Sorry, I meant the mass shooting type violence.

There has always been a huge amount of guns in the United States. Yes gun ownership is up in the past few decades, but there are not 2 or 3 times the amount of guns in the public hands now than there were in the 20's and 30's. And yet the violence has only gotten worse in the past decades. Don't...

The AP rounds, explosives, automatic weapons, assault rifles and fragmentation devices have been illegal for almost 100 years under the National Firearms Act. And you want to ban the 1911 that my great grandfather was issued in WW1? No thanks. The physical properties of a handgun...

I think now is the perfect time to create the "we are not retarded" political party. I would like to join.

I'm going to assume that the majority of current NRA members do not agree with current direction of the organization. Many of us are lifetime members from 20-30 years ago when they were more interested in shooting sports than the political machine. And many firearms owners will support them...

The video game argument comes from some progressives as well. It is still retarded though.

If someone told me, give up your guns and there will be no more gun related deaths I would do it in a heartbeat. But we all know that isn't going to happen. Firearms are a significant part of my life. They are a significant part of many people's lives. If I thought that banning magazines...

I think part of the problem is non gun people overestimate what a fully automatic rifle is capable of. There are almost zero situations where an M4/M16 is more effective than its semi auto counterpart. Automatic fire is inaccurate and it expends ammo quickly. Ammo is heavy and bulky. Only when...

Giving up liberties and rights for any legislation that is "not a solution and not intended to be a solution" is not acceptable. I am having a very hard time understanding how people think that is ok. I really do not understand. Is it an age thing? Cultural? Regional? I'm in my mid 30's, and...

As someone who has spent days tuning competition magazines for 2011's and Glocks, this is simply not feasible. Never mind, just watched the video. THAT'S A FUCKING AIRSOFT GUN.

Ive had a pair of Smith Tenet's with the polarchromic glass lenses for about a year now, best lenses i have ever tried. Have had Costa's and Maui Jims before, these are better.

This goes to Tuco too, im not going to multiquote a ton of crap like Mik. I was kinda cheating by using the Enfield in my example, but in no way am i overstating its capabilities. It was designed from the ground up to increase the firepower of a single soldier. The bolt is designed to cycle...

I like you. As a hardcore firearms enthusiast i would accept regulation like this. I do not personally agree with every point, but i can not argue that it would not effectively lower gun violence. Which is what we all want. Right? It just seems like so many of the anti gun folks dont give...

If you knew anything about firearms at all you would know that the only thing these statistics indicate is that these peple were prepared. They had multiple magazines/stripper clips/speed loaders ready to go. It takes a significant amount of time to load 500 rounds into magazines and store them...

I keep hearing arguments like this and it makes me sad. I have read your posts, you are not an idiot and i think you understand how our media/society works. We will ignore the real problem because its hard, and no one wants to stand up in front of a camera and blame PEOPLE. We have created a...

It absolutely is our society that is the problem. Most of the mass shootings are done by well off, educated kids from the 'burbs that had thier parents tell them they were perfect angels and special snowflakes all of thier lives. Then they get to high school and realize that they arent...

I'm going to quit smoking. Again.

Gun violence is down the past 20 years despite an increase in sales. And I've heard the video game argument from both sides.

Jesus Christ I hate how PC people are now. A large part of our gun violence is caused by black men in urban and inner city ghettos. I'm sorry, it is just the truth. Call me racist if it makes you feel better. This is why nothing ever gets fixed and we pussyfoot around the real problems. Why...

Thank you! I appreciate how that was worded. And you are absolutely right about the NRA and the Tea Party. A large portion of the firearms community has turned away from the NRA in the past 10 years. Their rhetoric does us no good. We are hopeful that they are delaying any puplic response in...

This is a really good radio show, thanks for posting it. These are the kind of anti gun folks i dont mind, this guy has actually taken the time and effort to learn about firearms and past gun laws. Edit: This senator is dumb. The prepper crowd is a bit looney, but that is a VERY small part...

And someone gave me crap earlier for bringing this up. If you dont like guns, thats fine. I completely understand. Especially people in urban areas and outside of the US that havent grown up around them. Just dont go off on some crusade trying to ban them and hold some sort of moral high...

The reality is, it is every single point brought up in threads like this. We have a culture of violence/guns/no family structure/mental illness/media glorification/social dysfunction all heaped on top of each other creating a perfect storm of crap causing events like this to happen. I don't...

Alot of that had to do with certain patents expiring and more importantly, much better machining/manufacturing and metalurgy processes. With CAD design and CNC machines much smaller manufacturers are able to get into the game and have made some truly impressive improvements to the original AR...

I absolutely agree with this, most sane people will. The problem is we are not going to get to number 2, that ship sailed in 1776. I guarantee that none of the proposed legislation in the weeks/months to come is going to be retroactive. So now we have more laws limiting what we can do with no...

Damned right it is, that's the whole point. If the country wants 10rnd mag limits, so be it. I will deal with it. For anyone that takes the time to be proficient, the difference between a 30rnd mag and 3 10rnd mags is all of about 2 seconds. I will be the first to admit that we don't need...

The WBC is going to protest the wrong funeral at some point. They will end up finding some biker group that just doesnt care so much about the laws. That will be a great day.

Well, considering you linked a pic to one of the most innacurate, unrealiable, cheaply made POS semi auto's around i would feel pretty damn safe. You linked a Tec-9, it is a horrible semi auto manufactured in the 80's. Yes it looks scary, but it is worthless. See the problem here? People...

It is going to be an interesting week for sure. We are going to see both parties getting heavily involved in the issues. Gun control is one thing that is not a liberal/conservative issues. There are plenty of very progressive ppl that own plenty of guns, and there are heavily democratic areas...

And this is exactly what will happen. More ppl that have no clue making these laws.

5.56 aka Remington .223 is a rather anemic rifle round, as are nearly all handgun rounds. There is no "margin of error" advantage of 223 vs handgun round. Actually a 223 is about half the diameter of a 9mm, but travels about 2.5x as fast which creates a larger temporary wound cavity. Yes he...

That's what I said, there are still parts of the country you can do that. FAR AWAY from the metro areas. It doesn't really matter though, society sucks in general these days.

But guns are illegal in Chicago!!!

There are still parts of America where you can do this. Surprisingly it is far away from the metropolitan centers of the educated and civilized people. I wonder if this means anything. I still think it comes down to the families. And the pussification of society. But that just makes me sound...

There are very few gun owners on this board that are not willing to have a rational discussion. I shoot on a weekly basis with some of the most skilled ppl in the country and none of them have a problem with rational discussions. I would have zero problems with longer waiting periods and more...

I think all of this is a direct result of the breakdown of parenting. Everyone gets a participation trophy, everyone is a special snowflake and every parent is their kids best friend. Then something happens to these kids and they flip out and do shit like this because they can't handle it when...

I shoot with the department that was consulted for that video, it's actually pretty good.

As a rabid gun owner I fully agree with this

We have background checks and automatic weapons are illegal. What is a high cap magazine? 10? 20? 30? I can dump 3 10 round mags maybe 4-5 seconds slower than a 30 rounder. And the extremely high capacity magazines are notoriously unreliable

The proverbial cat is already out of the bag. Too many guns in the poulation, and too many ppl willing to die to keep them. Hypothetical situation: The "gubment" comes for our guns. I'm a gun nut, have multiple gun safes full. But it it came down to it, and the Gun Nazi's were at my door...
