    SCOTUS considering Bianchi v Frosh/Duncan v Bonta the turning point for AW/magazine ban?

    You are right. It is an idiotic circular argument. If people don't own it because it is banned, then it is not in common use, and so is okay to be banned. The government could have banned any new gun type- percussion caps, metallic ammunition whatever- as soon as it was invented, and that...

    SCOTUS considering Bianchi v Frosh/Duncan v Bonta the turning point for AW/magazine ban?

    There is no ban? So why will the feds throw me in prison for up to ten years if I make a machine gun? There something like 200,000 or less transferrable machine guns in the USA. There are over 330,000,000 Americans. There are not enough machine guns to go around for all Americans but a tiny...

    Best Ear Protection

    For anything above a .22 out of a rifle, you will need to get a suppressor. Then add plugs plus muffs. When shooting anything high powered, plugs and muffs alone are not sufficient to prevent all hearing damage. Plugs plus muffs only cut the decibels down around 35 or less. For firearms that...

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    OK, there you go. 3M says that wearing ear plugs under muffs only gives you an addition 5 decibels of protection: https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1527800O/earmuff-misconceptions.pdf It doesn't give you and extra 30. Only five. So if you wear a 30 ear muff with a NRR of 30, plus plugs...

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    If you want to avoid hearing damage with high powered rifles, there is only one thing to do: Use a suppressor plus muffs and plugs. Muffs and plugs alone will not prevent all the hearing damage. The 130 decibles or so that get through your muffs and plugs are still damaging your ears with...

    What if the ATF had to go through the legislative process?

    The NRA is afraid if congress were to legislatively ban bump stocks, they would ban a bunch of other things too, like light trigger pulls, etc. Who knows. That's why they wanted the BATFE to do it.

    Gun Buying Age 21??

    Read the studies that banning guns from young adults has no effect crime, why don't you? Gary Kleck studied the ban on buying a gun from a dealer for those under 21 this and found there was no effect; read his study here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1843526 In 1994...

    Robet Levy of Cato Institute believes 21 year old purchase age will withstand challenge

    Banning persons age 18-20 from buying guns is a violation of the Second Amendment. In earlier American history, young adults were always considered to have Second Amendment rights. The Militia Act of 1792 required all "free able-bodied white male citizens" between the ages of 18 and 45 to own...

    Question for Alabama Guys

    There is nothing illegal about carrying with a permit in a university. They will kick you out if they find out though. If they are a student, you will probably be expelled. University employees with a permit can leave a pistol in their car now due to state law- I don't know about visitors...

    Hearing loss? best ear plugs?

    I have hyperacusis and tinnitus caused by shooting a shotgun ONCE while wearing ear plugs. Hyperacusis is hell. My audiologist said the only way to prevent hearing damaging is to use a silencer plus plugs plus muffs. You don't want to undergo ear hell like me. I can never shoot again...
