Proposed Ammo Ban!
Scared you huh? Just kidding!
Now in spite of the recent attempt of the Anti Gun Folks effects to give us a hard time lately. (I have to give them credit thou. It was pretty crafty to go after the Ammo Supply. You Sneaky Bastards!)
The average American has a vast ocean of choices to choose on what kind of ammo to feed their guns with.
Back in the days. (God what a bullshit term that this) Since you basically had only a few real sources of ammo available.
Remington , Norma, Winchester, Western and a few others, Besides the huge amount of surplus ammo that was for sale. The good news back then was it was all relatively cheap too.
This almost makes me sick. Looking at this prices compared to what we have to pay today!
Now if you were a cheap Bastard as I am.
If you looked around some pretty hard at some very strange places at times.
You could find stuff like Surplus 30-06 for around 5 bucks or even less per ammo can full.
There was also it seemed to me. An ocean of 9 mm ammo and AK-47 ammo too to be had also at very reasonable prices.
But sadly those days are waning away.
But on the other side of the coin. It was not the best stuff in the world either. A lot of it having corrosive primers. That and a lot of it, You would have to throw away for safety reasons. 
Also the bullets them selves would not always work the way you wanted. When you went out shooting with it.
Like the time I shot at a wild pig and found out that 30-06 AP ammo would go right thru the pig. The pig then decided that it wanted to go see Oregon and almost made it. (This occurrence happened down in the San Diego Area by the way. Almost 30 years ago.)
But now a days. It is a whole different picture. When folks at Hornady came around & basically revolutionized the science of bullet making. Since in the ancient days. If you wanted you get consist results with your ammo. Then you had to reload your own.
Now these brands work for me. Hopefully they might work out all right for you also.
But I suggest that you do your checking own deciding about this. Because you never know how Senile I just might be.
Sellier & Bellot – I have tried their Pistol ammo and it does a good job. It’s from the Czech Republic.
Fiocchi – Another good source of reliable pistol ammo
Hornady – Inventor of the 6.5 Creedmoore Round. I think that they are the gold standard right now.
Winchester- I have been using them for a while now. Generally they do a good if unspectacular job.
Black Hills – When ever I see their 223 ammo for sale. I break out the Credit Card. Its hard to find out here in the Left Coast. But there is a reason. Its that good!
IMI Ammunition – This is the ammo that the Israeli use in the field. It does a good job. But it can leave a clean up job after wards when you clean your gun. It is usually comes in bulk form and is very reasonably priced.
How to Fight Terrorism the Russian Way

Some are aware of the terrorist bombing in a St. Petersburg, Russia shopping center December 27.
The subsequent comment by Russian president Vladimir Putin, that terrorists should be “liquidated on the spot” if they pose “an immediate danger to others,” underscores the different attitude with which Russians pursue their “war on terror,” at least until Donald Trump took office.
Trump has followed through with his promise to “bomb the [s—] out of ISIS,” leaving ISIS with only 2 percent of the territory it once held in its so-called “caliphate,” and its fighters left in Syria and Iraq number now only about 1,000.
Trump effected this set of circumstances by changing “rules of engagement,” saving American lives and costing more enemy lives.
While American forces can now engage the enemy with greater latitude, not having to wait for approval from Washington bureaucrats, the United States can still learn from the ruthless ways in which Russia conducts war.
A case in point is the September 2004 hostage-taking at a school in Beslan, Republic of South Ossetia, located in the long troubled north Caucasus region.
The attack, by 32 armed terrorists linked to separatists in the nearby republic of Chechnya, resulted in the taking of over 1,000 hostages, including family members attending a celebration of the opening day at the primary and secondary school.
The attack resulted in the deaths of more than 330 people, mostly children. Following reports of explosions within the explosives-rigged gymnasium, Russian forces responded with heavy machine guns, antitank rockets, and T-72 main battle tanks, as well as flame throwers and small arms.
The Beslan attack was one of many terrorist activities by a Chechen liberation group led by a notorious warlord, Shamil Basayev, that included the takeover of a Moscow theater in 2002 that ended in the deaths of 130 hostages; the 2004 assassination of Akhmad Kadyrov, the pro-Russian president of Chechnya; two suicide bombings on Russian airliners; and countless other acts of terrorism.
Besides the seemingly heavy-handed immediate response to the Beslan school hostage-taking, a number of political changes were made as measures of counterterrorism.
Most importantly, regional governors were to no longer be popularly elected, but appointed by the Russian president. Ramzan Kadyrov, the son of the assassinated Akhmad Kadyrov, was appointed president of the Chechen republic in February 2007, a post he still holds.
That Kadyrov has ruled Chechnya ruthlessly would be an understatement, but he has popularized himself on social media, posing with kittens small and large, with nearly one million followers on Instagram.
Abductions and killings have been routine, even of relatives of known terrorists. At minimum, relatives have their property destroyed or are banned from Chechnya.
In a January 2015 video, Kadyrov describes an anti-terror operation on December 4, 2014 in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, in which he delayed the operation for three hours so he could personally lead it, as well as his thoughts on terrorism, the terrorists as individuals, the role of families in watching their children, and what the families can expect if they do not turn in their children as terrorism suspects (beginning at the six-minute mark).
This is to recommend not such tactics in the United States, but a revaluation of current policy.
Perhaps debate should commence on the internment and mass deportation of selected Muslims, as had been conducted by France since 2012 and Norway since 2014.
Crime in Norway dropped 31 percent in less than a year after deportations began. Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic have restricted immigration so completely that the E.U. has opened legal cases against them, as reported June 12, 2017 by Reuters.
In the United States and most of the rest of Europe, immigration continues, unabated in Europe and slowed by evolving legal requirements in the United States.
No action has been taken against the families of terrorists, however, even in the case where the June 26, 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooter’s wife admitted to the FBI prior knowledge of the impending attack, as reported by the Orlando Sentinel on December 21, 2017.
Noor Salman was not arrested for seven months after the shooting, despite admitting prior knowledge of the planned attack to the FBI the day after the killing of 49 people at the gay nightclub.
She does now face charges of aiding a foreign terrorist organization and obstruction of justice. Her attorneys argue that her admission should not be admitted as evidence.
In Russia, she would already most likely have been convicted and in Chechnya probably killed, as would be members of her family, and their property destroyed.
That kind of policy makes would-be terrorists think twice and their families more likely to alert authorities of suspicions regarding their children.
Trump’s policies are a good first start in realism in the war against what amounts to a Muslim invasion, with a few violent and the majority passive supporters or enablers in their silence. More thinking and debate appear needed, however.

Ruger Rebooting Security Brand with the New Security-9
The Security-9 is a low-cost service pistol suitable for all types of everyday-carry. (Photo: Ruger)
Through the ’70s and ’80s the Ruger Security Six was one of the shooting world’s go-to handguns for personal protection, duty and home defense. Now Ruger’s bringing back the Security brand and while it’s completely different, in a way, it’s exactly the same.
The new Ruger Security-9 is a polymer-framed double-stack pistol chambered for 9mm Luger. It’s a mid-size handgun with a 4-inch barrel and compact grip with a standard capacity of 15+1.
This is the definitive all-purpose handgun today. Following the baseline set by the Glock 19, the Security-9 is the right caliber and the right size to get just about everything done.
And it doesn’t hurt that Ruger’s newest 9mm is priced to move. Even if — on paper — the Security-9 doesn’t do anything new, with its $379 MSRP, it undercuts all its competition.
That means, at full price, the Security-9 will cost less than other mainstream service pistols. With real-world pricing being even lower, buyers can expect to find Service-9 pistols starting around $300.
The how behind the low pricing is a bit surprising. At the heart of the Service-9 is the LCP, Ruger’s wildly successful concealed-carry pistol.
It has simple controls and an even easier manual of arms.(Photo: Ruger)
Unlike the majority of service pistols in this format, the Security-9 is actually hammer-fired. Ruger’s spent years developing their hammer-fired operating system to make it even lower-cost than common striker-fired mechanisms.
The hammer-based firing system is fully-cocked to give the Security-9 a true single-action trigger. Single-action triggers are making a serious comeback in the service pistol market because they handle and shoot better. Single-action triggers also have short and crisp reset points. And with current trigger safeties, they offer the same security as a double-action trigger.
Because it’s hammer-fired users also don’t need to pull the trigger for disassembly. This addresses a real safety concern, particularly for law enforcement and agency use. It also makes the slide easier to rack and everyone likes that.
Another plus for both departmental and private shooters alike is that the Security-9 uses a dead-simple interchangeable sight system. The front sight indexes with a roll pin while the rear sight is adjustable and held in place by a screw.
The Security-9 has a standard white dot front sight with a white outline rear. They also offer red and yellow sights separately for just $9 with more sight options to follow.

Other benefits from using the LCP fire control system include a one-piece sub-frame that provides full-length rails for the slide. This improves reliability and can promote accuracy. It’s machined from lightweight aluminum and it uses an internal hammer catch and spring-tensioned sear for drop safety.
The Security-9 has two external safeties, a passive trigger safety and a manual thumb safety. Hopefully Ruger has plans for a model without a manual thumb safety like with the LCP Pro.
From there on the gun is pretty vanilla. It weighs 23 ounces unloaded and measures in at 5 inches tall and just over 7 inches long. It has a textured glass-filled nylon grip frame with a blued slide and barrel and comes with two steel-bodied magazines. Additional magazines are priced about where you’d expect with a $39 MSRP.
It looks like the new Security-9 is a solid do-everything pistol and is in a good place to inherit the Security brand. With a little time, aftermarket and accessory support, the Security-9 could be at the top of the list for go-to handguns for anyone, especially people on a budget.

NBC Infographic Ends Debate on Banning ARs
NBC ran an article this week, titled, “America’s rifle: Why so many people love the AR-15.”
Within the article was an infographic that should pretty much shut down the debate for banning AR-pattern rifles. See below:
(Infographic: NBC News)
Turns out ARs aren’t the death machines the media makes them out to be. They “account for relatively few murders,” as NBC notes. Gun grabbers should put this info in their disarm-America-peace pipe and smoke it.
Of course, they’ll argue that ARs are used in mass shootings (as NBC did in the video below). That’s why we need to ban them. But the truth is almost any firearm can be used to kill a bunch of people in a short amount of time, especially in gun-free zones, in places where there is little, if any, armed resistance. The Virginia Tech shooter killed 32 people — with handguns.
Shall we ban handguns? Well, gun banners tried that. The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence used to be known as the Coalition to Ban Handguns. Why did it change its name? Maybe because public support for banning handguns has consistently wanned over the past three decades.
SEE ALSO: Salon: ‘U.S. was actually founded on gun control’
Why does the public by and large oppose banning handguns? Because as many times as bad people use handguns to do bad things in this country, more good people use handguns to defend themselves, their loved ones and their property. Handguns are fundamentally tied to one’s right to self-defense. Take handguns away and you’ve effectively taken the Second Amendment away.
What this all boils down to is that it’s not the gun that matters. It’s the person behind the trigger. We can ban either category of firearms and we’d still have gun murders and mass shootings. Heck, we can even ban all firearms and we’d still have gun murders and mass shootings. Just like they do in Europe.
As always, fighting crime is a function of taking bad guys off the streets. The weapons — guns, cars, pipe bombs, knives, bats, etc. — they use are immaterial.
Top 25 Defensive Gun Uses of 2017
George Frey/Getty Images
With 2017 quickly drawing to a close, Breitbart News thought the timing right to review the top 25 defensive gun uses (DGUs) of 2017.
And while it must be noted that these 25 examples are only a smidgen of the hundreds of thousands of DGUs that occur each year–see the academic work of Florida State University’s Gary Kleck–they nonetheless present a well-rounded summation of the various locations and circumstances in which law-abiding citizens use guns to defend their own lives and the lives of others.
Here are the top 25 DGUs of 2017:

WWAY repoted that Dickinson had just gotten off work and was going into her apartment at Colonial Parke when she was attacked.” The suspect held her at gunpoint, “beat her and then tied her up with a broken belt in her bedroom.” She was able to work free, retrieve her gun, and kill the suspect.
January 12, 2017–An concealed carry permit holder saw an Arizona State Trooper being beaten on the side of Interstate 10. The permit holder pulled over, asked the Trooper if he needed help, then intervened when the Trooper answered in the affirmative. The permit holder ordered the attacker to stop, then shot him dead after he refused to comply. It turned out that the suspect had shot the Trooper before the permit holder arrived, then climbed on top of him in a rage and began beating him on the side of the road. The permit holder saved the Trooper’s life.
January 20, 2017–Charlotte, North Carolina’s Kim Badger was attacked in “broad daylight” by a home invasion suspect armed with a baseball bat. WCNC reported that the attacker struck Badger with the bat, then pursued her through the house.

December 6, 2017–A father with a handgun license shot and killed an armed suspect who confronted the father and his family in a Popeye’s restaurant. According to Fox 29, the suspect pointed a gun at the father and “demanded his property.” The father asked that his family be released, then pulled his own gun when the suspect became distracted by individuals walking out the restroom. The father shot the suspect multiple times, killing him on the spot.
The Second Amendment is not about duck hunting or plinking, but protecting our lives and liberty from threats as they arise. The top 25 defensive gun uses of 2017 show that law-abiding Americans understand this and are putting their guns to good use.
