The NJ Attorney General has issued a report finding that the Armatix iP1 handgun that was at times offered for sale in certain stores around the country does NOT meet the criteria of a "personalized handgun" as defined by the NJ Smart Gun law, and will therefore not trigger the law's requirement...

This question has intrigued me for a little while now, and I thought I'd solicit opinions from our esteemed membership for some insight. Following the enactment of the federal AWB in 1994, I seem to recall that the efforts of the anti's to push for more legislation, both at the federal and...

You would be right, if you could somehow convince ALL 97,500,000 to vote for gun control AND reliably get them out to the polls on Election Day - an impossible feat. When have that many voters ever agreed on a single issue and voted for it in such an overwhelming percentage? I think you're...

You can't count the entire US population as a potential voting pool. According to the Census Bureau, as of 2012, 23.5% of the entire population is under 18, and thus ineligible to vote (and own guns). http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html Also, voter turnout in recent...

Says who? Your previous posts suggest NY/NJ-style gun control could be "imposed" unilaterally and at any moment nationwide. If that's the case, why hasn't it happened yet? We have a president who just a day ago was publicly lamenting the failure of his signature gun law as the biggest...

Originally posted by Midwest: I'm no fan of BHO's views on gun ownership, but I read this entire article and could not find where he said anything about "confiscation." Oh, I'm sure that he privately would like nothing more than to round them all up (if he could), but as far as I can gather...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/05/28/after-california-shooting-house-Democrats-to-push-for-gun-control-measures/ Looks like House Democrats are trying to see if they can sneak in a UBC amendment into an upcoming spending bill for federal agency budgets. With the current makeup...

I'm interested in the general consensus, if there is any, among our esteemed THR members of where the future of our RKBA might be heading. Idle speculation aside, we've seen some recent positive developments (AWB sunset, the Heller and McDonald opinions, the defeat of major gun control proposals...

Federation? Replicators? I believe all that time in carbonite has left you confused as to which franchise you inhabit, Mr. Solo. :D

...became feasible, and then push for a ban on that stuff. Few if any would own them, there'd be practically no opposition, and before you know it, *poof* - our AR's become the modern equivalent of the flintlock musket. Once that time comes, it'll be somewhat pointless to argue how dangerous...

I bought a 1911 in NJ on 1/5, and I wasn't able to pick it up until 1/8. My LGS was also doing the NICS check via fax, but aside from the 3 day delay, there were no reports of failures to respond. My understanding of it was that it was being done because their phone lines were being...

There is certainly reason to be concerned that Northeast RINO's will cave or outwardly support gun control efforts, but I was pleasantly surprised from this reasoned response from my congressman, Scott Garrett, from NJ of all places: Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me about gun...

Originally posted by RX-178: I signed up with popvox and did my part, but here's a disturbing little tidbit from that site: https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101 The above link is not an actual bill up for consideration, but simply a call for "common sense legislation to end gun...

Everyone needs to write & call their reps at both the state AND federal levels to reaffirm that we will not accept any encroachment upon our rights because of the evil acts of one deranged individual, as tragic and heart-wrenching as they are. Nevertheless, there is cause not to panic either...

I will be traveling to Las Vegas in a few weeks for a short vacation. I have both a FL and VA non-resident CCW which I understand are not honored in Nevada, so I won't be carrying anywhere. Nevertheless, I would like to bring my semi-auto handgun with me and just keep it in the hotel room safe...

Following Tuesday's presidential debate, Obama mentioned his support for a renewed AWB and perhaps regulation of (cheap) handguns. Setting aside for the moment the constitutionality of any AWB, I thought the possibility of a ban on handguns was already barred by the Heller and McDonald...

Given the scandal surrounding the whole Fast & Furious operation and increasing mainstream acknowledgment of its roots as a manufactured controversy to make the case for gun control, how many here feel that this administration's (or any in the near future) attempts at further 2A restrictions...

Seems like a good idea to me - I sometimes see kits with wooden rods for shotguns, but nothing for pistols/rifles. It may be less sturdy than a brass or steel rod, but I think it would greatly reduce or eliminate the possibility of bore damage in the event of a slip during cleaning. I...

Greetings all, I was lucky enough to acquire a Ruger SR1911 last week, and after cleaning my new toy, I was somewhat surprised to discover that the bore appears roughly finished - not something I'd expect from from a brand new pistol, honestly. I'm not necessarily looking for a mirror...

Hey all, I need to get the following work done on my bone-stock Colt Series 70: 1. Machine frame to accept beavertail grip safety 2. Machine dovetails in front & rear of slide to accept current-production night sights 3. Complete refinish in a protective coating (not blued or hard...
