An overview of an often-seen magazine check. Why tapping the back of your magazine is generally useless. Proof: During a live fire session, purposely tap the FRONT of a filled magazine prior to loading instead of the back. Shifting the ammo the "wrong" way will have no ill effect, demonstrating this procedure accomplishes nothing.

Joe Biden Gives Gun Advice

Malcolm Gladwell interviews Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center about "assault weapons". Here's what happens when a journalist interested in learning more about guns asks an anti-gunner to explain their position.

William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes published "Shooting To Live" and their point shooting approach still has advocates to this day. How do these methods compare to modern New York Police Department training? What does the NYPD Annual Discharge Report show about Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) reports?

This is a demonstration of control of fully automatic weapon fired in overly-long bursts to illustrate control. George Harris of International Firearms Consultants LLC (http://ifcllc.us) shot the AR-10 and Thompson. The AR-10 was shot with a continuous burst of 20 rounds of 7.62 M-80 Ball. It was a beast to control but was controllable. Harris could put all 20 on a 12" plate at 25 yards without much trouble. The other demonstrations are of Jeff Brennan shooting an AK, CZ and RPD running wide open. The point is, if you know what you are doing, (taught by a trainer that knows and can demonstrate how to shoot full auto) it's really a piece of cake. Real world practicality is that you had better have a lot of loaded magazines and several guns available if you are going to do a lot of it. This isn't a practical approach to effective fully automatic fire, just a demonstration of the control that is possible.

Why the Marine Corps has gone with an optics-first approach to rifle training and what their data and policy say about the decision.

Iron sights are good but modern optics can sometimes be even more durable. While some people in the gun world claim iron sights are always the most durable option and that optics are much more prone to fail, published data indicates otherwise.

For a time, the D.C. area’s Metropolitan Police Department was the only legal gun dealer (FFL) in the nation’s capital. Records now show at least 25 of the guns MPD FFL transferred to D.C. residents in 2020 and 2021 were recovered at crime scenes in 2021 alone. MPD also had a short "time-to-crime", meaning the amount of time from the gun's first sale until it was used in a crime. Short time-to-crime periods can be an indicator of improper conduct by the dealer. According to the ATF, about 99% of FFL dealers operate properly and only a tiny percentage of legally sold guns are ever used in crimes with a time-to-crime average of over ten years. FFL dealers selling a gun later found at a crime scene within three years of the first sale raise suspicions about that dealer. For the dozens of guns recovered at crime scenes that D.C. MPD FFL transferred, the time-to-crime was 20 months or less – less than two years. #police #cops #FFL #BATFE #ATF
