Anyone know what a "Hellfire Switch" is? That idiot Diane Feinstein, yes, author of the Federal AWB was on Fox News Sunday saying Americans don't need these " powerful military style weapons" with 100 round "clips" that they can put "hellfire switches" on and fire them so fast. what an f'ing retard.

Here is an excerpt from the article: http://www.gundigest.com/gun-blogs/books/handloads-not-a-good-idea-for-concealed-carry?et_mid=568316&rid=233328260 As an expert witness in shooting cases over the past few decades, Massad Ayoob has drawn a few conclusions about what works and what doesn’t. In this excerpt from his recent book, Combat Shooting with Massad Ayoob, he explains why he avoids the use of handloads for defensive purposes. Anti-gun types have attacked our ammo as well as our firearms since long before I came on the scene. It happens in the press, it happens in State Houses, and yes, it also happens in the courts. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, he established malice when he loaded his gun with hollow-nose dum-dum bullets, designed to rend and tear brutal wounds and cause horrible pain and suffering and ensure the agonizing death of his victim!” It happens more routinely than you’d think in armed citizen shooting trials, though rarely in police shooting cases since hollow points became the law enforcement standard. This argument is, no pun intended, easy to shoot down…if your lawyer knows how. We simply establish that you chose the same type of ammo as the police, for the same reasons. With hollow points, the bullets are less likely to over-penetrate the body of the dangerous felon and strike down unseen innocent bystanders, and also less likely to ricochet and create unintended additional victims. Moreover, since collective experience shows us the improved stopping effect of the HP (hollow point) ammo means the bad guy will have to be shot fewer times to neutralize his violent activity, he is relatively less likely to die of his wounds. However, the argument in favor of hollow point ammo is useless if not effectively presented by the defense. Famed appellate lawyer Lisa Steele has seen defendants convicted with this argument when their trial lawyers failed to neutralize the poison. So have I. This apparently happened in the Arizona case mentioned above, contributing to what I for one believe was a wrongful conviction. While it’s a slam-dunk to defend your use of hollow point ammo, the use of handloads in a shooting presents much more serious problems to your defense team. Defensive shootings are often very close-range affairs in which gunshot residue (GSR) from your muzzle is deposited on your attacker’s body or clothing. This can become a critical evidentiary factor if the other side insists he was too far away from you to endanger you at the moment he was shot. The distance testing is done with exemplar ammunition, that is, ammo identical to what was in your gun, but not the same exact cartridges. Don’t count on the crime lab testing the remaining rounds from your weapon as taken into evidence at the shooting scene. If the fight was sufficiently intense, there may not be any rounds left in the gun that saved your life. Even if there are remaining cartridges in evidence, they may not be tested. The prosecutor can argue, “Your honor, firing those cartridges consumes them! It’s destructive testing! The defense is asking the Court’s permission to destroy the evidence! You cannot allow it!” Do you think that’s a BS argument? So did I…until I saw a judge accept it, in a case where handloads were used in the death weapon, but the state crime lab tested with a much more powerful factory load, based on the headstamp on the reloaded casings. That gave a false indication of distance involved, and the defendant – whom I have strong reason to believe was innocent – was convicted of manslaughter. You’d think the court would take the reloader’s records into account and allow testing based on that. It doesn’t happen. No one has yet been able to offer a case where the Court took the reloader’s data or word for what was in the load. It’s seen as self-serving “evidence” that can’t be independently verified. Sort of like a rape suspect saying, “I couldn’t have done it, because it says right here in my own diary that I was somewhere else that day.” After seeing these things in court, I learned to avoid the use of handloads for defensive purposes.

One commentator last night said that if this did pass, it would apply against us until the Senate voted it down. If that is true, do you think the P.O.S Harry Reid would bring it to a vote? He'd probably just let it sit like all the other bills he doesn't want to make the Dems vote on. It was also reported that if passed, a treaty has the same affect as a Constitutional Amendment and that the 2nd Amendment would be gone, at least until the Senate voted to reject it. As far as the UN goes, they need to have a controlled demolition on the building putting it into the East River, then kick every last one of those a**holes out of this country.

She had 14 wounded veterans on. All double, triple or quadruple amputees. Her report said most of them have gone through 100 more surgeries for their wounds. I'm sure most of you have heard of actor Gary Sinise from Forrest Gump and CSI NY. He is big into supporting our troops and wounded warriors. He has teamed up with the 911 families, The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to build smart homes for disabled vets. A worthy cause fro anyone interested in supporting it: "Building for Americas Bravest" http://www.tunneltotowersrun.org/

The dishonest politicians and law enforcement chiefs will say "straw purchases", but we all know that is BS.

Oy!!

It's a shame. Back in the mid to late '90s, I flew that back and forth to Australia when I worked overseas and they were a good airline. Things have changed a lot in the industry.

Saturday or Sunday? You said you are going to O.B Sunday, but asked if I will be at the range Sat. Did you mean Sun? I do expect to go Sunday morning and should be there into the early afternoon. Sorry, I just looked and saw that your wife would pay full annual dues and a partial capital cost, didn't realize that. The #2 statement just means you are allowed to bring up to 2 guests with you, but only twice in a year. I'll send you a pm on Sat after my plans are set for Sun and we can see about meeting up.

United/Continental does.

If it is you and you're wife joining, it shouldn't be that much. I'd have to look, but I believe that your wife can join at a reduced rate, plus, you can join and bring her unlimited number of times, she just wouldn't be able to come without you. The $400 capital contribution is a hurdle, but if you know you aren't going anywhere anytime soon, it is worth it. There are quite a few CJ members here on the boards. It should be possible to work out being guested in to check out the facilities. Many of us go on most weekends, let us know when you are available. I expect to go this weekend, but don't have final plans yet.

Not true at all. I was involved with and eventually lost my job trying to get the union into a sh*tty printing shop back in the '80s. Eventually got help getting into the Carpenters and Joiners union in NYC. I have seen good and bad, ie: corrupt union behavior. Yes, there was a time when unions were needed. Today, not so much, but in some cases, yes. Unfortunately some unions have gone from getting good wages and working conditions for their members, to making it almost impossible for companies to operate with union costs. The airlines a number of years ago got to the point where they couldn't afford the $300K salaries of senior captains and had to negotiate a two tiered system with lower pay for new hire pilots. We all want to make as much as we can, have the best benefits in the world, work as little as possible to have time with our families and to enjoy life, but companies still need to be able to compete and be profitable or they won't stay in business.
