    Need camera advice for gun pics

    "I need to buy a digital camera to take some good quality pics of my guns. I wonder if someone could recommend anything?" I have lots of camera gear but for simple shots I'd highly recommend the Canon SD900. It's a high quality (10MP) point and shoot that my local Office Depot has on sale for...

    Rifle Suggestions? Toss 'em at me!

    - Ammo, nothing that is handload only or will become hard to locate due to it's unique nature. - Scopes/Iron Sights, can use either without severe modifications to the rifle (ie drill/tap a Garand is a no no). - Out of the box function, nothing I need to buy then add barrels/bushings/triggers...

    The other end of the spectrum : Switzerland = assault rifle in every home, shooting events every weekend, children are taught firearms safety at a young age. They don't have school shootings and their overall crime rate is very low. I wonder why. Not quite in every home but pretty close. It's...

    Thank you all for your contributions, and especially omahanew for offering his conceptions. Jeez. All I was saying (originally) was that I was pro-gun, just not pro-ALL-guns...

    ...are like most other liberals.... they want to gain power and wealth by playing on other peoples fears and greed. they promise the world and deliver more taxes and onerous inefficient government waste in return. they run and hide from logic, choosing rather mindless rhetoric. they...

    "Our friends, the Canadians, Britons, and Aussies will have tyranny and eventually genocide. That much has been historically proven. " That's nonsense. There's as much chance of that happening as the same happening in the United States. If you want tyranny see the "Patriot" Act.

    "The only type rights you seem to recognize are certain legal ones granted by the government. These are not the rights of which we speak." The "government" in this country is nothing more than the people speaking in concert and if the people, through their representative, decide that one of...

    Drugs and Guns

    "I feel that drugs and alcohol should be treated the same way... restrictions and punishments." Who would you rather deal with? Some stoned out of their mind (and so incapable of much movement) or some drunk with a twelve-pack of Bud in their system?

    You either believe all men are born equally free or you do not. I believe that all men (and women) SHOULD be free but are they? Nope.

    One needn't squabble about the existence of god to accept that some rights are inherent in our existence. The alternative hypothesis is that NO rights are inherent in your existence. Bingo.

    "...since the Big Ban in 1986 (many types of gun were banned and it became a LOT harder to get a gun), gun crime has increased by 1,000%" In 2003/2004 there were a total of 24,070 firearm offences in England and Wales of which 57% (13,822) involved air weapons. That's 10,350 "real" firearm...

    It is, nowadays, practically axiomatic that (a) all politicians are lying thieving scoundrels who will dissemble through their teeth to fool the electorate into voting for them, and (b) the electorate comprises a body of people poorly educated and mis-educated and indoctrinated to the point...

    "confiscation has always led to tyranny or genocide or both" The last time I checked Great Britain wasn't a hot bed of either. Wait for it. What you're essentially saying right now is that Summer does not necessarily lead to fall, and that fall won't necessarily lead to winter. That...

    Rights exist even if there are no laws. Nonsense. No one has a ''right'' to health care. They do in some countries because that's what THEY'VE agreed to.

    "God-given right" is a meaningful concept even if one disputes the existence of God. If one disputes the existence of a God then "God given right" is meaningless. You might just as easily say "Banana Given Right."

    "The Declaration of Independence... contains discrepancies, one of which is the statement "that all men are created equal." Someone of the time could have talked to any one of those "3/5ths" of a person for an alternative point of view." That's not a defect in the Declaration; it's simply an...

    "Bans are not enacted by "citizens" but rather by a stratum of self-appointed nannies masquerading as legislators, arrogantly overriding both the spirit and the letter of the Bill of Rights." It's quite sad how much you distrust your fellow citizens because they are, after all, the people...
