The reason I said "good shot" is because that's the scenario presented in the original post. Would using this gun make a good shot bad? I can't see it. Obviously, charging decisions and ultimately jury verdicts are case specific. Realistically, if a jury is swung by the defendant using...

Out of curiosity, is there a single defense attorney in this thread that would be concerned about this? I wouldn't. Then again, I don't personally sweat reloads or ammo names either. If you're shooting an honest to God random armed intruder in your house, none of this will matter. If...

I've messaged all the manufacturers I can think of asking them to follow Springfield's lead. These retailers need to understand that these policies have consequences

Nice. Sense like a good gig for a gun enthusiast

You're a forensic examiner gunny? Very cool. I do defense work - most attorneys in my office think y'all speak Greek!

I don't think Trump is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. His ego and desire to be loved will have him breaking campaign promises. He apparently isn't smart enough to realize that the people that hate him will continue to hate him. He can only lose votes by doing this stuff

I don't often use any of these businesses but I've written all of them today to let them know they've lost me due to their virtue signaling

A government subsidy would go a long way towards removing the sting from private background checks. Then again, I'm guessing there's not a lot of interest in actually funding it from your average taxpayer

There's a lot of debate in the criminal law arena about how young defendants <18, 18-21 etc should be treated. The science is fairly clear that the rational element of an 18-21 year old's brain still isn't fully formed. I agree though - you're either fully responsible for everything or you're...

I don't think we're on the same page. I don't WANT to increase the age. I think it'll do absolutely nothing. I don't want ANY new restrictions and I'm pretty much an advocate of rolling back any current restrictions you can think of. I don't point to compromise because of guilt or because I...

Ok - I'll stand strong and refuse to give an inch - especially on bump fire devices. Remind me how much my courage helped in a couple months

All the rah rah we'll NEVER give an inch stuff sounds great but if you don't feel the winds of change coming you're not paying attention. I agree that it's a slippery slope and that this will be a death by a thousand cuts. That said I don't think it's a bad idea to try to get while we're...

Either this is all BS or this company has the worst luck on the planet that they were just forced to compliance at this particular time. In the case of the latter, if I was involved in PR for the company I think I would've sent out a furious press release explaining what was happening and how...

While I understand the "not one inch" reasoning, I could get onboard with raising the age to 21 in exchange for 1) national ccw reciprocity 2) lifting SBR laws/taxes 3) lifting suppressor laws/taxes Seems like there should be "common sense" negotiations

They just posted this in a Facebook comment: "We fully understand how the email featured in the article on The Truth About Guns suggests that we may have made a decision to limit the sales of magazines over 10 rounds due to the recent tragedy in Parkland, Florida. Before we go any further, we...
