“There are only three ways the gun would work for its owner: fingerprint recognition, smartphone pairing, or a keypad code.” [Watch]
Funny. The highly trusted newsbabes didn’t explore that any further.

The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of
What Are Your “Dream Guns?” Pick Any Three And Tell Us About Them [More]
I have none. I’ve made no secret about that (see #5 from 2006). I’m in it for the rights .
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had fun, and if I had to name with what, I’d probably say a Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk, an M1 Garand and a MAK 90.
I have tried to attain a level of proficiency in what I do own (not that I’m publicly admitting to having any) for my own safety and the safety of those around me, but the hardware has never been what animated me. I’m in it for the principle.
That’s why you’ll never see me presuming to do a “gun review.” Like the saying goes, “A man’s gotta know his limitations,” and I’m not only not qualified, all those who know more than me, which is a lot of gun owners, would quickly and correctly label me a fraud if I tried.
I’ve actually turned down businesses who wanted me to test machineguns and write about them, and people who wanted to send me ammo to test and write about. That’s just not who I am nor why I do this.

You Can Judge Some Books By Their Covers
They’re just as informative and gorgeously photographed on the inside.
I’ve written about both before:
- ‘FG42’ Profiles Revolutionary, Near-Forgotten Classic in Words and Pictures
- Book Explores How War for Independence Revolutionized Firearms Technology
I bring them up again here because author Jeff John, my longtime former editor at GUNS Magazine (we actually go back to GUNS & AMMO), released a revised and updated second edition of FG42, and he sent me hard copies of both, which I’d previously only seen in electronic form.
I’ve also told readers about The Matchless Enfield No. 4 (T) Sniper, blogged about Colours of the Queen’s Rangers, and on more than one occasion steered people over to Jeff’s website, Art in Arms Press, featuring “historical and contemporary firearm books & photography,” and more.
Consider carving out some time to spend over there, to appreciate artistry, craftsmanship, and history, and to get copies of Jeff’s books for yourself or a deserving friend or relative.
A Question of Principal
Following an investigation, the guns were determined to belong to the school’s principal, Geyler Castro, officials said. It was not immediately clear why the administrator brought the weapons to the school. [More]
She doesn’t look like a lefty so I’m wondering what’s going on.

Taker’s Remorse
Outside of the store, shortly before 3 p.m., an adult male confronted the individual, brandished a weapon and demanded the AR-15. The individual handed over the assault-style rifle, but then went to a vehicle and retrieved another gun. A shootout ensued. [More]
They’re kind of keeping details about the participants close to the vest…

Turning the Tables?
Apparently, the artist originally wanted to ‘delve’ into the ‘unique and abysmal’ lives of gun owners in America, illustrating their fetishism with firearms… Oh sure, there are plenty of gun-grabbers shrieking and freaking out about these photos, but the number of Second Amendment enthusiasts and gun lovers LOVING the thread far outnumber them. [More]
Doesn’t matter. They’ve outed themselves and exposed themselves to whatever results from that.
