    Unintended Consequences

    From the bits and parts I've read, it's as distasteful as The Turner Diaries and I can't imagine John Ross' ATF inspections (he is an FFL, right?) aren't a bit awkward. Not my cup of tea.

    Obama not reinstating AWB

    Maybe spending time in London helped convince someone high up that taking away all these gun-things isn't such a great idea and that London kinda sucks. Either way, I hope he's serious. More cops, enforcing existing laws, isn't that something EVERYONE can agree with? Remember, though they're...

    Considering a FAL. Talk me out of it.

    I like military semi-autos (small, complex machines make my inner scientist coo with glee) very much. I only own a WASR-10 (which I love like hell). I've wanted to get into longer distance shooting, and I'm told, among other things, that FALs are nearly as reliable as AKs and highly accurate...

    Drawing attention for the sake of confrontation

    No open carry in FL. I don't really mind. I don't like open carry and it's not high on my list of "gun rights we need to secure right the hell now". I think the right to concealed carry and to simply own them is what we need to focus on. That said, I support your right to do it. I simply...

    Visiting Houston, driving from Florida.

    Since Florida is basically the Gunshine state, it's a rare day that I don't have my WASR-10 in the seat next to me. Yes, I'm a bloody poor college student, it's my only gun, I can't afford another, and I'm NOT TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD so don't tell me to buy a pistol, because I can't. Sorry for the...

    Xenophobia is the root of hoplophobia.

    Tennesseean: They'll say that until they have a Japanese person in front of them, one whose English is hard to understand, who asks for the salt after the meal, etc. Their idealized versions of their favorite cultures do not reflect reality (big surprise, I know.). 4Freedom: "There are many...

    Xenophobia is the root of hoplophobia.

    Today, your average anti-gun American might regard a foreigner as stupid; his accent makes him hard to talk to. His clothing is strange. His customs are bizarre (what's that he's drinking? is it even legal?). And he regards a drawling southerner with the same xenophobia. This man's clothes are...

    It's time to stop saying "Assault Weapon"

    Can I stop calling them "High capacity magazines"? I usually call them "Adequate capacity".

    "Assault weapons were designed for trench warfare."

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGpykAX1fo They're also attractive to those of us bent on mass murder. The other side gets to resort to absolute fabrications. Why can't we lie, remind me? "Guns are made of flowers and they shoot rainbows." would sound good.

    What is the most powerful caliber legally available?

    .950? Please, give me a break, 20mm is where it's at. http://www.anzioironworks.com/MAG-FED-20MM-RIFLE.htm What is this .950 of which you speak?

    Grenade launchers, machine guns, C-4, weapons cache stuns agents

    In addition to this, I'd like to point out that high explosives are a generally poor idea for close-quarters combat. He probably didn't keep them around for home defense.

    Grenade launchers, machine guns, C-4, weapons cache stuns agents

    While I usually side with a fellow gun nut, let's not forget that it seems likely that this guy was taking guns out of the hands of our soldiers. IF he didn't steal them, IF they were never stolen in the first place (maybe he somehow ordered them, I don't know), THEN I don't have an ethical...

    Wife REALLY wants an AK-47 - advice?

    I'm not huge and I can tell you that the AK fits me perfectly. It truly is one-size-fits-all. She will love it.

    For the nerds: If guns were computers...

    The AK would be the Mac of guns. Functions flawlessly, but by and large utterly incompatible with all other computers (OS X can't mount an NFS share. You figure that one out.). It can be used by everyone, even grandma, but some nerds know exactly how it works. Mostly immune to malfunction, and...

    What would the legal status of this weapon be?

    http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg156-e.htm It is actually a perfectly silent pistol. No suppressor required. http://world.guns.ru/ammo/a_sp-3-1.jpg This is what it fires. You can see how it works, how the piston violently jumps forward in the case and strikes the actual bullet itself. The...

    Two more for the gun culture (first time shooters)

    That was an unreasonably poetic mode of explaining it, Mello.

    AK FCG group help: Stuck hammer axis pin.

    I succeeded with the hammer axis pin, the shepherd's hook groove was stuck. The stock is swelled and won't come out. I malleted it, even. Anyway, I have another problem. I can't get the firing pin retaining pin back in (the straight one in the bolt). Is there a trick to it, or do I need to...

    AK FCG group help: Stuck hammer axis pin.

    I cannot seem to get the hammer axis pin either completely out or back in. It's backed about a millimeter out and I can just barely see the bottom of the head thereof. The hammer tilts and moves freely, but I cannot get the pin to go all the way back in or come all the way out. Any ideas? I...

    Every liberal on my college campus seems to be pro-gun.

    HDon: But they're not contradictory. They're liberals. They don't believe in gun control. Therefore, they are true liberals. Res ipsa loquitor.
