By Smitty of ONE I am a regular guy with a family, mortgage and dog living in suburban Kansas City, Missouri. I have limited experience shooting at the local range with my sons, nothing more. This is my short experience ... Read More
OMG! Jay Z and Beyonce! With Guns! OMG!
Of all the guns-a-blazing, shoot-em-up movie trailers in the history of the cinema, Jay Z’s and Beyonce’s big budget effort is definitely among the most recent. While it’s undeniably star-studded and snazzily-produced, though, it’s really a non-movie trailer (hint: “coming ... Read More
Question of the Day: Why Do You Hunt? [Video NSFW]
More than a few members of TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia are dead set against “trophy hunting.” Personally, I’m OK with it. For one thing, we homo sapiens spent a million years fighting our way to the top of the food chain. We didn’t do ... Read More

Quote of the Day: That Said He Lives in England Edition
“I have an 11-month-old daughter. Her house will not have guns, and I will never, ever, allow her to go to a home where there are guns. That is my DIVESTMENT plan, and I suggest it to all of you. You should know the parents of the children your children play with. Ask them the simple question, ‘Is there a gun in the house?’ If the answer is ‘yes’ then your kid never goes there. Period.” - Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHALLENGE GUN CULTISTS [via esquire.com]
Question of the Day: What’s The Coolest Gun In the World?
Cool is like pornography: it’s hard to define but easy to identify. The A10′s GAU-8 Avenger gun’s got it. A GLOCK? Well…I dunno. Maybe? A 1911? Oh yeah, they’re cool. Personally, I think lever guns are the world’s coolest guns. But then I think a schnauzer is a proper dog. Guns & Ammo readers recently voted for America’s coolest gun in a round-robin style showdown. They picked Tracking Point‘s “forget and fire” rifle. I mean, “fire and forget.” What say you? What’s the Steve McQueen of firearms, country of origin and portability notwithstanding?
Quote of the Day: Crickets Edition
“One of my fellow police chiefs made a comment one time that more guns isn’t the answer. When I said to him, ‘then what is your answer because we’ve tried everything else…’ there’s generally a blank look on the individual’s face, because they don’t’ have an alternative.” – Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch quoted in Missouri bill would allow teachers with guns [via ksdk.com]
