    Biden gives tactical advice...shotgun vs AR

    So which one is it Joe, do they make killing too easy? Or are they too complicated for us peasants... er... "Ordinary Citizens" to use? Combine this with his constant mangling of terminology, (clip instead of magazine, shell instead of cartridge, not to mention the meaningless euphemism that is...

    How to teach autoloaders 101?

    I'm unclear on what the problem is exactly. Are you saying this person simply forgets that they have an empty chamber and is slow to rectify the problem? (seems the most likely to me) Or are you saying that they actually don't know how the gun works/what racking does etc.? In the first case...

    LLama Especial problem.

    Whoa! I thought I was the only one who had one of these. I hope I won't be taking this thread off topic, but I've got a problem of my own and I was wondering if you guys knew what was up. Mine is in .380ACP and it seems to malfunction a lot. It's never stovepiped, but seems to experience a...

    So getting an AR seems unlikely, so...

    I would disagree with you on some points. Carbines are favored by many professionals for close quarters use. With a 16" 5.56 upper, you get excellent ballistics, a weapon that you can shoulder (and therefore control better), and the overall length is such that it sticks out only about as far as...

    Beginner Look for the right rifle.

    If you're new to shooting I would recommend starting with a bolt-action .22 You want to build skills and good habits, and learn to make your shots count. Think of it this way: you wouldn't learn to fly in an F/A-22 Raptor, you'd start with a training plane first. With a .22 you can practice all...

    What if BATF Adds Semi Autos to the NFA?

    I make a point not to disrespect anybody, but forgive me for not trusting an over-armed tax agency with wanton massacres to its name.

    I watched Bowling for Columbine, don't get mad at me.

    Michael Moore is a funny guy. He points to a culture of fear and a culture of racism, wraps them up in a really cool theory... and comes to a totally backwards conclusion. The only ones living in media-generated fear are the anti-gun crowd, who have their roots in racist laws (he even admits to...

    What if BATF Adds Semi Autos to the NFA?

    Massive noncompliance. I would rather chew glass than deal with the BATFE. I would rather deal with the hardest, most tattooed Crips; I'd probably be safer anyway.

    engaging the active shooter

    I don't know about headshots. I recognize their importance in stopping the threat, especially given the propensity for these shooters to wear body armor (as of late), but I don't think they're practical. One of my best friends is a Ranger veteran and PMC instructor. Before I moved, we would hit...

    *** 10-round magazine limit argument ***

    It's from the Ruger letters. Bill Ruger told congress "no honest man needs more than ten shots." Either it was a smart move, as it kept them from banning guns, or it was an insidious mistake that cost us the first AWB. Depends on who you talk to.

    Is this blatantly illegal or within the boundaries? (Cali magazine laws)

    So long as they are repair parts, they are legal. http://www.hoffmang.com/firearms/DOJ-large-cap-magazines-2005-11-10.pdf This is why mag-cap bans don't work.

    My letter to Feinstein

    I figured she wouldn't care, but I thought I might as well do my part to let her and her staff know how many votes it's gonna cost her.

    Shooting with both eyes open

    When my prescription ran low once, I spent a few weeks only wearing the contact lens in my dominant eye. Now I have a pretty easy time "choosing" which eye to focus through. I shoot with both eyes open, sometimes with the non-dominant eye halfway lidded. When using a high-power scope I tend to...

    Witch Hunt: Newspaper publishes Google Map of NY Gun Permit Owners

    Imagine if they had posted a similar map for everyone with a prescription for strong painkillers. You know, for the children. It's disgusting. An open invitation for robbery and harassment.

    How significant would a new AWB and a 10 round limit be to rifle effectiveness?

    Interesting fact: Eric Harris (of the Columbine massacre) used a break action shotgun with a capacity of two, which he reloaded 96 times. Magazine size doesn't matter for mass murderers. It absolutely does not. Armed people will terrorize unarmed people until met with armed resistance.
