With the recent gun control hysteria, ARs are getting harder to find. As an alternative, don’t miss the Mauser – they are hardy, accurate, can be sporterized and customized, and are available in calibers for which finding ammunition isn’t a great challenge. The post Editor’s Pick: ARs Sold Out? Think Mauser! appeared first on Gun Digest – We Know Guns So You Know Guns.

Turkish Delight
I was recently given the chance to test fire a SARB6P. I was at my favorite gun shop and I was told basically to take this gun home and a box of bangs and report back. I was in the right place at the right time and I sure like when that happens.The SARB6P is a compact single-action/double 9mm from SAR (Sarsilmaz) Arms out of Istanbul, Turkey. SAR Arms has been around since 1880. This was one of several of the Rockledge Florida-based importer EAA ( https://eaacorp.com ) guns in the display case at my shop. The European American Armory corporation also imports Tanfoglio.The “sarby” that I test fired is…

Quote of the Day – Empathy
“What kind of empathetic people exploit the occasion of murdered children and a distraught public as the proper time to ask for support of their agenda?”- Howard NemerovHoward asks a great question here at the end of his excellent piece. The answer? People who have no empathy for those murdered. Anti-gun politicians like Feinstein, Cuomo and their ilk do not care one bit about those killed. They only care about two things. 1. Doing what is politically expedient so that they can continue to hold power. 2. Disarming their constituents.
Gun Control in New York
So a crazy guy in upstate New York sets his house ablaze, lures firefighters there, then ambushes them. The response is the usual. Ban the guns! Ban the guns! Ban the Guns! they say.What the article doesn’t mention is that the murderer, William Spengler was a convicted felon. He bludgeoned his grandmother to death with a hammer back in 1981.Oh, and he said this,”I still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down, and do what I like doing best, killing people.”Evil folks. Evil. You cannot stop a man like this with more laws. He could have methodically set fire to every house in the neighborhood, and liked it. We should all be happy he didn’t do…

Women’s Outdoor and Shooting Industry Dinner (SHOT Show)
The event organizer was very unhappy with me that I posted about this event. I thought it was a public event, it apparently is not and so I have removed the invite. I was not trying to be rude or disrespectful, just doing my best to publicize a new event on the most read gun blog online.

The police report – HERE Damn only 36 years old. Not that much other than me… I didn’t know the guy, but from the YouTube videos I saw him in, and the things I read about him he seemed like a class act. My condolences to his friends and family.

“Yayasan Galuh Rehabilitation Center is an impoverished mental health facility based in Bekasi, Indonesia that hosts over 250 patients. Most come from poor families no longer interested in managing their conditions, or are unable. Some patients are homeless, deposited after being taken off streets by police. The only medical treatment received is for skin conditions. No assessments, psychotherapy or psychiatric medications is available. Over one third of the patients are shackled in chains. These measures are implemented to those thought to be violent, uncontrollable and dangerous.” (Photo and caption by Wendell Phillips/ National Geographic Photo Contest)
A Big Steaming Pile Of Fail
How would an American such as myself describe the criminal justice system in the Philippines? I’d be forced to say that it is a police state. Even so, it is a particularly ineffective police state. Even the United Nations has to admit that safety is hard to come by in that country. Follow that link and you will see a UN sponsored survey that has 10.5{660353129f8d892044c993645a1c75194301fec6786a7f617c15adde0b0011e9} of Filipino families report being victims of property crime every 6 months. Which means, of course, that more than one out of every five households in the nation have something stolen from them every year. So where are the police? According to this news article, a deranged drug addict engaged in a shooting spree…
