To be fair, Wes, I now fully expect you to go after EVERY single politician for bad handling. I’ve seen many on the left with horrible trigger discipline, muzzle sweeping the room, etc. Sorry if snarky but even if it is bad form, theres been a lot worse. Actually, perhaps a top 10 bad/unsafe handling article every so…

The state of Texas respectfully disagrees with you, Wes. https://tpwd.texas.gov/education/hunt…

I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m going to defend Ted Cruz. The action is open, the gun is unloaded, his finger is nowhere near the trigger and that’s how a lot of people carry an unloaded bird gun. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go shower because I feel dirty.

The Breach is open, the gun is clearly not loaded. This is a proper way to hold an unloaded breach weapon like he has here. Stick to what you know Gizmodo. Guns are a little out of your wheelhouse.

Plus, worst case scenario, the lighter still sparks even after it's out of fuel. Pop the metal collar off, hold it close to your tinder, and bam (after several tries)! One-handed fire striker.

I think being a victim is a state of mind and others can sense it .... I know people that are just magnets for trouble, it seems like problematic people are drawn to them. On the other hand I’ve traveled extensively for living, have always lived in big cities, never had a problem ...

Defense is something you need to contend with in a mass emergency situation. More often than not just having a gun is more than enough to scare off potential human threats.

Although I’d never name my kids after guns, the whole gawker being “anti gun” gives me very creepy political agenda vibes. Surely journalists as smart as you Leah can realize that banning weapons, isn’t going to solve the underlying social and economic problems that cause violence. Someone who wants to kill people…

I had to click the source article for the dang location of the topic... Why does Gawker employ such craptastic writers?!

Saying Coltsville sits in ruin “because guns” is like saying Detroit is shitsville because cars.

After the Colt company moved its factory to the outskirts of Hartford, a years-long battle to turn the factory and village into a national park consistently stalled due to controversy over celebrating a place where so many guns were manufactured.

They usually are.

Yeah, governments are always the good side.

Cop here. Lizard_King can post all the crap he wants. He can describe in detail how he would like to kill me and my colleagues. Whatever.

You mean by posting gifs to a forum that they won’t read? You are so brave!

Guys, did you know you can even go into stores and buy these things?!

Gunbroker is awesome—I've bought most of my firearms from there. Unless you know an FFL/dealer, it's often the best market price.

I know, right? I love gun broker.com! I have bought several guns from there. And yes- for anyone who is wondering, you cannot buy a gun from gun broker without it passing through a local FFL and the laws of your state. If your state needs a background check, you have to get one. The guns I bought had to be…
