    22 lr

    Link to 9mm at 18 cents a round? I'd love to get some. I'm finding 9mm here at $20 for a box of 50, where I can get a box of 100 .22 for $7. That's why. Plus, I can shoot the .22 at 100 yards with a bolt action rifle and the ammo goes by a whole lot slower.

    Isnt it Ironic SAFE Act arrest

    Not sure if sarcasm. I think he should be punished strictly for that reason.

    Ohio National Guard Training Envisions Right-Wing Terrorism

    While I agree with you that the second amendment is law, I think it's a fantasy to say that they're going to uphold it. I don't see the National Guard stepping in to protect people from the ATF for having a sawn-off shotgun or machine gun. Further, there is a process for first challenging a...

    Ohio National Guard Training Envisions Right-Wing Terrorism

    Don't get me wrong, I fully support the second amendment and interpret it as meaning all the way up to machine guns and anti-personnel crew served weapons. I also acknowledge that its purpose includes protecting the American people from any army that would oppress them. However, when you are...

    Isnt it Ironic SAFE Act arrest

    Really? Because I went to a gym for jiu-jitsu where there were no shoes allowed past the entrance, and even walking in the door with shoes on felt incredibly awkward and I wanted to get them off as soon as possible because I wasn't supposed to have them there. I just don't see how he forgets...

    Ohio National Guard Training Envisions Right-Wing Terrorism

    Are we surprised? I'm going to give you two stereotypes: Right wing gun-rights supporter or left-wing gun confiscation supporter. Very few are so black and white, but those are the stereotypes given. Now tell me, which of those two groups spouts things like "Molon labe" and "You can...

    Not the expected .22 rant

    A gold piece worth $20 would weigh .016 ounces :D A silver dollar, on the other hand, is currently worth between $20-24 if that helps your thought experiment.

    G2 R.I.P. Ammo

    So here's an interesting concept that was shared with me on Facebook: A new bullet from a company called G2, called the Radically Invasive Projectile. It works much like a hollowpoint, basically a slug with 9 trocar points forming a solid circle. Supposedly the design of this 92 grain...

    Is it an option?

    Is it an option? Yes I feel your question and sample base is highly flawed for a research paper. Your question is phrased so to be misleading (anybody can say "well, I suppose it IS an option, if you want to be blown up.) Can it ever be done in my opinion? Yes. If the government is bad...

    The power of the Sheriff over Federal agents

    Seems to me that as the ATF holds as much power as they do with gun laws, you could still get a knock on your door in Montana for building machine guns, even if they made it legal under state law.

    The power of the Sheriff over Federal agents

    My feeling is it is largely symbolic, a warning to the federal government that they will fight it. Will it do anything? I don't know. Colorado and Washington don't have the authority to deregulate marijuana, but they did it -- oh, except you can still go to jail for it, still be fired from...

    Could walmart (et al) put a stop to this ammo shortage?

    I found some .22 CCI Mini Mags at my Walmart the other night around 9:00 or so. Paid $23 for 300 rounds after tax. They limited it to 3 boxes or else I would have snatched up another 2 or 3. We go through the stuff fast.

    One and just one. Pick your choice.

    9mm. I can shoot my 9mm one handed, right or left, in a less than ideal position. The same can't be said for .40 or .45 (for me personally). However, it's also strong enough to rely on for a variety of needs and I can also compete with it

    Why isn't there a demand for a short/low recoil/affordable .50 caliber pistol round?

    What about something like a .50AE necked down to a .45 bullet? Would be interesting to see, but I don't see it being a round for concealed carry.

    6.5 Grendel really catching on?

    I wish it would. I've really been looking into a 6.5 or 6.8 semi-automatic rifle because I really like the potential the round has for an all-purpose fighting/marksman/hunting rile, but I wouldn't want to do so at current ammo prices. If more demand would mean more rifles built for it and...
