Yeah, 'cause New York City didn't exist in 1789, and Philadelphia didn't exist, and neither did Boston, Concord, Baltimore, Annapolis, Fairfax, Richmond, Charlotte, Charleston, Savanna, et cetera. AFAIK none of these cities passed non-race based gun control measures prior to the 20th century...

So, there you go, Hoplo... find out what an "antique firearm" is and go with that.

There's the rub. As you fellow Virginians probably know, we've had a problem with incorrect paperwork getting Virginia gun dealers into trouble they didn't deserve. Things being the way they are, as crazy as they are, I wouldn't count on the dealer taking the state up on its offer to allow him...

I really like the finished look... but for the right side of the buttstock crossbar. It keeps poking me in the eye. Everything else is so well fit and trimmed, I don't think the ragged edge belongs. 'Course, I'm the kind of guy who would have looked at this as an excuse to go buy a dado...

I've often said before that there are three types of people in the gun argument. A small minority of well-researched pro-rights pro-gun types, a small minority semi-researched emotional anti-gun grabbers, and the vast majority of people who just haven't put any thought into the issue. If you...

billwiese, I fully realize I have no more business getting involved than you do in Virginia politics, and I have stated as much in the past - you stay out of my state, and I stay out of yours.... ....but I also need to let you know that I too see clearly what others here do not. I think most...

Fine and dandy? Here's what they've done recently.... THEY SETTLED WITH NEW ORLEANS. They had a black-and-white case complete with video footage of a 70 year old woman getting tackled by the SWAT team, an opportunity to press Katrina as a civil rights violation, an opportunity to point...

Hit it. But the 'net polls are always in our favor. Would you read a book co-authored by William Shakespeare and 50 cent?

Poppycock. Examine the results. Obama won because people voted for him. McCain lost because his strategy was to get people to vote against Obama, as opposed to getting people to vote for McCain. The NRA has also been using this same strategy ever since I've been paying attention. Don't...

I'd cast them, but that's because I already have casting equipment - not for bullets, for sand casting. small quantity petrobond large steel spoon propane torch old pewter mug from salvation army (not aluminum) or plumbing solder mold made of two pieces of 4-5" PVC pipe baby powder With that...

The bad guys are going to have complete control of the federal government in under three months. It'll take some time for a bill to get produced and passed, but then again, maybe it won't. That bailout package got passed really fast with 100-1 opposition to it. We're at the point where the...

I second fbi.gov - last year I did some serious picking through the data they supplied through 2005 with state breakdowns of population and murders, along with murder weapon (handgun, rifle, knife, etc). The only problem with the fbi data is that it shows what you'd expect in certain strict gun...

Well, he'd win in THIS legal forum... :D In a discussion of the nature of rights, these four qualities are completely irrelevant. Law abiding - if the law abiding are the only people who have rights, why are so many rights about how to treat lawbreakers? Tax paying - if you don't pay taxes...

I ended up in a pretty deep argument recently with my parents and my father-in-law and his wife at the same time about a non-gun related topic. The four of them in the course of the conversation actually supported my position with their examples... but still stuck to their guns (pun initially...

Here's the link, be prepared to read for several hours as this site is seriously fun. http://www.theboxotruth.com/

Whatever people. I already sent my message to the NRA when I didn't re-up. And if the NRA really cared about "regular" guns, they wouldn't have settled with New Orleans. They could have had Nagin eating out a dumpster by now. They could have made a point, that this is a civil right, that the...

Remember that you're allowed to dip back farther than the couple years that the periodicals at the local library are going to go. It's perfectly acceptable - and incredibly relevant - to go back 220 years and find out what the people who ostensibly started this argument had to say about it...

The email I got from Brownells demonstrates this I think. It told me to vote for Gilmore (R) for Senate, not Warner (D), despite the fact that both of them have NRA Ratings of A. The gun issue is not necessarily an (R) issue.

Couple points for the grabber lady... First, I would drop the self-defense argument. Yes, guns were designed to kill. When our overlords start building the people ovens, what do we do? If we can't kill them, then we can't stop abuses of government. Sad, but true. I'll leave it to you to...

Shopped!
