DOJ’s New Regulations

Michael Savage — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:11:28 +0000

There isn’t a whole lot I want to say on this subject but I do just want to make a quick note. The Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security can’t even keep illegal immigrants out of the United States but they think they can keep completely legal firearms from entering Mexico? Rather amusing and funny if you think about it.

Obama on Guns

Michael Savage — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:02:06 +0000

There’s not much I praise President Obama for, but there is one thing he has done a good job of doing and that’s staying out of the gun issue. We all know what Obama’s stance on firearms as a whole but since becoming President, even as candidate Obama, he has stayed as far as possible away from the Gun issue.

With the slight exception of the gaff he made about people clinging to their religion and their guns during the 2008 campaign.

In an ABC News article published today they criticize Obama for his inaction after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

But don’t worry! Paul Helmke from the wonderful, change making, Brady Campaign is here to call for action and change the world.

“We’re coming on the six-month mark since the shooting and still nothing from the administration,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign. “It’s time for some action.”

I love the notion here that more government action is the answer. The best part of this the statement is lack of acknowledgment of the fact that a government failure is the reason Jared Lee Loughner was able to acquire a firearm in the first place. He was deemed “unqualified” for military service and was asked by administrators of a local community college to obtain mental health clearance. Why the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) didn’t have this information and why he wasn’t denied is beyond me.

Back to the point, President Obama isn’t going to take on the gun issue during an election year. Especially with his anti-gun views and America being such a pro-gun country.

Why Glock with “The Gunny”

Michael Savage — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:31:15 +0000

“The Gunny” is rather famous in the gun world these days. Mainly known for his military background and his endless campaign to support and advertise/be the poster boy for Glock.

I personally love Glocks and I consistently get the “Why should I buy a Glock?” question and I usually take the time to explain it in person but since there are already a million articles and reasons to buy a Glock I never wrote about it. But I did come across the Gunny telling you why so I thought I’d share.

Mexican President wants U.S. Background Checks at Gun Shows

Michael Savage — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:28:08 +0000

First off, where does the Mexican President get the nerve to tell the United States that our guns laws aren’t strict enough? How can someone from a country so taken over by drug cartels begin to tell us how we should do things?

“I accuse the U.S. weapons industry of (responsibility for) the deaths of thousands of people that are occurring in Mexico,” Calderon said. “It is for profit, for the profits that it makes for the weapons industry.”

I love the implied notion that the U.S. weapons makers wanted the guns to go to Mexico to cause problems and all they care about are profits. It’s amazing what politicians, even foreign ones, say to push the blame on someone or something else so it doesn’t look like they are losing control of their country.

Calderon endorsed calls for reinstating the ban on domestic sales of assault rifles, saying its expiration in 2004 may have played a roll in the increase of drug violence in Mexico.

Maybe if he was more concerned over securing the U.S./Mexico border in the first place they wouldn’t have as serious of a gun problem. Not to mention the U.S. assault rifle ban under President Clinton was nothing more than a dog and pony show to shut up the hippies. It had no real effect on crime rates or violent crimes committed with firearms, not surprising though considering less than 1% of all firearm related crimes were committed with so call “assault rifles”.

5 Must have Concealed Carry Holster Features

Michael Savage — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 15:26:42 +0000

My long time Concealed Carry friends will say they own lots of holsters because they cannot find one that quite satisfies their needs. Consider the following (5) features if your in the market for a holster.

Keep in mind that Comfort is essential for all day use during all seasons while sitting, standing or moving. You will not wear a holster at all times unless it is comfortable throughout the year and completely manageable.
Concealment is most difficult to achieve while wearing summer clothing. Keep this in mind while shopping during cooler seasons. Some holsters are not at all practical in warmer climates.
Access is extremely important. Your weapon must be readily available at all times whether sitting, standing or moving.
Dress Requirement considerations should include your current wardrobe to avoid additional costs. Some “inside the waistband” designs require wearing larger trousers for comfort and avoiding weapon visibility. Special vests and cargo style trousers are a dead giveaway that you are carrying a concealed weapon.

Universal Size gun holsters can be a great choice however your weapon must fit properly to avoid dumping it. They can also be purchased within minimal delivery time and be used for more than one model. This feature can help save cost and avoid the need for another holster.

EOTech XPS3-2 Holographic Sight

Michael Savage — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 19:22:37 +0000

So, you have gone through the motions of justifying the purchase of a ‘Modern Sporting Rifle’ for home defense. Perhaps your property is big enough that a shotgun might not reach out and touch someone at distance. Or perhaps the look of a black gun will even further intimate any intruder to go farther. But really, say what you will, it is badass to be able to play with the same equipment our troops use to annihilate the bad guys in the sandbox.

For fast target acquisition, the big debate has always been red-dot sight vs. holographic sight (a.k.a. Aimpoint vs. Eotech). Red-dot sights do have their advantages in size, weight, and battery life. But for the cool factor, nothing is like the Eotech. Having an electronic heads-up target reticle in a window that is basically bomb-proof rules in Fallujah and the range. At the MSRP of $609, it is the coolest technology at about half the price of the Jesus scopes (a.k.a. the Trijicon ACOG).
