Although the founding fathers wouldn't have been able to take modern weapons completely into consideration, they surely would not have been oblivious to the notion of advances like repeating firearms. Although black powder firearms of their time were somewhat primitive by today's standards, Air...

Well I think the negativity around the WASR has to do with the WASR-10 model specifically. Many people view it as a "neutered" rifle as it's an AKM with a single-stack magazine. The overabundance of models with thumbhole stocks, viewed by some as tacky, kind of cheapens the experience for some...

Pocket-carrying a mousegun with a chambered round without a holster? Sounds like an easy way to mess up your gun and family jewels at the same time. Lint-filled pockets get real snaggy and can catch on your gun. I wouldn't trust safety alone on a mousegun either. The safeties are...

I'm surprised that the media isn't drawing up a bigger storm around this catastrophe. This is an outright scandal, and should be treated as such. Giving drug traffickers guns to see what they do with them, then realizing after the fact that you never had a way to track the guns in the first...

I use the break free liquid. Can't say I notice any fumes from it. Then again, I don't "douse" my guns in it either. I just apply a little to a patch and wipe off the excess burned powder. Then finish it off with a couple dabs on moving parts from the straw. The spray can may be...

Well I think that in the case of HK, they strike people as a bit of an oddball because of their non-traditional designs. And because they fall in line price-wise with the more traditional Sig, a lot of people with that price range in mind just buy the Sig instead. But the hate for Taurus...

It's a Jersey Thing, you wouldn't understand...

Yeah, i'm sure that all those full-auto weapons, grenades and RPG's they find whenever they make a drug bust came from the San Antonio Walmart. The media needs to point the finger where it belongs, at Mexican Army Desserters and International Arms Smugglers. If Diamond smugglers have the...

Well the thing is that you can get a gun that isn't a disposable for a few dollars more than something engineered to break, if not cheaper. A used Hi-Point can be had for a hundred bucks easy and come with a lifetime warranty. Thats only about 30 bucks more than a new POS Raven cost 20 years...

You have to register guns in Nevada? With legal prostitution and gambling, I would have thought Nevada to be a more forward thinking state...

Anti-Constitutionalists love bringing up the fact that we didn't have semi-autos and revolvers when the second amendment was written. What they generally forget to mention are the forgotten arms of the day that would scadalous today. In the time of the PITA to load musket, there were also...

Well some .22 ammo is very mediocre. I remember back in JROTC in high school, a combination of cheap .22 ammo and rifles that were never cleaned led to a squibb misfire that resulted in the bolt of my remington 40 getting stuck in the open position. Give the gun a good cleaning and try...

I keep a yard stocked with only the finest wild attack rabbits. Any intruder would need the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to reach the front door.

well crooks always look for the easy money. After they get in your place and grab something they think is of worth, their going to want to get out and hawk their stolen goods so they can buy some meth or crack rocks. i've also heard a reccomendation out there for people that keep an...

UPS sucks My folks bought an expensive laser printer off the costco website. Delivery day comes, the UPS guy shows up to drop it off, and he drops it off alright. A five foot drop off the back of the truck. Lowering it down off the deck would have been to simple for this simple-minded...
