    Any advice about the M1A?

    Thanks for everyone's help I'm still in the process of looking for one online. I've found a couple in my price range over at gunsamerica and gunbroker, and have made an inquiry or two. I'd prefer an 18" scout if I can find one, but I can live with a 4" longer barrel on a standard. A couple...

    Any advice about the M1A?

    I'm considering buying another rifle, and I've eyed the M1A for a long time. Any thoughts on this rifle--advantages, shortcomings, etc., where to buy, what accessories, so on and so forth. Thanks in advance, guys. jth

    Which .45??

    And I'm partial... ...to Heckler & Koch. Their USP line of pistols (and the guns based on them) can't be beat for reliability. jth

    "Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness" - FBI

    I downloaded the article and read it a couple of weeks ago. It sounded like it was a reaction to Marshall-Sanow, but this one seems to want to go to the other extreme. The truth is probably somewhere in between. jth

    Shootin Auto Today!

    Dude, that is great! There's hope for those in MA. Full auto is very fun to shoot. My only experience involved someone who brought a M-11 to the range I went to in Hallandale. It caught everyone's attention. I hung around, and asked him questions how he got it, and he explained to me the...

    Other countries want to disarm US, rest of world

    Israel's ban on small arms Anyone else see this in the news a few days ago? I think they restricted firearms somewhere in Israel--for the purposes of making people more manageable (trying to move some settlers out, IIRC). It was the first time in my lifetime I have seen gun control for what...

    Methinks we're in Trouble

    Parental involvement I was waiting to see if anyone would bring that up. Excellent, migoi! A friend of mine who taught at a private school in Pennsylvania was telling me how she would bring in all sorts of volunteers to help her in areas she was lacking in, as far as personal resources...

    Minutemen step up Mexican border patrol

    I guess we all see the gloss... This statement bothered me the most of all. Screw legitimacy--let's get the dollars! Profit at the expense of principles. grr jth

    So I'm looking to buy my first handgun...

    Ditto on the HK It does cost more, but it is well worth the investment. I prefer fullsize guns myself (I used to carry a USP9 fullsize concealed), but that's just my opinion. jth

    German SPD pulling an Al Gore?

    Was meinst du von den beiden Kandidaten? Stahl, I want to hear a German's opinion about the two candidates. What do you think about them? jth

    Robert Heinlein and guns

    My wife responds to anti's verbal assault

    It happens when you're out of the loop. Out-of-staters are really clueless about how wild our state is, which justifies the hardware your more sensible Alaskan carries with him. Good story, btw, Jordan! Greetings from Delta Junction! jth

    German SPD pulling an Al Gore?

    Heh. Red blindness Are you serious? Were they talking about the aftermath of the hurricane, or the hurricane itself? Sounds like a dumb question, but I wouldn't put it past leftist propaganda to blame capitalism for either. But as we know, the latter is a clear-cut case of s**t happens...

    German SPD pulling an Al Gore?

    Hello, everyone at THR--good to be back among some of the ol' TFL gang (I went by Ulfilas over there). I've been keeping track of the German general elections over the past few days. Seems to me that libs are the same everywhere you go. The conservatives got their candidate through (first...
