But when Rob Pincus told FOX News he supported Biden’s ideas, even shooting a shotgun out a door to scare away bad guys, it was too much. Even with Pincus’ previous statements calling for more gun control, he had crossed the Rubicon. There was no going back. [More]
He crossed the Rubicon for me when he came unglued and went all ad hominem over questioning one of his fellow trainers supporting Hillary. He secured his position in the enemy camp when he teamed up with one of its leaders and then joined up with the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.
That makes his allies subject to scrutiny too, in my book. They’re the ones who advise ignoring the greatest threat.
The thing is, he doesn’t care about burning bridges. He knows he can continue to make a good living off of Gun Culture 2.0, where useful idiots have their “allowed” guns, for now, as they witlessly vote in rulers aiming to change that as soon as they think they can.

UPDATE
In the interests of fairness, TTAG directs us to the documentation of incomplete quotes.
That has no bearing on my observations.
Rob Pincus’ new-to-market (after over a decade in “development”) pistol is designed around a 10-round magazine, because apparently nobody — other than government agents and police — ever needs more than that.
IOW, he’s conceded that point already.
And he’s against open carry by non-police. “Open carry @$$hattery” is the term he used, I believe.
The fact that magazine limits could be struck down in the near future means the market may reject his overpriced pistol.
As an aside — and me not being a gunsmith — based on the trigger, magazine release, slide release, and the location, orientation, and appearance of the take-down lever, the pistol itself looks to me like Rob dropped a GLOCK internal parts kit into a frame designed by a third-grader.
I’d be extremely interested to see a side-by-side comparison of the two, including inspections of the field-stripped guns, to see if there might be some copyright infringement going on. And I wonder if there are any other, less obvious “borrowed” intellectual properties.
If appearances are correct and the major engineering hurdles were solved with “borrowed” proven concepts, it really calls into question why it took so long to bring this “highly demanded” pistol to market.
But again, I am not a gunsmith, so I could be wrong here.
(Another aside, I wonder if Rob himself carries one, or if he’ll keep his 17-round Glock.)
