So, now we’ve got police going to the wrong address and shooting innocent civilians, and white civilians shooting innocent black kids who ring the wrong doorbell. The persistence of hate narratives and shoot-first-ask-questions-later knee jerk reactions show how absolutely dangerous an fueled gun society is. Their answer: More Guns! Because “guns aren’t the problem. People are the problem.” My question: So why in God’s name would you give guns to the problem?

Just a reminder, the Democrats, who have largely exclusively pushed for gun laws, have given us the following mess:

Guns must cause ear damage -- devices which lower the sound to just below the threshold of causing ear damage are illegal.

Guns with barrels less than 16" must be designed in a way that they are extra hard to aim, making it a much higher risk that you will shoot someone accidentally... Only guns longer than 16" can be easy to aim.

Yet somehow people are baffled when I say the democrats have largely done more harm to the topic of gun control than good... every time they propose or pass a law it is complete nonsensical, largely because they dont even bother to under the very thing they want to legislate.

If you could afford any gun, what handgun, and what rifle would you get?

Just finished my application for my gun conceal carry license. I have to admit, it will be really weird walking around with a loaded firearm every day. I have a feeling anyone who sees it on me will get offended or scared, maybe not though, I guess we will see.

Pretty much spot on. Always funny how anti-gun nuts always pretend like gun violence is the only violence that should be reasoned about the exact opposite of every other murder.

NICE! As much as I hate the right every once in a while they do something good. Apparently now states must issue permits to carry a handgun to anyone who requests it unless they have an explicit reason not to (like they have a criminal history)... This makes all states "shall issue" states!

This is great, am really excited to see the being expanded!

I mean... some truth to that... most of the "common sense" gun laws proposed are completely ignorant of why it is the way it is.

Ok decided to up the ante on my CQC ar-15... already have the red-dot installed (posting that image again for reference)... I decided im going to ad a flip-to-side 3x magnifier (got a monstrum brand as it was the only good quality magnifier in FDE I could find). I also have 45 degree FDE iron sights ill add as a backup.

I ordered the parts, ill share the final configuration when its done!

Going to try creating a sci-fi gun in MagicaCSG. I'm not very experienced in detailed hard-surface modeling, so it's going to be an interesting challenge.

Disclaimer: I hate real-life guns. My sci-fi gun will emit a peace beam. ✌️😉

More progress impressions will follow.

I reconfigured my AR-15 for CQC (Close Quarters Combat). I stripped everything off it that adds any weight, including iron sights, and moved to a Sig Sauer MSR red dot reflex.

US supreme court blocks ‘ghost gun’ makers again from selling at-home kits (www.theguardian.com)

The US Supreme Court on Monday barred two Texas-based manufacturers from selling products that can be quickly converted at home into firearms called “ghost guns”, granting a request by Joe Biden’s administration to once again block a federal judge’s order that had sided with companies....

As expected, a federal judge 👨🏾‍⚖️ struck down the state executive order banning in issued by the Governor.

👉🏾 Federal judge blocks New Mexico health order banning guns https://www.kcra.com/article/federal-judge-blocks-new-mexico-gun-ban/45126882

Regardless how one feels about , solutions to gun violence need to be addressed by the legislature, not the executive branch (whose job is to enforce the law).

Hopefully this inspires the legislature to take action.

will double taxes on guns & ammo, use the $ to pay for more security at public schools & various violence prevention programs under a new law Gov. signed Tue.

Fed govt already taxes sale of and ammunition at either 10% or 11%, depending on type of gun. The law Newsom signed adds another 11% tax on top of that — making it the only state w its own tax on guns & ammo”

👏🏻 Via Democracy Docket:

BREAKING: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signs a bill banning the open carry of near polling places.

It is now illegal in New Mexico to openly possess a firearm within 100 feet of a polling place and 50 feet of a drop box.

Fed appeals court ruled Biden admin lacked authority to adopt reg aimed at reining in privately made firearms called “ghost " that are difficult for law enforcement to trace..sided w group of firearm owners, gun rights groups & manufacturers in declaring rule “unlawful.”

The panel, comprised entirely of judges appointed by Trump, largely upheld Texas judge’s ruling against the rule…

So after a bit of tweaking I finished my AR-15 CQC (Close Quarter Combat). The main issue with the old configuration was the Monstrum 3X had really poor eye-boxing and the color was off.

Changes from the earlier configuration:

  • replaced the Monstrum 3x magnifier with a Sig Sauer Juliet3 flip-to-side magnifier

  • Added hybrid 3-point sling

  • Moved red dot and juliet3 closer to the eye giving it priority over the 45 degree backup irons in terms of placement

  • Removed fingershelf from 45 degree fore grip.
