    Meaningful dialogue with "antis"

    THR isn't an echo chamber, it's an anechoic chamber.

    How about no. No debate.

    Gun Owner Image

    It is being allowed to fade since the objective was met. Florida capitulated, and a massive triumph rally was held in DC with the clear message they are preparing the next assault for the next mass shooting. They "only" achieved siezing yet another key population center from gun owners

    10,000 Gun Owners Marching in the Streets!

    No, "normal people" are actually really, really lazy and don't care enough to go to a protest for an hour on a Saturday instead of the movies. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/APRIL-14TH-GUN-MARCH-UPDATED-OP/5-2095059/ Might as well link to where activism is *actually* being pursued Oh...

    YouTube to Dump Many Gun Videos

    I think we should ban Holland & Holland rifles & shotguns, since then blueblood Fudd gun owners would lose whatever claims they have to speak for those of us that actually value this public civil liberty.

    Gun Owner Image

    They don't believe us anyway if we say we need an AR for defense, hunting, or sport. The pretend we can make due with less in their "expert tactical opinion" and demand we agree with them, before moving the goalposts again. They're the worst kind of debate partners.

    Gun Owner Image

    The argument is that righteous, respectable gun owners can so impress the sheep they become the community leaders...or something. Doesn't work that way in practice as I can tell, since so few political or civil leaders are all that familiar with guns or gun culture, regardless of party.

    I've won a lot of 2A arguments with this video

    Thanks for the summary, that's exactly my reason for hesitating. We also have this 'drive by' rule here so it's good to at least describe what the video is. I'm familiar with the Luby's shooting & fallout, but not Mrs. Hupp's name, nor are many others.

    Surprise! It's NOT Just Bump Stocks (Ban Announcement)...

    There's two ways of looking at this, with the same conclusion; 1) That kid explaining bumpfire & showing why these won't work and will lead to a ban on all semis isn't the one getting bans in place. It is anti-gunners writing the laws, and complicit short-sighted gun owners agreeing with the...

    Not A Bump Stock

    They aren't clever, they are novel. As in, 'novel inventions.' Thumbhole stocks were a perfectly legal workaround to pistol grips in ban states, so they banned thumbhole stocks. Those goofy blade thingies were developed as a response to the ban on thumbholes. Did these alternate stock...

    Gun Owner Image

    And yet reported gun ownership collapses every time there's a push for gun control. The self-report variation only moves one way when it is present. There aren't many non-gunowners lying about owning guns.

    Gun Owner Image

    Maginot worked great after Newtown, at the federal level, and nearly every place else. LaPierre was not just defiant, he was clear. A simple, easily-internalized sound bite, repeated ad-infinitum, that was an argument & message all in one. The man has many faults & needs to go, but he said...

    Gun Owner Image

    So what do you think was the purpose of the gay pride parades, then? Just havin' fun? They were most definitely political, not some innocent 'summer of love' thing. It was explicitly (literally) about shocking bystanders into submission so more 'moderate' deviant behavior would become...

    Gun Owner Image

    Maybe my point wasn't clear; I wasn't referring to the attitudes of anti-gunners, but of the general public. Obviously not every ambivalent person thinks we're evil, since society is both a wave and a particle, so to speak. But in the aggregate, attitudes have definitely been trending downward...

    Surprise! It's NOT Just Bump Stocks (Ban Announcement)...

    I'm told Reagan played a role as well since he did sign it, and was advised by the NRA to do so since "they got theirs" as far as policy goals. We may end up losing semi-autos in the courts because of that short-sighted decision, same as with bump stocks. In return, we won paltry travel...

    Gun Owner Image

    Here's the thing, though; are gun onwers being treated as pariahs where you are because they don't dress nice, swear, or act aggressively/criminally? Or is it because they are gun owners? Because if it is just due to the guns, you won't change their attitude by changing or reinforcing your...

    Community

    I think we shouldn't be naive. More gun owners who tolerate gun control or encourage it, isn't very useful in the long run either. Teach new shooters, but make sure they understand the importance of 1) opposing new laws if they'd like to keep shooting, and 2) the utter implacability of the...

    Best tools for an 80% lower

    Take your time, let the tool work. A router is not a mill, *you* supply the cutting force instead of large screws, so you can only cut very shallow depths. Add some WD40 periodically between passes; particularly if your bits are steel, the router will spin them faster than needed & reduce...

    The California experience

    I'd just like a plausible explanation of what scattered forces in CA hope to achieve. A test-case is a real possibility, since progun districts don't have these laws to challenge, but the district courts consistently fail to hold reasonable rulings (and go en banc to override any odd partial...
