    My Yamaha vx663 is starting to get a bit long in the tooth, that Denon looks nice. Does the Audessey room EQ multiple subs?

    I dont even get this... NRA getting funding from the gun industry? And this is screwing over and not supporting individual gun owners? Gun owners LIKE the gun industry. Yes, it is big business, but i have never seen another industry that is more involved with thier customer base. This is not a...

    Completely getting rid of guns would drastically lower gun violence. You aren't going to completely get rid of guns in the US. It really is as simple as that.

    Yeah just wait til some asshole does this again and the media gets ahold of it. The "horrific and devastating" .223 round carries less than 1/3 of the energy of most tradition deer/elk cartridges. The dreaded "sniper rifles" will be the next target.

    Buying a car?

    I would love to have a CTS-V Wagon, i got to drive one for a week last year and just fell in love. Completely destroying the Camaro/Mustang crowd at red lights with a child seat in the back and 4 large HP printers in the hatch never gets old. Never! 2013 Elantra or Sonata, I dont think anyone...

    Also, harsher penalties for crimes involving firearms. Punishing criminals and not innocent firearms owners would be a great start!

    Anyone want to know why NY came up with the 7 round limit? Khar, Kimber and Remington are based out of NY. Khar makes subcompacts, Kimber makes 1911's and Remington makes rifles, shotguns and 1911's. 1911's standard mag capacity is 7 rounds. neat huh...

    Using published load data with known powder and bullet weights, 15 minutes. To actually be able to develop loads, 40-60 hours or so. A solid work week. It's not difficult, but there are roughly 50 types of powder with very different burn rates. A fast burning powder with too heavy of a...

    I reload about 20k rounds a year, you do not want someone with very little expertise doing it. Good way to have no more gun or hands. It takes knowledge and specialized equipment.

    .223 is actually illegal to hunt deer with in many states because it is not sufficient enough to provide a clean kill.

    Gun control

    It is vague in the sense that there is so much overlap you cant make out exactly what weapons could actually be legal. Instead of saying "ban semi automatic firearms" , it specifically bans individual features of every single semi auto i can think of. And they know this. Now they can say, hey we...

    5-10 years ago, sure. 10-30 years ago, HELL YES. Recently, i dont think so. I think the past 2-3 years they may be coming in ahead of BWM/MB. Dont qoute me though, i will look it up tonight. New 2014 RS7 was announced today at Detroit. Its amazing, 560hp/515ftlb's of tq. 3.7 second 0-60 and...

    I honestly think that if Obama would have ran on a platform of increased gun control that he would not be president right now. What do you think?

    The arming teachers thing is just a knee jerk response to other knee jerk responses to completely ban types of weapons. While I personally am ok with it, I understand why other people are completely against it. I don't understand why it is so fucking rare these days that someone can respectfully...

    Never draw your gun unless you plan to use it. Simple as that. If he upholstered, they guy have fled or took a stab at him forcing him to shoot.

    This is exactly the point I am making. You have this perception that just by having a gun it turns everyone into your theoretical Johm McClain. Yes, you get people on these boards Monday morning QBing and being sensational about it. Yes these people are idiots. The overwhelming majority of...

    I want to explain something that I don't think a lot of people that don't have experience with firearms understand. I am going to make some generalizations, so please don't point out the outliers to what I say. We all know there are idiots everywhere. But thankfully they are a small minority...

    And this is the reality. I hate to say it, but shit happens. Bad shit happens. No matter how prepared and cautious you are, something bad may happen to you. The more regulations and controls we put in place does nothing but put a strain on everybody. Trying to prevent things like this that are...

    I train officers on a monthly basis. I know exactly what proficiencies they have and don't have. All I'm saying is the general publics assumption that officers are event proficient with their weapons is just wrong. I wish it wasnt the case, and so do they. Departments budgets don't allow for...

    Gun control

    Has been posted before. Law enforcement is required to qualify with sidearm twice a year, each qualification is 50 rounds. 100 rounds a year. Most CHL holders shoot 5 times that amount. I dont really care either way, but to say cops are more qualified that anyone else with a firearm is just not...

    Gun control

    We have gone over this before in this thread. Most cops are not any more competent with a firearm than a civilian. Their purpose is not to carry a gun, that is the extreme last resort and the vast majority of the are grossly undertrained with firearms.

    I think the decision should be left up to the individual school district. What works here in OK will not work in Chicago or LA. That's the problem with so many of these issues. One size fits all legislation will not work across the entire populace.

    I have absolutely no facts to back this up, but i went pheasant hunting in ND with a black man AND an asian man! We met some great people and were allowed to hunt all over the place just by knocking on doors and asking around. I dont think racists let blacks and asians on thier property with...

    So saying the majority of the gun related murders in Chicago were committed by black males makes me a racist? This is why our country can't accomplish anything anymore. Our society become so enamored with the need to be politically correct and not say or do anything negative about groups of...

    Uncle Ted is a hell of a guy. He is def a bit out there, and I'm sure comes off as batshit insane to a lot of folks on this board but he really does some fantastic things. Very passionate and gives massive amounts of time and money to some ppl that really deserve it.

    Yeah he's a looney. I hate that these people represent my position in the media. And I also hate the media for only giving guys like this the platform. Rarely do you see a rational pro gun individual invited to do these shows.
