We shoot Glocks in competition and the first thing we do to a new Glock it open it up and turn it upside down and dump the guts in the trash.  PLEASE don’t assume that Law Enforcement Officer is a gun expert.  Department purchases are a financial decision and all that entails for any Government bid.   Glock has the highest Accidental discharge rate for any LEO pistol. 

Glocks by factory notice can not shoot Lead because lead fowling can cause high pressures in the barrel.   While many Glock owners state otherwise we can only judge by what the factory claims for their pistols are and separate the myth from the reality.   Glock has been given the opp. To back up the claims of most of their owners and doesn’t wish to do so.

So do not attempt to personalize my view of the Glock we rate them by the factory engineering vs the real world use.  A gun that can’t withstand lead build up is in my opinion no worth risking falling in a puddle or rolling on the ground with a suspect getting the gun dirty then trying to fire it.  OR in otherwords Practical use worthy.   Glocks issued to foreign military are built different that commercial US sales and manufacturing, for those about to jump to some article about a glock in a foreign country shooting in a sandbox of a living arena.

Glock is now paying the price for making sure their gun was in every movie possible with new laws aimed at Glocks manufacturing using polymers, the first of which being signed by Bush many years ago.

The public records for reasons for death have no percentage for people who just died. Every death can be prevented indefinetly with enough money. Do you really believe your immoratality is being stolen by others?

On the other hand the "cost" to treat smoking is only a cost because someone with the same damn mindset decided that for "all" our benefits we should pay for others decisions. How about instead of trying to ban the freedom to choose in all its form, sports, drugs, liquor, dangerous sex, prayer, laziness and the list goes on. How about we ban the governments ability to STEAL money from one person to "treat or uplift" others. Maybe we should have elections stop being about an endless checkbook being fought over by "do gooders" who can't point the light on any good thats been done without harm to others.

Stop trying to use government to save people from themselves. There is no cure for DEATH. It will come in some form giving up all the money you ever make in life will not prevent that. Seek help for your projection of impending death and your avoidance of it is empowering dictators.

Im always glad to see there are people out there willing to make choices for others, why have freedom to choose he screams, I have decided your all idiots and will now make your choices based on my beliefs. I mean hitler was only trying to improve society himself so you can't hold this method of control against those who truly have out best benefits at their hearts.

Just cool for shocking the family with a swift shuffle across the floor

11,434 soldiers died under clinton 9841 under Bush. How many nations did Clinton free again? Saving money on gear never cost so many lives in "training history" We lost 28 men on one float and never fired a shot in anger. Mao Zedong Killed 20 million of his own chinese by forcing them to melt their farm tools to make STEEL. Starving his people. Sometime being STUPID and lacking ForeSight is deadly when you have central power vs free will.

btw this was a direct cause of civil war in the US.

OK give me some thumbs up for finding this nugget.
The Tariff of 1828, enacted on May 19, 1828 (ch. 55, 4 Stat. 270), was a protective tariff passed by the U.S. Congress. It was labeled the Tariff of Abominations by its southern detractors because of the effects it had on the Antebellum southern economy.

The goal of the tariff was to protect industry in the northern United States, which were being driven out of business by low-priced European and particularly British manufactured goods. This prompted the U.S. to put a tax on imported goods. The South, however, was harmed by having to pay higher prices on goods the region did not produce. By reducing the importation of British goods, it also made it difficult for the British to pay for the cotton they imported from the South.[1] The reaction in the South, particularly in South Carolina, would lead to the Nullification Crisis that began in late 1832.

Failing industries,do to exportation of the goods to foreign countries, protected via taxation . Sound familiar?

13.2 trillion dollars so far

Secondly KNOW what a small group can do. A small group of 50-100 people can BE AT your city council meeting AND/OR County Commission meetings. YOU CAN DEMAND they balance the local budget WITHOUT ANY FEDERAL OR STATE HANDOUTS.

Make your city/county independent of the rest of the country and you effectively DEPOWER Washington's pork. A show of force at the local level can scare straight the starting careers of future politicians.

If you can't run an independent local government then we can't depend on your community to vote to improve the country.
