    Active military, moving to Washington DC area, have questions (areas, guns etc.)

    a little off topic but... everyone is complaining about MD's gun laws. I didn't have any problems buying a shotgun, a couple of rifles (including an SKS), or handguns. When my brother-in-law shot the neighbors cat with a 12 gauge, he got a ticket for animal cruelty and a $50 fine for illegal...

    Barry aims for gun-ban hiatus

    um..I'm a little confused... I read numorous posts about people complaining about how DC residents can't own handguns. Now there is a propossal that will allow them to legally purchase and own handguns, and people are still complaining. Anytime someone purchases a new firearm, they have to...

    What's the easiest firearm you've ever disassembled?

    The easiest to strip, in my opinion, for both field and detailed is a Cobray Mac-11. I think it's as simple as it gets.

    Why are handguns so Expensive?

    I don't think most firearms are expensive. They're half the price of a new tv, and the firearm will last alot longer. I spent $700 on a transmission, and got rid of the car a year or 2 later. My computer is well over $2000, and it became outdated 6 months after I bought it. If you compare what a...

    Railguns Getting Closer

    The naval rail gun was originaly developed for the army, but the Army doesn't have the launch platform. We don't have nuclear powered Abrams (yet). The research and technology was then marketed to the Navy and their nuclear powered ships. In the early '90s, alot of the research was funded by...

    "Get a sword", Jesus?

    Very interesting reading. I just want to bring up somethings about the Spanish Inquisition. A book that wasn't mentioned in this thread is the Malleus Maleficarum (Witch Hammer or Hammer of Witches). This book was #2 in Europe, right after the Bible. This is the book the used by the inquisitors...

    An Unusual Handgun Question.

    The Armat M41A assualt rifle. It takes out Aliens, and is a 10mm. The automatic sentry guns in Aliens was also 10mm. It also appeared in Terminator 2. The human resistance force used it against the machines in the future. For those who think the 10mm is dying: got news for you, the 10mmx24 is...

    Phillipines to arm citizens

    120 years ago people were safer from crime. Even if you were black or chinese, because if you were killed by a white man, it was hardly a crime. If a native american entered a whorehouse or bar and was on the receiving end of gratuitious violence, he wasn't a victim, because beating a native...

    Germany going after Rumsfeld?

    "Wow, are they still p.o.'d about loosing WWII and the Natzi war crimes trials? I don't believe we gassed, shot, raped or starved 6+ million to death at anytime in our history" Maybe not all at one time. But our history isn't that pretty either. African slaves, almost genocide of Native...

    USAF Request Bids on new Handguns

    My vote is for any gun that shoots 10mm. The military usually uses US made fire arms. I think all standard issue weapons are Made in USA. The Beretta's are made in Maryland. Since a 10mm is unlikely, my next choice would be a CZ in a .40 cal. It's the right size, super reliable, and great...

    Guy pulls airsoft pistol on cops, gets shot dead. Yep family is blaming the cops.

    Darwin and Natural Selection got mentioned quite a few times. I also read that the guy had 7 kids. Darwin isn't about intelligence, killing, or being killed. It's about procreation and spreading your genes. The guy passed his genes 7 times. How many who post here have done that? Not me. This...

    Jailed for shooting at private range

    Like Hammerxc just said, "what about threats to shoot/kill?" Forget about the fuzzy bears and wolves. And forget about who owns what property. How would you react if some pissed off guy came up to you and said he was gonna shoot you? The construction worker is just doing his job, earning a...

    Iraq: 14,000 US-supplied weapons missing

    Maybe the weapons are not missing or unaccounted for, but the paperwork is. An Iraqi that got killed by a roadside bomb or by a suicide bomber could of been the courier with all the receipts.

    Doesn't this make your blood boil?

    Maybe the guy really did mean titanium bullets. People buy .50 cals for it's looks and to impress other people. Titanium is anodized to all sorts of colors. What better way to add bling to an already bad-ass gun? Gold highlights might work, but blue, green, and red bullets are just so cool. And...

    Got a question for the smart people

    A firearm designed to shoot shotgun shells is a shotgun. The BATFE ruled that a shotgun with a rifled barrel is still a shotgun, not a rifle. Otherwise, it would be considered a destructive device. I know this doesn't apply to handguns, just pointing out one of the many complexities of firearm laws.

    How would you respond to THIS?

    "Guns don't kill. Bullets do." "A deer may stand in the road. If you hit it with your car, you may be seriously injured or killed. Hunting deer is self defence... an ounce of prevention...." another response: "You bring up a very good point. Let's go to the bar and you can buy me a few...
