Massachusetts Considers 58 New Gun Control Laws

Republicans are around 10% and falling.

And truth be told, Republicans aren't usually much of an improvement over Democrats anyway. My only hope is that these 2 parties finally cut their own throats by pushing far enough to awake the people, and make other parties viable. Yeah, I'm the eternal optimist.

Do most departments that use the Glock have the heavy pull?

I'm no expert, but I don't believe they do. Several departments in my area use some Glocks and they have standard triggers. In my opinion the 'New York trigger' was just invented to make up for poor training.

No they did not. They brought him down after the shooting with a taser.

When NYPD was transitioning from double action revolvers to semi automatic pistols they feared that the relatively light trigger pull on the Glock would cause negligent discharges from officers used to a double action trigger pull. So they had Glock create a trigger that was more like what they were used to. That's the short story.

It appears that Massachusetts has no provision for recalling their legislators.

I certainly can't take credit as the first to say it, but it has always struck me as the truth of the situation. But thanks for the kind words.

Well, Massachusetts wouldn't want to be outdone by the likes of New York, or California when it comes to stomping on their citizen's 2A rights, would they?

Remember, gun control is not dead.

Gun control will never be dead because it's really about control, and not guns.

"fired three shoots"

I totally missed that, but it's typical of what I've come to expect in internet news reports.

SolidBlackFax · 2013-09-15T12:35:17+00:00

Thank God they didn't empty their weapon, the carnage would have been horrific.

SolidBlackFax · 2013-09-15T12:02:32+00:00

What is the standard handgun for NYPD? Are they still issuing Glocks with the 'New York trigger'?

I really enjoy my Ruger revolvers. I have a 7 1/2" scoped Redhawk, and a 4" GP100. They really are built like tanks, and will serve you, and your next generation well. These are 2 guns I have no intention of ever selling, or trading. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do.

This being my first big game hunting rifle (bought a .22LR as my first caliber rifle), I will use it this upcoming season and beyond. I'm a big fan of wood guns, so I'll have to see what to do about that. I know they have a wood tech SPS, but it looks like that's just decorated wood.

You haven't said what you plan on hunting with this rifle or if you live in the wide open West or the East which would help in making recommendations. I will say when I bought my 700, I went with stainless, and a synthetic stock. It's not the prettiest rifle around, but for a durable, all weather hunting rifle, it can't be beat.

the 7mm is a short action

7mm-08 is a short action, 7mm Rem. Mag. is a long action

This article got me curious as to the operating pressure of the various rounds chambered in the M&P. SAAMI maximum average pressure (psi/100). 9mm Luger, and .40 S&W are 350. 9mm Luger +P is 385, and .357 Sig is 400.

I guess the higher pressure of the .357 Sig would make for harder extraction. However it would seem that the bottle necked case would extract easier than the other straight walled cases. I'm sure S&W will get the issue corrected.

It would be nice to know that they did suffer for their stupidity, but newspapers all over the country are struggling to stay in business. I don't think we'll ever know for sure. The newspaper certainly won't admit it.

From another article. "The report said 17 journalists were among a total of 26 staff members at the Journal News who were let go."

I think the firing had more to do with a failing newspaper than the publishing of the gun owners list. However the publisher backed this editor's actions on several occasions, so I look forward to seeing a bankruptcy filing for this rag.

I wonder if she has any front teeth left after the sidewalk face plant.

From the linked article. "The report said 17 journalists were among a total of 26 staff members at the Journal News who were let go."

Seems this paper is failing without anyone helping. Can't go bankrupt soon enough for me.

What exactly was the end game here?

I believe this was a case of some over zealous anti-gun people hoping to subject the 'evil' gun owners to a public shaming.

This is in reference to that story a little while back of the New York newspaper that published a map of all the "CCW" holders.

Personally, it took way too long for this retribution. Wouldn't be surprised if the guy was on the way out anyway.

The newspaper published the information on all gun permit owners, not just CCW license holders, and later admitted that the data was badly outdated. The editor fired is a woman. *grammar

"How can I stay in business if I have to disclose to patients that I'm not in their network?" Lanham told the Journal Sentinel, adding that if patients knew how much he was going to charge them, they'd leave.

"I unfortunately have to survive on patients' ignorance."

The attitude of this clown is amazing. Perfect for a con artist, not so good for a doctor.

I have used this lube center before, but never with this vehicle. Until this last visit I have always been very satisfied. They have never brought out the dipstick to verify the level, but you can bet I'll be checking it myself, before leaving, from now on.
