PSH Alert: 'Two Bits = $23K?

Company makes a 'smart rifle' that helps even your avg. shooter more accurate using lots of expensive electronics and doo-dads. 

Starting cost?  $22,500. 

Anti-gun fanatics go into absolute hysterics over it.

this product gives shooters a better accuracy than, on average, most cops," Fineman said.
  this is a weapon designed to kill with precision."--David Chipman, a spokesman for Mayors Against Illegal Guns
 "This technology potentially enables any two bit criminal to operate with the skills of a highly trained sniper," Chipman said
 "This is an industry hell bent on making weapons more lethal and taking no measures to extend safety," Horwitz said.

Yep, because just like they said when Barrett came out w/ .50 cal rifles, every 'two bit criminal' is going to go and drop tens of thousands of dollars on a large rifle. 

Yeah, that makes sense.

These people have no concept of reality.  They will crap their pants over ANY improvement or modification of a firearm and claim that it's designed for 'criminals'.  This is a rifle designed for rich folks w/ extra cash and no desire to go the traditional route for accuracy. Joe Gangbanger isn't going to be anywhere near one of these. But that won't stop the anti's from having to change their shorts.

Beautiful Weather in Chicago

11 shot, 3 fatally, in city overnight

At least 7 wounded in shootings across Chicago 

And the weekend's just started. Chicago politicians think allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves will make things worse.  

That's anti-gun logic for you.

h/t to IL Gunlobby

Faster FOID's in IL?

Or just a way to pass the buck and find an excuse to blame others for the 3-6 month delay in processing and 70K backlog?

The company, called Rely, was hired last year by the state to transfer applicant information from FOID records into computers.
The firm, headquartered in Hoffman Estates, has been notified by state police officials that they weren't doing the job.
This contract with Rely has been terminated early.
A new deal was struck with a firm called Boland Enterprises - an emergency service purchase under a 90 day contract for the keying and scanning of firearm owners identification card applications to meet the continued need for the Illinois State Police to meet its statutory mandate.

They better get things together quick since CCW applications are going to be flooding their offices soon.

IL CCW..Round ∞ +1

Chicago is running scared in the countdown to Constitutional Carry in Illinois. And they're doing it in the traditional way of politicians, attaching it to a completely unrelated bill in order to try and sneak/jam it through the legislature.

HB 0183:
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. Removes the requirement for a person operating a terminal to disclose surcharges for usage of the terminal by a sign on the terminal. Effective immediately.

Oh but wait, there's more:
Amendment 1:

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 183 by replacing
3		everything after the enacting clause with the following:

followed by dozens upon dozens of pages of CCW legaleze including a carve-out for Chicago. Again.

Reality vs What PuSH'ers Wish Was Reality

My job is a mite stressful.  'Mite' as in when I come home I regularly sequester myself alone in my den for an hour or so to unwind.*

And as much of an insurrectionist, sociopathic, low information, knuckle-dragging, gun nut the PuSH'ers wish I were, I have never once even considered going 'Postal' or committing any form of violence using my firearms or anything else.

Why?

Because like the majority of firearm owners and citizens in general, I'm a pretty stable and well adjusted individual.  I have plenty of ways that I deal w/ stress.  Reading a book, watching TV, taking a nap, playing w/ the 4th and 5th powers, petting the cats/dogs... and yes, target shooting.

Again, unlike what Ladd Everitt wishes I was doing, they're not targets of Obama or anyone else I don't particularly care for.  Usually they're these circle shaped thingy's w/ X's in the middle or old cans.  Sometimes a discarded appliance with a scary 'high capacity magazine' if I'm feeling particularly on edge. 

and no, never once have any of those items ever mentally morphed into one of my co-workers or anyone else. 

Amazing isn't it? 

So maybe, just maybe, those individuals who call for 'psych evals' before being 'allowed' to own a firearm should check their own mental makeup before challenging others'. I'm betting they probably won't be all that surprised as to what gets determined. 

*Note that while it is insanely stressful, I am very thankful for said job and the rewards of dealing w/ said stress are well worth it.

Reasoned Discourse Part (insert big number here)

You really have to love people who think they're better than others. Just take this 'I'm a gun owner butt...' FB page:

 Be respectful. Do not comment on this page unless you support reasonable gun control.

And of course 'reasonable' is whatever he says it is, specifically registration and mag bans.  Otherwise:

If you can't do that, then you are (by my definition) unreasonable. It is my page, not a open public forum for angry white boys.

And any opposition will get you banned and deleted, just like any other anti-gun page.  They will leave up/highlight the 'troll' posts though to try and smear all pro-rights advocates.  Again. SOP. 

Guess what skippy?  When you open up a PUBLIC FACE BOOK page, it, by definition, is an OPEN PUBLIC FORUM.  Otherwise make it a closed group so you can have your echo chamber. And nice little bit of playing the race card.
