Add to the list of federal agencies buying ammunition: the U.S. Postal Service. The notice of intent to solicit proposals was actually posted back in February, and the USPS does have the Postal Inspection Service (who I’ve always heard are some of the least-fun federal employees to interact with), so it’s not that outlandish an idea that they’d need ammo, but I like the idea of mail carriers in their shorts and socks and pith helmets going about armed.

Moms Demand Action: Emotion FTW A hat tip to joehuffman.org for pointing out the absurd in this article from ABCnews. It quotes Shannon Watts as saying the following: “I think the NRA should be very afraid of Americans, who’ve had enough of the gun violence in this country and in particular moms,” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action and a board member for Everytown for Gun Safety, said. “Moms are afraid our children will be taken away and in the end, I think that’s the emotion that will win the debate. This Is What A Gun Owner Looks Like, Too I am a 23 year old guy and I identify as “liberal” as there is really no better term for where my political mindset would fall.

Disgruntled Gamer SWATs Rival “Long Island police dispatched helicopters, emergency vehicles and an army of cops to a home where someone called in a bloody rampage on Tuesday,” nypost.com reports. Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Dallas Archer It’s been gratifying to see how broadly TTAG’s readership has expanded. It’s good to know our mission of telling the truth about guns and making the case for the safety, fun and utility of firearms is reaching a wider audience.

Question of the Day: Did SIG’s Arm Brace Kill the 16″ Pistol Caliber Carbine? SIG SAUER is about to launch their new MPX firearm in 9mm, and there’s a problem. The gun was designed to work with an extremely short barrel, so all of their intended models use that same barrel length — the only difference is that the “rifle” version for the commercial market was going to include a gigantic muzzle brake that can be converted into a silencer later down the line and bring the overall length to the legally required 16 inches. |
