Dlowe, I haven't decided for certain that I'm getting rid of it. I'll PM you if I do. Posted from Thehighroad.org App for Android

Surprisingly, it's in good shape. There's a scuff on one of the plastic stocks, but other than that it looks good. Thanks for the feedback. Posted from Thehighroad.org App for Android

I'm considering selling a Ruger P91DC (.40 S&W) and I would like to hear some thoughts. I bought the gun from a friend years ago. It was originally stolen from a Gart Sports in Philadelphia and used in an attempted bank robbery. It was used to wound an innocent employee, who survived. The...

I kind of thought they treated gun owners as ridiculous collectors who simply want guns for the sake of having them, ignoring the usefulness of firearms for recreation and sport. They did at least touch on self-defense. I believe the statements about suicide in the UK are misleading. I recently...

Regardless of his legal status in another case, this seems to be a clear cut case of self-defense and unrelated to the assault charges. I'm not a lawyer and I can see how the pending legal case probably has some bearing on how the gun charges came about. That said, it appears that this sort of...

This is inaccurate. Blunt weapons account for more murders than rifles, alone. The argument that hammers account for more murders than guns is flawed and does us no favors. It certainly is a valid argument against banning ARs, in my opinion, but we have to be vigilant in the facts that we...

Realistically, I kind of support exemptions, as I understand the challenges LEOs face in the line of duty. Plus, they're more likely statistically to be involved in a situation requiring the use of these tools. Ideologically, I hate them as a tacit admission that their (congress') laws are crap...

I think the argument against LEOs being exempt begins with the (flawed) assumption that these laws work. If the laws that the antis pass are effective enough to keep banned items out of the hands of criminals, and the items that we are left with are sufficient (by non-expert opinion) to defend...

Second message sent, addressing the unintended consequences of "readily convertible" wording. I also placed a short phone call to the governor's office today. I'm not a political activist, but this is important; everyone should be doing at least one of these things. The link has been posted...

I suspected there was more to it. Makes sense to me. Posted from Thehighroad.org App for Android

Not buying it. I think the video was cut short, as I'm sure the VP wouldn't let his wife disarm herself in such a situation. Chances are he instructed Mrs. Biden to follow the next logical self-defense steps: urinate and/or vomit on your attacker. Every night before bed I drink a gallon of...

Can anybody verify the reports of DHS buying up to 1 billion rounds of ammo? One of the possibilities I heard on the radio this morning was that the government is trying to dry up the ammo market. Sounds a little too convoluted for me to buy it as a conspiracy. Besides, they're only drying up...

I posted on the thread that discussed the renaming of the black rifle. I still think its a bit late in this battle to expect it to change anyone's mind, but I'll admit it is a good idea long-term. Since I'm good at finding problems :) let me ask this: does referring to it as a "modern sporting...

I'm wondering at this point if we wouldn't be better off concentrating out efforts at Hickenlooper. It seems the Reps and Senators have no real interest in representing a large portion of the state, or even informing themselves about the issue(s) they're voting on (reminds me of Obamacare). The...

This, this, a thousand times this! I cannot begin to describe the attitude of my liberal opponents when I suggest that a minor "sacrifice" today can lead to ripples of consequence later. Dismissive at best, condescending at worst. They truly believe that there is no chance of tyranny here...

While this is an interesting argument, I would like to point out that those restrictions of a person's rights come AFTER they have committed a crime. Most of the proposed legislation targets all gun-owners based on an assumption that access leads to action. Do we restrict sales or access to...

I'm not sure that renaming/rebranding is going to be an effective tactic at this point. For years a portion of gun owners have been content to allow the "AR" to stand for "assault rifle", refusing to correct their friends and family out of ignorance or laziness. The media is no help for the...

A .22 - any .22 - is that trusty sidekick who always seems to be there when you need them. Maybe not the slickest, or the strongest, but always eager to help. Posted from Thehighroad.org App for Android

Yeah, that's actually the main reason I can't see a UBC working. While I don't see the issue with making sure I'm not selling to a felon or other irresponsible type, the only way the law becomes enforceable is through registration. That's a deal breaker every day. Posted from Thehighroad.org...
