    Movie Intended to Make NRA "wish they weren't alive"

    The NRA has been around - providing firearms training to police, civilians, youth and military - for almost as long as some Civil War widows; or over 150 years ! The "Hollyweird" set still lives in the meme they create public opinion. I suspect this proposed "Ship of Fools" will founder on...

    3d printing capabilities

    I suspect the issue of "printed guns" (of any materials) is far more a "tempest in a teapot", than functional reality. Can it be done ? I'm sure it can, albeit most likely not in form/function we commonly associate with firearms. We're I'd to pursue this, offhand I'd opt for a "pepperbox"...

    A little sympathy for New Yorkers: John Stossel tries to get a carry permit in NYC

    I'd opine Mr. Stossel didn't kiss the right toukuses ! Johnny Carson had one ! So did Jimmy Breslin ! And doubtless a host of other Broadway and tabloid luminaries ! >MW

    Jesse James Firearms

    I wish JJ a lot of luck ! He's going to need it ! Building functional, reliable and durable firearms ( where .0001" is a significant number") is a far cry from bikes where +/- .003" is tolerable ! >MW

    how close was the bullet?

    JMO, but if you can "hear the bullet" you're safe ! Its already passed you ! >MW

    Emily Miller on Morning Joe

    My impression was Ms. Miller fell into the deliberately laid trap of being "tag -teamed" by her inquisitors ! In consequence her replies were hurried and lacked emotional appeal ! Far better had she "seized the reins" and addressed every "question" on a point-by- point basis ! Given...

    Closure of Doe Run Lead Smelter -- Firearms Context

    A lot of knowledgable folks also select virgin lead batteries for their vehicles/RV's . Just as do the tele-com folks and various critical care facilities across the nation. IOW this ain't just another "aw-shucks" EPA moment ! Its going to hurt ! Deeply ! (You likely just won't know about...

    Is majoring in Mechanical Engineering in attempt to design firearms unrealistic?

    Think far outside the box young man if that's your goal ! All of our present firearms are based upon technology dating back centuries . IMHO the "key" is propellant(s). Find a way(s) to defeat, (or significantly ameliorate) the current logistical stalemate and your fortune is assured ! >MW

    De-Lead soap?

    FWIW any good soap is a surfactant and will work to float surface contamination away in the rinse water. Its up to the user to supply the necessary physical scrubbing action to loosen contamination particles from the skin. OTOH, as note4d elsewhere, why not use latex/nitrile gloves as a...

    50+ Year Wait For This Gun

    A "checklist !!! " ? Those were for sissies ! (Or at least Hollywood would have us believe.) Your Dah was one hell of a man ! (And a lucky one if he completed his ETO tour.) I'm grateful for his service !! You certainly have two excellent "collectibles" to enjoy. Thanks for sharing ! >MW

    Ted Nugent's wife arrested at airport with gun

    I'll bet some serious money Ms. Nugent is going to be targeted ! If a non-entity like George Zimmerman can evoke the "wrath of Obama, just think what political hay he can make persecuting the spouse of one of his most vocal critics (and NRA Director) Ted Nugent. But look for all of it to be...

    Opinions please: Highest quality bulk .22lr ammo?

    CZ, Don't quite get your "regionalization" critique of Remington ammo. I'm under the impression its all made in the same place, Loanoak Arkansas. >MW

    The Great Gun Hypocrisy

    Now if you really, really, want to "blow your mind" read Locke and Montiesque . Both are seminal thinkers that were the progenitors of our constitution. >MW

    Saving or Protecting Guns From A House Fire?

    Poster: IMNEO you can expect wood stocks, optics, electronics to be toast ! But the base gun may be salvageable if gotten to quickly enough ! But if water has hit them all bets are off ! Fire Depts use some nasty additives to suppress fire these days ! You can find a variety of "tempil...

    Austrailan Police Produce Anti-3D Printed Pistol Video

    Why would I spend money to build a POS plastic handgun when, "for a few bucks more" (in readily available tools), I could make much better metal ones ? Long guns are even easier !

    another .22 LR question

    Not an "expert", but have shot a lot of critters with .22RF over many years. They all died. The "double deuce" uses a heeled bullet (IOW it has a small cupped tit projecting from the back of the bullet which is gripped by the case.) which means its a soft lead projectile. Check some of the...

    Daniele Perazzi taken into custody

    Seems like "stupidity" isn't exclusively a job skill of the ATF or the Feds, et al. its spreading downward to state government at the behest of the "progs". >MW

    The 270 has to be worthless!

    Interesting to see so many "negative vibes" on a caliber that has a long and distinguished pedigree ! The .270 was a favorite of the likes of Cooper, Rourak, Bell and others with African experience. Opinions are like nether orifices; we all got one. Personally, I'll take the word of the...

    What constitutes an Arsenal?

    Strange how PK influence has altered the "terms of debate" ! Traditionally, an "arsenal" has been a site where arms, (not necessarily firearms), have been crafted and stored. Numbers, size, style never figure into it ! With the advent of firearms stores of powder and canon/shot were included...
