Biden is headed to NYC next Thursday to talk about how evil guns are and what he plans to do about them. I'm not sure if these are new plans, or if he's rehashing his old plans to make a big media production out of it, then let it all go on the backburner again.

Well we all know making a media storm of gun control will help keep Republicans away from the midterms.

Politicians these days don't seem to know what the term, "long game" means anymore. They're all in the "today game". If this knocks Biden's poll numbers up five points the week after next, he'll call it a win.

So do we get a NYC mass shooting hours before he gets there like the bridge? [tinfoil]

Probably. Of course being NYC like any other giant shithole it’s good odds it’ll happen naturally.

New term "Iron Pipeline"

Quote
Here’s the AP’s report of the administration’s latest effort at distraction . . .

The Biden administration is expanding a crackdown on untraceable guns and firearms trafficking along the East Coast “iron pipeline” and elsewhere as police departments across the nation fight surging gun violence that’s left a trail of bloodshed already this year.

President Joe Biden plans to announce the effort during a visit Thursday to New York City, where he’ll also showcase his plan to work with state and local law enforcement to get guns and repeat shooters off the streets. Biden also will stop at a school to meet with violence intervention leaders.

The visit comes as illegal guns flood the streets and gun violence claims scores of lives, including those of police officers. At the same time, Biden, a Democrat, is trying to dispel criticism from the right that he hasn’t been tough enough on crime.

I am sure none of that would have anything to do with  complete lack of enforcement of any crimes short of murder.

 ghost guns are what i heard on my morning commute, i guess them ghost guns are scarier - what the heck do they intend to do, out law cnc machines and metal? LOL.
I think this is just virtue signalling and hyperbole and no actual meaningful thing will happen

Saw an article, can't find right now, that stated that to make the claim that we now have a "ghost" gun crime epidemic they're now counting guns with scratched off serial numbers as "ghost" guns.

Don't know about 40s but several companies make 50 round drum mags for Glocks

What he said

~95% of all Sub 2Ks I've seen in the wild took Glock mags.
Which mags "your friend's" take should be indicated  on the side.

I have a few stick mags but a drum may be fun.

This a decent deal?  https://www.righttobear.com/50rds-drum-black-fits-glock-9mm/

I tried one of those.  Okay as a range toy, but not reliable enough for me.  Three, sometimes four stoppages before the mag is empty.

I wouldn't trust a non-OEM drum magazine.  I have a 30-something round stick magazine for my BHP and it seems reliable enough but it's clumsy.  (rather, I'm clumsy with it)  I like 20-round mags a lot better.  They do stick out the bottom of the grip an inch or so.

Very few drum mags I would half way trust with the Suomi drums and the Russian copies used on the PPsH  (the drum was copied) and the newer Magpuls being exceptions somewhat. There a reason militaries dropped drum mags when they could.
Look at the Magpul drum although it's going to be ~2x what you linked to, their AR drum has gotten good reviews

In reality, not really sure I’m interested in a drum mag for my Sub 2K. I have plenty of stick mags for that. 

I only have 1 drum and that’s for an AK.  Works great but sits in a box as I’ve only taken it out a couple times to ops check.
