I'm confused... Why is the City of Chicago paying such huge amounts of money to gun rights groups? Please excuse my ignorance. :o

For anybody who hasn't recently checked the bill status, it has gained many new sponsors. Would this be a good time for their constituents to say thank you?

I don't believe you can hunt in a national park so a game warden wouldn't be a problem in about 40% of the trail. As for the other 60% I have no clue. Also, having backpacked in the past myself I have a feeling that a long gun would throw off the balance of your pack and make it a pain to carry...

This would also ban the "broomhandle" mauser if I'm not mistaken. I don't know where she got the idea that banning barrel shrouds will reduce violence. What it will do however, is leave gun owners with burnt hands.

I enjoyed the one where the man asked them to ask him questions. If only legislators took into consideration the opinions and knowledge of citizens who actually have ethos on the topic.

Does anyone know why there is a gap between the "gripping tabs" on either side of the bolt and the body?

We'll still get hassled by the police--a lot. What kinds of costs would be associated with getting the proper permits?

I never thought this day would come... Would I be going to far to say that Illinois seems to have been almost reasonable lately?

At summer camp one of my merit badges will be rifle shooting. I have taken it before but with the setup they use meeting the 5 shots within a quarter is very difficult. I personally have 2 .22 rifles a single shot bolt action and a ruger 10/22. My problem with the boyscout setup is that I am not...

I'm sorry I love my 10/22 it even has a custom collapseable stock and foregrip but if I needed to put someone out of commision in a light easy to carry rifle I'd use a Marlin camp 9mm or a semiauto sterling
