Instead of the standard double triggers on a "set trigger", the french set trigger has a single trigger that is "set" by first pushing it forward.
Both my CZs have caused inexperienced shooters to touch the triggers too hard and fire prematurely.
DAMN even beat by a guy with CZ in his NAME!

The problem is that fact threatens the legislature... The emporer has no clothes. Their only "power" is to pass even more laws that cannot or will not be followed. We have way too many of those already. It's worse than the other abject failure in this country, the "tax code" that nobody can understand.
The solution to complex socio-economic problems creating gangland USA is NOT more laws. The solution to complex individual psychological problems is NOT more laws...
But when all you have is a hammer.....

fear, it makes sense if you view law enforcement as an industry. You don't want to use up all
of your primary commodity and put yourself out of business, do you?

If your going to ban guns, why not ban cars, kitchen knives, motorcycles, bicycles, boats, saws, trampolines, and hammers among others? Those are just as dangerous as guns, and car and motorcycle related deaths are much more common than gun related deaths.

...why not ban cars...
I'm sure there's an office somewhere in the EPA working on that...

Ma Deuce and horses 1933.
Amazing that it's essentially unchanged and still performing the same tactical function.

John Browning was a genius, period. If you haven't been to his museum
in Ogden, Utah you haven't lived. I'll be going there again real soon.

4 Mexicans drove into the middle of Edmunds Drive around 11:00 am this morning and just started firing at cars, people, houses whatever. One witness said as many as forty to fifty shots.
And people wonder why America is arming itself at an all time rate.
Translation: We need more guns because there's a lot of people running around with guns.

We need guns in the hands of good, law-abiding citizens because there's bad, not law-abiding citizens running around with guns, and the cops can't be everywhere in the nick of time to defend the good citizens.
There, fixed it for you, Gary.

donini, the Internets was invented so we could pontificate. That's what makes it fun.
Madbolter, that the proliferation of guns in society can be cured by the proliferation of guns in society just doesn't make sense to me. I'm sure it does wonders for Sam Colt's bottom line, though.

Hey, Jim, tell us about the gangs in Ouray. And I bet you have a higher than average gun
ownership rate there but a lower than average gun crime rate. And wazzup with the open
carrying of midieval battle weaponry there all winter? Hasn't that lead to wanton mayhem?

From what I've observed, pontification is exactly your style.

Madbolter, that the proliferation of guns in society can be cured by the proliferation of guns in society just doesn't make sense to me.
Let's say that every person that owned and carried a gun was 100% perfect in their responsibility, situational awareness, and law-abiding nature. Would proliferation of guns be any problem then? After all, in such a scenario a gun would never be misused, and guns would rarely be used, because criminals would not have nor use guns. In such a scenario the number of guns would be irrelevant to the rate of misuse of guns, because there would be no misuse of guns.
Now, think about speed. We've had it foisted off on us (as a massive revenue-generating scheme) that speed limits save lives, because "speed kills." But even scratching the surface on the facts reveals that it is not speed that kills but differential of speed that kills. In LA, for example, it is common for literally millions of people to be speeding along the freeways at 75+ MPH, bumper to bumper, and per-capita accidents on the LA freeways are quite infrequent (especially compared to the I25 here in Denver, which at any given moment has an accident clearing and lanes shut down). LA drivers have learned how to cram together, pretty much get in line, and just BLAST along in flagrant violation of the arbitrarily low speed limit. That is a "proliferation of speed."
But, as with a "proliferation of guns," speed in the right hands is no problem.
The "things" are NOT the problem. And the vast, vast majority of gun owners are not the problem (as evidenced just above in that video). Guns, as with speed, CAN and almost always ARE handled responsibly. The real "gun problem" we face is a criminal problem!
Take out gangland America, and you very quickly solve most of the "gun problem," and you would probably even motivate less "gun proliferation" among everyday citizens. Until then, however, you can continue to worry about the "things" that are not the problem.

And if you consider what might be some of the major components that fuel "gangland America" I'd argue (debate... or I might just pontificate) that yet another absurd US Government failed effort is at fault here.
The BS "War on Drugs". No different then prohibition in my opinion. Doesn't work and will never work when you try to fight the supply side of a demand problem. Let's spend billions of dollars in a fruitless effort to ban certain types of foliage that will grow in most people's yards. Let's try to hunt and kill people smuggling such foliage over an impossibly massive border. Sure... that will work.
Again government intrusion has CAUSED many of these issues which then erupt into violence and lead to even more failed attempts of the government to convince the sheep that more laws will keep them safe...
It's nonsense...
