Calaverasslim Which one - DeZevala, 1604 & 281, other? I wouldn't mind for some things, though I still like to support either the local Mom & Pops or a place like Grafs that is truly pro-gun.

Leadcounsel said: Here's a quote from the single best article I've ever read concerning this subject: "Make no mistake: all politicians—even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership—hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's...

I quite agree. The Hughes (may that SOB rot in Hell) amendment to FOPA (Title 18, Section 922(o) of the US Code) bans an entire class of weapons (post-5/18/86 full autos) for civilian ownership. These are not inherently dangerous weapons, not when a functionally-identical weapon manufactured a...

Thanks. You cannot be too safe. You might want to bring the 442 to a 'smith and have it looked at - there's no reason why all of the rounds shouldn't eject at the same time, unfailingly. I have a 442, and have never had that problem (nor with any other revolver. I just swing the cylinder...

As pointed out, this is a federal court. But something else to consider is that there can be judges from any of the states within a circuit appointed to the Circuit Court. Thus, for example, there could be a Montana judge deciding cases that arise in CA. IOW, it cuts both ways. I think...

About $0.85/lb. Fill up a 5-gallon bucket and you've got a nice amount of money from the recycler. Of course, using this brass for its intended use (if possible) is far more valuable.

A few thoughts: We each have money that we can spend on whatever. Every time I question a purchase of hers, I get "its my money and I'll spend it as I want to." OK, but that's a 2-way street, and I've told her as much on a couple of occasions. She's more calm about it. When she isn't...

Not THAT old - any penny minted pre-1982 is 95% copper, 5% zinc by weight. Many of the 1982 cents are also 95% copper, but the change occurred during the year and it is simply easier to separate the pre-'82 cents from the newer ones. The Memorial-backed cents were made by the billions from...

I'll go with all of those who divide the antis into 2 main camps. I like to call those camps the "Vanguard of the Proletariat" and the "Useful Idiots," respectively. The Vanguard IS your enemy. They know all about guns, they just don't want YOU to have any (or me, or anyone who is or may...

Note that if the bullets are black-tipped (i.e. AP), then save as much as you can (maybe shoot a few at a large tree to see what it can do). The AP is becoming more and more scarce.

Yes, but the gun IS the weapon, not the flash hider, bayonet lug, etc. Where's their authority to ban non-guns? Can they ban forks? My point is that once the gun itself is not subject to being banned under the 2nd, it is at best silly to discuss banning its accessories.

I believe that someone would attempt to obtain an injunction forbidding enforcement until the matter is sorted out.

Agreed. I'm a lawyer, though not a litigator. I shudder at the thought of preparing and conducting a trial - and I have some legal knowledge as a base, and could build on it fairly quickly. Nope, amateurs shouldn't bring cases. It is like trying to build a car from the ground up...

I thought that the purchase of replacement parts for full autos was allowed, so long as the original is actually destroyed (so as not to increase supply). What say any of you knowledgable about this?
