Guns > Thursday Gun Links #14

The Jeff Cooper Commentaries for April are up.

Tuesday was the fifth anniversary of the Columbine shooting. The Children's Defense Fund used that as an opportunity to push their anti-gun agenda. Freedom Sight dispels some myths about the role of guns in Columbine. For one, Harris and Klebold used an older friend to buy their guns for them, and for another, the average rate of fire was less than three rounds per minute.

FoxNews ran a moronic NY Post article about a ship full of "terrorist-grade" guns that was captured. SayUncle and Curmudgeonly and Skeptical are having fun with it.

Spoons points to another case of a journalist learning to shoot, and liking it. This time it's Chris Wright of the Boston Phoenix taking a Lethal Force Institute class from Masad Ayoob. Lucky journalist.

Jeff at Alphecca has the weekly check on anti-gun bias, with notes on Cheney's speech to the NRA.

Publicola wasn't impressed with Bush and Cheney's commitment to the second amendment.

Louisiana is considering an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing the right to hunt and fish. Link. Via Interested Participant.

Guns in the Movies and TV

Lots of actors and actresses are anti-gun. This page has a list of some pro-gun actresses. It's a hard choice to pick just one, but in keeping with my standard editorial policy I'll go with a redhead: Laura Prepon from That '70s Show. "It's fun," she says of shooting, "and I think it's a good thing to know. But I’m not supposed to talk about guns, because it freaks some people out."

Guns of the Equilibrium at MadOgre.

The Mini-Gun in the movies at The Gun Zone, including my favorite, Jesse Ventura in Predator. While you're at The Gun Zone, visit Guns of the Bourne Identity, and miscellaneous Hollywood guns and prop guns.

Gun Bloopers in Band of Brothers.

Guns of Planet of the Apes. That's for the original. The remake didn't have any guns at all.

The CIA - believe it or not - has an incredibly cool section of their Web site devoted to spy fiction, with spy guns, both real and fictional. And get this: it's a really snazzy, graphically rich Web site. Who knew the CIA had it in them? Via Hell in a Handbasket.

Message Boards

Tactical 30-30 carbine? Eh. Why not.

From The High Road (my favorite all-around firearms message board), good shooting by a police sniper saves a man's life by shooting away the suicidal man's gun. With video, no less.

Here's a chance to help your fellow man. Chet Rogers wants to know what's the cheapest gun with the most recoil? Go help a neighbor hurt his shoulder.
