Thanks for posting the summary of the hearing. I find it puzzling why the sponsor(s) of the bill feel the need to limit discussion and free exchange of ideas on the legislation if their bill has so much merit.

I have been tracking this bill very closely since the sponsors stated they were going to introduce it back in Dec. 2009. I realize it's still in committee, a first step in the WA legislative process. However, I believe it is important that we show strong support for the preservation of our 2A...

A quick consultation with a lawyer might not be as expensive as you think. Legal advice is only as good as the person giving it. (hint: do not use the internet as your only source for legal advice). Every time I have had occasion to use a lawyer, it seemed expensive. A good lawyer can run...

M16/AR15 is clearly an Icon already. The better question is: When the U.S. Military moves to it's next main battle rifle, what will become of all the M16A1's, A2's, M4's, etc? Will they be "converted" to semi-auto and re-sold through the CMP? I know LEO's and their depts. can already purchase...

20 or more I have never said to myself "hmm...I think I have too many magazines". It's also good to remember the prices and availability of 30-round mags during the dark years of 1994-2004. Once you hit triple digits in magazines for any one caliber/gun, you may want to consider slowing...

I guess I just have a fondness for dirty commie guns...and now I'm done blustering. Did the OP ever make a decision as to which firearm will be purchased first?

Agreed. The Garand is a majestic looking rifle. AK's have all the elegance and grace of a spork.

It's pretty clear based on the polling that I'm in the minority and fighting an uphill battle in this regard. Setting aside the subjective qualities of "fun" and "needs". I'd like to steer the debate back to the technical and economic merits of WASR-10 ownership. Several technical and...

"Both Are Worth Owning" Definitely!

In response to J-easy's comments: You're correct on the rifle cost being less expensive through CMP - for some folks who don't belong to ranges or a shooting club, the paperwork required to purchase through CMP may be "objectionable" to some - including a membership cost to a range - I would...

Wasr-10 WASR-10 without question. *Flame suit on* I appreciate the history of the Garand, recognize that the quality, crafstmanship and overall condition of the gun will likely be better. However, this comes at a cost. If it's a collection piece you don't plan to shoot, the Garand is the...

Also saw this movie last night. Depp was in fine form. The shootouts were very realistic. As with most hollywood movies, the round-count vs. reloads was inconsistent, but still entertaining. I would also say the the Thompson was the most prominently featured weapon in the movie. There was a...

Spot on, Mr. Workman. Well done. I find it ironic that the very people they attempt to demonize are directly responsible for defending their freedom to express themselves in print.

Let's debate the merits of Savage being a RKBA advocate, not his other political positions. The reason to boycott him via THR would be a judgment on where he stands on 2A issues. Based on his previous broadcasts, I think it's fair to say that the linked commentary is simply a tool to energize...

Glock 19. Poll choices=fail. G36 would be my choice if forced to use the above options. I bought some .357 Sig once to feed an M&P chambered for it at the range. Never did that again. It was the most expensive range session I ever had. Avoid uncommon calibers for guns you wish to shoot often.
