    When does a pile of junk become classified as a suppressor?

    Actually, that doesn't solve the problem. What the OP asked for is a discussion of a continuum fallacy. It's a interesting logical discussion.

    It's Time for a New Round

    And this is usually the answer in these scenarios :) There's not much new under the sun.

    Compilation of crimes that were repelled with standard-cap mags?

    What you're essentially saying is that criminals will obey the ban on standard capacity magazines. That's just silly. And it's completely ignoring the heart of the 2nd Amendment. The revolutionary war was pretty much fought with no repeating arms at all, so clearly, we don't need repeaters of...

    The Dreaded Bushmaster.

    What does Colorado have to do with this?

    Is this real?

    357 gyrojet?

    There's a bit of a difference between a round just hanging out in a tube and being ignited via heat and a round sitting in a barrel and ignited via a firing pin with a bolt face on one side. I would expect exactly what you see in Shadow 7D's link in this scenario. A pierced primer perhaps, but...

    357 gyrojet?

    Yeah, this is the part that really has me confused. I'm not really sure why one would expect "it would pop the primer out" to happen.

    357 gyrojet?

    I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're even describing. Appropriate user name perhaps?

    MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Attempts Public Shaming of Gunowners

    And that's what's so interesting about this one. What I'm waiting to see is if they kick it into even higher gear the next time it happens, or if we'll be back to where we were when Aurora/Virginia Tech etc. happened where we get a week or two of a few people in the news mentioning gun control a...

    MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Attempts Public Shaming of Gunowners

    Let's just hope we can go long enough without a similar incident for this to happen. I don't want to think of what things would be like if another elementary school gets shot up by a crazy with an "assault weapon" during the next couple of months.

    Pierce Morgan getting so obsessed with the AR

    If we're going to complain about the guy we can at least call him by his name. Piers. It's not even pronounced the same as Pierce. I think he's as misguided and worthless as everybody else around here does, but I can tell you that messing up his name isn't going to help lend your argument any...

    My wife is being surprised by some of her friends.. will be her turn soon.

    Have her watch some FPSRussia videos on YouTube. I kid, I kid. That's really good to hear. It's always tough to have a spouse that's disinterested or even outright opposed to a hobby, and even more so when it's something important like firearms.

    Interesting Read (Sandy Hook)

    There are definitely a lot of things that seem really really odd about this story and how it unfolded, which he started out questioning. Then he departed for crazy town. Oh well.

    1994 awb

    Naturally, as someone would have to be charged and convicted of violating it before even being able to appeal it up through the courts.

    How are things different than in 2008/2009?

    For whatever reason, the media has been banging on the gun control drum way, way harder than it has after previous similar events. This has made it look like there's more public support for it than there is. From what I've seen it has prompted the usual types on Facebook and whatnot to follow...

    Is anti-gun sentiment a new concept?

    I spent years and thousands of dollars to get an education in order to work in technology, not to mention the constant effort required to keep up with a quickly advancing field. If only I'd known I only had to sit on the thing instead of understand it... But I do see your point.

    Resources

    One common theme I've noticed on THR lately is a lot of comments along the lines of "Well, I know my reps are anti-gun, so I'm not going to bother writing them". Maybe if your rep is Feinstein, that's one thing... But I can't help but think that this is the wrong attitude. No matter how anti-gun...

    7,62x25 мах fps

    OK, but why exactly? I'm not really sure what this says, but according to your own post, it gained 150fps going from the tt33 to the ppsh. 56Hawk's graphs are an excellent illustration of the principles which govern velocity gain relative to barrel length. I would also suggest taking a look...

    7,62x25 мах fps

    150fps gain in 7 inches sounds about right for a round with a relatively small amount of relatively fast burning powder. Is there a reason this is not what you expected? Did you expect more or less gain?

    Acknowleging the Previous bans ineffectiveness

    Their response if you get the required number of signatures : The first assault weapons ban did nothing to prevent crime. But that's only because the ban didn't go far enough. If we go all the way and make all semi autos with removable magazines completely illegal, we'll definitely prevent...
