    Instructables.com pretty much confirmed their anti-gun stance. We're too controversial.

    What is the question here? Whether I'm willing or not is irrelevant (it's not like being unwilling to pay taxes changes anything). Would I be indifferent if that happened? Absolutely not. Would I feel responsible if that happened out of no fault of my own? Well, not really (no). Do I think I...

    Instructables.com pretty much confirmed their anti-gun stance. We're too controversial.

    The site is for user generated content (the vast, vast majority). There is no correlation between the quality of one post and that of the next. It's the same as Youtube. Yup, a majority is worthless content with no practical use whatsoever, but it's also the only site I know of where one can...

    So are Americans actually really anti gun?

    "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics" - popularly misquoted to Mark Twain I've wondered the exact same thing about that same statistic. I don't know what the question was, but I can't imagine 90% of gun owners stating that. Heck, I can't imagine 90% of gun owners agreeing on anything...

    Instructables.com pretty much confirmed their anti-gun stance. We're too controversial.

    If you're a DIYer, I bet you've stumbled upon their page in the last decade at least once but never really noticed. Normally I'll read a post on a website but not pay much attention to the name if I'm just browsing search results. I only started participating on the site less than a year ago. In...

    Instructables.com pretty much confirmed their anti-gun stance. We're too controversial.

    I never implied they didn't have to right to do so. They certainly do. Same way brick and mortars can ban conceal carry. But that doesn't mean that every time gun owners are declared persona non grata we should just say "Oh well" and not even show our discontent. I know it's easy to dismiss...

    Optics Planet no longer selling >10rd mags

    I just messaged them to say that while I won't be boycotting just yet and imagine their hand was forced, the change doesn't sit well with me and doesn't leave me indifferent. I'd suggest the rest do the same, at the very least to let them know that their buyers care and they should consider...

    Hey guys! Sorry for the long length though, but I thought it appropriate to post context. I'm sure plenty of you guys are also avid DIYers, who have invariably ended up on Youtube or some forum posts looking for a how-to, or writing a how-to yourself. Repairing, modding and upgrading firearms...

    do you even med kit bro?

    Pretty good example. I bought a box of a dozen or so CAT torniquets about a year ago (counterfeit but good enough, the dozen cost the same as 2 or 3 of the reals ones) to stash in every car and backpack I typically use (as well as a real first aid kit). However I think I'm the exception...

    Need advice regarding starting a small gunsmithing operation

    Plus one for youtube with high production values. Think this - Iphone 6 Plus screen replacement Its not the best example (I've seen better, that was just a quick youtube search), but it gives you a chance to show why they should pay you, the quality of your work, it makes them skeptical of...

    modification for firing blanks?

    Pfff don't remind me. I wonder if I'll ever stop cringing when I see guns firing full auto with absolutely no muzzle lift whatsoever... Or repeated one handed, 50 yard headshots from revolvers with 19 round capacity. Talk about suspension of disbelief. It makes cocking the hammer of a glock not...

    American Eagle-Independence Ammo Rebate: PIA

    In that case they're doing a piss-poor job of it, if all it takes is a pen, scissors, a stamped envelope and 15 minutes to take care of it. Perhaps it would be fairer to say that they are designed to sound difficult to fulfill. Nowadays I think they're just living on the reputation. These days...

    do you even med kit bro?

    I appreciate the insight, it was interesting. Question though. The eternal debate that seems so popular lately, Hands only CPR good enough? I can't really believe that ventilation is not worth it, just in case. You might break a few ribs doing the hand pumps, so ventilating isn't necessarily...

    American Eagle-Independence Ammo Rebate: PIA

    True. I always end up sending them to the same address (different po box) in some city somewhere (I don't remember where right now). Especially the rebates on electronics. Those all seem to be handled by the same company. They actually advertise their services on what amount of rebates they...

    Did you end up doing anything? I remembered this post while organizing my mini first aid bag today.

    American Eagle-Independence Ammo Rebate: PIA

    That's how it works. The more people who think it's a hassle and don't claim the rebate they are entitled to, the more frequent and better rebates there are. Manufacturers have made clear that they wouldn't be able to give instant discounts as big as their rebates. For those used to the process...

    Does anyone have or know a good "What to do after a self-defense shooting" "Cheat-sheet"?

    I'm surprised to hear that, granted I'm not sure were on the same page. If you have to shoot someone, it's because they were a lethal threat. I am not about to get into bad-breath distance with that person again, period. Much less to help restore him to "working conditions". There are plenty of...

    Does anyone have or know a good "What to do after a self-defense shooting" "Cheat-sheet"?

    This is why self defense insurance is great. They "pre-vet" them for you (I'd hope), you've got national coverage, and a 24 hour hotline. I'd imagine they wouldn't have an issue assigning one lawyer within 24 hours simply because their location, and then switch to a lawyer with better...

    The ups and downs of Gunbroker auctions...

    Unless it is effectively trivial. Motive matters, and like most things, its seldom right to attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence. I bet it was more him not caring rather than him feeling like he was benefiting in some real way. Especially considering it was an auction and...

    Absolutely agree, and I don't think many are aware of this. It was included in the pdf from the previous post for that reason. No, it doesn't. Not necessarily at the very least.
