Annoying Trends.
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 10:43 am
Perhaps it's because I tend to resist change, or that I just tend to look back to the good old days, but there are certain trends in the gun community that bug me.
1: Itty bitty guns that are EDCs for sr so many people. Sticking them into pockets. Yeah, I understand that people have their reasons. It's just that it has become so commonplace. It seems to me that a lot of people are toting pockets, without giving traditional carry a chance. I wonder how many people actually qualify with an LCP.
2: Rifles without irons. Seems to me that more rifles are sold without irons than without. I suppose that a lot of inexpensive guns today are pretty accurate compared to what was available in decades past and folks like getting the most out of their guns. There is nothing wrong with scoping a rifle, it's just that without irons a rifle seems incomplete and the selection available is getting limited.
3: Abandoning the traditional Hammer fired DA/SA, The 1911, and striker fired are very popular, while there are fewer and fewer new models of TDA guns being offered. They are being squeezed out of market by tiny strikers Glocks and 1911.
4: Overpriced used guns., Seems as though a lot of people these days seem to think that a slightly used gun is worth as much or more than a new gun. I suppose this shouldn't annoy me that much because I generally won't buy a new gun, and would rather give away a good gun to a friend or relative than sell it.
5: We have met the enemy, and he is us. We as a community are often our worst enemy. Criticism of OC, Reciprocity, and Leftist. Mostly the unabashed critisism of leftist. While most of the resistance we get is from the left, and many of our political leaders from the left are deserving of a good verbal thrashing. The thing is second ammendent rights and the right to defend and protect are civil rights traditionally what the left is sensitive too. It's about the right of women to defend themselves, The rights of the poor, and protection against a mob. The ability to protect our children. The right to defend ourselves should not be bipartison, and we should be trying to get them on our side for this one issue. Thoughout history we have swung from liberal to conservative and back again. If the right to bear arms remains a Republican issue only, we are destined to lose these rights that have taken so long to gain.
OK, I'm being cranky. and find no fault with people who own ironless, pocket striker fired handguns. It's just the trend that annoys me. Ive vented and feel much better now
