Wow, we could really do with more people like him. G-d bless him for his generosity. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080526/ap_on_re_us/las_vegas_leave_3

My unedited email to my congressman, late night mistakes and all :) His reply, almost 2 months later Have you done your part yet?

The above quote from an email - our "friends* at the Brady Center that I received this afternoon. The problem that the Brady Center has is not that there are too few gun control laws, because let's face it, if 20,000 plus isn't enough for them, then there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that...

Insufficient training? Standards too low for acceptable candidates? What exactly is going on over here? Especially when one considers that very few of these, if any, are due to a weapon malfunction. Link below...

I'm just curious from all our legal and knowledgeable members here - so what happens if the USSC rules that 2A is an individual right? More specifically, what happens to all those decisions handed down by our activist judges on the 9th circuit et al, whose reasoning hinged on the 2A being a...

Welcome to my small non-scientific test of non-toxic solvents. Specifically, non-toxic gun cleaners and copper solvents. I did quite a bit of research and reading about these solvents, mostly here on THR and the links that some helpfully provided, because I was keen to switch to something that...

For those of you who keep on insisting that the NRA is useless, ummm, try doing this on your own and with your own funds too! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071226/ap_on_re_us/katrina_confiscated_guns;_ylt=AjkxzPoYEASyKHH06P0QjO8DW7oF Gun seized after Katrina? NRA wants you By MICHAEL...

I guess the competition to see which rifle is going to be selected as the replacement for the M16/M4 should be finished by now, so which one won the competition? The HK 416 or the FN SCAR? I won't mention HK's other entry, you know, the one that melts :eek: If it's not over yet, does anybody...

My first post after joining this fun forum was about the NRA - see the link below... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=287714 Well, today I finally did it and sent in my payment. On the downside I know that now I will probably get a lot of extra junk mail. On the upside...well...

I just had a look at some recently posted video of the FN SCAR in action. Maybe it's just me, but the HK416 appears to have much less recoil than the FN SCAR-L. Check out the videos yourself and see what you think. Here's the video for the HK416...

Short poll on who your preferred supplier is for gun cleaning kits, solvents/lubricants and general firearm accessories. Brownells, Midway or other. It would be greatly appreciated by me, and I hope that others would find this info useful too, to rate them on speed of shipping, reasonable...

I know that someone posted a query the other day about Austrian firearms manufacturers, but I want to know about Steyr specifically. I've also read a few comments that the Australian made AUGs are not up to the same standards as the Austrian made ones. So what is the quality of the...

I have been thinking about what to say in my email to Gov Schwartzenegger. I was one of the volunteers who helped to get him elected. From what I've read about him when he was in the movie business, you had one minute to sell him on a script or project etc. If you couldn't make your point in...

For those of you who are thinking about your options for low-light/night-sights, here's some excellent info on the difference between Tritium (H3) vs Super Luminova (SL). Repairing watches is my business, so I'm very familiar with the characteristics of both. FYI SL, the brightest...

When the body is quiet, the mind should not be at a standstill; when the body is moving vigorously, the mind should be serene. The mind should not be dragged by the body. The body should not be dragged by the mind. Always, even when taking a position cautiously, move the body positively. In...

Seeing as I was born in South Africa, I don't have the understanding of the Constitution that our educated Americans have - most politicians excepted of course. But having lived here for the past 28 years I do have a basic grasp of what it's all about. The one thing, besides the Second...

My son and I shot a few hundred rounds at the LAX Firing Range this afternoon. My Walther P99QA now has over 500 rounds through it with nary a hiccup - just how I like it. I installed a lower front site last time to raise the point of impact, but it's still a few inches too low. I think that...

Which one do you like the best and why? I must say that I'm partial to the bullpup designs because of size and weight considerations. Although I have shot a few assault rifles on full auto, I've never had the opportunity to shoot a bullpup, auto or otherwise.

About 10 years ago I used to go shooting at a range that was only a couple of miles east of downtown LA. I haven't been there since because now I work on the Westside. I think that it was just off 6th street. Does anybody know the name of that range and if they're still in business, or have a...

One of the posters on another forum (scubadiving.com) posted the link to this story. He's a recently retired professor from North Dakota State University in Fargo and this guy was/is one of his students. Quite a bit more info than what I read about it on a few other news sites. Guys like this...
