FOX News - dry fire

[cobb]

Did anyone else hear this last night? During one of the news updates on FOX News a report was given that the San Bernardino shooters had been practicing at a gun range. Then they added that they were practicing "dry fire" which conditions the mind to kill. Where in hell did they get that little piece of information?

My guess is that all of the major news agencies had the info but it goes against their agenda. They, like BHO, will go to great lengths so not to implicate Islam in this tragedy. Some people are wising up but others are clueless. Unfortunately it will take incidents like San Bernadino before some (including those in Washington and St. Paul) to even consider the possibility that militant Islam may be a factor.

Seriously - who's shocked that the media looks at ANYTHING even REMOTELY gun related as evidence they were training to kill.

1) Visit to the range? Training to kill more quickly
2) Dry fire practice? Conditioning the mind to kill
3) Built your own AR? Building the perfect murder weapon
4) Carry a pistol in a holster? A holster designed to allow rapid access to a killing machine
5) Hollowpoint bullet? Specially designed murder bullet
6) Play paintball? Training to hunt man
7) Um....take an ibuprofen? Drugs designed to slow the body's response to pain, allowing them to keep killing despite police gunshots...

I give up...

Apparently I was "training my mind to kill" last night. I though I was just practicing sight picture and trigger press since it's too cold and too dark to shoot outside.

Just wait until the antis figure out that these killer conditioning dry firing weapons operate in near complete silence, are undetectable to shot spotters and can be fired indefinitely without reloading.

I must be really bad because I have all this Laserlyte stuff in my office.

THE HORROR!!!!!

How can we limit dry firing to only a single musket shot, just like the framers of the Constitution meant, when they wrote the 2nd Amendment? If it saves just one life……..

The media will take any new Buzz word and put their spin on it just to sell. I have noticed that their one new favorite words are "Soft Target".

I don't mind this, at all. Our side is good at messaging. Let "soft target" become widely used and adopted by everyone. It won't be very difficult, at all, to conflate that term with "gun free zone". Perhaps folks will finally get it. I'm not optimistic.

What I posted on another board recently:

IMHO, the main reason guns are regarded differently today is a shift in social viewpoint: violence and murder were once regarded as the moral failing of the persons committing them. We are much more likely today to view social problems statistically, in terms of environmental factors affecting people en masse. Yet all other factors affecting peoples' behavior such as video, music and games glorifying violence, or the loosening of responsibility or discipline, never get blamed for gun violence. Instead it's put on the guns themselves and "gun culture", as if owning guns somehow inures people to violence or inspires them to commit assault and murder- without ever asking why that should be true now when it wasn't in the past. Excepting only the far, far end of the bell curve consisting of the truly paranoid and sociopathic, owning a gun per se does not inspire violent thoughts.

Apparently the gun control advocates' answer to our violence problem is not teaching responsibility, discipline or empathy for others, but a faux-pacifist squeamishness: if we raise our children to be afraid of and repelled by guns, guns won't be used and will vanish from society. Nice plan, except that by definition the people committing gun crimes are those that our society's acculturation process has failed. Also, just where is our warrior caste of soldiers and police supposed to come from- are they going to be cloned in vats?

It's obvious we need "common sense" dry fire legislation. .........

People in the media and politicians, those that support gun right, still tend to be full of **** and have no idea what they're talking about. They have no idea if 2000 rounds is normal or if it implies nefarious intent. They tend to monkey-see monkey-do concerning topics they know nothing about, and that means they might make a big deal out of nothing, or thoroughly embarrass themselves.

If they tend to be in our side, I cut them some slack on their ignorance. If they're trying to restrict my rights, I go for the jugular and highlight every ridiculous thing they've ever said.

Problem is that if they talk about 2000 rounds being a bad thing long enough then people will start to think it.
