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…

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…

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.

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…
