I don't see how those two statements contradict. I didn't say all knowing, what I said was that the organization that ultimately has to OK your shiny new whatever will have record of who purchased it. As in, they keep a record of it. A record they can easily look up. Hardly all knowing to look...

The biggest attraction of doing it like that is based on the fact that at a minimum, you are looking at 6 months between time of purchase and actually receiving your firearm because of waiting on the ATF and a LEO. Now I'd be shocked if it is under a year with how busy ATF has been. This is...

I would love to find out how many participants in similar trusts have committed crimes, or whose guns have been used in crimes. Like I said earlier, these guys spend butt loads of cash on these things, they aren't going to break ANY law and risk losing them. edit: Not to mention by doing...

I don't really see a problem with this. I cringe every time I go to academy and watch some jackass at the gun counter waving a glock around. Don't know if we need to worry so much about the guys in the level 4 group...they spend a good chunk of change on those bad boys, pretty sure they won't...

Mom was a prepper and was apparently into stockpiling, so I think the 55gr is a safe bet. At the range though, the round used is pretty irrelevant.

I would think the idea of a hollow point is delivering that energy over a larger area as opposed to going straight through. Then again, I'm pretty sure you can make your point across with just about any ammo. Some are just more akin to typing in all caps then others.

Dat magpul. I think I have the same red dot too. In keeping with the theme...

Ive never felt a burning need to get something chambered in it since I got a .45 and a .44 magnum. I think I'll end up getting a .357 first.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_FBI_Miami_shootout It's what led to the development of the 10mm. Course, I feel that was politics at its finest (FBI didn't want to admit they'd had a better round available prior to the shooting, .45). Still, shot placement > caliber, especially with modern...

Making ammo really isn't that hard. Making good ammo takes practice.

Building your own gun really isnt THAT difficult. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbu...sunami-warning! Now, granted he did buy a parts kit for a lot of it, but he built what the government considers to be the actual "gun" himself. Shovel AK ftw!

I'm not disagreeing with you. I was more pointing out that someone getting leverage on a president should in theory be a non issue.

I can see your point, but I would think in such a scenario where his family was compromised, the 25th amendment (specifically clause 6) would kick in and we would have Acting President Biden. I think a valid argument could be made for a president whose family was under siege/capture is...

I agree with this. They can put a flag on someone w/o denying them a gun outright. If I recall, the way it works is the FBI has 3-4 days to make a decision before a gunshop will hand over anything. It's not a denial, just a hold. The catch to that however is that at the end of the 3-4...

Surprised at how much sense that made. We'll see what all the executive orders do. AWB is a pipe dream. It's what has already been discussed: reach for the moon and see where you get.

I'd feel bad using it on anything but maybe a hog, and even then higher grain bullets only with someone who knows how to aim.

To shoot off several twelve packs of shitty mountain dew at peak efficiency I need an ar-15 with a C-Mag (not the shitty Korean knock off, American made only kthxbye) and a bump fire stock.

And increased free speech regulations.

Had a similar issue. My uncle decided to live with his girlfriend and her psychotic daughter. He ended up dying from cancer, but several times the daughter pulled a knife on him. He kept trying to get her arrested/committed but nothing would come from it. Fast forward to last year, my uncle...

I think there is merit to what Gavin and Araysar are saying though. In the case of the theater shooting, why did he pick the one that was a gun free zone? It wasn't the closest, it wasn't the biggest...I believe, with some exception (crazy gonna crazy) that the idea that someone might resist is...

There are a few gems, but there are also a lot of crappy DPD officers. One point in their favor is that the PD seems to prefer sig 226'sBut that might just be Dallas being fickle with their spending.

Nothing wrong with beefing the CCW up a bit. I joked during my initial test that I felt like the test was designed so you COULDNT fail it. The guy who teaches at the range I go to now is kind've a nazi about it.He'll get in peoples faces if they're awful.

I believe Dallas PD just uses local ranges. I know the one I used to go to (Elm Fork) has a "tactical bay" that is kind've fenced off that cops use when they need it. When they aren't there its open to the general public.

That's a .22

Government can fix it!

Good speech. Probably the most rational thing I've heard about this whole shitty sequence of events.

That's nice in theory, but most parents don't give a shit. I did my time in the hell hole that was gamestop and I saw plenty of parents that would send their kid in with the credit card and throw a hissy when we made them come in the store. If they did come in the store, we got one of the...

I like the idea of certification before fire arm purchase, if for no other reason than you will learn basic firearm safety; going to most ranges today I cringe at some of the things I see people do. But a huge difference between the sick bastards that do this kind of stuff, and the gun nuts...

Less is more, less is more. I cringe when I see the mall ninja's with 15 lbs of crap on their rifle.

I know a few teachers from high school that carried guns in their cars. Some of them were former military, all of them were former alums that came back to teach. I never felt threatened by them. On the other hand, our dean of students was a goddamn cunt and on more than one occasion I'm...

Or if nothing else, draws the attention of the gunman. Not expecting every CHL holder to be able to fight off a sociopath, but it does change the situation.

The people who will be making these new laws.

I get this vibe as well. He touched on it a bit here and there during the election run up, but I think in his mind, he has bigger fish to fry, and honestly with how volatile things are right now, neither side has a lot of political clout to use, so they are going to apply it as carefully as...

The gist of it was basically that something needs to be done, and that the complexity of the situation should not bar us from action, and that he would be using his power over the next few weeks to determine what course of action to take. Also said we can't accept these events. Nothing wrong...

The thing about gun free zones is...they aren't. At least not on the college level. I know plenty of people that carry pistols at the school I went to, some with CHL's some without. The sign in the parking lot has never stopped them.

Maybe personal experience skews my view, but I'd just assume not even give most teachers a foam bat.

I completely agree, though that is not the only thing that needs some looking at. Personal responsibility is a beautiful thing. If you want to own something that powerful (I own lots of them!) then you need to be responsible for them.

The only capacity limit in the US is (if I remember correctly) with shotguns and thats only when hunting certain types of birds. Game warden catches you without that plug in your tube, you have to pay some fine or something. Not a bird hunter, didn't care to memorize that. High capacity...
