Quote of the Day: That Said He Lives in England Edition

Sun, 05/18/2014 - 08:00

“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?

Sat, 05/17/2014 - 12:00

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?
