London Riots

Anyone else starting to wonder if this is an elaborately staged show set up to win every photoshop contest ever held for the rest of time?
 
I have a feeling this is going to be like Watts back in '68. Where the rioters burned and looted their corner of the town. Then it took 30+ years for anyone to give a shit enough about the neighborhood to start building businesses back into Watts.

Still in many areas around Watts people have to take the bus for many miles to find a grocery store.
 
WHY IS NO ONE POSTING RIOT/MY LITTLE PONY CROSSOVER IMAGES?

I mean, I'd totally watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Violence.

the crap deal for those of us here in the states is that the extremist groups will use their misunderstood view of the UK political system, juxtaposed a'la Fox News/MSNBC style during the election campaign advertising season. The right will say "see what happens to a country without gun rights? This is the LOLbama socialism of the future!" and the left will say "This is what the Tea Partiers align themselves with!" through a convoluted Maddow-Matthews-esque gymnastics maneuver. And the whole damn thing becomes yet another political sideshow, derailing attention from real issues many countries face.
 
Define responsible and I may agree with you
The difference between supporting responsible gun ownership (I do live in WI, you know) such as for hunting or sport vs. supporting allowing guns to be carried into stadiums and requiring citizens to own a gun. The 'slippery slope' thought process on restricting things like extended clips and gun show sellers who sell weapons and not follow federal laws doesn't really fly with me. People who oppose gun show sale restrictions, want the extended clips for hand guns, and oppose restricting the mentally handicapped or ill from owning deadly weapons scare the shit out of me.

You want weapons that are dangerous? That's fine, so long as you show you are responsible and adult enough to handle that responsibility.
 
What is the big deal with mods? Most of them are expensive as hell, many require advanced gun smithing skills, and even then half of them don't work half the time unless you know the parts intimately enough to maintain them. Besides, it doesn't tackle the fact that a criminal is going to be able to get the stuff anyway, as they don't exactly have to worry about buying from a legitimate source.

Seriously... you show me a guy who wants to use a Beta C mag on his gun during a crime and I'll show you a guy who doesn't care if his gun jams, how much more it weighs, if anyone spots it before they pull it, spending $250 per a mag, or getting an extra 5-10 tacked onto his sentence just for using the gun.

I'm totally with you on the selling restrictions for mentally handicapped/ill and closing the gun show loopholes though.
 
I carry a RIO 1911 cs with hornaday self defense hollow points. I usually don't carry a spare mag unless I wear my khaki pants though because they have all the extra pockets and the spare mag holder I have is uncomfortable to wear. but I would always CC my 1911 in my IWB holsters and carry my 40 in a pocket holster along with the spare mags for both if I really felt paranoid, but I don't.

Also, congrats Wi for finally passing a CC law (even though OC is perfectly legal there) I can't wait till I can legally CC in Wi when I'm there visiting wifes side of the family, come on Nov. 1st!

I'm also for closing the gun show loophole if they do it the right way and make transferring a firearm between family members legal without the NIC BS that I don't even have to go through because I hold a CHL so none of it really applies to me except filling out the paperwork without my social on it and watch them not have to call that number that's pointless because a lot of states don't even update it correctly so even people that should be on the list aren't because states putting mental people on the list is voluntary. I'm ranting, it's a hot button topic for me, sorry
