I always liked the .gif version:

Yep. And that's the route we should take to refute the point. What the police use sets a good example for what's good for the lawful defense of self and others. Police do not carry 15 or 30 round magazines for the purpose of mayhem as was inferred by Mr. Miller.

It's Bryan Miller. It's no different than what Feinstein or her ilk say. If anything, I think the absurdity of the statement is demonstrable and will make him look silly in the end.

M1 owner here. It's good to go. I really like it, especially as a lefty.

It didn't matter who the Democrat was in '08. Anyone who was the opposite of Bush was going to win.

Even though it's stickied,I'm not sure how many people have seen the NJGF Online Resource Compendium. If you ever find something good please let me know.

I think David Kopel makes the point very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6swSM_nqCnk#t=211

I wholeheartedly supported candidate Obama. President Obama not so much.

Assume I'd vote for all of them. What's your point?

I'm still very new to it and haven't had the chance to use it extensively. I was between the Troy and The Norgon, but I think the Troy is the better design on paper. I had heard reports that the Norgon requires a bit more force to actuate, which was a bummer for me. Some people have complained that the Troy can scuff the receiver, which I couldn't care less about. All I know is that it seems to work well and naturally. Mags fall free with ease and it does exactly what it advertises.

I use a 5.11 backpack in fire red. It's discreet and carries plenty.

Aljazeera America is often dismissed by name alone, but by all most reports is very similar to BBC style reporting, with more actual reporting than typical American media. The key word being reporting, not commentary. Fox News is right, MSNBC is left, and CNN is closer to the middle than either, but has a noticeable liberal bias. Besides, it's not about what bias the news has. A bias realized is a bias sterilized and if I can watch a program, then recognize and compensate for its bias, I can do a better job at being informed rather than being affirmed. I'll take CNN over Fox or MSNBC any day. I supplement all my media intake with primary sources I can locate on the internet. It gets the juices flowing for further research. I think there's a lot of superficial knowledge out there. Reading an article online or watching the news no longer means you're informed. I hate to break it to a lot of people, but reading an article on The Blaze or The Huffington Post doesn't make you an expert on healthcare, foreign policy, or whatever. There's way too many links to articles or opinion pieces and too little primary sources. My biggest pet peeve is this common trend of people rejecting traditional labels and inventing their own for themselves, pretending their poo doesn't stink. They'll something like:"I'm not a democrat/republican or liberal/conservative, I'm a libertarian/constitutional conservative". Okay. They're a special snowflake. Whatever. The worst, though, is that they will then simultaneously categorize everyone else and act as if they're somehow superior. If everyone were only a little more like them, the world would be better. It's absurd and ignorant.

Who do you vote for so I can stereotype you for it?

I've had an interest in a 1911 for the last year or so, but I'm not sure if I want to dump the money on the one I want quite yet (Dan Wesson Valor Stainless). I've looked at tiding myself over with a Glock 21 gen4 so I can get into the .45ACP game. Also looked at the SAR K2 for similar reasons. I'd consider a 5" Walther PPQ, but they don't make it with the paddle release and I like true ambi controls. Besides, I already have a PPQM1 and I don't really need or want a plastic, striker fired 9mm in the stable. I'm convinced the PPQ is the best firearm in that category, so why get another? Aside from that, nothing else really peaks my interest. I want to expand my realm of experience with every purchase, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'd like to eventually add a Tavor and an AK to the collection, but those are rifles and I don't want to get off topic. Oh! Forgot to mention the Sig MK25 FDE. Looks to be one of a few firearms in Sig's line-up that didn't get fucked over by Mr. Kimber-dude.

It's only .75oz lighter?

Technically it's a commonly used meme, so it's really anybody's.

What are the first 218 secrets!?

Thanks for the insight HE, you always have a solid answer and it's much appreciated. You too, Vlad. I guess my question is this: what kind of interface works well for you? The light I have now has a button on the back where I can depress for momentary, and click for on. I don't like it. I don't like how easy it is to accidentally turn on the light when I only wanted momentary and so forth.

Why's that?

The M600 throws out 500 lumens, too.

Yes. But it's also our responsibility to be good information consumers. This video explains it well: http://bigthink.com/videos/information-obesity-take-responsibility-fatty

Isn't modifying the buffer weight a much more sensible way to achieve the same result?

I guess that means you support the war in Iraq, hate gays, and love the patriot act.

Damnit. Well now I feel like a jackass. So I can get a Surefure Scout for about $300 and throw on the switch below. I feel like a complete idiot.

The only application I can see this being in any way useful is in super lightweight builds for sh*ts and giggles. Other than that, why does this need to exist?
