Biden Says President May Issue

Executive Order on Guns

-- New York’s Governor and

others call for confiscation

It’s an all-out assault on your Second Amendment rights.

Arrogant Obama-supporters have been emboldened by what they perceive to be a massive electoral mandate -- despite the fact that Obama would have lost the election if only 334,000 votes in four critical states had gone differently.

But to be sure, these gun grabbers have made their objectives pretty clear.

Illegal orders and confiscation

* “The president is going to act.  There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken [and] we’re compiling it all with the help [of] the attorney general and all the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action we believe is required.” -- Vice President Joe Biden, January 9, 2013

* “Confiscation could be an option.” -- New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a radio interview (December 27, 2012)

* “We cannot have big guns out here ... semi-automatics and all of them,” said Iowa Rep. Dan Muhlbauer. “Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them.” -- interview with the Iowa Daily Times Herald (December 19, 2012)

Sweeping new guns & ammo bans

* The proposed Illinois semi-auto ban would “ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns” currently owned by Illinoisans. -- Study by Illinois State Rifle Association

* “Ammunition is now the black hole in gun violence prevention.” -- Connecticut U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D), January 8, 2013

Registering gun owners

* Biden is being pushed to accept “universal background checks [and laws to] track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database.” -- The Washington Post, January 6, 2013, p. A1

* The goal is to “break the back” of the gun lobby. -- Democratic operative Julian Epstein (MSNBC)

Read all of these quotes again.  Let them sink in.

This is the goal of the so-called “reasonable, common sense” crowd in Congress. Consider what they want to accomplish:

(1) Immediate bans on most guns currently in circulation.

(2) Accompanied by national registration of guns and ammunition.

(3) Followed by confiscation.

And, under rules changes being pushed by Senate Democrats, once you allow the least bit of gun control to go forward, the process will be beyond anyone’s ability to stop once it turns really nasty and extreme.

The bottom line:  ALL gun control should be opposed in its entirety.

We are beyond the point of negotiating our demise with people who have made it clear that their objective is to destroy us.

 

The only solution is to oppose EVERY SINGLE GUN CONTROL proposal.  Every single one.

Gun control is not the answer.  Connecticut had just about the most draconian gun control laws in the country, and they were absolutely unable to stop Adam Lanza from using a stolen firearm to shoot up a school.

ACTION:  Click here to contact your U.S. Representative.  Demand that they oppose ALL GUN CONTROL.

My Dear Friends,

First, have a safe Happy New Year from me and mine to you and yours and please don’t drink and drive especially on armature night. There will be enough idiots out tonight and personally I’d like to hear from you for a good many more years.

Second, those of you who are Facebook members, I have recently been turned on to a new social media, fumano.com http://fumano.com/

This is akin to Facebook, so there’s no period of adjustment, nonetheless there is also the lack of Facebook bovine feces there, no NAZIs. In other words it’s uncensored and assumes we are adult enough to censure ourselves if need be.

I highly recommend switching to fumano.com, I did and as soon as more of us do I will probably dump my Facebook account all together.

Third and last, for those of you, who are ICCF members http://iccf.freeforums.org and you all should be, please store your ICCF user name, email address, and password in a document on your computer for future reference. I have had a few members with trouble logging into the forum. 1) I’m not psychic, I don’t know your information and 2) I might be able to help with the proper information provided to me. 3) Every time I have “fixed” someone’s account it has been their fault, they forgot or misspelled one of those three pieces of information.

Now if I can just find a replacement for YouTube…

Anyway…HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Sincerely Yours,
Kilogulf59 aka Ken

PS
Feel free to contact me with any thoughts, suggestions, or just to shoot the bull.

Magtech Ammunition Review

Earlier this year, the nice folks at LuckyGunner.com http://www.luckygunner.com contacted me with a request to test some ammunition. I accepted letting them know I was not setup to do proper tests i.e. velocity, penetration, and expansion. This was acceptable to them and they then sent me two boxes of Magtech .357’s to run through and see how I liked them.

Before I continue, I must apologize to the very kind people at LuckyGunner.com http://www.luckygunner.com, thank, and compliment them on their patients and conviction in me, as, due to my health, schedule, and terrible summer weather here; I was unable to test the ammunition in a reasonable time. This delay was to the degree that I contacted then and wanted to ship the ammo back at my expense, feeling it fraudulent, on my part to keep these expensive cartridges on what may appear to be deceptive pretences. They would hear nothing of it and told me they hoped I felt better and to test it and write a review when I was up to it. I will tell you people, I was shocked and refreshed that, in this day and age of “screw thy neighbor”, to hear this from a business, especially one that doesn’t know me from Adam. Based upon this alone I would recommend then as a quality place with which to do business.

The ammunition tested was Magtech FD357A .357 S&W Magnum 95-grain SCHP (solid copper hollow point). This features their 100% solid copper bullet, which optimizes energy transfer through superior expansion characteristics. For those of us who are techno-junkies I will include all the good stats for you here:

My son, Matt, did the trigger work using my Dad’s Ruger Service Six 4-inch bbl SS (left) and his S&W M28 Highway Patrolman 4-inch bbl SB N-frame (BTW, kudos to Jessie aka bulletman for this find as it has the best finish on a M28 I have ever seen and is in excellent condition…).

The ammo shot well; a bit low in our guns nevertheless perhaps that is due to the lightweight of the projectile. This was not even an issue for combat purposes as they hit just below the point of aim. Of course, had Matt practiced a bit before hand... 

Judging from what we saw examining the log backstop, penetration, and expansion should not be a problem and according to other more scientific reports, they expand as well or better than some other all-copper bullets do.

Consequently, it appears to us that copper bullet ammo is accurate, it was clean burning, and they did not give the impression of fragmenting (at least the one or two we found). The copper bullets did not foul the barrels as standard cleaning worked perfectly, they did penetrate, and they would probably be a great choice for small lightweight pistols due to the lesser recoil of the light bullets.

Yes, I feel I could recommend the Magtech .357 Magnum 95-grain SCHP for duty use nevertheless I would still prefer to see some forensic reports from actual shootings before I was a total convert to SCHP ammo.

Good news for you reloaders out there, Magtech sells just the bullets as item no: BU357SC

Here is a great selection of Magtech ammo: http://www.luckygunner.com/brands/magtech-ammo and when you stop in at LuckyGunner.com tell ‘em Kilogulf59 set ya…hopefully they won’t slam the door on ya .

Here’s the video you’ve all been waiting for…

Addendum:

As far as the noise signature and flash are concerned, they are as loud as any magnum, and they seemed slightly higher pitched. The flash was hard to describe, as it was fairly bright outdoors nonetheless, it appeared to be less than with many magnum loads I’ve used. Note the video…

This may help also, it’ a clip from StevesPages.com on .357 terminal ballistics…http://stevespages.com/page8f357magnum.html <= BTW, I highly recommend a visit there, tons of good data, an exceptionally well-done site.
