SKS Rifles Stalking and Slaughtering Hunters!

Wisconsin Hunter Murders Show Need For Effective Assault Weapons Ban—Armed Hunters No Match For SKS Assault Rifle

You can’t HUNT with an SKS!

Semiautomatic assault weapons are only slightly less deadly than machine guns … semiautomatic assault weapons are useless for recreational activities … are designed to maximize death and injury from a very rapid rate of fire … ludicrously unsuited for civilian use …

SKS Assault Rifle - ENORMOUS FORCE AND DESTRUCTIVE POWER!! GGAAAARRRRRRR!!!

“The SKS assault rifle is a semi-automatic weapon with enormous, destructive power,” said CeaseFire PA Board President Phil Goldsmith. “Officer Liczbinski’s murder makes it painfully clear a weapon this destructive has no legitimate place or purpose …

ATF sez ‘OMG OH NOES’ to SKS!!11!!1! (PDF - via Ceasefire MD “study“)

“the rifle model most frequently encountered by law enforcement officers” and stated that “these high capacity rifles pose an enhanced threat to law enforcement, in part because of their ability to expel projectiles at velocities that are capable of penetrating the type of soft body armor typically worn by the law enforcement officers.”

… you probably have enough components lying around in boxes in your basement to build another PC. But you don’t. Because you don’t need another PC.

This is just wrong. I won’t put more than the first paragraph up here.

A 37-year-old man is charged with raping a 10-year-old girl who gave birth last month in Idaho.

It’s quite possible he’s an illegal alien. His status is as-of-yet unconfirmed according to reports. I say shoot the little fucker regardless of where he’s from. You’re either ridding the earth of a rapist, or you’re ridding the earth of a rapist who broke the law before he raped a little girl.

Sebastian’s got the goods on anti-gun shrieking out of Philly.

He adds this comment:

The problem is, the SKS is not an assault rifle. It never was an assault rifle. It’s never been banned, and there’s no reason to put it on any “list”.

And that’s EXACTLY why I’ve had my eye on a nice Yugo version with the whole blade bayonet and grenade launcher as my eventual SHTF rifle. As a matter of fact, I’m looking into composite folding stocks, rails, bipod, and all sorts of doodads to take the venerable Simonov and turn it into an EBR nightmare complete with green laser sighting, scope, and 30-round detachable magazine.

Why turn an SKS into an EBR?

Because I can, and folks like the appropriately named Nutter and Rendell can’t do a damn thing about it.

… in the ankle.

Just read some more on this story and found some interesting quotes:

RIVERDALE, Utah (AP) — The police chief who shot himself in the ankle was waving a loaded pistol and being careless, according to two students who were attending his class to qualify for a concealed-weapons permit. “We were told the gun is the chief’s personal sidearm, but it looked to me like he didn’t know anything about the gun,” Lewis Walker said.

That’s interesting enough. I guarantee you that your run-of-the-mill frequent shooter at the range knows a hell of a lot more about firearms in general as a hobbyist than do some of those paid to serve and protect.

Bart Ulm, another student seeking certification to carry a concealed weapon, said he was surprised Chief Dave Hansen was using a loaded gun to show how it worked.

“Right then, I was very leery, because there’s no need to have live ammo in a gun in the class. But I figured he’s the chief, so he must know what he’s doing,” Ulm told the Standard-Examiner of Ogden.

Unless he’s showing you something that can only be shown with a round in the chamber, then yeah, there’s no reason for live ammo to be loaded up in that kind of classroom setting.

This also goes to a point - If you’re leery about your own personal safety … say something. It’s not insulting, given what could happen. Instead of his ankle, it could’ve been any student shot right between the eyes with a .40. If you’ve got a hunch, you should act on it appropriately and speak up. That’s not excusing the negligence at play here, it’s just a fact.

“I think Riverdale police are just trying to keep this quiet and act like the chief is a hero. But if you ask me, he’s really stupid,” Walker said. “His state certification to teach concealed-weapons classes should be taken away from him. This was totally gross negligence.”

Yup.

Interesting Police Officer Shot Accuracy Stats …

New York City police officers fire their weapons far less often than they did a decade ago, a statistic that has dropped along with the crime rate. But when they do fire, even at an armed suspect, there is often no one returning fire at the officers. Officers hit their targets roughly 34 percent of the time.

When they fire at dogs, roughly 55 percent of shots hit home. Most of their targets are pit bulls, with a smattering of Rottweilers and German shepherds.

Firefights are generally a chaotic, confusing, adrenalin-laden thing, and hardly as straightforward and “clean” as they are often portrayed in movies. I’m not surprised at the 34% statistic. I’m surprised they can’t hit a dog more than 55% of the time, though.

It’s tiring. Sebastian has the goods.

Covered this Jill Porter idiot here a little while back.

No matter how ridiculous it may seem, “journalists” like this will never get it. They’ll blame everything except the perp, all day long, and if you don’t agree you’re just a knuckle-dragging, redneck, retarded, violence-loving gun-nut.

ET tries his hand at Authorized Journalism whilst totally dismantling a PSH screed … I say, SUCCESS!

“A man was mugged today BY A GUN(-toting criminal on parole)! The GUN was a model 1911, in the dreaded .45 caliber, capable of shooting through an entire school bus, and mushrooming to an increased size to deliver maximum death to babies and orphans. The GUN was also used by our armed service men during world war 2, when they fought against the Germans, who fought against the Russians, who would later go on to build the HORRIFYING AK-47 BULLET HOSE, CAPABLE OF FIRING 100000 BULLETS A MINUTE! SIMPLE ENOUGH TO BE WIELDED BY AN RETARDED 2 YEAR OLD GIRL WITH POLIO, INSTANTLY TURNING HER INTO THE ANGEL OF DEATH! The alleged criminal was caught on tape, left fingerprints, blood, ID, and a signed confession at the scene of the crime, but must have been set up, and/or was disaffected by the this country’s involvement in Iraq.
