At an organising breakfast for National Rifle Association (NRA) grassroots activists, Samuel Richardson, a man with whom I have not exchanged a word, passes me a note. "Please read the book Injustice by Adams," it reads. "He was [sic] lawyer for US Justice Department who prosecuted Black Panther Case." Quite why Richardson thinks this book is for me is not clear. There are six other people at the table, a couple of them journalists. The fact I am the only black person in a room of around 200 may have something to do with it.
J Christian Adams, a former department of justice lawyer, resigned after the department decided not to prosecute members of the New Black Panther party who brandished guns and intimidated poll watchers outside a voting station in Philadelphia in 2008. Several attorneys, including Republicans, have argued that while the case was serious it did not warrant the department's resources. Adams believed there were darker forces at play, claiming the case "gave the public a glimpse of the racially discriminatory worldview" of the department under Obama.
Richardson goes further. The press and the government are in cahoots, he explains, to oppress white people. "It's fascistic," he explains. "It's just like Hitler did. Discriminating against one ethnic group and claiming that they're the cause of everything that's wrong. It's what happened in Rwanda," intimating that white Americans, like Tutsis, could one day find themselves systematically slaughtered in their own land.
It would be easy to ridicule the NRA. Billboards for its national convention all around St Louis promise "acres of guns and gear". In the exhibition hall they are giving two free guns, twice a day, to anyone wearing a sticker that says "Ambush", and they are selling semi-automatics in pink camouflage.

10-22’s are NICE and the capability of different style “ad-ons” are almost endless and plentyful (including “clips”).
plentyful = plentiful ....geezz...sorry
Yep.
Those UK riots would not have gone on for nearly as long as they did if more honest citizens were allowed to own guns.
Title needs barf alert.
I made a mess.
Thank You. :)
Brits still can’t handle we beat their asses. Without guns we’d still be subjects to the damn queen.
One of the best rifles to have on hand.
Hardly. One or even ten guys alone aren't going to decide to overthrow the government and succeed in anything but suicide by cop. "Democracy" is undermined by politicians who don't give a flying fig about the rule of law.
Where’s the barf alert?
Dear Mr. Younge, you Marxist pimple on humanity’s arse, our forefather’s unerringly saw the wisdom of maintaining a right to keep and bear arms and threw the British boot heel off of our throats because of it. Now it rests on yours because you were too weak and deluded to keep your government masters from taking all means of resisting them from you. In fact you were so stupid you helped them. Enjoy your subjugation!
Lying propagandist. What more needs to be said?
“Missouri representative Jeanette Oxford, who represents a district in St Louis, disagrees. “From the outset violence was enforced with weapons of various kinds in North America,” she says. “I think the ability to enforce your right through might is ingrained in us.”
The strong can’t tyranize the weak if, and only if, the weak are armed.
Rep Jeantte Oxford is a Democrap, of course. Her position is satirized by her own appearance - rather obese and fitting for a Democratic “Trough Feeder”.
Lovely rifle wow!
That skeletal stock is just fantastic.
I have found that shooting cheap Remington .22 lr ammo out of the sr22 will cause the gun to jam from time to time. It’s easy to clear, but that does frustrate. Same thing happens in my standard Ruger 10/22 if I use the same Remington ammo.
As Muslims, political correctness and cultural diversity destroy the UK, the time will come when the victims will wish they were armed.
No, I don’t think so. It is strictly a Ruger 10/22 barrel and receiver with specially made ar-15 parts. It is capable of using all Ruger 10/22 accessories as well as ar-15 accessories, and as far as I know it only fires .22 lr ammo.
It’s kind of like shooting an ar-15 with really inexpensive ammo, which is nice. Very fun to shoot this weapon, and with a bipod and red dot, it is so accurate it’s frightening.
I am amazed when people call the NRA successful as there are huge swaths of land in this nation where people cannot carry guns.

Damn right. 237 years ago today, as a matter of fact, when the Brits in question were trying to take our guns.
They can kiss my ass and go back to the other side of the Pond and stay there.
