Another vote here for Ballistol.

I've sent them emails asking questions, but never received a reply. I figured they weren't email types, so I scratched them off my list. I prefer to communicate via email (I hate phones).

Ballistol :) It's great on salads too.

That is only true of handguns and transfers at gun shows. Private transfers of rifles and shotguns outside of a gun show do not require any sort of background check.

Yes, I've read it and it's a mighty fine book! More enjoyable than Herodotus, though obviously based on his history. I've also read Tides of War (about the Peloponnesian War) by the same author, but that wasn't as good.

Back when I had an SKS, I sent my entire bolt assembly to this guy: http://www.murraysguns.com/sksown.htm He installed a spring on the firing pin and cleaned it up really nice. I highly recommend the service, it was worth every penny.

It passed the Assembly in January, but now it's stalled in the Senate. http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A02466 FYI, there is already an assault weapons ban in NY, but this bill would tighten it up.

Not to nitpick, but that pizza parlor beating was in Akron, Ohio.

The following lines from the T.S. Eliot poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" have stuck in my mind since I first read the poem in high school... I've used this handle in lots of places through the years.

I have this on an M48 with S&K mounts. Beautiful scope :)

The NSSF was rebuked. Mayors only apparently.

Mine took about 9 months. No joke.

Just did a little more reading, and it seems I'm using a very narrow definition of the word "atheism". In some uses, it encompasses "agnosticism". I still prefer the latter since "without knowledge" is more precise regarding my position than "without god".

dmallind, I see where you're coming from, but I still maintain there is a distinction between atheist and agnostic. Huxley wasn't referring to the Gnostic sect(s) of Christianity when he coined the term. He was referring to the root Greek word which simply means "knowledge". He was...

Self-proclaimed agnostic here. It's funny that you note the origin of the term "agnostic" and then completely misunderstand why Huxley coined the term in the first place. He found himself trying to decide between all the various "-isms" around him and felt that he just didn't have the...

It's true that Ben Franklin wrote that in his Almanac, but in reality, Ben was a teetotaler.

I thought Suzanna Gratia Hupp was leaving politics? http://www.nrapublications.org/woman's%20outlook/Texas.asp

Mongo, I tried looking for mayoral candidate NRA ratings, but couldn't find them (only found governor, state legislature, etc). I would assume attendance at Bloomberg's "summit" would indicate, and hopefully contribute to, a poor NRA rating. [EDIT]: Me so stupid! I thought you were referring...

:barf: I read about this from a NYSRPA alert earlier this morning. It's interesting to look over who's attending this "summit": Mayor Laura Miller, Dallas, Texas Mayor John Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Mayor Tom Barrett, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mayor Anthony Williams, Washington, DC Mayor...

Does anyone have any examples of folks in this country (I know of cases in the UK) sued or criminally convicted for using deadly force in self defense? Don't get me wrong, I'm just wondering if there was a problem before this legislation hit the scene.
