You aren't in charge of anything except you, and only partially so because that is the human condition. You're posting suggestions on a guitar forum my man, not leading the world. I appreciate your forthrightness but those methods have not proved effective or profitable, they have only lead to more violent behavior because you reap what you sow. Active violence is not the way.

With the whole world rooting for the shooter you’re on the wrong side of history.

The whole world was taking vaccines and wearing masks. I was happy to be on the wrong side of history which is now the right side of history.

Many years ago I was ripped off for twenty bucks by a guy I knew. I tracked him down, tricked him into accompanying me to a secluded place, put him in a hard choke hold with my left arm, punched him all up in the right side of his face with my right fist, and then threw him off his bike into a ditch and threw his bike into the ditch after him. I didn't even get my $20 bucks back.

Keep telling me violence works. A better way would be to convince people to en masse cancel their insurance, or refuse vaccines and masks, or whatever the problem is. You gonna kill a used car salesman cause he sold you a lemon too? Men shouldn't be driven by every intense emotion that crosses their mind.

It was a B&T Station 6. Suppressor is integral and in this case very likely was a fake "Training" suppressor. The gun didn't jam. The way it's cocked and fired is convoluted. It's essentially a single shot closed bolt pistol based on the WWII era Welrod pistol.

In any case, no way the guy was a pro. If he was you wouldn't have any pictures of him and he definitely wouldn't have used that gun.

Thanks for posting that link. I didn't know anything about this gun. Outside of the fact that it is ugly as hell and has a terrible trigger/trigger guard, it does seem to have 1 purpose. Suppressed fire at a VERY close range. This review used the words 'bad breath close' :lol:

Seems the reload process is very cumbersome regardless and I'd be curious to find out if we ever determine the 'why' behind the shooter's choice of this gun? Like a bolt action rifle in pistol form - minus the accuracy?

Quote from article:

",,,the process was matter of rote and not altogether unpleasant: Press the trigger, rotate counter-clockwise to unlock the bolt, retract the bolt to extract the empty case, slide the bolt forward to chamber a new round, rotate the bolt clockwise to lock the bolt into batter and press the trigger again to fire another round. Lather, rinse and repeat for a total of 10 rounds. Could some consider it a rather lengthy and arduous process? While it is true that fatigue could have played a part in shooting this pistol, the Station SIX-9 isn’t intended for use in a traditional gunfight where multiple rounds are rapidly exchanged. It is designed to be deployed first—not shot fast..."

If the system doesn't work; if no one inside the system doesn't fix it; if no one outside of the system with oversight for the system doesn't fix it (government), then what recourse do the people subject to the system have? Most will work to change the system, and pressure government to improve the system...but it's been decades and many systems are not improving, most all are getting worse.

It should be no surprise that victims of the broken system, many who likely tried to work within the system and play by the rules, ended up being denied by the system. And some of those denied by the system, with no other recourse, or sufficient resources to fight within the system, took matters into their own hands using options that were available to them.

I'm surprised we don't see more of this...maybe we will?

I get that.

To me, there are too many What If's to risk my life or spend the rest of my life in jail just so I can be judge and jury. :dunno:

There is waste, bad decisions, shitty people all over the fucking place. We all just can't take matters into our own hands. There would be chaos.

What happens if we find a memo this CEO wrote stating he wanted to get the claim denials back down to industry standard (15% or whatever). What if we find out that the speculated deceased patient was going to die anyway? What if the claim that the speculated deceased patient had would have been denied by any of the big healthcare providers regardless? What if the claim denial was strictly based on a doctor's note in a chart? What if the claim denial was strictly a fat finger accident? Or AI?

Yeah, I'm going to the other extreme here - just trying to prove my point that vigilantism is not always the answer.

The Welrod was designated VP9, confusing eh ? The VP stood for Veterinary Pistol. It was used for putting down sick animals.

Not unlike the modern day HK VP9 ( volkspistole/People's pistol), it is also used for putting down sick animals. :-)

These are not benign garden variety emotions, the kind the observer just dismisses. These are the emotions only loss elicits. The kind of grief one never recovers from. The kind you eat the barrel of a gun over. I worked for decades in nursing so this hits home hard for me.
 
Need to fix the back piece and get it welded up or replaced so that the stock can be extended.
 
Mounted a single point on it so with some tension it is g2g. Foregrip folds out and it helps.

I used to run a single point on a 10.5” unbraced pistol. Works well if you lay the tube on your cheek. Follow up shots are a lot slower though. These days I use braces and 2 point MS-1s.
