http://www.columbuscitycouncil.org/calltheroll/pdf/200502calltheroll.pdf Ahahaha, oh man, so now an assault weapon is one that fires a round that can pierce a vest? Don't these people understand that they've got it backwards? It was only recently that vests could consistently stop any...

I think you hit the nail on the head here. There is more to be gained by making up a new crusade to fight than admitting your basic cause for existence is eroding through natural progress. Fear is too good a motivator for politicians to use against voters for them to stop. I also think, at...

I thought it was more anti-China than anti-military weapons; like Norinco basically being an arm of the Chinese military.

I picked one up from SOG (stamped "FPK Dragunov") about a month and a half or so back, and like it. I haven't been able to take it to an outdoor range yet (stupid finals and Cleveland weather), but putting a few rounds through it at an indoor range impressed me (as much as such a test could...

They might not be that wrong in this case. I wouldn't be suprised if a terrorist organization would have to be declared as such first (if nothing more to differentiate between aiding terrorists versus aiding paramilitary or revolutionary groups), so being specific as to the organization may be...

Poor reporting standards, or a pun bordering on relevance? Really though, I don't expect less. Something about schools and kids amplifies right-stripping behavior, which is really sad when you think about it. God forbid they try to explain something, like your own viewpoint (which I'm sure...

I live near Cleveland, and most cities/towns here have their own ordinances; it really depends on which township you end up in (suburbs seem to have looser laws than their major urban counterparts, at least here in the Cleveland area). According to http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/Default.aspx#...

Suddenly Wickard v. Filburn and its progeny aren't looking so hot, are they? Damn hypocrits, suddenly they aren't calling the shots and now states' rights is no longer to be maligned as a code word for racists. And personally, this claim about disparity of spending is really starting to...

I've found an interesting* argument come up when people at my law school find out my position on guns. A few people will admit that while its okay for me to have guns (because I'm not a threatening minority, I guess), there are those it is "obviously" not okay for, and therefore I have a duty...

The only thing I can say about my M/N 91-30 is that its heavy. And is nearly as tall as I am with the bayonet. But yeah, I own it because its a great, well-preserved piece of history, not because its particularly practical. And the weight, solidity of the gun- it just feels mean, and that...

I seriously am wondering what exact part of the "two hundred years" of tort law this Bill would overturn as DeWine states. I don't remember recovery possible from end-party misuse; maybe he took a different tort class then I did.

I have to agree with Lone_Gunman; at worst, he was appealing to the California constituency with a cause that isn't nearly as fashionable to them, yet pretty much the exact same thing. It demonstrates what a dangerous precedent Newsom is creating in language that Californians can understand...

Just to comment on the direction of your presentation in general: do you think this is the right way to go? Unless you are going to refute the underlying premises (such as the danger posed to LEOs, etc. by assault weapons, both real and imagined), simply demonstrating its ineffectiveness based...

I would agree, except for the "collective right" BS they pimp on their website: http://www.aclu.org/PolicePractices/PolicePractices.cfm?ID=9621&c=25 Thats not "gun neutral" or "leaving it to other, better funded rights organizations" as many of their fanboys say; thats anti-gun propaganda, and...

Hey its the NRA, "As always". What a petty, stupid side comment to include in a piece that is supposed to be masquerading as journalism.

Disparate impact alone doesn't prove discrimination in the courts, especially if they can make a public policy argument to overcome the heightened review. Generally, if the discimination is not on its face based on the race/gender/disability/some other protected classification, it is hard to...

The best thing about this was the graphic used in the print version of the story (these aren't mine, but I did find it pretty funny; removed the image tags): gogo responsible journalism when it comes to firearms.

For some reason I always assumed bear would taste bad.

Man, so many other forums I visit have people towing that "sensible" line its ridiculous. They have no idea what they are talking about, and if anyone posed "sensible" free speech or abortion laws of similar calibre they would be up in arms (which, ironically, they wouldn't have if they had...

I'm pro-CCW, but I don't think thats entirely valid- I would be more concerned about anti-gun groups would use the info to harrass permit holders; I wonder how these people would feel if (hypothetically) a state-run monopoly abortion clinic was forced to release its lists of users.
