Wonder if anyone in the government is taking notes on how this could possibly indicate how a full on gun turn in would go?

I'm sure they are, but I suspect their take away is not what we'd like it to be.

Looking on the bright side, what with all our old MRAPs and APCs going to the Ukraine there's less available for the feds to 1033 and use on us.

And for the feds to give away to local PDs and county sheriffs' offices ...

Brandon gave a lot to the Taliban as well. (On the bright side, I just read that they're currently massing on the Iranian border - seems the Afghan Taliban and Iranian mullahs don't play well together. So maybe they'll be put to good use after all.)

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Attaching a brace changes the caliber of the firearm?  Wow.

Does anyone have a list of what braces do? If not, I'll get it started.

A) makes pistols fully automatic
B) makes a pistol into a gun
C) increases caliber


I've only recently become aware of the benefits of these wonder-devices, and I must say, I'm impressed.

Navy should have put braces on the Iowas. That way they could have one shot killed the Yamatos.

Actually, the US Army Air force got them first and strapped a couple to B-29s.  And now you know ... the rest of the story.

The B-52 is just a B-25 with multiple pistol braces installed.

Back in the 1960s someone at NASA attached a brace to a sounding rocket and thus the Saturn V was born. The rest is history.

It better not make it a caliber I don't already load for.

Actually . . . referring to A) . . .

The military version of H&K's VP70 had a detachable shoulder stock (kind of shaped like some braces) that had "Da Switch" on it; attaching the stock and flipping "Da Switch" converted the pistol to three-shot burst mode.

I'm tired of politicians refusing to just come out and tell the public exactly how dangerous these ghost pistol braces are. It's time for Biden to just man up, and declassify the tapes of pistol brace killing the dinosaurs. (And ending net neutrality.)
