Talk of upcoming bans, making preparations, and about those preparing for your preparations.


Today someone posted about buying a number of AR15-style lower receivers in preparation for a new "Assault Weapons" ban. It is true that the upcoming US elections are creating fear in many firearms owners and hobbyists. This fear is reasonable- I'm sure everybody here remembers the days of $80.00 used Glock magazines and AK clones with their stocks welded open.

Should people prepare? Absolutely! Does this mean we should succumb to hysteria? Absolutely not!

Unfortunately, there are a lot of opportunist sellers out there who want you to succumb to hysteria. These folks are praying that you'll pay horrifically inflated prices based upon fear and speculation. While we have reason to be concerned, there's no reason to enter into panic buying mode today. (For the record, this isn't public bashing of the poster who bought those lowers. Frankly, he's being SMART about this. Read on...)

I've a Class III dealer for four years, have worked with/for Class II manufacturers and standard FFL dealers for 11 years, and have restored and resold firearms accessories for nearly 15 years. I know how things work during ban scares. It's always been in my best interests to get people to buy stuff from me. That said, I know what it's like to be on both sides of the counter and I know what it's like to get ripped off.

Here are some of the common tactics used by dealers to induce panic buying. I'll also explain how to find the best deals. Finally, I'll speak to what I think is 'next to go' should the wrong people get elected.

Yeah, some of this might seem cynical. I've been in this game long enough to know that it's REALITY.


How to Induce Panic Buying

1. It's all about psychology.

We all remember $80 used Glock mags and folding stocks welded into position for AWB compliance. Those were ugly days when the Clinton regime was in power. Firearms owners, especially "assault weapon" owners, remember the trouble they had determining if something was "preban" or "postban," searching high and low for "high capacity" magazines, and remember paying out the nose for everything. Handgun owners remember the S&W sellout. Ruger owners remember Bill Ruger's sellout on the magazine ban. Owners of three weird looking shotguns remember their guns becoming contraband overnight. Then there were so many executive orders banning further import of this or that- shades of the Steyr USR. It was an ugly and dark time, no doubt about it.

So tell me, how are you feeling right now? Do you remember all of that? Here's simple psychology- dredge up bad memories and people get fearful. They don't want to revert to those dark days. Now picture yourself as a dealer with a large stock of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and a bunch of "assault rifles" that aren't moving so well. Boy, those things sold well during the ban... If only you could go back to those days..... How do you reintroduce that fear?

2. Help get a psychological reaction through props.

That fear needs to return for those things to fly off the shelves, much less sell. Being reintroducing that fear with unflattering pictures of the Clintons, Obama, the Brady Bunch, John Kerry, and other traitors to the Constitution. Put them next to photos of Mao, Stalin, and Hitler. Clear shots of concentration camps, executions, and 09/11 are pretty handy too. Print out the text of anti-gun bills, even if they're outdated and/or have zero chance of passage. Highlight scary parts; don't be afraid to skip over multiple lines to make new sentences. (The mind concentrates upon what stands out. Bonus for matching up "assault weapon," ".22 tube-fed," and "felony" to make a totally new sentence!)

3. You must fight logic.

WOW, people are stopping and a few of them are obviously thinking! WAAAAAIT a minute- stopping is good but some of that thinking is not. People who think don't fall for crappy hand-stenciled cardboard signs that say "GIT 'EM B4 THEIR BANNED!!!" Worse yet, someone who understands the difference between their, there, and they're could wander by and make fun of you! Pigeons... You must end critical thinking and replace it with even more fear. But how..? That's simple- take a hint from anti-gunners and fight logic through stretching the truth and heaping doses of emotional rhetoric. Read on for a good example.....

4. Create an illusion of scarcity.

Tell those thinkers that other people are also pondering buying the same firearm that they're considering, so they better move fast! (FYI, infomercials wouldn't say "Act fast- supplies are limited!" if it didn't work.) Who cares that you've got a few hundred of those _insert whatever crappy "assault weapon" clone brand here_, tell 'em that YOU'RE RUNNING LOW AND THAT THEY HAVE TO ACT FAST! They don't need to know that you've got boxes of them stacked like cord wood- you must make them think that THESE ARE YOUR LAST ONES.

Act fast, WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

-----

Do you see what happened? The dishonest seller started by putting out a lot of things that were once expensive and/or illegal within recent memory. They brought back bad memories. Then they showed the faces of those who seek to return to those bad days. The dealer, knowing a logical mind would argue that such a ban isn't happening tomorrow, worked to override logic through a false illusion of scarcity and an illusion that the products are being sold at an accelerated rate.



How does one avoid this sleight of hand?

1. Knowledge

It's all but impossible to take advantage of anybody who knows what they're doing.

End of story.

Sellers who engage in funny business LIVE for people with imperfect knowledge. Here's a conversation I personally overheard at an Arizona Gun Show.

"Oh, you heard that big company making lever actions is going out of business? Yeah, it's true. Marlin stopped selling lever actions and is going out of business. Yup, I've got a few left. Had to raise the prices, though."

That seller took some poor sap for a bit over 120% OVER NEW MSRP on a used (and commonly available) Marlin 30-30. Yeah, that's MORE THAN DOUBLE NEW MSRP on a USED gun that's available everywhere.

...and yes, it was actually WINCHESTER that went out of business.

Dishonest? A sin? Bad karma? Look, I'm here to tell you that it's ALL fair game to a number of sellers out there. Wish whatever ill you desire upon them; they'll take it under consideration while they're making out THEIR deposit slip with YOUR money.

Most swindles aren't as blatant at this Marlin/Winchester switch, but they're just as bad. The bottom line is that YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO KNOW.

What do you NEED to know?

A. Which manufacturers make what you want.

You need to know who makes what it is that you want, as well as any clones of that item.

B. The quality reputation of each manufacturer's variant of what you want.

You need to know who makes crap and who makes good stuff. It's EASY to polish a turd. It's hard to make a turd work. Bad sellers don't care if it works; they'll polish it up because there's some sucker with cash who won't know the difference.

C. MSRP of what you want.

Know what it sells for as per the manufacturer.

D. Internet pricing of what you want.

Know what a realistic asking price is for that item.

E. SOLD auction data of what you want.

Dig through auctions that are already complete. This allows you to see what your item truly sells for on the open market vs asking price vs MSRP.

F. General availability of what you want.

It's to your benefit to know if what you seek is truly rare, if it's piled up in multiple warehouses, and/or if it's burned for heat because coal isn't getting any cheaper.

G. Proposed laws regarding what you want AND the chances of passage.

Is your item truly on some politician's hit list? If so, do they have a chance of passing their ban? Do they have a chance within the recent future, or will it take the election of a Hillary or an Obama? Or a new anti-gun governor or mayor? Or is their ban so stupid that it'll never pass?

The dishonest seller has you at a HUGE disadvantage if you aren't educated!

2. Time

You will generally pay more to get something quickly.

Do you need a new car TODAY? That means you won't have time to do too much shopping and will take the best deal TODAY. Same scoop with a firearm and with firearms accessories. Demanding something NOW means that you won't have time to search the market for the best deal. Maybe you'll find the best deal that's out there RIGHT NOW, but is the best deal RIGHT NOW the same as the best deal after a week, two weeks, a month, etc., of searching?

Probably not.

Strike a happy medium; your knowledge (see point #1) will tell you when you've found a good deal. Adjust time spent for the rarity of the item; you can afford to spend time searching for and walking away from AR15 clones until you've found the right gun. You'll have to move quickly if you find that Dermo Wasp that you've been seeking. Just remember to fall back upon your knowledge- time spent researching those issues will always help you to know when the time is right.

3. Have cash in hand.

"Money talks and bullshit walks."

So you've got a Bob-a-Matic 2000. Only five were ever made. It's got the original box and a 69-round magazine filled with its proprietary 6.37x4,526 caliber ammo. The book says it's worth $2,200.00; definitely more than the seller's IMI Uzi Model A for $1,200. But you want that Uzi and you got into that Bob-a-Matic 2000 for next to nothing...

The seller gives you the look he reserves for the beanie baby people and says "So what?"

Yeah, that book says the seller is up $1,000.00 if they do that trade. Whatever! It doesn't pay their bills unless it sells. Their thought is that you obviously can't sell it for $2,200. Otherwise you would have already done so, given them the remaining $1,200 for their Uzi, and pocketed the remaining grand.

It's one thing to have trade bait. It's another thing to rely upon trades. Maybe you've got a Steyr AUG. Maybe the seller just dropped a few grand, took one in, and doesn't need your AUG. Or maybe your Performance Center S&W isn't what the seller can move. Perhaps they just undervalue your stuff.

NO ONE undervalues greenbacks. Even the most disinterested old geezer discussing .123 Nitro Watters Improved Ackley looks up when someone waves green in their direction. Have CASH.

4. Learn to bargain and learn when to bargain.

In many cases, buying firearms and accessories is like buying a car. The price tag is often what sellers hope to get if you're a millionaire, a lunatic, or are intoxicated. So how do you take the price down? It's called bargaining. Dickering. Haggling.

Whatever you want to call it, bargaining is an art form. It's more than I have room to discuss here. Gruffly opening that you'll pay half of the advertised price 'and nothing more for this rust heap' insults the seller and guarantees that you'll be paying the full price. Be nice and have some empathy for the seller. Maybe the old guy's wife is sickly and this is going for medicine. Perhaps that 20-something just got a huge speeding ticket and has to cover their fine. Or maybe they just found something they want more than what they're trying to sell.

You have already been, could be there, or will be there some day.

Let that soak in for a minute. You need to understand where the seller is coming from.

That said, now think about you. Think about your needs, your budget, and your desires.

Mix that understanding of the seller's needs and wants with your needs and wants. You'll be surprised to see how much better of a discount you receive by understanding BOTH sides of the transaction.

Is it always appropriate to bargain? Nearly always. The only exception is for truly rare stuff, impossible-to-find stuff, or for items that are already at fire sale prices. If you just bought a papered machinegun without a bolt and parts are rare, don't screw around when you find a bolt because you don't know when you'll find another. So you found a REAL gas trap Garand and the seller wants $400? Don't waste time trying to talk him to $300; someone like me WILL come up behind you, toss $400 onto the table, and assure the gentleman that I'll take it sight unseen as-is with all faults.

Oh, and I'll smile at you as I walk away with what could have been YOUR $400 gas trap Garand. I love to see the looks on peoples' faces when I kick their butt for being dumb.

Your knowledge - see #1 - will help you to know when to bargain and when to cough it up without complaint. Don't screw yourself out of a STEAL!



Staring into the Crystal Ball - a Dealer Gives His Honest Opinions as to What's Next on the Chopping Block

So what could be an issue in the future? Here are my thoughts - and no, I'm not trying to sell you anything. These are the items I'm seeking out for me the person, not me the dealer. (Let your own thoughts and priorities should be your guide.)

1. Ammunition feeding devices (mags, belts, links, clips, etc.): I'm buying these up for whatever firearms I own, ones I want to purchase, and for ones I might possibly end up with in the future. This is because "killer clips" are definitely in the crosshairs, were subject to the old federal AWB, and are still the subject of many state and municipal bans. Remember, the world's greatest firearm is a heavy single-shot without a way to feed it ammunition!

2. Ammunition and reloading components: We're already suffering from price increases in ammunition, brass, and lead. I don't put it past somebody to attempt to ban ammunition that doesn't meet some wonky standard, isn't specially made for ease of microstamping, etc. That's why I'm stocking up now and kicking myself for not stocking up back when things were far less expensive. Oh, and a firearm without ammo is an overpriced unergonomic club.

3. Spare parts: I consider it foolish not to have spare parts for firearms I currently own, ones I want to own, and ones I could have in the future. A broken gun is just as good as a working one without ammo (see #2). FYI, witness the instability of parts kits due to the non-sporting barrel importation ban!

4. NFA that could be subject to bans: While NFA is usually off the radar, that the AWB did effect SBRs, SBSs, and named DDs (the terrible trio of non-sporting shotguns). I am building and/or purchasing whatever NFA stuff I want sooner than later due to the time element involved. If nothing else, I want proof that my build and/or purchase was made far before any ban took effect. (Incidentally, those of you with registered MG conversion parts should consider multiple spare parts for host guns, especially high wear parts. Having a second host gun ready isn't such a bad idea, either.)

4 1/2. Threading and integral suppressors: The old federal AWB and many local and state-level bans made threaded barrels illegal. Further, ATF judged sound suppressors to be flash hiders. Remember that a sound suppressor is an expensive paperweight if you can't attach it to your firearm. Get those barrels threaded now!

5. Title I (i.e. non-NFA) stuff I want: The highest on the hit list will be "assault" rifles/pistols/shotguns and .50 BMG rifles. "Normal" handguns that don't microstamp (i.e. all of them) may follow soon after, as could handguns that don't meet CA/MD-style 'safe handgun' standards. This is why I'm chasing down a nice Barrett M82A1 .50, four "preban" Tec-9 pistols [for an eventual Tec-9 registered F/A conversion bolt, see #4], a Saiga-12, a HK Mark-23, a M1A, etc.

Again, remember that your own thoughts and priorities should be your guide. Not into NFA or in a non-NFA state? #4 and #4 1/2 should be tossed. Think my ammo concerns aren't valid? Toss #2. Go with what you think is important and what will make YOU happy.

THIS IS A SHORT COMMENTARY BY TEDDY JACOBSON REGARDING THE QUESTIONS ASKED OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The American people have every right to want to know about a persons personal life and with whom they were either associates or friends or whatever in detail.

For Example: If you were applying for a job as a Police Officer whether it be City or State or Federal you would be asked these very detailed questions about your associates in your present and past. I went through all this and I know this for a fact. YOU WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A POLYGRAPH TEST WHETHER YOU WANTED TO OR NOT.

If you were joining an elite organization regardless of who they are, in my case it was MASONIC, they had the right to interrogate me for hours.

I see nothing wrong with the intense line of personal questions to evaluate a persons character. From what I have seen I doubt that any legitimate Police organization would hire any of the three people running for President of the United States.

Would you hire any of them based on their past associations to work for your company if you had one. ASK DONALD TRUMP.

New Democrat AMMO Scam in Progress!

(Click HERE to become a PSU CERTIFIED RELOADER)

Not to be outdone by the over 87 new anti gun initiatives since the Dems took over, Pelosi, Kennedy, McCarthy and the rest of the Liberal "disarm America" band have come up with the MOST INSIDIOUS PLAN EVER: "If we can't get the guns, let's go after the ammo" in the words of Nancy Pelosi!

There are now 18 (as of the end of 07) new initiatives in committee that would make it difficult or impossible to BUY OR STORE AMMO for many of the guns the Libs want to get rid of. Their logic: so what if we can't stop the guns, if you can't buy ammo, it's the same end result!

EVEN MORE INSIDIOUS: This pack of deceivers are trying to use REGULATORY rather than Legislative channels to get rid of your ammo! Typically Congress could only manage legislation, but with the Dem focus on the Presidency, they are already actively pulling strings at OSHA, FEMA, TREASURY, ATF, GAO and over 10 other Regulatory Agencies to BAN many types and quantities of ammo including .223, 7.62, calibers over 25, etc.

One rule makes it illegal to "store primers, gunpowder and casings" in the same place-- even in completed rounds! This is worded as a "residential and workplace safety" rule ala California Propositions, but is a back door way to make it illegal to STORE ammo, even in your own home, garage, shed, basement, etc.

Another initiative makes it illegal to buy more than one box at a time or to store more than 5 boxes unless you are an FFL (click HERE to find out how to get your own Home FFL while you still can). This would not only destroy the ammo industry, but make "tracking" impossible. You've seen the jokes about how we can track cows but not illegals: yet they believe they can now track ammo down to individual buyers? NOT.

Why aren't a lot of people just buying tons of ammo to store and "grandfather" just in case? Well, a lot are. However, the Dems are initiating this at a time when 7.62 has gone from $80/1,000 to over 300, and berdan/non corrosive with brass is impossible to find at ANY price. Some LE departments are having to buy $400/1,000 BOXED hunting rounds of 55 grain .223 because good quality big lots are just not available due to China, steel, and the wars. As an FFL dealer, you still have access to pallet load grandfathered orders: FOR NOW!

BREAKING NEWS!

The Dem proposal for "separate storage" was withdrawn by Pelosi (with advice from Hillary) to be re-introduced after the election. This was a deft move to keep sweeping anti-ammo legislation from becoming a campaign issue. BUT: VPC and the other left wing wackos have not been deterred. They are now going State by State with OVER 36 initiatives to BAN ANY AMMO CONTAINING LEAD.

These idiotic new regs are called "The infant lead protection act" and "The endangered species poison act" and other such acts, laws and propositions! THEY ARE REALLY THINLY DISGUISED LAWS TO BAN ALL LEAD IN ALL AMMO, MEANING BANNING ALL AMMO AND MAKING THE GUNS THAT USE IT USELESS. WATCH your State referenda for these upcoming NEW BANS-- they are even coming up in Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Florida and other pro gun States! The banners are disguising them with emotional key words like lead in toys, infant poison, save the Condor, and many others. Your contributions here help us FLAG these key words on Google and Yahoo to expose what they really are! When was the last time a Condor swooped down and grabbed a .357 in flight? The banners are trying to sneakily extend the wetlands protection anti-lead laws to ALL lead, in all calibers, for all guns! Will the public buy this sham? YES, unless WE all get the word out!

TRASHY WTC SECURITY

HOMELESS GUY FINDS KEY PLAN IN A CAN

By JEREMY OLSHAN and KEVIN FASICK

PRINTS & THE PAUPER: Mike Fleming, who lives on the streets, yesterday holds up the confidential, floor-by-floor schematics of the Freedom Tower that he stumbled upon in this trash basket.
PRINTS & THE PAUPER: Mike Fleming, who lives on the streets, yesterday holds up the confidential, floor-by-floor schematics of the Freedom Tower that he stumbled upon in this trash basket.

WTC Blueprints Found in Garbage


April 18, 2008 --

It's a good thing Osama wasn't walking through SoHo yesterday morning.

Two sets of confidential blueprints for the planned Freedom Tower, which is set to rise at Ground Zero, were carelessly dumped in a city garbage can on the corner of West Houston and Sullivan streets, The Post has learned.

PHOTOS: WTC Blueprints Found In Trash

Port Authority's News Blackout Is Sinister

Experts said the detailed, floor-by-floor schematics contain enough detail for terrorists to plot a devastating attack.

"Secure Document - Confidential," warns the title page on each of the two copies of the 150-page schematic that a homeless, recovering drug addict discovered in the public trash can.

"Any time a sensitive document is unintentionally left behind, it's a treasure trove for a potential adversary," aid Robert Strang, CEO of Investigative Management Group, a global security firm. "It enables them to look for vulnerabilities in design that they can target - an age-old military tactic."

Informed of what the homeless man, Mike Fleming, had found, shocked Port Authority officials called it an egregious security lapse.

"Violating these protocols is cause for serious disciplinary action - up to termination for employees and breach of contract and legal action for contractors," said Candace McAdams, PA director of media relations.

One of the identical sets was missing the first 14 pages, which is particularly alarming.

Besides the PA, there are 11 entities listed on each page of the blueprints, including the builder, Tishman Construction, and architects Skidmore Owings and Merrill.

Although the documents, dated Oct. 5, 2007, are not a complete set of blueprints, they do contain details such as plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns.

"Certainly, if you know the thickness of concrete, someone with an explosive background can develop and plot an attack," Strang said.

That was exactly the thought that ran through Fleming's mind when he found the documents and alerted The Post.

Fleming, 28, originally from Ohio, said he was rummaging through the garbage in search of cardboard, "because the concrete is so cold to sleep on," when he noticed the documents and the warning to "properly destroy if discarded."


SO YOU THINK IT JUST HAPPENED BY 19 PEOPLE ???

Netanyahu says he won't honor any deal Olmert makes with Abbas



Netanyahu
Updated 04/18/08 17:19 Israel time
Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu told Israeli papers that the IDF knew exactly how to counter the violence in Gaza but was being stopped by "a failure of the political leadership." Instead, he said, the Olmert government was trying to concoct a phony diplomatic deal with the Palestinians. Netanyahu said that the next election would be a referendum on the current government's machinations, and that he had no intention of honoring any such deal if he is elected.

War with Israel is possible and we are getting ready – Assad

April 17, 2008, 1:31 PM (GMT+02:00)

The Syrian ruler Bashar Assad made this statement in a speech in Damascus reported Thursday, April 17.

Earlier this week, DEBKAfile’s military sources reported that Damascus has deployed the 10th armored corps at the Massaneh crossing of Mount Hermon. It links up with the northwestern positions the 14th division took up last month on the Syrian-Israeli border which cuts through the Hermon range.

Syrian troops are now strung along a continuous crescent-shaped line from the central Lebanese mountains through Mt Dov on the western slopes of Mt. Hermon and up to southeastern Lebanon. This deployment, commanding Syria’s Israeli and Lebanese borders, is under the command of the president’s brother, Maher Assad.

The 10th armored corps was moved forward straight after Syria’s snap civil defense exercise which crashed after three hours last Thursday, April 10. The exercise was ordered without notice by president Bashar Assad on the last day of Israel’s five-day homeland defense drill.

DEBKAfile’s military sources are criticizing Israel officials for attributing Syria’s latest military movements to domestic troubles inside the Syrian leadership. They say this is throwing sand in the public’s eyes and at one with the government’s practice of playing down all the heightened military threats to Israel – whether from Syria, the Lebanese Hizballah or the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza.

The IDF’s Northern Command officers report that the Syrian army’s buildup opposite Israel has accelerated in April and warn that its units are arrayed for a quick transition to attack mode.

The link-up between Syria’s 10th and 14th divisions on the border running through Mt Hermon should have been a wake-up call for the government in Jerusalem, they say, and elicited counter-moves to show Damascus that Israel is ready to meet every contingency.

Sunday, April 13, prime minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas met briefly to rough out the position Abbas will put before President George W. Bush whom he meets at the White House in ten days. Olmert made the gesture of licensing the entry to Israel of 5,000 Palestinian construction workers. This gesture was challenged by security services as a carrying the risk of terrorist infiltration and by economic leaders who say the Palestinians will take Israeli jobs.

The "Heckler & Koch" P7 Self-loading Pistol was designed for law enforcement agencies. It's serial production began in 1979. The P7 became the most original pistol in it's class designed since 1927 when was created first pistol with "double-action" type hammer mechanism. The P7 is in service with some Police units in Germany.

The "Heckler & Koch" company is a German famous for it's unique design and unordinary technical solution firearms.The "Heckler & Koch" P7 M13 Self-loading Pistol

Pistol automatic works on partly free lock recoil principle with a gas delay system. One of the most unordinary feature is pistols cocking system integrated in the grip. Hammer is cocked only when grip is properly held. In other way hammer is dropped and pistol is safe. Such design decision made unnecessary usage of manual safeties as a cocking leveler works as an automatic safety-lock as well. The P7 Pistol has a "double-action" only trigger mechanism and can be safely carried with a loaded round. This feature allows to increase pistol's combat load by one round in extreme situation.

Cocking leveler requires quiet hard push power although even light power it is enough to hold it. When magazine is out of rounds and the slide locks in it's backward position it is enough to release the leveler and to push it once more to release the slide.

Cartridge-case extractor works as a barrel load indicator as well. When a round is loaded the extractor protrudes above the slide and is both visible and can be felt by shooter's hand.

Gas delay system has much inThe P7 M13 Self-loading Pistol common with the HK MP-5 Submachine Gun. It uses pressure from the just fired cartridge and it's function is to reduce the recoil power and recoil impact felt by the shooter. One more solution to minimize recoil power became a low profile slide combined with pistol's low center of gravity. These features considerably decrease shooters felt recoil power and positively affect on fire accuracy.

The P7 is completed with a fixed to the frame polygonal rifling barrel manufactured by cold hammer forging. Such feature has some advantages over convenient rifled barrel such as slightly improved fire accuracy and bullet initial speed. Polygonal rifled barrel also is easier cleaned and has increased service life. Despite of it's short looking barrel the P7 has usual dimensions one comparing with other pistols.

Pistol has an opened fixed sight. The rear sight is adjustable.

The "Heckler & Koch" P7 Pistol is produced in the following models:

- The PSP Pistol (Polizei Seldstable Pistole or Police Self-loading Pistol) was designed by "Heckler & Koch" since the 1971. The first prototypes of the PSP Pistol appeared in 1976 and it's serial production began in 1979. After it's adoption by a number of German police formations it was oficially renamed to Pistole 7 - HK P7. In 1981 the P7 pistol was replaced in the production line by it's improved model P7 M8.Partly disassembled "Heckler & Koch" P7 Pistol

- The P7 M8 is recently a base pistol model. However there are only some minor differences between it and the HK PSP. The P7 M8 has a smaller trigger guard and European-style magazine release in the bottom of the frame.

- The P7 M10 is a model intended for USA market. It appeared in 1991. Pistol is chambered for 10 x 21 mm (.40 S&W) cartridge. It is similar to the base model except slightly larger dimensions. There were intentions to design the P7 chambered for 12.43 x 23 mm (.45 ACP) cartridge but unfortunately these efforts failed due to complicated in production and expensive recoil absorber.

- The P7 M13 pistol was designed in 1982. It is intended for military or law enforcement forces only. It is similar to the P7 M8 except a 13 round magazine.

- The P7 K3 has appearance almost identical to the P7 M8 and P7 M13 pistols. The main differences are in unique decreasing recoil power hydraulic buffer. This pistol features good fire control. Basically it is chambered for 9 x 17 mm (.380 ACP) cartridges. Although it has removable barrel and can additionally be converted to .22LR or 7.65 x 17 mm (.32 ACP) caliber cartridges using easy-to-install conversion kit. This feature provides economical practice shooting. The K3 model has no gas delay system of it's lower power cartridges. This model is mostly intended for target shooting and self-defense.

One more variant of the P7 Pistol is the EP7. It is manufactured in Greece EVO factory under license and is iThe "Heckler & Koch" P7 M13 fitted with sound suppressern service with the Greece armed forces and police.

The "Heckler & Koch" P7 Pistol had a really successful design however in spite of it pistol is recently replaced in production line by new USP series. The main reasons were morally outdated design developed more than 20 years ago and a high production price. The P7 costs approximately $1 100 - 1 300 depending from model however official "Heckler & Koch" retailers provide a lifetime warranty for this pistol. The HK P7 Pistols are still in production.

Advantages

Good fire accuracy for a compact pistol and quiet high reliability. Comfortable handling (for 8 round magazine pistols) and compact dimensions. No manual safeties. Pistol is well made and features very good balance. Light trigger push power compared to ordinary "single-action" pistols. Also it features low recoil power determined by low positioned barrel.

Disadvantages

Low magazine capacity. High price. Pistol requires precise care and cleaning of it's unordinary internal design. After firing two or three magazines weapon becomes so hot that it is impossible to touch slide.

Obama is not AmericanWhy Jews Against Obama?

The Jewish Task Force (JTF.org) is an organization of right wing Jews and righteous gentiles who follow the teachings of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. Thus we are opposed to Israel surrendering land for “peace.” We are also opposed to Islamic terrorism, which we believe is an integral part of Islam.

Unfortunately America has refused to win every single war she has fought after World War II. Our leaders have been more concerned about world opinion, sparing “innocent civilians” and “winning hearts and minds.” Israel has done the equivalent in her recent battle with Hezbollah in Lebanon.Obama in Muslim Dress

This refusal to win wars is all due to the pernicious influence of the Left, which has gained a major foothold in the Democrat party in the U.S., as well as the European Union and Israel. Therefore, JTF is also opposed to domestic fifth columnists who attempt to undermine America’s and Israel’s will to defend themselves and to properly fight their wars. Barack Hussein Obama is an example of a fifth columnist. We have started Jews Against Obama to expose him as being just that.

  • Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and his step father was a Muslim from Indonesia. Obama and Sharpton
  • Obama’s childhood mentor was a communist.
  • Obama attended Muslim Basuki School and a Catholic school in Indonesia and his religion was registered as Muslim in both schools. Despite this overwhelming evidence, Obama insists he was never a Muslim.
  • Obama has promised that in his first year of office, he will invite Iranian terrorist dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the White House in order improve relations and relax trade restrictions with Iran. This would certainly lead to the sale of advanced American technology, which would enable Iran to develop nuclear bombs much more quickly.
  • Obama is a supporter of Kenyan Muslim Raila Odinga, who recently lost in that country’s election, and who wants to institute Islamic Sharia law as the law of that land. Raila claims to be Obama’s first cousin.
  • Obama wants Muslim terrorists in Guantanamo to have access to the American legal system. Note that these Guantanamo attorneys [who represent these terrorists pro bono] are supporting Obama.
  • Obama's foreign policy advisors from the Carter Administration are notoriously anti-Israel and antisemitic.
  • A non-profit organization with Obama on its board gave money to the terrorist-supporting Arab American Action Network, which favors Israel's destruction and is completely against America enforcing any of her immigration laws.
  • Obama helped raise money for Muslim terrorist refugee camps in the Middle East.
  • Obama has been endorsed by communist Daniel Ortega (former head of the Weather Underground organization), communist Tom Hayden, Jesse Jackson, and Muslim racist and antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
  • Obama's National Campaign Cochairman is congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., a notorious racist and antisemite.
  • Obama's Pastor, who Obama claims is his mentor, traveled with Muslim racist and antisemite Louis Farrakhan to Libya in 1984 to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

These are only a few of many, many issues. Please join us in our fight against Barack Hussein Obama and help save America and Israel.


THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM

Muslim TerroristsWe know it. Islam is NOT a religion of peace. Yet, the pundits in Washington keep telling us that most of Islam is peaceful. Why is it that we never hear any of the "peaceful" Muslims speak out against terrorist atrocities? Ever since the Attack on America on September 11, 2001 that JTF predicted in advance, we have heard a never-ending chorus of voices from government, academia, and the media assuring us that the Islamic terrorists who attacked the Trade Towers and the Pentagon are not representative of “true Islam.” Could it be that our governments are too busy doing oil deals to take any action to stop the terror and violence across the globe? Instead, they launch fake wars and lead our military (those who are willing to lay down their lives for our freedom) into a death zone where they are turned into a type of military police and do not even have the armor or equipment they need. No one wants to say it but we will.

Muslim Nazi ConnectionWhile Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and lunatic ayatollahs try to bring their messianic vision of world destruction and continue to build nuclear weapons they fully intend to use, nothing is done at all. The United Nations simply issues another warning. Bush talks about sanctions. But why is it that nothing is ever done? Why didn't they just bomb the Iranian nuclear sites from the air? Because these leaders are so bent on having a “New World Order” and so deep in their oil deals, they trade the lives of Jews and Americans for power and money.

Islam is NOT a religion of peace at all. Muhammad (who was illiterate throughout his life) was a desert warrior who claimed he was a prophet without any witnesses and converted the masses by sword. He “married” a six year old girl, broke treaties, surprise attacked, and wiped out entire peoples. He proclaimed that it was acceptable to lie to the enemy to win a war. This is their example. This is what we are up against.

  • Koran Sura 5:51 commands Muslims not to take Jews and Christians (infidels) as friends
  • Koran Sura 9:29 commands Muslims to fight against Jews and Christians until they either submit to Allah or die by the sword.
  • Koran Sura 2:65-66 and Sura 5:60 contain references to Jews as “apes and swine to be despised and rejected.”

This is a despicable and racist death cult. The children are taught this in their school and children's songs contain phrases like “until their blood runs in the streets” and “we will become martyrs for Allah”. Arab television contains propaganda with shows depicting Jews using blood from Muslim children to make Passover matzah. Women are treated like slaves and stoned to death if they are raped. The Muslim Arabs aligned with Hitler in WWII and proclaim that the “job was never finished”.

All terrorist attacks are perpetrated by Muslim Arabs. How can this be overlooked and ignored? This is the “peaceful Islam” we hear from the elite traitors in Washington, the elites in Israel, and the United Nations. It's time we took a stand.

Please help us and join in the fight. We need your help.

5.2 earthquake rocks large region of Midwest

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) - Residents across the Midwest were awakened Friday by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled skyscrapers in Chicago's Loop and homes in Cincinnati but appeared to cause no major injuries or damage.

The quake just before 4:37 a.m. was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 45 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt in such distant cities as Milwaukee, Des Moines, Iowa, and Atlanta, nearly 400 miles to the southeast.

"It shook our house where it woke me up," said David Behm of Philo, 10 miles south of Champaign. "Windows were rattling, and you could hear it. The house was shaking inches. For people in central Illinois, this is a big deal. It's not like California."

In Mount Carmel, 15 southeast of the epicenter, a woman was trapped in her home by a collapsed porch but was quickly freed and wasn't hurt, said Mickie Smith, a dispatcher at the police department. The department took numerous other calls, though none reported anything more serious than objects knocked off walls and out of shelves, she said.


Bonnie Lucas, a morning co-host at WHO-AM in Des Moines, said she was sitting in her office when she felt her chair move. She grabbed her desk, and then heard the ceiling panels start to creak. The shaking lasted about 5 seconds, she said.

The quake is believed to have involved the Wabash fault, a northern extension of the New Madrid fault about six miles north of Mount Carmel, Ill., said United States Geological Survey geophysicist Randy Baldwin.

The last earthquake in the region to approach the severity of Friday's temblor was a 5.0 magnitude quake that shook a nearby area in 2002, Baldwin said.

"This is a fairly large quake for this region," he said. "They might occur every few years."

Initially reported as a 5.4-magnitude earthquake, the USGS revised its estimate to 5.2. Two aftershocks during the next three hours measured 2.6 and a 2.5.

"This was widely felt, all the way to Atlanta, a little bit in Michigan," said USGS geophysicist Carrieann Bedwell.

In Cincinnati, Irvetta McMurtry said she felt the rattling for up to 20 seconds.

"All of a sudden, I was awakened by this rumbling shaking," said McMurtry, 43. "My bed is an older wood frame bed, so the bed started to creak and shake, and it was almost like somebody was taking my mattress and moving it back and forth."

Lucas Griswold, a dispatcher in West Salem, said the Edwards County sheriff's department received reports of minor damage and no injuries.

"Oh, yeah, I felt it. It was interesting," Griswold said. "A lot of shaking."

In Louisville, Ky., the quake caused some bricks to fall off a building near downtown. Television video showed them strewn in the street.

In Chicago, officials were checking structures downtown to ensure there was no damage. The quake also shook skyscrapers in downtown Indianapolis, about 160 miles northeast of the epicenter.

The strongest earthquake on record with an epicenter in Illinois occurred in 1968, when a 5.3-magnitude temblor was recorded about 75 miles southeast of St. Louis, according the USGS. The damage was minor but widespread and there were no serious injuries.

In 1811 and 1812, the New Madrid fault produced a series of earthquakes estimated at magnitude 7.0 or greater said to be felt as far away as Boston. They were centered in the Missouri town of New Madrid (pronounced MAD rid), 140 miles southeast of St. Louis.

Experts say that with the much higher population in the Midwest, another major quake along the New Madrid fault zone could destroy buildings, bridges, roads and other infrastructure, disrupt communications and isolate areas.

ISRAELI TRAITORS

Negotiating Away Jerusalem

April 16, 2008 | From theTrumpet.com
The Olmert administration has made a secret pact with the Palestinians, promising to hand over Atarot Airport in northern Jerusalem. Can such concessions bring peace?

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has agreed, on behalf of Israel, to surrender Atarot Airport to Palestinian control according to a report recently published by local Jerusalem newspaper Kol HaZman.

This concession was made during a series of secret talks the Israeli government is conducting with Palestinian Authority negotiators. Staffers in Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office and Livni’s press secretary have confirmed that the foreign minister has indeed been conducting negotiations with the Palestinians, but refused to comment further on the issue.

Atarot Airport, which is located in northern Jerusalem, was a domestic airport up until it was transferred to Israel Defense Forces control in 2001—after Palestinian terrorists fired shots at the control tower. Since the transfer, Atarot has been used as a springboard to combat Palestinian terrorism. The transfer of this airport to Palestinian Authority control would surrender one of Israel’s strategic assets.

Jerusalem municipality officials are saying that this concession would represent a de facto recognition of the division of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Major Uri Lupolianski was astonished upon hearing about Livni’s secret agreement. He has stated that if this agreement is carried out, it will be a grave security failure for Israel and a significant concession of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem. “It is inconceivable that while Israeli flights from Atarot have been stopped because of security fears, the threat will now become even more severe, with control of the entire area being given over to the PA,” he said. Knowing that the Fatah terrorist group Al Aqsa has been carrying out numerous attacks against Israeli citizens in recent weeks, Lupolianski is warning that “hostile airplanes” in the skies of Jerusalem will be the likely result of ceding the Atarot Airport to the Palestinian Authority.

The Olmert administration is trying to weaken its enemies in Gaza and make peace with the Palestinian Authority by making concession after concession to Fatah. At the end of the day, however, both Hamas and Fatah have the same goal—the transformation of all Israel into a Palestinian state. Israel’s policy of appeasement will end with it losing everything it once held dear. In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
