The gun expert from the New York Times

The OP was full of fail. :laughing

Where did the OP get the idea that this was the NY times 'gun expert'? :wtf

Here's her bio:
Gail Collins joined The New York Times in 1995 as a member of the editorial board and later as an Op-Ed columnist. In 2001 she became the first woman ever appointed editor of the Times’s editorial page. At the beginning of 2007, she stepped down and began a leave in order to finish her new book: "When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present." She returned to The Times as a columnist in July 2007.

Before joining The Times, Ms. Collins was a columnist at New York Newsday and the New York Daily News, and a reporter for United Press International. Her first jobs in journalism were in Connecticut, where she founded the Connecticut State News Bureau, which provided coverage of the state capitol and Connecticut politics. When she sold it in 1977, the CSNB was the largest news service of its kind in the country, with more than 30 weekly and daily newspaper chains.

Besides "When Everything Changed," published in October of 2009 by Little, Brown, Ms. Collins is the author of "America's Women," "Scorpion Tongues: Gossip, Celebrity and American Politics," and "The Millennium Book," which she co-authored with her husband, Dan Collins.

Granted, she doesn't know much about guns, but the whole tone of how her article was viewed was predicated on the false perception that she was the NY times 'gun expert'. :wow

So, you agree with everything that she wrote?

The fucking problem is, that people reading this bullshit and take it at the face value. Because it's must be true. and then they start riling for more regulations of the stuff than neither they, article writer nor our great legislators now nothing about.

Maybe that perception is because the story was presented as "news" (implying the use of facts and reliable sources) rather than "opinion".

I'm on my second one, thank you very much.


The problem as I said is when people read
Loughner’s gun, a 9-millimeter Glock, is extremely easy to fire over and over, and it can carry a 30-bullet clip. It is “not suited for hunting or personal protection,” said Paul Helmke, the president of the Brady Campaign. “What it’s good for is killing and injuring a lot of people quickly.”

You mean like when the Rep Congress called for a ban on French Fries, Claim that health insurance rates are going to go up significantly because of 'Obamacare', etc. :p :laughing

I know what you're saying, but it's pretty hypocritical for people on the right to start getting their panties all up in a wad over the left exploiting propaganda!
 
Well, since GLOCKs are evil, I'll take my to the range today to kill lots of paper targets very quickly.
Like that.

some of you guys need to be careful. If they can't get your guns, they'll get your speech. Being a 2A supporter will someday lead to you being on a 'screened' list so you can't even buy a gun. This is what they are attacking now..."how did this guy buy a gun with speech and views like his?"

Well, if such an eventuality is part of your threat model, then all I can(not) say is:

Harder not to jerk the trigger at high rates of fire. Or mispositioned hand.
 
What a funny thread. People bickering over others not calling gun parts by their proper names and how many rounds per minute pistols and revolvers can fire. All you have to remember is that real men use assult rifles to wage a revolution, and the bullet comes out of the pointy end. Make sure the pointy end is pointed at the guy you want to kill at all times and don't ever point it at anything you don't want to kill.

But why the left?

I'm Right handed and there are only two factors that I can think of which are different left/right.

1. Shell Ejection, though I'm skeptical about this being sufficient.
2. You hand...Palm on one side, finger and thumb on the other. Is it that the recoil is better handled by the palm than the fingers?

Not enough finger on the trigger. When you pull the trigger fast, instead of pulling it straight back, you push it a little and your hands and a gun point slightly to the left.
I am working on it.:|
