In Case You Missed It: Top 10 Articles for 2019

Guns & Gadgets Daily readers have spoken…here are your favorite GGD articles for 2019!

The year and the decade are coming rapidly to a close. Before the Roaring ’20s get loud, we’d like to take a moment to thank you, our readers, for helping us get the word out about the guns we love, the gadgets that keep them interesting, and the freedoms of the Second Amendment. We’d also like to thank you for your hilarious, insightful commentary (even when we were the butt of your jokes)…you’re exactly the readers we were hoping to reach when we started this site! So now, just in case you missed it, we’re presenting the top 10 articles of 2019. In reverse order, we have:

1. Honor Defense Trolls San Francisco

Who knew that being a domestic terrorist would come with sweet discounts? Well, it didn’t until Honor Defense decided to de-pants the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Read about it here!

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Too bad they haven’t figured out how fire works.

2. The Dumbass Zone: 3 Things Antis Said This Week

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is…the Dumbass Zone. Featuring color commentary courtesy of a number of Presidential also-rans, this article is a tiny time capsule of anti-gun stupidity. Enjoy the dumbassery here.

3. How NOT to Use a Gun (Demonstrated by Criminals)

Ask anyone who’s spent any time in law enforcement: The vast majority of criminals didn’t become criminals so they could use their razor-sharp intelligence to neatly separate law-abiding folks from their money. Instead, most of them spend a lot of time proving, with their continued aboveground existence, that God really does watch over idiots and drunks. Think we’re exaggerating? Watch some of ’em trying to use guns here.

4. Does Walmart Hate the Second Amendment?

In 2019 we learned that Walmart was going to stop stocking handguns and certain kinds of ammunition, as well as changing their open carry policies. Was this purely a business decision, or was Wally World leadership trying to pull a Dick’s move? Does Walmart hate the Second Amendment as much as the customer pictured above hates supportive undergarments? Our thoughts are here…and your thoughts are in the comments. Enjoy!

5. Facing NRA Lawsuit, San Francisco Says “Uncle”

Who knew that “domestic terrorists” have lawyers and a copy of the Bill of Rights? It’s a sad day for America when it becomes necessary to employ a very expensive team of lawyers to explain to a government body (in this case, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors) that the first two Amendments to the Constitution actually forbid them from blacklisting anyone with ties to the NRA from doing business with the city. Did you miss all the fuss? Catch up here.

6. 10 Pro-Gun Memes to Make You a Social Media Superstar

Once upon a time, they used to say that a picture was worth a thousand words; these days, most online communication seems to be done through pictures…and maybe a few words, too. Memes are essentially the bumper stickers of the Internet era, encapsulating a complex subject in a little 768×420-pixel image with a bit of text sprinkled on top and on the bottom. But these li’l electronic bumper stickers are a lot of fun to share and trade…

7. 4 Anti-Gunner Comments I Can’t Stop Laughing At, Please Help

Every election season, the anti-gunners vie to see who can say the dumbest things about guns and gun rights–and every time, I fail to take the necessary precautions to safeguard my sides against the gales of uncontrollable laughter that ensue. The 2020 election season has been no different. Prepare your ribs, and click here.

8.SIG SAUER’s New P365 SAS Pistol: Front-Sight Free Concealed Carry (Yes!)

SIG SAUER’s P365 has been changing consumer expectations for what a concealed-carry-optimized handgun should be since its introduction in 2018; its newest iteration on the P365 line, the P365SAS, is set to revolutionize those expectations again. The concept of the SIG Anti Snag (SAS) treatment is relatively simple: Take everything on the handgun that could possibly snag or hang up on a holster or clothing, and smooth it off…click here to find out more.

9. 4 Reasons I Don’t Open Carry

Before you get the torches and pitchforks out, please rest assured that I understand why people open carry, and that I respect their right to do it. I even wrote an article defending open carry last year—you can read it here. As for me, however, I don’t open carry and would discourage a friend or loved one from doing so. Here’s why…

Looks like my college neighborhood is gentrifying!

10. 3 Guns to Get You Through Armageddon

Here’s a thought experiment. Whether it’s a zombie pandemic, the pouring out of God’s wrath a la Revelation, or my ex-wife’s Spanx developed a rip right as she bent over, but it’s happened–the world is coming to an end. In the Spanxpocalypse, you only get to pick out three guns to take with you as you head for the proverbial hills. What would you choose?
