Shooting at Fort Hood (breaking)
Feinstein was making noise about banning imports the other day. Who wants to wager whether these weapons will be imported rifles?

NY gun group head won't attend Albany rally
I agree but that probably means a lot of people will need to change political parties to run and run as a sabateur.

Who can reverse engineer stock pin?
Yeah, the easyout won't get into the rollpin far enough to effect the fit on the buffer tube.\\ EDIT: I don't think he's pinned through the buffer tube - is he?
-
Who can reverse engineer stock pin?
There is no requirement that it be blind pinned.

Who can reverse engineer stock pin?
pick up an easyout tool. since the roll pin is in plastic, you won't bind it by expanding it so you can screw the easyout into the roll pin and pull it with pliers. Of course, you need to do this when you're in America. Removing that pin in PRNJ makes the gun very, very dangerous.

Accurate AR for Newbie
I've been hunting and shooting for almost 40 years. I own several firearms of all types including several rifles. I do not own an AR and am considering purchasing one. I'm a believer in function over form - I'm not interested in all the cosmetic features that make an AR look tacticool. I do like that they seem to be very reliable, compact, and there are unlimited parts available. What I am interested in is accuracy. I'd like my new AR to be at least 1/2 MOA and better would be nice. I'd also like ballistics that would allow consistant shots out to 400 yards. I'm not sure 5.56 reaches that far consistantly. So, if you were buying an AR and were primarily interested in accuracy to 400 yards, what would you buy. Oh, I'm also looking to spend no more then necessecary. If something that does all of this is available for $700, I'm happy to pay that and skip the one that's $2000 but looks way cooler.

Governor (no, not fois gras)
I did the math. With my judge shooting 3" buckshot, each of the 5 pellets has the same mass and same muzzle energy as a .380. Empty the Judge and it's like 25 .380 rounds. That's gotta hurt.

Governor (no, not fois gras)
I've got the judge with the 3" chamber. I love it. I think it's okay to own something that's just for fun. But, there are some people who believe you should only have sex if it's for procreation. Too each their own. You should try shooting clays with it sometime. You have to hand throw them almost straight up and shoot them comming down but it's a lot of fun - at least to those of us who can just have fun.

Plum Crazy lowers illegal?
Illegal because they can remove the serial number plate in one minute with only a hammer and a screwdriver. I can remove most serial numbers in only one minute with just a bastard file - poor logic.

NJ AG asks Supremes NOT to take on Drake
Real communists are good, kind people who want what's best for people. I think they're bat sh!7 crazy for thinking that communism actually helps people but they do. Real communists want everyone to make a living wage, they want everyone to have a job, they want everyone to share and care for each other. A real communist wants the world to be rainbows and unicorns. A real communist would believe that everyone has an equal right to own firearms to protect the collective. The other side is politician communists, who see communist promises of rainbows and unicorns as a way to increase their authority and gain more control over the people. Politicial communists don't want everyone treated fairly, they want everyone subservient.

A different kind of Cheaper than Dirt story
The company Cheaper than Dirt gets banged around here pretty bad. They have a reputation for bad customer service. I've never used them before so I didn't really know but when they had an unbelievable deal on some .410 shotgun shells last week, I placed an order. The package arrived today. It was supposed to be a 250 round case. I got 25 rounds. I called their customer service hotline and the woman I talked to told me that item number was for 25 rounds, not 250. Too bad, I have my email confirmation that says 250. A supervisor was going to call me. I asked when, she wasn't sure. Maybe tonight. I got the call 20 minutes later. The woman explained that they had marked the item incorrectly and the price I paid really was for 25 rounds, not the 250 I thought I was getting. And she refunded my purchase price plus shipping and said I could keep the box they did ship. I'm satisfied with their customer service. I might be the exception to the rule but I though it was fair to post the good and not only the bad.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
^^ This. Maybe not cats and goldfish but there may be something they know. Seems like a lot of the right leaning are switching their positions all over our government.

Any gun friendly areas in South Jersey?
Cumberland and Salem Counties are pretty gun friendly. Lots of hunters and farms in Western Cumberland and most of Salem.

S993: How to hold sweeney responsible
It worked inVirginia's Gubernatorial election. A wealthy Obama supporter funded the campaign of a libertarian candidate and was able to drain 6 or 7% of the vote away from the Republican candidate. As a result gun-grabbing McAulliffe won the election - just barely. Where do we find a viable Democratic candidate in district 3 that is pro 2A?

Baker v Kealoha, Hawai'i case at 9th circuit, win!
There is a constitutional There certainly is a constitutional 2nd amendment right outside the home. It's right there...in the constitution. It's not reasonable to believe that the founders believed we needed a militia that stayed inside their houses.

Baker v Kealoha, Hawai'i case at 9th circuit, win!
Like all law enforcement, the AG is supposed to enforce the law - starting with the constitution. But that didn't happen.
-
Richards v Prieto - California - Yolo County - Right to carry case, WIN!
I hope you're right but we have a slow, creeping tyranny. It's easy to miss. It also is always happening in some other state or some other city and doesn't really effect us so we let it continue.

Where has all the .380 gone?
rarely .22. I check gunbot every day for several different calibers. If there's a deal, I jump on it. I have gotten some .22 this way but not much. It's there but I'm not paying excessive prices. I don't need it that bad.

Where to buy 80% lower in bricks and mortar shop?
You're assuming that the courts will always require evidence. In the end game of democracies, courts rarely need evidence.

Where has all the .380 gone?
I've been buying .380 at Dicks for months. I stop every week and give them my list of ammo I'm looking for and usually, all they have is .380.

Taurus Judge Question
I've had my 3" judge for over a year. It's still a fun gun. Breaking clays with a handgun will probably never get old for me. But, I'm easily amused. I don't imagine I'll ever sell it - why would anyone sell a gun?
-
Where to buy 80% lower in bricks and mortar shop?
I'm really not that interested in owning an AR. But with the recent raid over 80% lowers in CA, and the recently revealed ATF letter that seems to indicate that just having the tools to complete one requires a license, I'm thinking I might want to get an 80% receiver and just stick it on the shelf incase I ever decide to try this. So, is there any bricks and mortar store that sells these where a guy could pay cash? If the AFT if looking for customer records, I'd rather not be on any records.

Russian Ammo Panic Has Begun
I watch gunbot.net every day for several different calibers. I order when there is a rare good deal on just about anything. I've been watching 7.62x54r for months. It typically floats around 19 - 21 cents a round. This morning, it's starting at 27 cents a round. It has been slowly moving for the last week. Fortunately, my order from last week will be arriving today. I am not an alarmist and I usually think strange things are temporary but I thought that about .22 so I'm not so sure now. http://gunbot.net/ammo/rifle/762x54 choose "sort by price".

NJ AG asks Supremes NOT to take on Drake
Since this case in under the SCOTUS "petitions not set for conference" list, does that mean it's not scheduled yet or that they won't even hear whether to hear the case. I personally don't think it will be heard. 1) The constitution is so absolutely clear that there is a guaranteed right to both keep AND to bear arms. Any court that says otherwise is intentionally lying. 2) The justices, like lots of other people might be fine with people having a gun at home but not out in public. There may be enough of them that feel this way that they would rather just not deal with that question.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
The local PD has 60 days to approve their part of the permit or it is automatically approved. It still has to go through the judge and he has no time limit. What do you bet, all applications will be in limbo until this case is over?
