    Gun laws around the world.

    Of greater importance than the law itself is the way it is executed in the canton of residence. For example, I live in St. Gallen (on the border to Germany, very beautiful) and never had any problems getting my permits, even for silencers. This is because of very reasonable old-school people in...

    Attempting to Disarm Recently Armed Citizens

    Considering the point of sale, I think the good old lady actually procured a 12.7 x 108 gun. Probably a DShK variant. Its the Warsaw Pact equivalent to the BMG and was produced in bulk worldwide. Hope granny has some upper body strength or a tripod. Power to the people!

    Proposed German gun law

    I spent a long time in Germany. The cultural consesus is that the Germans as a people, very unlike the French or Italians, are totally enamored to the state. The state and its government is the ultimate wishing well and is expected to bring utopia into existence by legislative means and...

    Help me understand the reasoning behind disaramament.

    Gun control activism is no national phenomenon that just happens to coincide in several countries simultanously. Civilian disarmament is a centally administered process of supranational institutions (UN-ODA), national governments and NGOs. The binding element of all participating state and...

    What's the deal with small calibers?

    The classic pocket pistols of the early 20th century (Colt, FN, Walther PPK, etc...) were simple blowback constructions. While locking pistols like the Luger, C96 or 1911 were available, they were prohibitively expensive compared to contemporary purchasing power. Blowback pistols are only locked...

    Russia Complains About 'Counterfeit' Kalashnikov Rifles

    Patents: WTO TRIPS Agreement states minimum of 20 years. I do not know if Pakistan signed it, but in case it would be a moot point. The AK and RPG design is free by any IP standard. But this wont keep the Ivans from trying...

    Other Gun Friendly Countries?

    Most gun friedly nations: Jemen Somaliland (outside of Hargeisa) Somalia I have spent some time in all three countries. The ultimate freedom on personal ordinance exists only in what is left of Somalia, but then again, firearms are a necessity of life down there. Anything goes in this...

    So..How much ammo is enough?

    I keep an inventory of about 1000 rounds for most guns I own and replace as I use. Dont forget storage conditions. Light lubrication (gun grease), seal in plastic against moisture, and lock it away somewhere cool. Be especially mindful of shotgun ammo.

    The UN's Gun Control Playbook

    If you think about it, it comes to no surprise that the SALW agenda enjoys the enthusiastic support of dictators, kleptocrats and authoritarian governments. But what do you expect of the U.N. quasi-legislative body, where government delegates debate the crucial necessity of the state "monopoly...

    What's your bet that guns will be cheap...

    My shot at the development of prices (intermediate, 2-3 years): 1. Assuming that the increased demand for firearms and ammunition remains indeed sustainable within the scope of observation. Reasons may vary, from the anticipation of forseeable legislative measures, economic uncertainty...
