I have a C&R FFL and close to where my mother lives in Illinois they have a gun Auction at thanksgiving every year. One year I bought some guns under my license and while visiting my mother I wanted to clean them up. I go off to Walmart. Check out the sporting goods section and pick up some...

I guess maybe it depends on your definition of an "assault weapon". The Brady cult probably uses the "if it shoots a bullet thats assault so it must be an assault weapon" while the ATF probably uses a definition similar to what was in the AWB. :D

Buy it and restore it. It will make a good project. Make sure it functions well and you may be surprised how much you like it after putting in the time and effort. I often buy old broken guns and have a lot of fun fixing them up and shooting them then sell it to finance the next one. Don't...

Here is the actual MIL - STD if you are interested, list what it is made of and properties.

Maybe you could become a private investigator but there is probably some hitch in that also.

It is used for 20mm machineguns and costs the government $62.

My wife sells lots of stuff on Ebay and yes you can take a Postal Money order to the post office and cash it. I doubt the risks of getting a counterfeit postal money order are any greater than getting a bad check or other monetary instrument. Your bank would probably hold the funds until the...

If they put half the effort they put into gun bans into catching and keeping violent criminals off the street crime would be way down. Most if not all these shootings are probably gang related. I would like to think that the politicians are simply naive but don't they realize that if they ban...

" wouldn't consider the Lane Bryant clothing store in Tinley Park, Illinois to be especially risky. I've been in the neighborhood on several occasions. That didn't stop six women from being shot in the head execution style there. Most of us wouldn't consider clothes shopping in a suburban strip...

How would you register it? 1500 dollars is for the kit you would still have to build it.

"Funny that they would never think that banning crime would magically make criminals disappear." Now why didn't we think of that before. Lets make it illegal to shoot someone then we won't need all these gun laws.:D

Mark Twain is supposed to have said "There are lies, damn lies, and then theirs statistics." The odds of you encountering a dangerous criminal are entirely dependent on where you are. If you really want to know for your area go to one of the several websites that break it down by city. Some...

"We all know that straw buying occurs with some regularity. We all know that stolen guns make it into the wrong hands. And we all know that both phenomena are used to mislead the public into supporting anti-2A politicians. " First, what you KNOW and the TRUTH are often different things...

Another problem is implementation. Some gun dealers charge 50-75 dollars for a transfer. If I am selling a 75 dollar .22 to my neighbor why would I want to spend more for a dealer to make a phone call. I think the law would be widely ignored and very dificult to enforce creating a whole new...

It is well within the power of the president to ban or allow this type of thing as it has to go through the state department and atf. Only if congress passed some legislation prohibiting it would he not be able to do so. As I recall it was mostly due to political reasons they were banned from...
