You certainly shouldn't feel obligated to purchase one. If you don't like AR-style weapons, then don't buy one.

The Bush Adminsitration has never been pro-gun. The Ashcroft DoJ was, but that went away after 2004. Gonzales was no friend to gun owners, and it seems that Mukasey has an anti streak in him, as well.

I think it's pretty obvious that Chrysler's Magnum line of engines had a gun-inspired name. I mean, .44 Magnum => 440 Magnum? Too obvious.

I don't know about this University of Chicago study, but all the polls at PollingReport indicate that the national gun ownership rate has hovered at around 40-45% for the better part of the last two decades. Also, the latest polls indicate an almost perfect 50/50 split amongst the population in...

If the election came down to McCain and any of the Democratic front-runners, you'd be a fool not to vote for McCain.

The best Ruger investment you can make is to buy stock in the company. You'll get a much better ROI than with any gun.

Yeah, a little bit...

I don't know if To Catch a Predator itself is anti-gun, but there is no question in my mind that Dateline as a whole is.

To my knowledge, Connery has never pushed gun control in the United States. The campaign in the OP was for Great Britain. If they want to pursue a gun-ban agenda, that's their business. Just as long as they don't push that nonsense over here, I couldn't care less.

I believe they are illegal, unless you are an SOT.

Then how are you supposed to describe things like the 32-round Glock machine pistol mags, or the 100-round Beta-C mags? When you compare the capacity of a double-stacked wonder-nine to that of a single-stacked 1911, what word are you supposed to use?

Would you have preferred the NFA passed in its original form, mandating registration and $200 tax stamps on all handguns, as well? Without the NRA, that is where we'd be today.

Completely, totally, 100% wrong. In 1986, all civilian possession of machine guns was banned, with the exception of SOTs and weapons lawfully possessed before the ban date. I don't know where this completely false yet peristent myth about the '86 ban originated, but it has no foundation in...

Not only were the guns expensive back then, ammunition was much more expensive than it is today (adjusting for inflation, of course). That's definately a concern for a gun with a 50-round magazine and a cyclic rate (for the Model of 1921) of nearly 1,000 rounds per minute. Also, people back...

Does anybody know the ten Senators who voted against the amendment? I'll bet half of them are Democratic presidential candidates.
