It just keeps getting worse A total of four Broward County Sheriff’s deputies failed to enter Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., during last week's mass shooting, according to a new report. On Friday, it was reported that Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson, who served as the armed school resource officer, did not enter the school as the shooting occurred. But Peterson wasn’t the only one — three other Broward County Sheriff’s deputies also remained outside the school with their pistols drawn as they took cover behind their vehicles, CNN reports. Additionally, the Coral Springs police officers who arrived at the school later were frustrated and surprised that the sheriff’s deputies did not accompany them as they entered the school, sources told CNN. It’s uncertain if the shooter was present in the building once the Coral Springs police reached the school. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/four-broward-county-sheriffs-deputies-failed-to-enter-florida-high-school-during-shooting-report/article/2649914

Another fail regarding the Florida shooting The police officer who was on patrol at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14 resigned Thursday after video surveillance showed he never entered the school, even though he "clearly" knew there was a shooting taking place. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/22/cop-assigned-to-florida-school-never-went-in-amid-shooting-sheriff-says.html

Am I the only one that feels that there is something really odd about this? I don't think it was about stealing guns; if so, he would have just grabbed and ran. He took the time to load two and was working on the third. Even loading just one would make a person, at least me, believe that he was willing to shoot his way out of there. But three? it's possible the police might have prevented a mass shooting in Walmart.

I was at the Millington Walmart earlier today and, as usual, took a stroll through the sporting goods section. Looked at the gun case and it was completely empty. The man working the counter said that about a week ago around 3:00 am a man broke the display case glass and grabbed some guns. When the police showed up (silent alarm on the case) he had two shotguns laying on the counter with the trigger locks off and loaded, and was in the process of trying to get the lock off a third. I didn't see any blood splatters anywhere so I'm assuming that he was taken into custody without incident. They aren't going to put out any more on display until they come up with a better way of securing them.

This teacher pretty much covers it. Florida Teacher of the Year's gun violence post goes viral after school shooting http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/16/florida-teacher-years-gun-violence-post-goes-viral-after-school-shooting.html

This is the big difference between you and those living off of the taxpayers. Like you, we didn't have kids that we couldn't support.

We just can't win Weak sales and a declining gun market increased the price of ammunition in recent months, and companies are gearing up for another price increase this spring, Bloomberg News reports. After record sales in 2016, the gun industry is seeing declining purchases, and that downturn is steadily driving up the cost for ammunition. “Shooting Sports recorded third-quarter sales of $286 million, down 21 percent from $361 million in the prior year quarter, as a result of persistent lower demand in the market for ammunition and firearms,” Vista Outdoor Inc CEO Chris Metz said during an earnings call Thursday. Vista, which owns dozens of ammunition brands, saw profits decline 47 percent in 2017. The company raised ammunition prices once in January and plans to raise prices modestly in April. It expects competitors to do the same. Other companies have noticed declining sales, and Remington Outdoor Co., one of America’s oldest gunsmiths, filed for bankruptcy protection Monday in the midst of the slump. “There is no fear-based buying right now,” James Debney, CEO of American Outdoor Brands Corp., formerly Smith & Wesson, said on a December call with investors. Between 2006 and 2016, gun sales reached several record highs, if one measures sales through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System. http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/16/ammo-prices-are-going-up-heres-why/

Schools across US receive threats of violence following Florida high school shooting http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/16/schools-across-us-receive-threats-violence-following-florida-high-school-shooting.html

No red flags here Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old accused of killing 17 people at his former Florida high school, had scores of run-ins with law enforcement dating back to 2010 -- with one report saying sheriff’s deputies responded to his home more than 35 times in just six years. Broward County Sheriff’s deputies received at least 36 emergency 911 calls from 80th Terrace St., in Parkland – the suburban address where the teenager lived with his younger brother, Zachary, and their adoptive mother, Lynda, BuzzFeed reported. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/16/alleged-florida-school-shooter-nikolas-cruz-was-reported-to-fbi-cops-school-but-warning-signs-missed.html

I'm not trying to dump on the FBI but something appears to be wrong with their decision making. The FBI Keeps Missing Mass Shooters Before It’s Too Late Revelations that the FBI had been warned about Florida high school shooter Nikolaus Cruz fit an all-too-familiar pattern, in which apparent law enforcement errors have preceded mass murders. http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/15/fbi-missing-mass-shooters-florida-nikolas-cruz-omar-mateen/

Anxiously awaiting a range report.

Here's one that's not cheap https://www.knifekits.com/vcom/ulu-damascus-blade-p-7281.html

Welcome from the west end.

Welcome to the group.

If you have a range near by that rents guns, let her try a few. Light weight and low recoil might be a problem unless you can find something in a 32. This might be helpful: http://www.womenandguns.com/?p=3744

Welcome back

It’s always bothered me when I unintentionally offended someone. If I offend, I want them to know that, without a doubt, it was intentional.

They're $547 from Buds so the shop's price isn't too far off.

I was fondling one of these the other day and it was all I could do to walk out of there without it. I couldn't believe that I was actually even thinking about spending close to $600 for a six shot .22 but I've been thinking about it ever since searching for justification and I think I found it......I really want it !!! My biggest problem is the fact that they have a Single Seven in .327 for the same price, and before someone says it, no I won't buy both .

Looks like a good deal at Midway. Clearance sale $206.82 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101947208/ar-stoner-ar-15-optics-ready-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-16-barrel

I know, but it's still 3 months in a row. Nov, Dec, Jan. or Dec, Jan, Feb
