East Germany and the Soviets exported a lot of ex-3rd Reich rifles after the war.

Unfortunately this issue is far less romantic and far more complex. A lot of these vigilantes go far beyond passive patrols and deterrence, and will actively abduct, torture and even kill people whom they net in their road blocks. More vexing is that "vigilante groups" and "criminal cartels"...

Maybe but even nifty internet voodoo probably won't change that situation. I agree it could be useful to narrow stores down, but I guess it would only work if that info updated fairly regularly. Though the idea that store is stocking products and then obstructing people from buying said product...

Sounds like they're prosecuting a thought crime here.

Probably easier to just ask the employees?

This is just me but... Innocent or guilty? Evidence? I don't care. That isn't my problem. She'd still get a visit from the police. If one of my guns goes missing ... and firearms aren't like car keys or TV remotes to me ... and there is a possibility that a certain someone took it, then that...

Border agents will often do aggressive questioning like that so they can study your responses. Pretty typical, at least for USCBP. Doing it after they punch in your info is just another tactic I suppose. If you are breaking the law then they want you to think that they got you pegged so you'll...

Gun control enforcement is practically nonexistent in the rural areas of Mexico. Where I live it is common to see cartel members going about their errands carrying full-sized handguns on their hip, just a block or two away from police patrols. Civilians often carry too but never openly...

Very puzzling indeed. If he was breaking federal law then acting belligerent towards someone who just trying to be helpful doesn't strike me as a wise thing to do. Someone else might have mentioned this to security and the rest of his day would have been nothing but sunshine I bet.

Seems like it's cheaper and safer for extremists to kill Americans and allies abroad where things are much more foggy and they're on home turf. Of course if extremists managed to launch a Mumbai-style attack on US soil then I don't doubt they'd kill a lot of people and cause a ton of havoc...

Basically their excuse is that they disagree with those rulings so they're going to pretend that they don't exist and continue to use their own interpretation of the 2A (which I believe is more inline with Miller v US).

To keep it somewhat on topic... Pancho Villa's raid suffered in part due to armed resistance from civilians. If I remember correctly the first casualties were two Villistas who were shot dead by civilians as they made there way with a hostage to loot a gun store who's owner had ripped Villa off...

I travel with gun-related reading material. It's never been a problem for me, even in Mexico with the gun smuggling situation.

I think one of the reasons they were not given more modern equipment was because the CIA wanted to conceal it's involvement. They wanted Bay of Pigs to look like a completely independent Cuban operation. American WWII-issue stuff was everywhere and it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch...

M1 Rifles, M1 Carbines, M1941 Rifles/light machine guns, M1911s, Bazookas, 75mm Recoiless Rifles, M41 Tanks, B26 Bombers. This just what I can remember from seeing a detailed list and invetory of all the equipment that Brigade 2506 and other Free Cuban forces took with them during the invasion.

Pirates and mutinies :-p

I know muzzle-loaders in the old days could be unloaded with a special ramrod with a cork screw or barbed prong at the end. Of course you had to douse the gun in water to drown the powder for obvious reasons. I guess the easiest way would be to just shoot it.

Yeah but squirrels spend a lot of time on the ground too.

Seems like the people who responded to your thread would rather rage about illegal immigrants than actually express a relevant and intelligent opinion. They'd probably feel more comfortable posting on stormfront than a gun rights board.

Never fired one. It's just what I've read about how Utah does it.
