Sun, 01/05/2014 - 15:27
All I keep hearing from anti-gunners is that the people who run gun companies are heartless, greedy, merchants of death who would do anything to make another dollar. I guess they’ll have a hard time explaining this story then. According to a Facebook post made by Desert Tactical Arms, the makers of several sniper systems, […]

Remington Announces New R51 Pistol – Single Stack, Blowback Style 9mm

Fri, 01/03/2014 - 11:17
I’ll be honest here. I’m kind of a sucker for blockback style pistols with fixed barrels such as the Walther PPK and the Makarov. Those guns are two of my favorite “cool factor” guns, but more modern designs always win out for practical applications. However, that may be changing now that Remington has announced the […]

Walsh is most likely an anti-gunner. Walsh makes no direct mention of his stance on gun control on his website, however he does […]
