I imagine he gets some kind of deal, but 9mm incendiary rounds tend to go for about $50 for 20 rounds. If he paid the normal price, the video cost several hundred dollars.>> ^Croccydile:

Always been curious to the costs involved with these videos. Does anyone know how much money he spent with those incendiary rounds?

There are conversion kits to make a Glock 17 automatic. It's my guess that's what he's using as Glock 18s are comparatively rare and FPS Russia doesn't seem the type to make that kind of naming mistake.

A fully automatic Glock 17... isn't that a Glock 18 then?

Seeing Colbert "play it straight" when speaking to gay people...irony at it's best. I love the whole It Gets Better concept. I wish I had heard the same thing when I was a kid dealing with bullies.
The bully he speaks of in the vid could have easily pounded the kids head into the sidewalk so I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to antagoize the bad guy. I see this more as a moral story, not meant to be taken so literally. But I do think that if turning the tables on the bully works, then maybe there will be one less kid who brings a Glock to school and get even a different way.

He explained the "mishap" due to the gun's safety being in the same place as on the holster release (using a Glock he did not have this trouble) but yeah, he basically summed it up as his own fault and posted it as a warning to anyway getting lazy with gun safety

I just fucking posted a comment myself!

Your argument seems confused to me sir. Access to guns = Killings at school?
You are right though, same 'pattern' can be observed here. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/23/finland.schoolsworldwide .
IMO only certain trained professionals (+psych eval) absolutely require, and therefore, should have access to non-sporting guns, thats it. If you want to have access to guns designed to kill people (alot, quickly, efficiently), and defend your fellow countryman, become a trained professional. >> ^Buck:

"In 2007, a deranged student killed 32 people at Virginia Tech -- 30 of them in a very short period of time in one building. He didn't need high-capacity magazines because he had two guns and reloaded.
There was no one to stop him.
School shootings that have been halted were almost always stopped by the happenstance of an armed citizen on school property.
In 2002, an immigrant in Virginia started shooting his classmates at the Appalachian Law School in Grundy. Two of his classmates retrieved guns from their cars, forcing the killer to drop his weapon and allowing a third classmate to tackle him.
Thrre dead.
In Santee, Calif., in 2001, when a student began shooting his classmates, the school activated its "safe school plan" -- as the principal later told CNN -- by sending a "trained campus supervisor" to stop the killer.
Possibly not realizing that he was in a gun-free zone, the killer responded by shooting the trained campus supervisor three times. Fortunately, an armed off-duty San Diego policeman happened to be bringing his daughter to school that day. With a gun, he stopped the killer and held him at bay until more police could arrive.
Two dead.
In 1997, a student at Pearl High School in Pearl, Miss., had already shot several people at his high school and was headed for the junior high school when assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieved a .45 pistol from his car and pointed it at the gunman's head, ending the slaughter.
Two dead.
In 1998, a student attending a junior high school dance at a restaurant in Edinboro, Pa., started shooting, whereupon the restaurant owner pulled out his shotgun, chased the gunman from the restaurant and captured him for the police.
One dead.
See the pattern?"
---------------------
"Letter writer Barry Ruhl is concerned about a new gun law being proposed in Florida. The changes would bring Florida's laws in line with Utah's. Both require a permit to carry a concealed handgun, but in Utah open-carry is also allowed. It would also allow non-felons to carry in all public places including schools. Ruhl fears that this will degrade public safety.
I would like to point out that Utah's murder rate is just 1.3 per 100,000 and it has never had a school shooting. When Utah enacted its handgun carry laws in 1995, its murder rate was 3.9, three times higher than it is today. Canada's murder rate is 1.8.
In each and every state that has passed a handgun carry law, all rates of crime have dropped immediately and significantly."

So it is a comedy to you Jigga? And the others have the right to be a bit upset because you labeled it humorous, when to everyone else it is not? Then why argue so vehemently with Sheppard and Yogi at the their comments? Why say you clearly labeled its intent, when its intent to you is comedy?

How about the label "Ten Glocks versus Drug Suspect" or "Ten Thugs versus Unarmed Man."

And even the title now is numerically incorrect. It was one officer against one man--the others who came after never pulled their triggers. And though this seems nit picky, it is not. You could call it "One Premature Cop Unloads."

Last point Jigga, you state that only 3-5 seconds after the man goes limp that police could clearly be heard saying "get on the ground?" Well, I wasn't there, and cameras suck at transplanting real life on screen. I heard it loud and clear before the guy got shot (But still too late to be considered an adequate warning) and you know what? With the walls, hallways, noise and such, the suspect still may not have heard it. Or he may have. You, me, no one can know.

I just had an interesting conversation with my Oklahoman, ex-military, gun-loving 87-year-old father. Conservative to the core. Big NRA supporter.

I asked him how he felt about possibly making semi-automatic Glocks with 30 bullet magazines illegal. That the only purpose for them was to kill and kill quickly.

He got mad. Big surprise. "There are no handguns that have 30 bullet magazines. You read that in the New York Times, didn't you?"

When I found on Glock's website that the magazine actually held 33 bullets, he got real quiet. And he agreed that banning such a gun made sense.

There is hope, my friend, there is hope. And it is facts that will lead the way.

That is becoming my mantra. I love facts.

Hope you and your extended family and friends are safe down there, with all the water worries.

While America's gun laws remain, so shall the massacres continue.

>> ^jwray:

Yeah, fuck the TSA.
But how are they going to find a nonmetallic glock in somebody's jacket without either a scanner or a pat-down? Oh, right, because they don't exist. There is no such thing as a gun without metal in it.

But what about John Malkovich's gun from In the Line of Fire? Are you telling me that the movies lied to me??

Yeah, fuck the TSA.

I'm with you qm, such an extreme carving method deserves an equally extreme ignition method. I say inject it with gasoline, then light it with a blowtorch. >> ^quantumushroom:

Next you light it with a Taser....

I'd say this level of glock infatuation also qualifies as *geek.
