I'm maybe misunderstanding you here. But if THR takes any position--even one of refusing to take an official position-- other than of all races, religious, and ethnicities being suitable for the right to keep and bear arms, I don't believe I care to be a member here any longer. There is refusing...

I'm fairly certain that many people here are misinterpreting existing anti-discrimination laws. Notably, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title II, only prohibits racial, religious, etc discrimination against customers by "public accommodations" which include hotels, restaurants, etc, but does...

mortablunt: Guided anit-aircraft missiles are prohibited separately by TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 113B, § 2332g

You may be more comfortable maintaining the four rules even when the gun is holstered/pocketed, but regardless of whether you choose to do so, they most certainly do apply when you're fidgeting with it to engage the safety. It would have been appropriate to excuse yourself to the restroom to...

Commonwealth v. Hawkins was good reading, and I particularly got a kick out of It isn't, however, as relevant to OC as you claim it is: the justices conclude

There's an argument to be made for a well-equipped and staffed police force, but I don't think terrorism is that argument. Firstly, terrorist attacks are rare. They capture much attention, certainly, but you're more likely to be murdered for other reasons. Over the last 10 years in the...

It's solid at room temperature, so no, don't let it down the drain.

Lets see... I'll need to wait for morning, bike to the nearest FFL, buy a rifle, wait 10 days, retrieve it... About 248 hours, 12 minutes, 37 seconds. I would probably do better to buy a car and drive to Nevada. (I live in a college dorm).

Libya isn't 3rd world--their per-capita GDP is comparable to Mexico, although it is heavily influenced by their oil production. Life expectancy at birth is 77.6 (less than 1 year less than the US) and 82% of the country is literate. (Source) As to the average American... I suspect the average...

I think it's just a trick of perspective--look at his elbow in front of the RPG gunner moments before. It must have been pretty loud, though. It's unfortunate to see so many of them shooting unaimed, particularly when they're all firing over the wall. And wow; the man in the front-end...

I can see the reasons for being concerned with both in general, but I think the author's concern in this case is misplaced. Anti-armor mines are substantially different than anti-personnel mines, and are not prohibited under the Ottawa convention. And as for young Mr. Abdulgader... well, I...

Their FAQ says That doesn't really clarify it much, but at least might give some idea of where to look.

Hit the floor and start crawling to where you can cover the door. If bullets are flying through your home, it's either 1) A drive-by (or similar) shooting against you, and they're not going to stick around to enter (if they wanted to come in and make sure you were dead, they would have waited...

At the moment, the Mateba MTR-8. Not that I expect I could afford one, even if there were any sellers.

It was even a rainy day. :rolleyes:
