Consumer Reports has a blog post up noting that gun accidents are a very minor cause of accidental deaths in the home. Poisoning and falls are what kill adults. Suffocation and drowning are the main killers of kids. (We need to outlaw those 5 gal assault buckets; if it just saves one child …)
There’s no word yet on when we will see CR do a Glock 21 v. the M1911 article.
When will Consumer Reports start reviewing government drones? Haven’t they killed over 170 children in the last 5 years? Maybe these things need to be recalled.
Glock 21 and the M1911…I have both, actually, several of the latter.
Very different handguns, serving different needs. The Glock is like Tupperware – functional, serviceable, but it lacks that certain something.
Still, I like it. But I love my 1911s – like the M1 Garand, it has both history and romance…
I could go on, but the spousal unit needs my attention…
John,
The N.R.A. I.L.A. just sent me a startling fact brought to light by none other than The Reverend Jesse Jackson, “You know that these weapons [Semi-Autos] can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue,” Who-da-thunk-it ? I am a good shot, but I do not know of anybody who is THAT GOOD.
