I have had requests for the story about Willie the Actor Sutton (famous Bank robber) He was among the most wanted around 1955 in New York. When a man from Brooklyn named Arnold Shuster saw Willies picture in the local Post Office and then saw Willie on the streets, he called Police and fingered him for the Reward. I think Arnold lived in Boro Park in Brooklyn and the New York and New Jersey MOB reacted with panic that a citizen of Brooklyn would finger some one for money. They decided to teach the people of New York and New Jersey a lesson and they sent a hit man to see Arnold at his home in Brooklyn. When Arnold opened the front door of his house he was shot dead and then made a trip to the city morgue where he received a very nice toe tag for his efforts of being a sqeeeler. That is the condensed version of Willie Sutton and Arnold Shuster and the Mafia.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt

I mean no personal offense toward any particular person or company and in this commentary I will refrain from using too many names, but if the shoe fits wear it. I can read and comprehend faster than many of you can talk, I have no college degree but I wear glasses cause I can not see well, but not because I am not stupid. The fools that post on these forums or chat rooms belong in a pink rubber ducky room that is padded for their own protection. They continually give out false information because it gives them their 10 minutes of fame to be some body when they could not even find there way out of a revolving door.
If a person has attended a self defense course like thunder ranch, they think they are an expert and know it all and by their comments I know how very little they really know. How many autopsies have these schmucks attended ?? I will bet you they would not set foot in a morgue while in operation. You think your caliber and knowledge are going to save you in a social situation with a real bad dude that wants to die ?? NOT HARDLY. A good street fighter will often beat the hell out of a well trained person that actually knows how to fight UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS. There are no rules in a street fight and no referee...
Many "HOLLYWOOD" tough guys have been challenged to fight by real fighters and the hollywood legends always decline because a fight that is made for a movie is BS compared to the real deal out on the street. I lived the streets of Brooklyn for 18 years, I have seen things you would never believe. Getting back to a would be legend in their own mind about guns because he attended classes by an instructor in a self defense school, you tell me what makes him an expert on the safety system of an SW or Kimber firing pin block safety system. HE KNOWS NOTHING but BS. A safety system that works off the pressure of the grip safety can be adjusted by re arranging the geometry of the engagements, but how would the average know it all understand this. I have done it many times.
How many people do you know that have been killed by an exotic caliber, for example the 9x23. I am not saying its a bad caliber but its all BS because its BULLET PLACEMENT. When is the very last time you have been to your local morgue as a guest ?? When is the very last time you have been to lunch or dinner with a Pathologist or even spoken with one or even know one ??
SEECAMP VS. NAA GUARDIAN 32 caliber.
I have read so much BS about these mouse guns I have had it up to my eye balls. These people that comment have no clue what the hell they are talking about. Do you want to rely on a mouse gun for protection of life and property ?? Certainly not me.
I had a very nice conversation with Larry Seecamp many years ago and he was very pleasant. I paid $399.00 for one of his mouse guns a very long time ago at a gun show and I sold it many years ago for that exact amount. The Seecamp pistol is finished better on the outside than the Guardian but the internals are crude at best. Who wants a magazine safety on a gun like this, certainly not me. I was glad to sell mine. In later years I called Seecamp about a problem and all I got was an answering machine with no way to leave a message or a number, that is BS when you life depends on that tiny mouse gun, to me its a waste of money but more important you lose confidence in the manufacturer. His idea of no sights is a good idea... HOW CAN YOU RELY ON A MANUFACTURER WHEN THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT HIM OR HER OR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE.
How many experts out there have removed a broken firing pin from a 32 caliber Seecamp ?? I have and it was not easy because the firing pin retaining plate is staked in place. So don't tell me what you know compared to me, YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DISCUSS THESE MOUSE GUNS WITH ME. YOU ARE NOT IN MY LEAGUE OF EXPERTISE. Wait do not go away yet because after I get thru with Seecamp I will tell you about the BS with the Guardian, with the soft firing pin that mushrooms at the rear and is soft thru out..
I have been able to refine the Seecamp much easier than the Guardian. Have you ever tried to field strip a Seecamp ?? Its total BS as you best carry around your punch with you that has a rounded head and you will destroy the integrity of the take down hole in the slide in time. It has no ejector and it is a mickey mouse design, my Colt Mustang is a far better mouse gun in 380 acp caliber, but of course it is much larger. Look at the gouge in the chamber that is crudly cut because they must achieve a retarded blowback operation. Look at the shallow rifling, hell I remember when this 300 dollar Seecamp in 32 caliber was selling at the Houston gun shows for $900.00, thats right nine hundred dollars so you can call them and get an answering machine that says write us via US mail or something like that.
Larry Seecamp is a smart man as I have worked on his conversions for a Colt 1911 (in 1975 era) and a BHP that he converted for the late TOM FERGUSON OF GUN WORLD. I refined Toms action at least 15 or more years ago. Most of you do not even know Mr. Seecamp made these conversions. Were they rock solid ?? not in my opinion but they did work. Would I buy one ?? NO...... NOT THEN AND NOT NOW. I still think Larry Seecamp is a nice person but as a business man he should take business Course 101. I will let the rest of you spend your hard earned money for what ever you want, its none of my business, but to be fair I have never seen his new 380 pistol. I will stick with my HK P7 M8 any day of the week or any one of my Glock pistols.
SO NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE NAA GUARDIAN. I like their mini revolvers but I am trying to decide whether to sell my Guardian at this time. This mouse gun has no ejector and that is why the last case usually is not ejected, this is typical. The rifling is very shallow in both these mouse guns and you wonder why the bullets keyhole, I thought you people were smarter than that. The rifling is poor at best, actually in my opinion, worthless. THE NAME OF THE GAME IS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND THE MORE PORTAITS OF HIM IN THEIR POCKET THE MORE IMPORTANT THEY FEEL.
I have had a NAA mini revolver in my pocket for at least 10 to 12 yrs. I do not shoot this mouse revolver because its for one intended purpose for me, which is a last chance shot at 2 feet away. Its not accurate but I do not care, I will never shoot it again unless its survival. I LIKE THIS MINI REVOLVER. I love these fools that try and make this Guardian into a Rolls Royce. Comparison scenario is like taking a YUGO or a Rambler American and making it a LEXUS. There are people that charge about 65 dollars for a trigger job and there is no way a factory worker knows what I do about refining the internal action of any handgun. If an eight to ten dollar an hour employee spent as much time on the internals like I do he would not keep his job very long. When I see these people brag about the quality of an unknown beginner smith it infuriates me because its just stupidity on the owners part. DOES YOUR LIFE MEAN SO LITTLE TO YOU ???
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GO TO A LARGE PLATING OPERATION OR A NAMED SHOP AND HAVE AN UNKNOWN WANNABEEEE SMITH THAT WORKS ON COMMISSION DO A SUPERB TRIGGER JOB ON YOUR GUARDIAN OR ANY OTHER HANDGUN THEN YOU ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID.
This Guardian can be made much better if they wanted to by using a barrel with better rifling so the bullets would not key hole. It could be made with better springs such as Chrome Silicon wire and the trigger return spring would not break if they used this superior wire. There is no place for an "E" ring when snap rings are available. The Guardian should have good quality Micarta or G10 laminate grips as compared to the cheap plastic they now use. The Guardian should have a flat wire recoils single spring like the Glock that is made with premium chrome silicon wire. WHY DO THEY "NOT" DO THESE THINGS, SURELY YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE ITS ALL ABOUT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. It sure is about time they used a harder firing pin and if you take yours out you can see how the very rear end mushrooms. Its all about money.
I have not even begin to scratch the surface about the Guardian, which in basic concept I do like. Why did they out source the dissassembly latch to a cheap bidder I have no doubt, like maybe "TAURUS", Is that why the take down latch in the 380 model keeps breaking ?? WHY NOT GO WITH RUGER CASTINGS TO GET THE VERY BEST. What is the current problem with the frames of the 32 NAA Guardian ?? It may be a major problem because none seem to be available at this time. No one will tell you the truth. Not that I really care because I will no longer buy any mouse guns as I am pleased with my mini revolver, its not a shooter but an ace in the hole for me and nothing beyond that. I am in bed with no company and no one owns me but my G-D.
Lets talk about these gutter snipe sights that people are going crazy over. The dots are so small I can not even see them. Lets talk about installing trijicon night sights (dove tails must be cut) on this Guardian at a premium price when the genius at the factory installs a steel roll pin in the front sight in a "BLIND HOLE" which is on the barrel. Look for bang marks on your sights from a punch. You will never get it out, how will you change your sights especially when they are banged in or pushed in and bent, any time you bang in tritium sights you jepardize the vials of the gas and you destroy the intended shelf life of the sight. This kind of work is by an amateur...Do not take my word for it call Trijicon or Meprolight sights and ask for their recommended installation proceedure and see if it includes pins in blind holes and banging in their sights.
YOU CAN NOT FOOL ME, I KNOW ALL THE TRICKS OF GOOD AND POOR WORKMANSHIP. You want to stipple your front and back strap and border it with crooked file lines done by a wannabbeee smith and then have this fool bead blast the very texture he wanted to achieve and all you fools rave about this wonderful work. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, NONE OF YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DISCUSS QUALITY WITH ME AS I HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR MORE YEARS THAN MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN ALIVE.
I totally resent this BS of QUALITY work that you do not understand. My limited work on internal actions at this point in time is still second to none. When a company, regardless of which one lets their Sales Manager and or marketing people direct the design you have got big problems and every gun that is returned to the factory for warranty work is a loser and when they must be replaced how can a company stay in business, I am referring to any company. UPS AND FED EX SHIPPING RATES WILL EAT UP THEIR PROFITS AND NO COMPANY CAN STAY IN BUSINESS LIKE THIS FOR EVER. My father once told me when a big company goes bankrupt vs. a small company, the only difference is that the big companies takes more people with them and destroys more lives. Case in point "ENRON"
So do not tell me that your $65.00 trigger job is equal to my standard action job of double the price because you have no idea what you are talking about, you are just another sucker and there are plenty of them. In my past working life as a Trigger smith I do not think I even got a 1% return rate. Why don't you ask these company employees what their return rate is on poor quality and design and malfunctioning guns, an employee may tell you but I assure you the management will keep that quiet. I just love these people that have plenty of money to buy guns but they refuse to spend money for first class quality work.
THE CURRENT PRESIDENT AND CEO OF S&W IS FROM THE KOHLER PLUMBING COMPANY AND BLACK AND DECKER TOOL COMPANY. HES BEEN IN THE GUN BUSINESS ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO. THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF SIG USA IS FROM KIMBER. AND YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE GUN INDUSTRY, JUST ASK THEM ABOUT OUT SOURCING.
You can not logically make a Rolls Royce out of a mini mouse gun, you are defeating the purpose and you are BS'g yourself. All these guns can be improved from day one at the factory but they will not spend the money it takes. They buy the cheapest springs and they are presured by their marketing know it alls that know nothing. I am really pissed off about all the misinformation. ALL THESE FACTORY GUNS SHOULD BE THE VERY BEST THEY CAN BE, BEFORE THEY EVER LEAVE THE FACTORY, THAT INCLUDES ALL THE MANUFACTURERS. THEY SHOULD BE UPGRADING THEIR INFERIOR PARTS AND SPRING QUALITY AND THEY SHOULD CHARGE MORE...
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE WORTH ?
You want to price it as a $300.00 gun or what ever.
Most people look for bargains, they all want cheap prices but very high quality and its not all the factory's fault, you can blame the schmuck in the mirror. Many of you have created this situation by demanding more for your money. If a handgun sells new for $300.00 retail price and a wholesaler can sell it to a dealer for $250.00 and in a quantity volume price they get it even cheaper.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THE FACTORY IS SPENDING TO MAKE THIS $300.00 HANDGUN. OF COURSE IF ITS MADE OVER SEAS THE COST IS VERY CHEAP AND EVEN THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS MAY HAVE HAVE THEIR GUNS BEING MADE IN BRAZIL OR THE CZECH REPUBLIC OR INDIA OR KOREA OR PAKISTAN AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. THIS IS ALL TOP SECRET TO THESE FACTORIES HERE IN AMERICA AND NO ONE WILL EVER TELL YOU BUT A VERY ANGRY EMPLOYEE.
I WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED IF YOUR AMERICAN MADE HANDGUNS YOU CHERISH COME FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY. I AM THINKING OF THE FRAMES IN PARTICULAR. SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BUY YOUR FAVORITE "WINCHESTER" THE GUN THAT WON THE WEST WILL NOW BE MADE IN "CHINA"...
I personally am very willing to buy better parts and springs and what ever it takes to have a better handgun. I do not shoot much anymore like I used to but I do not mind spending more for the best product money can buy. I feel this way about every product I own especially my handguns and my knives.
I personally think its worth paying Marc at ISMI gunsprings extra money for his superior chrome silicon springs. But the gun manufacturers usually go with the cheapest spring money can buy because they are concerned they will be too high in their retail price and you will not buy their product. SO WHO'S TO BLAME.... We are in a pickle because there are so many cheap skates out there that are looking for a bargain and then they want to negotiate a price. WANT CHEAP.... OK.... YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET...
When people used to try and bargain with me I told them what they can do. "IT IS WHAT IT IS".... I could never be bought then or now. The american consumer helped create this mess and the Gun Magazines (editors and owners) did not help because they never met a gun advertiser that they did not fall in love with. And there are some very honest Gun Writers but the System will not let them tell you the truth, they seldom say no to a free gun, so when your gun goes click instead of bang, blame the schmuck in the mirror. YOU GOT YOUR BARGAIN, NOW ENJOY IT.
I sincerely miss all the old time gun writers that I was very good friends with and I hope I will see them on the other side some day.

U.S. finances China nukes
Taxpayers provide loans for Westinghouse deal
Top level
G2 Headlines

WASHINGTON – Here’s one that tops the Dubai Ports World deal – but, so far, no one is complaining. U.S. taxpayers are lending Westinghouse Electric Co. almost $5 billion to build nuclear power plants in China – even though the company, based in Pennsylvania, is about to be sold to Japan’s Toshiba Corp. and even though the company is currently owned by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd.
And, so far, no one in the U.S. government is showing any interest in scrutinizing the sale over the transfer of nuclear-power technology – or in halting the loan from the Export-Import Bank. The saga began just over a year ago when the board of director of the Export-Import Bank of the U.S., a federal agency whose board members are appointed by the president, approved a request from Westinghouse for a combination of guaranteed and direct loans of up to almost $5 billion to support export sales to construct four nuclear power plants at two sites in China.
The Ex-Im Bank, as it is known, boasts of assisting in financing U.S. goods and services to developing markets around the world. It typically finances around $15 billion in U.S. exports annually. While that deal got almost no notice at the time – despite China’s record of spreading nuclear technology throughout the world – last month the British parent company that owns Westinghouse agreed to sell it off to Toshiba, a Japanese conglomerate, for $5.4 billion in cash, a deal that is expected to close this year.
Undersecretary for Export Administration David McCormick said Wednesday he had no plans to review the bid on the basis of the nuclear-transfer issue. "The deal is not being formally reviewed," said McCormick, who heads the Commerce Department agency. "It's unclear if this deal required (U.S. government) review or not. Scrutiny would be justified if "there's a perceived or actual threat to national security," he said. Congress has not opposed the Westinghouse sale.
The only member to call for scrutiny, Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, recently dropped his concerns. In a letter to Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pennsylvania, whose district includes Monroeville, where Westinghouse is based, Hall called Japan "one of our finest allies." Meanwhile, Westinghouse, armed with the $5 billion in loans from U.S. taxpayers, may have a better shot at the $8 billion in nuclear contracts bid by China.
Its chief competitors for the project, the state-controlled French company Areva SA is considering dropping its bid because of concerns about nuclear-technology transfers to the Chinese. Areva SA has reportedly refused to match the offer from Westinghouse. Another puzzling aspect of the deal is the fact that China has run massive trade surpluses with the U.S. for many years. In fact, statistics from the U.S. Commerce Department demonstrate that China has built up over $1 trillion in surpluses with the U.S. since 1993.
In the last five years, here is the trend on China trade surpluses with the U.S.: • 2001 $83 Billion • 2002 $103 Billion • 2003 $124 Billion • 2004 $162 Billion • 2005 $201 Billion In U.S.-China trade, that's a total of $673 billion in trade surpluses for the Chinese (or trade deficits for America) in just the last five years. It’s not that the U.S. government is simply not questioning the deal to build nuclear reactors in China, it is actively financing it and using political influence at the highest levels to consummate the arrangement.
“The U.S. government has been very supportive of overall China-U.S. nuclear cooperation,'' says Gavin Liu, Westinghouse's representative in Beijing. “It's a very, very critical market for Westinghouse.'' China's nuclear-power market is growing faster than any other in the world. The four planned reactors are the first of more than 20 in a $54 billion push to quadruple Chinese nuclear-power capacity by 2020 -- an effort to ease power shortages in an economy that grew 9.5 percent last year. The U.S. officially lifted a ban on such nuclear technology exports in 1998.
“The U.S. government has supported helping the Chinese in their economic development, and part of that is producing energy,'' says Bruce Blakeman, special counsel to U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez at the U.S. embassy in Beijing. “It's something where American companies have a great deal of expertise and the best technology.'' Though Westinghouse is not a U.S. company, Blakeman contends a successful Chinese bid would add billions of dollars to U.S. exports and create thousands of U.S. jobs.
U.S. government officials have visited Beijing in the past year to back Westinghouse's bid, Blakeman told Bloomberg News. They included a group of congressmen led by Ohio Republican David Hobson, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, who visited last April.. Former Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, who left the position last year, lobbied for Westinghouse during a meeting with Zhang Huazhu, chairman of the state-run China Atomic Energy Authority, in Beijing in December.
Ironically, the U.S. government push to sell nuclear reactors to China comes as Bush opposes plans by the European Union to end a 16-year embargo on weapons sales to China. China plans to phase out international participation in its nuclear program in coming years, so the winning bidder will have to ensure that the designs and equipment it supplies can be reproduced locally.
