Actual advertisement from 1904: Even Guns.com has issues with this: Yup.  You can stare at it all day and it’s still a little girl in her jammies twirling her dad’s Safety Hammerless; .32 S&W was popular at the time.  “Absolutely safe!” “Papa says it won’t hurt us.”  Because an accidental discharge, you see, is impossible.  Of course, what’s meant by accidental is that it won’t shoot unless you pull down a trigger, and a little girl isn’t strong enough to do that.  Nobody believes that sort of thing now, underestimating kids is like a bullet train to finding peanut butter inside every single electronic device you own because the DVD player looked hungry and so did his friends. The truth, as distasteful as it may be, is that indeed people have gotten smarter about such things in recent decades. As the Guns.com article put it: Ultimately this sort of ad today would be inexcusable.  And not because of lawyers, but because  that’s a girl in her jammie...

The Martini-Henry was almost indisputably the greatest standard-issue single-shot breechloading military rifle. Operation was refined to be almost as simple as possible while still being a single-shot. Other projects like the Trapdoor Springfield conversion involved multiple manual actions which the M-H accomplished in one or two moves. If yours truly were transplanted back to 1880 North America and able to set up a little fiefdom in the American West, the Martini-Henry chambered in the American .45-70 would be the standard for my little paramilitary outfit. (I'd also blackmail Colt into permitting carbines chambered in .45 Colt, but that's another matter.) The apparatus featured here was far from practical from either a tactical or economic perspective, and it was obsolete before it arose, as the video will show. Nonetheless, it is exemplary of how some Canadian ingenuity--our cousins to the north absorb some of ours by osmosis--can seek to make the most of what is extant in t...

From YouTube transcript: from a utilitarian 0:30 standpoint that makes sense if you might 0:31 need to equip guys in the rear who 0:33 probably aren't actually going to get 0:34 into a fight but who you still probably 0:36 want to have guns which might be the 0:38 case given that these russian-backed 0:40 separatist militia guys appear to be 0:41 running traffic checkpoints in mariopol 0:43 allegedly while the conflict in syria 0:45 has proven that the mozin can still hold 0:46 its own in a modern fight provided it 0:48 gets updated a bit it's still quite 0:50 jarring to see in the field alongside 0:51 the newest ak iterations current 0:53 generation night vision and weaponized 0:55 tech talks also like you guys didn't 0:56 have any spare akms for those dudes 0:58 really IRONIC FROM 2020:  Mosin-Nagant Chassis From Raven (Crook) In Ukraine TDF INDEX:  Cats, Guns, and National Security: THE DAILY FUDD index.    https://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2021/03/...

Let's just say it: POCs and women need help competing with White males. Ideas like this one simply defy nature and attempt to create a false equality. Students, professors demand scholar be allowed to call on ‘white, male, or someone privileged’ last Candela wrote in her syllabus that “if you are white, male, or someone privileged by the racial and gender structures of our society to have your voice easily voiced and heard, we will often ask you to hold off on your questions or comments to give others priority and will come back to you a bit later or at another time,” the  New York Post   reported . An alternative would be to let the best and brightest take the lead in bringing the others closer to their level. Indeed, even liberals once held to this. The Brown v Board SCOTUS decision held that colored children could never achieve equality with White children if they were denied contact in their formative years. The hope was that White influence would raise the coloreds' char...
