Zero tolerance for this clown? If he was in grade school, he'd be suspended. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/04/bad_op tics_for_gun_control_advocates.html I forgot, he's "down with the struggle", so can do anything with the state-controlled press' blessing. | ||

So here you are reading the Second Amendment thread. I'm guessing that your presence here means you are not on "that other side". That means I'm not posting this to sway progressives in their views. I don't really know that I can sway anyone's view much. I did run across a very good read though. It's a bit long, and covers a good deal of territory, but I can't find much I disagree with.

That shit pisses me off ... Especially the confiscated and destroyed part. I don't know how any honest conservative can think of voting for Christy. NJ is his state and he allows is and many other things to go on that would turn the stomach of any reasonable conservative. | ||

Seeing that at one point I had ALL my guns on my back going from California to NY, that would not "fly" with me. BTW, I did take the train on leave one occasion for the same trip. Jerks went through all my belongings as I was "acting suspicious" in regards to my luggage. I had thousands of dollars of music CD's and they stayed locked to my side. | ||

That shit pisses me off ... Especially the confiscated and destroyed part. Once they confiscate your firearm, you are likely to never see it again. Chicago has played this game for a long time. Let's say you have a pretty expensive gun that you are really attached to. It might have cost you $1,500. Chicago cop pulls you over for some minor traffic violation. BTW, whats in that case in the back of the car. Next thing you know they are confiscating a perfectly legal firearm being transported within the law. Being a law abiding citizen, you are smart enough to know that this is not the time to make a stand against an armed Chicago cop. The problem is that they have no intention of ever giving that gun back to you. Sure, you can win in court. They already know that your legal fees will be much more than the cost of that gun though. They see this as a win because you will never get your gun back. The cheapest and easiest thing to do is just get yourself a new one. It's all considered legal except for the initial confiscation too. No one in the officers chain of command is even going to slap his wrist in the Republic of Chicago however. | ||

Bloomberg at it again: http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/articles/2014/4/ bloomberg-rebrands-gun-control-apparatus-pledges-5 0-million-to-fight-nra-second-amendment.aspx
None of the groups above give a hoot about illegal guns or gun safety. They've been funding legislation affecting only those in legal hands, and have done nothing to promote safety. | ||
| Zane |
If Bloomberg was serious about cutting down on shooting and making the country safer, he'd take that $50 million and spend it on mental health. How many of the recent high profile shootings involved a mentally ill person? Cutting down on mass shootings doesn't seem to be on his real agenda. Clearly he's more interested in seeing "we the people" disarmed. (Message edited by Zane on April 21, 2014) | ||

Good deal? http://www.cdnnsports.com/para-ordnance-1911-45acp -5-bl-expert-fo-frt-2-8rd.html#.U1Wagsu9KSN Made in America by Canadian company, high marks for quality. | ||
| Aesquire |
Decent deal. I'd change the rear sight, but otherwise it's their basic well made 1911 clone. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but everything considered normal today. Beavertail grip safety with bump ( so it still works with a high grip ) oversized ejector port, etc. Fiber optic front sight. ( personal preference applies ) I notice the Expert isn't touted as having their new one piece extractor. Para used to brag about their multi-piece power extractor, so I suppose I missed a press release. | ||
| Puddlepirate |
Many aftermarket 1911 parts don't fit the Para-Ordnance guns, so that's one thing to keep in mind if buying one. That one looks like a "regular" single-stack, so it may not be an issue. They used to have all colt series 80 triggers, which sucked for trigger jobs. I've never been a fan of CDNN, but I would be happy to pay $400 for that gun after the rebate. | ||

Remington has a $75 rebate or free match barrel install on theirs, as well. | ||

There's been a bit of a buzz as the importation of 5.45x39 has recently been halted. This ammunition has a mild steel core. It is not considered armor piercing, and should especially not be considered as such being a 22 caliber projectile. A similar import ban was imposed in 1994 on 7.62x39. Most that is imported now uses a lead projectile with a copper washed bimetal jacket. There's been rumors of bans of various imported firearms. These guns aren't much good without ammo. The original ATF ban was done under the guise of protecting law enforcement, from all the gangsters running around with chopper pistols  | ||

Sifo, that's my new background on the work computer. The guys here got a kick out of it.  However, I think the charging handle on Ma Deuce is a bit stiff for a child to operate. Glad they left that one out of the picture. | ||

Another good deal. At this price, everyone ought to own one. http://www.slickguns.com/product/dpms-lr-308-sport ical-ar-10-sa-308-rem-16-191-6-pos-stk-blk-87295-f ree-shipping#deal_info_tab | ||

Ain't youtube wonderful Mac? So, the honest meaning of gun control... http://youtu.be/0FbUMqoyjDw | ||

Something is off in this reporting... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/ 24/atf-guns-registration/8115273/ Confusing class III license renewals with MG registrations? | ||
| Sifo |
Confusing class III license renewals with MG registrations? They seem to not be making that mistake. "According to ATF records, a total of 512,790 machine guns were registered across the country in 2014, more than 571,000 silencers, 2.2 million so-called destructive devices (which include grenades and other explosives), 137,201 short-barreled rifles and 131,951 short-barreled shotguns." It's pretty clearly broken down by what appears to be accurate classifications. Given that it's my understanding that a civilian can't purchase a newly manufactured auto fire gun, I have to wonder... Do all of our government's various civilian police forces that have been buying ammo by the trainload lately register their automatic weapons as an NFA weapon? | ||
| Aesquire |
Very good question I doubt there are a half million old machine guns in the system. ( fu GHWB btw ) | ||
| Sifo |
If I'm right about that, it's not only a very misleading statistic, but pretty scary to contemplate what the real meaning of it is. | ||
| Ducbsa |
Could the 512K of registered machine guns mean total, not new registrations? I know a guy that has a Thompson and a .50 cal, maybe more, so that many for the whole country is believable, I guess. Are police using full auto rifles that would be in that total? I just assumed they were semi-auto. I don't want them out-gunned by bad guys, but I don't think very many bad guys have full auto guns. | ||
| Puddlepirate |
usually only the REALLY bad guys have automatic weapons. and they dont register them. those are usually illegally smuggled in or illegally converted to auto. those will not be reflected in those stats. | ||
| Blake |
That statement is just wrong. Certainly wrt 2014, and certainly wrt MG registrations. Per the same article earlier in the report... "Between 2005 and 2013, firearms act-related applications "skyrocketed by more than 380%'' to nearly 200,000, according to the April 16 memo issued by ATF Deputy Assistant Director Marvin Richardson. The surge has contributed to a backlog of more than 70,000 applications." Obviously you can't have 500,000+ MG registrations in 2014 if the total record number of NFA applications was 200,000. But the number will get into the news and serve its purpose, to deceive low information voters. | ||

Sifo weren't we talking about "studies" on a different thread? No need to repeat comments just noticing. |
