    Gunpowder Explosion Kills Man Making Cannon

    sounds like this guy pretty well scorched his head past tolerance for life to continue. may have inhaled and took out his lungs as well. a very sad result to a very foolish activity-albeit one similar to several that God only knows why i and many other young men have been more than fortunate to...

    The REAL Hogzilla!...

    I realize that this pig might have been a pest or even a threat to someone or something important, but the rest of the story doesn't enhance my day. The story I read had the father and at least one other 'hunter' w/rifles following the kid as backup, so a humane dispatch of a pest doesn't appear...

    Calling On All Firearms History Buffs?

    Famous guns i remember reading somewhere that the gun used by Jack Ruby to shoot Oswald was auctioned for a goodly sum and then the purchaser went waving it around in D.C. to show it off and was arrested with the gun being promptly confiscated in the process. wonder if the guy got his purchase...

    Dr. Laura on the VT massacre

    National service I'm going to propose that for all 18 yr. olds(and I'm not going to jump around about rights too much because these are children who are ending the "child" phase of life and we should do the best to set them off right ) should do a mandatory two year national service thing where...

    Roanoke Times (VA) calls for repeal of 2nd Amendent

    2nd A The 2nd amendment doesn't bestow the right to have guns, because the people already have that right(that's why it says -"the right of the people...shall not be infringed"). The founding fathers considered the right of a person to be able to defend himself to be inalienable and were quite...

    Andy Rooney, 60 Minutes tonight, 3-11-07

    rooney i saw the rooney segment in question last night-i tape the later shows and i get the last of 'sixty minutes' as an overlap. i watch to see what he's complaining about. i'm not sure what he adds to the show unless it's some form of comic relief as an odd looking old curmudgeon who rails...

    reporting ebay illegal activity

    snitching i'm with the guy who wants to know if kfu reports all tag-light out violations he sees. after all, that would be a violation in progress and not just a matter of intent. can't see how one could find the time to donate as monitor for both the gov't. and ebay while maintaining a...

    dc commute the traffic is the killer around dc. guns a flat nono in dc. you can have guns in md(va. is out here because of the commute-make a couple of practice runs from nova to meade or wramc at rush hour[430am-1030am and 300pm-8pm] and decide for yourself),but you can't be in any way casual...

    For those against the War on Drugs

    just a few points here first, legality is not morality. second, framing an issue by attaching 'loaded' words('war on') to the argument is a sorry trick, and third, i'm not sure why a woman should have control over her own body to the extent that she may cause a parasitical...

    Writer wants to get it right

    ballistics i think i would use another term than 'internal ballistics' when referring to the mechanics involved with the gun's operation. i know that 'ballistics' has become a catch-all term when talking about weapons performance, but i believe the word is primarily used to describe the flight...

    Update/New Info On Atlanta No-Knock Raid Killing of 88/92 YO Woman

    please be aware lots(too many) of cops do need a time out and attitude adjustment, it seems. but please do not ignore the source of much of the evil which has overtaken the justice system, and that is the prosecutors. they are the ones who lobby for and construct the framework in which the cops...

    RIP President Ford.

    A good man not much use for politicians of any stripe here, but i must say that this appeared to be a decent and honorable man. i never from day one understood the nonsense complaining about the "pardon". Ford stepped up and did what the president should have done(as would have Truman)...

    LEO input, recording traffic stops

    recordings i don't in any way wish to be offering legal advice on this matter and am not, nor claim to be, an attorney. i do wonder that if you are recording audio or video or both of public activity without discrimination as to specific incidents, then you are not targetting anyone for...

    SWAT Team overview.

    out with no-knock again, the resistance to no-knock as a common policy of law enforcement must be loud, continuous and firm. no, you can't do that, as you would say to a child who insists upon some behavior which is unacceptable; we don't do such things in this family. armed and armored to the...

    SWAT Team overview.

    no knock and such time to do away with "no knock" warrants-no excuses, rationalizations, or pleadings that the "public safety" requires them. just say no. warrants in general need to be tightened up-can't be issuing them off a postit pad. and, we can do with far fewer swat teams and much less...

    Is the United States doomed... or should it be?

    impending doom greed, gentlemen, will be the reaper's agent. political hagglings are a cover for "i want what i want, and i'll do as much as i can to get it and to feel good about having it". what a load, you say. i ask, why do i see little if no discussion on the moral dimensions of what we...

    Whats my Colt SAA worth? Any tips for maintenance?

    heirlooms if you pass it down to the next guys, and they pass it down, and on and on, what good does it do anyone? this idea of passing down not to be used, only to be gazed upon artifacts, seems like some odd form of trying to take it with you. no evidence that is a viable option for us...
