Bully

No, They weren't. They were stolen. He murdered his mother and stole HER legally purchased firearms. That makes the firearms used in this illegally obtained. He tried to buy guns legally but was turned away/got impatient/didn't want to deal with the background checks. The system worked. So, he murdered HIS OWN MOTHER and STOLE HER GUNS. C

Kinda hard to hold someone accountable when they've been shot in the face, don't you think? I'm all for looking at mental health reform since if less "mentally disturbed" people have access to firearms less tragedies will happen. That means the "anti's" will leave us/me alone. However, since this kid did nothing wrong (that's being reported) no amount of checking would have helped. I have my own feelings and thoughts on why there was no record of his mental health standing but I don't think it would be too intrusive for the state to question why someone was sent to a charter school or prescribed certaiin medications. But then you get into Dr./patient confidentiality. Also, we don't know the storage situation in that house(or is it just not being reported?). Did he threaten her for the numbers before he killed his own mother? Did he know where the auxilliary key was kept? Tough to tell. And remember, the check system worked. Instead he chose to murder and steal before he murdered some more. I don't think any law will ever prevent tragedies on this level. C

As much as I think Bill O'Reilly is a tool, they did ask the NRA for a spokesman to be on their show last nite and it was declined. I think they don't want to be portrayed as "heartless" gun nuts, but the duck and cover philosophy just can't work. C

My local PD told me that Trenton was down for a week, last week. so things are pretty backed up. I would imagine that a LOT of requests are being processed and the system is overloaded. I'm not quite ready to put on my "tin foil chapeau" yet, but I am learning how to fold one correctly. C

He's a fan. Crazy. But he is. He's also making news by going against the media establishment. C

Anyone got pics of the 9mm Carbine? C

Why not give Nick at Mastodon a shout. He has a small mill in house. C

Thank you sir. C

Thanks Brother. Much appreciated. C

Why must they always wear black? Why so many tattoos? Why do they always look so... angry? Aren't they dangerous? Why would you want to own one, isn't a car more practical? How much do they cost? Will you go with me when I look at a used one? How much less gas do they use than a car? How much to insure? Does it really stay up by itself? Can I get a ride? How do I learn to "stunt"? Will chicks like me more if I have one? Do chicks like you more because you have one? What did your mom say? Can I meet her? (oops.) How fast do they go? Can you stop quickly? Can you stop at all? Why use the brakes, they just slow you down, right? Why do you need to use your feet? Where do I get a cool paint job? Will you buy me one? Let me know if you need any more. C

Hey Dan. No worries. I'm glad someone out there actually knows what the hell they're talking about. I never post anything thinking that someone, somewhere isn't watching. No tin foil for me, to me it's just a reality. I mean we post on here KNOWING that it will be read by our intended audience. Not a stretch to believe that the g'ubment has an eye on this and many other sites. Thanks for taking it as lightheartedly as it was meant. C

I wonder how his groups were? C

I would DEFINITELY make the phone call. Email... well. Hmmmmmmmmm. Might not want to count on that. C

Popular, and Ruger has had some issues keeping up with demand. Try getting a Ruger 1911! Give Bullet Hole a call. They had one a couple of months ago. C

Let's hear 'em. My friend has one but I didn't want the same color. I have the reloading supplies for the caliber, but no gun to shoot it thru (this one stings a bit). I have the same model, but I need another for parts/in case I wear it out. This one's cheaper to shoot than the other one. I sold one, so I need to replace it. C

Reading that honestly gave me a small headache. Where in God's name does one learn to interperet what you just said!?!!? On a keyboard, I'm functionally illiterate. Might wind up being a good thing. C

Damjan... There is something about the relative simplicity of that Remy that makes it so sweet. Nice choice. C

Thanks all for the insight. No offense, but let's get back on topic... Who likes 1911's!?!?! C

Yup. Good on them. C

Yup, but I bet it would run like a top! C

Awesome stuff!! Love the "Glock" 1911! Hoping for more pics. C

Interesting thread. Thanks for the responses so far. As for the issues raised: -Gun will be a range toy. I have something else that sleeps comfortably in the nightstand. All set there. -Guns aren't an investment for me, they're an expense. I don't have enough loot to play that game, so I don't. I also never buy with the thought of reselling. -I reload and already have about 500 .45LPP cases waiting for me. I also have dies. -If someone wants to "tag along" they are more than welcome. It'll take me a minute if I decide to build so patience is necessary. -I don't have all the tools, but I do have access if I need something. Even a mill. I do have the Kuhnhausen books, tho! As of this writing, we're in a dead heat at 50/50. I'm curious to see if this will die or it'll pull one way or another. I'm still firmly on the fence. I have time. C

I had to send a revolver back to Taurus recently. Bullethole, where I got the gun from, handled the RA and sending it back. It was gone for a little too long. I called Bullethole and they said they hadn't received it. So, I called Taurus. Their CS was awesome. VERY professional and willing to do whatever it took to get me the correct answer. I was quite impressed. C

I reload.
