    Ever had an MG runaway?

    Had an early pre ban open bolt model Cobray M11 years ago. It was semi but pretty worn. It would occasionally slip off a two or three round burst which got more common the more it was shot. It was amusing to me and friends at first as we were plinking but realized it was dangerous as those mini...

    Pop Vox invitation to weigh in on Executive Action

    This is why I maintain a separate email account for general online crap. All the crap collects in there that I can just delete en masse and they don't get my official email.

    Valuable Video - Magazine Capacity Myth

    Observation not mentioned why the ban would penalize lawful self defense and not the mass murderer. A mass murderer has the benefit of planning and preparation. This video shows that yes he can do the same relative damage whether with a couple standard capacity mags, a couple more reduced...

    Universal Background Checks

    In reading all the for/against arguments here I'm not convinced that a UBC is an infringement of anyone's right. Why is such a requirement for an individual sale onerous but a dealer sale not? Is anyone suggesting that a dealer NICS check is an infringement of your right? Why the inconsistency...

    What is a "Straw Purchase?" (see post 23)

    I know I'm going to catch it from some here but after reading through all of this I'm not buying it. Too many vagaries of intention and too many ways to fall afoul of the law or skirt it for reasons benign or malicious. Call me what you like but I think this is one area I can support the antis...

    Second Amendment Foundation Sue NY

    I don't know if that is correct. From what can be known of the new law that provision of loading magazines with only 7 rounds is an interim measure for a year. It was clearly stated that all magazines that can accept more than 7 rounds must be sold out of state within one year. Either way beyond...

    Will the new NY law be repealed by the Courts?

    While chit chat about other states is a pleasant diversion I am very concerned about the topic of this thread. If this is being discussed or considered seriously anywhere please direct me there. I am a licensed NYC pistol owner. My P226 with NYC compliant 10rd magazines is now an assault weapon...

    Second Amendment Foundation Sue NY

    If this is being discussed or considered please direct me there. I am a licensed NYC pistol owner. My P226 with NYC compliant 10rd magazines is now an assault weapon. I think my line in the sand has just been crossed. I've never so much as had a jaywalking ticket in my life but I am willing to...

    New York Senate passes increased assault weapons ban

    I don't think there is a bright side to this but... if we want to look at this differently then it's possible this law could become ammunition for a court challenge. I'm a NYC legally licensed pistol owner. I have a P226. The standard capacity is 15 rounds. A no-no by city licensing...

    Wanye is out of his mind

    Interesting how the idea that violence in video games and entertainment as a contributor of violent crime gets immediately shunted to X number of books and studies that say otherwise while books & studies that dispel guns as the source of violence is ignored. Hmmmm?

    We are going to have to give up something

    My apologies to wannabeagunsmith and the board here then. I read him wrong on his statement. Yes I agree the gun free zones are a fantasy notion. If they really want them to be that then a sign and a law will not make them so. If you want to enforce a gun free zone as you would a court house or...

    *** 10-round magazine limit argument ***

    It is arbitrary and ridiculous. As a law abiding NYC permit holder I am subject to this already. Both a friend and I shoot Sig P226's with 10rd reduced cap magazines. Shuttling back and forth from range point to lounge to refill magazines is disruptive to our range sessions and to other members...

    We are going to have to give up something

    wannabeagusmith- Are you saying they were asking for this? Really? I have an acquaintance who's daughters went to that school and lost their friends. He is very pro RKBA but were you to say that in his presence you wouldn't be standing before the last word left your mouth. Not the high road by a...

    We are going to have to give up something

    We can dig in our heels and throw all the logic and understanding of firearms and national history at them that we want. Logic and facts are great but they don't really work in politics. Writing your representatives, contributing to advocacy groups, hitting polls, and adding your principled...

    Idea regarding "Gun-Control".

    Not a regular poster here. I've been a member but only check in from time to time read rather than chat. That said I'm not a troll but come here now to try and enter the "high road" discussion regarding the issues and events at hand after reading and seeing so much ignorance and fear being...

    SCOTUS Decision Reversal History?

    "We are a long, long way from a meaningful Second Ammendment. Hopefully, it is the "beginning of the end" for gun bans. It will take a lot of work and money though." The good news from Heller and McDonald is that we are at the end of the end of the debate over individual right. Wasn't it just...

    How to Answer this Anti Point?

    McDonald and Heller effectively killed the argument of collective right and established that self protection and having the means to do so is a protected right under the 2nd. So any argument about hunting and sporting purposes should be immediately pointed out as invalid. One can still try...

    Assault Weapons

    "The only reason you even hear about them is that the media hyperventilates over each and every one of those murders that were committed with a evil black rifle, much the way shark attacks are blown way out of proportion." Very good point. I'll file that as another humorous way to deflate...

    Assault Weapons

    Living in one of the most firearm ignorant communities (NYC) it's my ever present responsibility to help educate people I enter discussions with if the topic ever involves firearms. Just as I would have difficulty defining a quasar, from a red giant, from a white dwarf when looking through a...
