They don't have to ban them, they just have to not let you monetize channels featuring firearms. That would screw over lots of the big names.

Here's the basics. The faster you are pushing a lighter bullet, usually the louder the bang compared to something heavier and slower. Powder affects this, but it generally trends that way. This increased noise is perceived by many as more recoil. The smaller the bullet diameter and the higher pitched it gets. High frequency is more painful earlier than low frequency. Hence take the 40 s&w vs the .357 sig, and most people will find the sig to be much more abusive to the ears and flinch inducing. For the same velocity, a heavier bullet will feel more pushy, and a lighter bullet will feel more snappy. The heavier bullet will also impart more torque to the gun as it goes down the barrel. It's very subjective. Even given the same energy at the muzzle, the two bullets will cause different disruptions in the sight picture and you may have a preference. If you load your own, lighter is cheaper and you can play a lot with powders to get what you want, light or heavy. From an ammo designing standpoint, you need less of a velocity bump with a lighter bullet to get more penetration as velocity counts more to the total energy than mass does. FOr commercial bulk FMJ ammo, the reality is that they are probably going sub-optimally slow in 40 with both weights, use slow burning powder to stay away from pressure thresholds, and will be far from the best experience you can get out of either. The delta between plinking 180 and quality self defense 180 is likely to be less than the difference between plinking 165 and quality SD 165. Chekc the published velocities of the bulk you are buying vs. the good stuff, it can vary. But usually the bulk 180 is closer to the feel of SD 180 for practice purposes.

Wow, can you say completely made up or out of date statistics? Like I said in another thread, for the low but reputable numbers, it's 32% individual ownership and 48% household ownership and that is 2010 data IIRC. Gallup from 2011 has it at 47% individual ownership and 55% household ownership. Maybe they have some magic stat about households with a gun AND with children, but I doubt it. Also one of the top 3 causes of death for a child? Well lets see deaths for 2011 are preliminary in cdc stats, but the bands are <1yr, 1-4, 5-14, and 15-24. the two biggest segments are <1yr which is 23,910 deaths, and 15-24 which is 29,624 (63147 is the total 0-24) That's WAY, WAY more than accidental gun deaths. accidental discharge of firearms is 856 for the entire population regardless of age. The ONLY way accidental firearms deaths get into #3 is that you count suicide as accidental death, and even then, the numbers really are small untill you include the 15-24 block. #1 for kids across the board are MV accidents. #2 is all other accidents combined (inlcuding firearms). For children under 15, suicide and accidental firearms deaths (even if you said all 856 were people under 15), would probably fall around position 5 for 0-4 and 4 for 0-14. The reality is that the 856 are distributed more widely than that. Then the advice. What is this piece of metal affixed to the gun? Are they talking about a trigger lock? then jsut say that. I know a lot about guns and odd products and have no idea what they are talking about if it isn't a trigger lock short of welding on the sucker until it is broken. Second, the magnet thing doesn't exist. S&W holds the patent and you can't go out and buy one. It worked like dookie, and they saw no point in opening themselves up to liability when it fails. So basically safe storage, and educate your kids. No duh.

I've only dealt with pet licensing in one town. They required it, and lots of people weren't doing it. So they simply sent at least one truck around the town that did nothing but look for dogs at an address, check against the number of dog licenses for that address that were paid up, and fined the homeowner the difference. If your dog managed to get loose, having their tags got the dog more time before being put down, and you'd actually get phone calls to come get the dog and pay the fine for having him picked up by the dog catcher. They were moving into trying this with cats when we left.

Hey I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say it is because we are simply not trying to believe the imaginary. Justifiable need is arbitrary. Gura is being polite. But when you can take the same guy with the same situation, the same evidence, and two different judges come up with two different decisions, you ahve a problem with your standard or with a judge. When you can sit down with the definition, find many, many situations that seem to meet it having a working knowledge of the language and a dictionary available, and you find the answer is always no, then the issue is that the practice is in opposition to the law, or the law is broken and allows for this activity. The state's brief is full of the same make believe stuff. You can tell a good convincing lie, but you have to have something to work with. No, there is no record that anyone ever considered the existence of an actual hazard or tried to measure an improvement. But common sense says it was necessary and it must have worked. They say NJ's permitting standard is objective. In face of evidence to the contrary. IT basically boils down to well DUUUHHHH, of course I'm right, and since we threaten to disqualify you form firearms ownership to prevent you form even asking, we have a 94% approval rating for applicants.

Actually more than 22% of households have a gun. Even by less than friendly stats, individual ownership is about 32%, and household ownership is nearing 50%. There are a lot of gun owners not on the roles of the NRA. Dude, MLS is about to eclipse the NBA in popularity. THat isn't saying much.

Short of him mentioning it on face book or the like. HE could have sold it here and the other person somehow found the thread. ALso could have sold it to a mutual acquaintance.

To run with vlad's point, you can get plenty of ar triggers that drop in as parts in the 3-4.5lb range. Everything that is drop in and under 3lbs is to the best of my knowledge a trigger module. Anything that is a bag of parts that can do it use set screws. You can expect similar performance from 1911 trigger kits that are done well. The cylinder & slide kits are good. Most of them are 3lbs and above. As you get down to 2.5lb and below, you wind up with very little left in the way of hammer and sear engagement. BEcause of this, IMO they should be done for the gun and NEVER swapped with another frame. Use your own judgment on the above, but one thing you absolutely need to know is how to safety function check your 1911. You can avoid a lot of problems ahead of time by doing that.

I'll give you what I did when my wife was pregnant and right after my kid was born. My kids lead levels checked out fine. The big issue is keeping the residue away form mom before birth, and keeping it away form the baby and most importantly anything they crawl on or might shove in their mouth. 1) I stopped shooting indoors. You WILL be bringing back a LOT more contaminants from an indoor range rather than an outdoor range. If you really must shoot indoors, do NOT touch any acoustic tiling or anything that can hold the unburnt powder and dust. Wear a hat at all times in the range. 2) Have a dedicated shooting outfit, especially shoes. Leave the shoes out of the house, launder the outfit immediately, get yourself showered, and after the laundry is done, run the washer for an extra rinse cycle. I'm lucky in that I can come inside, hit the basement with the laundry, and then right upstairs to the shower. You do NOT want to be laundering your shooting outfit with clothing you will be handling your kid with, bedding, etc. 3) D-lead soap. Keep it right at the utility sink next to the washer. After putting the clothes in, wash hands and upper arms with the d-lead. 4) d-lead wipes or hygenall field wipes post shooting before getting in the car. (if your indoor range has a bathroom and dlead soap I wouldn't worry about this, but I was shooting outdoors) 5) I reload, so I switched over to bullets with an enclosed base rather than an exposed lead base. There's also some common sense stuff that you should be doing anyway. Like if you reload and tumble your brass, absolutely do NOT do so near your laundry or any where near an air intake for central HVAC. Same goes for lead smelting if you cast your own.

This method has been stickied on ar15.com for quite a while now. It's not a secret.

I would argue that since you still see WWII take homes that weren't registered pre-86 still show up being randomly dumped with no idea who had them, that don't ask and don't tell can work for quite some time. You roll the dice, you take your chances though.

Moving one no shoot would have also fixed it.

I can't vouch for this place, just passing it along. I do know of at least one person who scored a jard billet lower and said it was very nice. http://www.selectarms.com/p-47134-jard-ar-15-stripped-billet-lower-receiver.aspx

Topic covers it. Got my order in and figured I'd share. Only about a $20-25 premium over pre panic prices.

It's an AUG, and no it isn't. IT is centered over the barrel.

Long crowned barrel with a clamp on bloop tube will get you the quietest you can get. Well without having something custom made and dealing with the issue of what makes something a sound suppressor.

When I was in woodbridge, the average time was around 60 days. I'd expect it to be similar despite moving to morpho because it hasn't been much harder to get a morhpo appointment than it has been to actually catch the guys who did fingerprinting when they were supposed to be in.

It's simpler than that. THe terrorist list is basically a name, if you are lucky it's first last and middle. Ask them if they'd be cool with getting a tax audit every time anyone with their same first and last name IN THE WORLD got flagged by any tax authority in the world for anything? How would they like to get points on their license any time someone with the same name, anywhere in the world, got a moving violation? This is the same thing.

It's not the communists. It's the other guy who likes shooting. I'm not religious. I can say that hearing people say it is god given right doesn't bother me much. However being lumped into the same group with the the folks who start lecturing the group of people who are ostensibly there to listen about how none of this would be a problem if you just believed in the right god the right way bothers the heck out of me. It is essentially telling people that the problem is that you aren't exactly like me, and you made this mess. The reality is that as people, nobody at any of these things is out there gunning down people. THis state has a lot of blacks, asians, indians, hispanics, immigrants, and white people. IT also has a lot of hindus, sikhs, muslims, atheists, catholics, methodists, lutherins, mormons, unitarians, etc. Anything thing that says outright that those group of people should go screw off is NOT good for us as a group of gun owners. Stop[ opening up the conversaiton with the equivalent of you're an a-hole. BTW. I have to explain basically this same thing to atheists on a regular basis. Seriously, if you believe we will all be judged before god in the end, you might want to stop speaking on his behalf and being a prick while doing so. He might not view it well.

Yes, there is metallic 3d printing. The machines are VERY expensive as is the metal powder you feed it. A cnc machine you can stick in a billet of the right stuff and pop out something as odd as say a rifled pistol barrel runs about $125k.

Last shortage, $390-490 was where case prices bounced around from the non-gougers. When stuff was at those prices, the gougy price was around $799-$1000.

This is the stupidest thing I have heard today, and that's after I did my daily scan of the alternet ultra lefty news feed to keep tabs on what the current lefty memes are. The only way we will succeed is to gather as many of the marginally interested and fence sitters on our side as possible. If we used your logic, you just turn out the light and go home because if you aren't there speaking up at the first moment, you never will. I've made it to a number of these things. I will not be able to make it to all. If there's someone else who can't take real time off from work, but can swing by a counter protest between job quotes or something that's great and should be encouraged, not ridiculed because the dude found out about the mess we are in a couple weeks late.

You don't have to put the etc. after S&W and ruger. Unless something changed, they are the only ones that are publicly traded. The answer is simple enough. Don't buy their stuff and their stock will plummet. They'll either go away, or they (or a buyer) will buy back stock and stop being public. The real big problem for them is being charged with conspiring against the government if they go in with other companies.

You won't even need to organize a group buy. The only reason you don't see bulk deals now is the ffls can't make it worth while to attract customers. They have done it before during shortages because getting it moved out the door was fast and easy.

Based on previous go rounds, yes it will.
