the races weren't at each others' throats in such environments.

It's bad enough the MILMs have partnered with a hate hoax co-conspirator.

Opposite Day "progressives" demonstrate their "smart" gun safety advocacy skills. 

I figured out what this reminds me of:

Opposite Day Catches Up with 'Progressives'

[H]ow smart does urban living, mass transit, open borders, reusable straws, reusable grocery bags, reusable water bottles, gun restrictions, over-regulated housing, using the Centers for Disease Control to fight gun violence, and outsourcing to China look now? [More]

The question for me is are they capable of learning anything, or will it be Dopey Joe and VP Vag in November?

Democrat Feeding Frenzy on Guns Gives GOP Chance to Quell Self-Created Doubts

Those are precisely what GOP sellouts have been proffering under the false premise that if we don’t preemptively surrender on those fronts, the Democrats will do something really, really bad to gun owners. And most of those voters have signaled back there will be no real political cost for disarmament bills as long as they’re “bipartisan.” [More]

Unfortunately, that presupposes the Stupid Party will be smart and/or honest enough to see and then seize the opportunity.

We're the Only Ones Run Down Enough

Fremont police Tesla runs low on juice during high-speed chase - ‘I am down to six miles of battery,’ officer said during highway pursuit [More]

And $20K more for a used Tesla than a new Explorer? Good thing it's not their money!

Now think if it had been his "smart gun" that wasn't charged -- oh wait, the plan is to only require those for the rest of us...

Yeah, about That 'Securing the Blessings of Liberty' Bit...

State Wants To Be Able To Take Your Car Away if You Go 5 Miles over Speed Limit [More]

I've wondered when they were going to get around to comparing entry and exit times on toll roads for the purpose of assessing fines, and if you use Google Maps to navigate routes, you'll notice it's started displaying your speed. How soon until it turns you in?

A bill was just introduced in the Senate to electronically limit truck speeds. And what have some of us been saying for years about applying that technology to mandatory "smart gun" shutoffs?

Biden ‘Smart Gun’ Comment Shows How Dumb He is on Guns

Unsurprisingly, Biden either doesn’t know what he’s talking about or he does and doesn’t care that he’s spreading lies. [More]

To be fair, his blathering has made me think of one "gun control" mandate I could really get behind.

No Argument!

Smart gun debate reignites in N.J. with bill requiring gun shops to sell them [More]

How can it be a "debate" if you have no choice but to agree?

And when will gun manufacturers step up to the plate and tell these tyrannical bastards to arm their own damned oppressors?

How did they get hold of a real gun to validate their contentions and then get it into the school?  Or didn't they, and the whole "project" is just speculative political bs?
