Thanks Westfair for posting that video - that was incredible. But I was watching the former marine cpl who posted the letter to Feinstein, and he brought up a point when the CNN interviewer mentioned something about Feinstein's willingness to protect hunting and sporting rights - he said, and...

I didn't read every response so forgive me if this is redundant, but I see where the OP is coming from and don't 100% disagree with him or Alaska. Since the AWB and the damage it did to the Dem majority, only the most fervent of antis in congress were willing to discuss the issue of gun control...

I definitely disagree with the article. Obama now has nothing to lose. He's won a second term and is essentially done running elections, he "won" the fiscal cliff debate with the raising of taxes and virtually no dent in spending - he's going to take his clout for a ride and see who else besides...

The thing is, putting in place any number of background checks would not have prevented this tragedy. You will never be able to legislate crazy out of the population.

I have to say I agree with most of the posts here - 25-50K rounds is a lot. They could have easily said that the problems with the gun were normal wear and tear, and we can get you a new one at retail 699. So they're offering you 310 dollars for a very well used, dysfunctional firearm. I'm...

GoTigers has the right idea. If you're goal is to prepare for the worst of times, you're focusing too much on one situation. If there is a true SHTF scenario, running out of food and water is going to be a statistically more relevant dire strait than single handedly scouring the countryside...

I have an M&P 15, had it for a couple of years now and it's been nothing but great. If you can get a discount on one then it's that much better. The MOE version comes already loaded with a few upgrades which is nice, the only downside being that the handguard doesn't allow you to attach a...

IMO, the only reason you ever need to justify the purchase of a new firearm is that you want one! ;) I never thought I was a rifle guy until well before obama was elected I decided to get an AR before prices went up and Obama potentially outlawed them - then I got hooked. So be warned.

Does anybody still like them? Heck yeah! My beretta 92FS was the first pistol I bought on my own and still have it - it's what I compare everything else to. Yes it's big and heavy, but man is it nice to shoot. Never had an issue with mine - absolutely love it.

I have a 556 Patrol SWAT - got it about a year ago as prices on them dropped. For what I paid for it I love it - love the trigger, I like the balance of the patrol swat - haven't had any probs with it so far. At the price they were originally charging: 1500 - 1800 I don't know, but for around 1k...

Great video Sturm - what an awesome event to get to go to.

A "survival" situation can take on many meanings. To some, weathering a job loss is a survival situation, to others it means the governments' chem trails leading to the zombification of the masses, and only those with the right combination of AR accessories are immune. In my world, the best...

my wife and I have Glock 19s and she has a G26 - so their is some redundancy there. I have a sig 229 and I want to get a 229 e2 so that I have a second pistol that can use it's mags. I used to not think about redundancy until recently - now it's a little more of a priority.

I hate these situations where certain politicians force us to defend our rights and freedoms, using a tragedy like this as a backdrop, so it is spun that as a community we're a bunch of heartless gun mongers, when in reality the fact that this tragedy occurred had nothing to do with...

Thanks for posting that John - thankfully he had the presence of mind not to draw and open fire on the guy holding the gun who was not the shooter. This is exactly why even though we have the responsibility to protect ourselves and those around us, we cannot act in haste - this guy made the...
