    Thanks Montana, we Texans like your idea. We will give it a shot also.

    This sounds excellent! I would love to move to Texas if this passes. I don't mean to seem smarter than anyone else, nor detract from the sheer awesome that this seems to entail, but how will this work exactly? Texas will negate some federal law(s). The federal government could claim supremacy...

    Should Texas Secede? Poll

    I think that Texas v. White would stand today. I think that the Constitutional Compact theory is very much out of the mainstream, and that if this issue came before the Supreme Court, it is my uninformed opinion that they would uphold the Texas v. White opinion. You think differently. I'm down...

    Should Texas Secede? Poll

    My focus would be on the absolute crushing death-blow that Salmon Chase gave to state's-righters; e.g. "The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact..." The revolution bit puts the burden on the people, who surrendered their powers of governance...

    Should Texas Secede? Poll

    Taking the state's rights interpretation of the Constitution in the present age seems a bit radical. It was perfectly logical for John C. Calhoun to do it in the 1820s, but we fought a war, and state sovereignty was soundly defeated. Also if you read that case, it seems to say that secession...

    Owning foreign war guns...

    What about a 1943 bnz Mauser rifle later bought by Israel? They seemed to be alright with the idea, so far as I know. Also, "guns designed to kill Americans" would be, in my mind, incorrect. For every American killed in World War Two, approximately twenty five Soviet soldiers died. That's not...

    Google's Bias Against Guns

    I just did a search for the Brady Campaign and got the same harmful warnings. Also got the same thing for Pandora this morning.

    Hillary Clinton- Sec State?

    How so? "Get informed on issues affecting the right to keep and bear arms. Coordinate activism, debate with allies and opponents. Discuss laws concerning firearm ownership, concealed carry and self-defense." I think Hillary Clinton becoming the Secretary of State is a potential issue for the...

    Should 18 Year Olds Be Allowed to CCW?

    As an 18 year old, and a Marylander, I would appreciate being able to exercise my rights here. But I do see the validity of waiting, as I will be forced to do, since I won't be moving until I am of age anyway.

    The Big Heller Decision Discussion Thread - AFFIRMED 2ND AS INDIVIDUAL RIGHT

    I am pleased with it, in general, but the fact that Scalia can support the definite regulation of arms that are not within the common use, or something to that effect, bothers me. It seems like something of a Catch 22, seeing as how a machine gun is not within the common use, given the price...

    Belt Fed Shotgun

    I was thinking about it, so I know others have thought about it. Anyone know of a belt fed shotgun? I'd be intrigued to see pictures, if such a thing exists. ;)

    Best AK-47 magazine.

    I got mine for $8 out of a bin. Cleaned them up and they work just fine.

    Shotgun Pics!

    Remington Model 31 16GA. Picked it up yesterday at an estate auction. Pardon the graininess. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v701/osamaslice/?action=view&current=2007083.jpg http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v701/osamaslice/?action=view&current=2007088.jpg

    Pistols in Space

    I cannot comment on the American's using guns in space, the Soviets certainly have them. http://www.jamesoberg.com/russiangun_tec.html

    Stun guns in the UK

    Perhaps they should look into weakening their population to the point where they are incapable of punching others.
