FedEx employee here. There are no special fees for shipping firearms via FedEx. It's like any other package for the most part. Price is determined by dimensions, weight, origin point of the shipment, destination, commercial or residential address, grade of service chosen, fuel surcharge...

My girlfriend and I have been discussing this quite seriously due to the possibility of unrest if Obama loses in November. We live in a working class neighborhood in Baltimore that backs up to and is flanked by some rougher areas. We have a pretty straight shot out of town that only requires...

He'd no longer be able to pay child support.

So I just bought my second SKS. She's Chinese and came to me without a bayonet or cleaning rod. No big deal. The two ran less than ten bucks here on the internet. But here's my problem: the bayonet doesn't naturally rest in its housing in the stock. It's a spike bayonet and when I have it...

How do the collective right advocates square their position with the fact that standing law considers all males under the age of 45 members of the militia?

I'm going to reiterate my question as I see other Marylanders are present in this thread. Is O'Malley demanding access to records of private treatment, and if so how would he get them without being provided (by the purchaser) with treatment history, insurance information, etc?

Maybe I'm just totally in the dark here, but what does this even accomplish? I understand that records are kept of all court proceedings and thus a record exists for any hearing wherein a person was committed to an institution or judged too mentally feeble to manage their own affairs. But is...

Somewhere on Guncite the idea that "bear" in 18th Century legal parlance meant carrying and using arms in the context of organized military activities is discussed. Given the contemporary ideas about the militia this makes sense. It does not, however, mean that the Framers were attempting to...

You do. And it's not just because you're gifting a handgun. Long guns that are changing hands between residents of different states must also go through FFLs. If you both have the same state on your drivers licenses then that state's rules for private transfers apply. If that's not the...

Does your proximity to Scotland make you more prone to the logical fallacy named for the people of that country?

Wow. I read the post, contemplated the project, and was left thinking "lol wut?" Don't do it. Just buy yourself an already outfitted rifle for what you'd spend in mods and parts. Also, don't ever expect sniper accuracy from an M44. Not even a minty Polish one. Accurate Mosin-Nagants...

The real question is if people who are shot to death are any deader than those bludgeoned, burned, stabbed, crushed, strangled, etc.

Even a favorable verdict in Heller will likely mean nothing to the majority of American gun owners for the time being. It may eventually serve as a bulwark against universal confiscation, but that's about it. This is all going to hinge on what the court deems "infringed" to mean. Read some...

Looks like someone forgot to track the suicide rate in DC against suicide rates by race. DC is a majority black city and African-Americans have one of the lowest (I think the single lowest, but I don't feel like hitting Google right now) suicide rates of any racial group in America. Try...

The Panthers were not a racist group in any meaningful sense of the word. They did not advocate black supremacy, white genocide, or any other hallmark typical of racist organizations. What they did was take the orthodox Marxist-Leninist stance on African America and give it a Maoist spin...
