Eh, more like No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: people are talking about them, some probly will buy their guns.

^^ I'm surprised there haven't been more events like that, with someone taking it upon themselves to take the law (or more frequently accurately what they think is the law) into their own hands, with the premise that merely being armed automatically makes a person a threat to society, as occasionally gets advanced as an argument by those who oppose private firearm ownership.

"Silly gun owners with hero fantasy! Just let the cops handle it!"
"Scary gun owners just want to take the law into their own hands!"
"Gun rights only benefit white people, of course gun control types like myself oppose them because we're Social Justice Allies!"
Man, three-in-one.
Hope tackler gets the book thrown at him.

Army Delays Effort to Replace M9 9mm Pistol
The U.S. Army announced it is delaying a competition to replace its current M9 9mm pistol with a new Modular Handgun System (MHS).
Army contracting officials released a Jan. 12 special notice on Fed Biz Opps.gov, announcing the delay of the final Request for Proposals for MHS.
...
The announcement follows a Military.com report about the December decision of the service’s Configuration Control Board to deny Beretta USA’s submission of a modernized version of the M9 pistol
, the M 9 A 3, as an alternative to MHS.
I strongly suspect this is so that Beretta USA and it's fanboys at the Pentagon can bitch and whine. Expect a protest too. The factory is in Maryland so I suspect that their Congresscritter got involved as well.

I tried to walk like an Egyptian and now I need to see a Cairo practor....There is now a Carl Gustav rocket that can be fired from confined spaces
. It's a PDF, might as well warn about that.
Apparently there is a tandem charge rocket for the CG as well. I wonder how well that would work against modern armour. Seems like good aiming/tactics would be a must anyway...
I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot
