    Green Tip and the Overton Window

    So true. I see immigrants/foreigners at the range(s) I go to... nearly every time I go. I occasionally go shooting with a Chinese national (software developer). In her country, recreational shooting is where you go to a range and they give you ONE .22lr bullet and armed military watch you...

    Is Palmetto State Armory legitimate?

    Yes, they are legit. I have ordered many things from them, including two FN barreled uppers. I have nearly always waited a little longer than I should for an order, but they always come through. Over at arfcom (you figure it out), you will see loads and loads of complaints about shipping in...

    Has the 12 gauge lost popularity as a HD gun over the past few years

    This. Lets face it, how many times can you talk up a Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88? Yeah, they try to push the "tactical shotgun", but in the end any old version of the gun will do, and a shorter barrel to put on your 20-year-old turkey gun costs just $100.

    Green Tip and the Overton Window

    This ruling brought us a new front: the fight against *any* amount of steel in bullets. In case anyone just noticed, we now have a fight on two fronts: one against lead and one against steel.

    Is Rock Island/Armscor doing it right?

    My RIA 1911 tactical is my favorite handgun. It's the real deal. edit: the only thing I have against RIA is that , sometime after I purchased mine, that put that big ugly "Rock Island Armory" in white on the parkerized slide. It looks too much like a sticker.

    Anyone else soured on .22lr?

    This. Not soured on .22, but this .

    Are gun owners getting more senseless, negligent, or is the media covering guns more?

    "The other day it was the child in Alaska who was shot when his mother's .357 revolver fell from her holster onto the hammer " You answered your own question. Since when is an accidental non-lethal child shooting in Alaska major news around the country? It's there because of someone's...

    Be a "hoarder" with me!

    People posting their ammo hoa... supply.... is a good thing. It reminds us that if you think ahead, you will not be caught in the next shortage. During times of plenty, why post? You assume that everyone how gives a darned about shooting is doing the same thing. I assume that RIGHT NOW...

    Build a complete AR-15 (including rear sight and magazine) for $386.21 shipped.

    Personally, I agree with the $800 ballpark. I have put together a couple of what I would consider to be bare-minimum quality ARs. That means FN barrels, carpenter 158 bolt, a rear sight, PSA LBK, anyone's $60 lower. Mine came in at $625 and $675. Add a $100ish basic red dot, and you get right...

    almost 3k on a rifle setup am I crazy?

    Some people would spend $3000 on a doll or a set of wheels (not a car... just the wheels). I never question what other people spend their money on... that is an activity for liberals. I ride bicycles, and the EXACT same question comes up with respect to bicycles (am I crazy for buying this $3000...

    We warned about the slippery slope...first guns, then ammo, now this.......

    You joke, but that really is the liberal nirvana they are trying to achieve.

    Be a "hoarder" with me!

    Now see, when you purchased that, it was plentiful and stocking up was just "stocking up". It only became "hoarding" when retail supply plummeted and the unprepared-and-envious view your "stock" as a "hoard". The only thing that changed was the retail supply.

    Be a "hoarder" with me!

    In the first shortage... 6 years ago?... I was caught flatfooted on reloading supplies. In the second shortage, I had plenty of reloading supplies (powder and primers), but was caught without .22lr ammo/ sufficient magazines for each gun/bullets. Call it hoarding if you want to, but I am...

    NYT article: "Concealed Carry's Body Count"

    LOL. If that were the case, the country would be fiscal Republicans, and the US would not be in $18 Trillion of debt.

    How much did you lose in the "panic season"?

    I lost nothing... nada. I bought nothing at inflated prices during the panic. I am doing all my buying of mags and ammo now... prices might never be greater. I managed to get ONE brick of .22lr last years and ONE brick of .22lr this year. So, instead of shooting thousands of .22lr per...

    22 Kills More People a Year Than Any Other Caliber

    I could see where 22lr might have been a predominant killing caliber decades and decades ago. I think probably that what once was truth is now folklore.

    "NO RELOADS!" at new gun range... really?

    That's me, too Welding Rod. I'd rather spend 20 more minutes to drive to my outdoor DNR Range than spend time in indoors/bad artificial lighting/confined quarters

    .22lr MEGATHREAD

    The few times that I am able to stop by Walmart when they are due to put stuff out (I work for a living), this has been the case. Anyone who doesn't believe it can simply go by my Walmart any morning around 7am and see for yourself. As a side note, I managed to purchase my first brick of...
