Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammed (The Beltway Snipers) used a Bushmaster, IIRC. That as far back as I can remember.

I always love that particular nugget of dishonesty. It makes my day to read it haha.

Which makes them insanely expensive and only within the grasp of very serious gun owners and/or collectors . . . who, historically, are not law breakers.

A lot of is being born and raised in NY. The atmosphere is so different WRT guns. The whole reason I keep saying machine guns are "banned" is because, well, in New York they are! It's frustrating to keep clear in my brain, but I will make the change.

I understand that. But, say, in New York, machine guns are banned. If you want to buy a machine gun you need to be a licensed dealer and shell out the requisite money. I know it is different in other states. But you're right, I should put a paragraph in there about the 1986 law. Thanks for...

Also 2nd amendment arguments don't work on these people.

Also, guys, you have to understand the people I'm communicating with. We all know that automatic weapons aren't banned banned. They can still be obtained by dealers and other licensed individuals. But the point is, some yahoo off the street can't go into a store and buy one, and that's the...

Sam1911, you're right about the "breech loading" thing. I don't know how that got in there!

I'm not spamming my blog. I want to have a conversation about this, but it is fairly long and there are some expletives, and I know those don't fly over here. Basically I got tired of all my liberal friends frothing at the mouth over ASSAULT RIFLES!!!. I post on a very left-leaning message...

My only problem with moving back to New York (Rochester area, specifically) is the handgun silliness. Waiting 6-8 months for a permit? That seems a bit ridiculous if you ask me. It's almost like they made the process so intensely annoying because they want people to give up. When I lived in...

Also is getting a rifle with a fixed (welded, pinned, etc) magazine still a way to circumvent NY's hilarious definition of "Assaul Rifle"? As I mentioned in the OP, they were doing that in CA back in the day. So long as you had a fixed mag you could have all the grenade launchers you wanted.

I want a pre-ban but my God they are expensive.

Am I correct in assuming that other AR-15"ish" rifles are okay, proved they are under the evil features limit?

Hi all! After the recent tragic events I've decided I'm buying an AR-15 (or some variant thereof), as I foresee another ban coming down the road. However, I'm moving to western NY in a few weeks. So now I don't know what, exactly, I'm allowed to buy. I know when I lived in CA years...

Does it seem suspicious to anyone else that an 11 year old was even able to handle a .500? Ty

Thanks for all the replies! I grew up around a machine shop; my father owned a tool and die shop for years, so I'm pretty familiar with lathes and mills and whatnot. My only concern was being underprepared for the "gun" part of gunsmithing. Mechanically, I'm a pretty competent. I worked...

I've been a lurker here for a while, so please excuse my late greetings. Anyways, I've just been discharged from the US Navy (I did six years) and I wanted to get into gunsmithing. I own three guns, currently. A Sig 226, a Ruger REDHAWK .44, and a Remington 870. I handled a lot of small...
