I'm late to the party - I'll have to check them out :)

If you want them to enjoy shooting, don't start them with too much gun. When I was younger (maybe 9th grade), my younger cousin was visiting and we went shooting with my shotgun (20-ga). The recoil was too much and he did not enjoy shooting that day; I'm pretty sure it was the first time he'd...

I've read through a few posts regarding this question or one similar enough where we get two types of FFL holders replying: those who embrace industry changes and welcome transfers coming their way through Internet sales while also looking for ways to increase store revenue on those transactions...

Yes, but you're talking about a movie here and more importantly, that boys are going to learn by doing stupid stuff even if they "know better." When my son is old enough and seems responsible enough to listen to firearm safety instructions and view a BB gun as a real gun, he'll get one, plus the...

You old farts have to remember most of us younger guys (under 30, I am guessing for the OP's age) don't own so many firearms that we would be jaded about getting a fun plinker as a gift. :neener: I'm betting his groomsmen will be very appreciative and finding them on sale, under his budget is...

My wife gets really when I comment about gun related stuff in the TV shows she watches. -Incorrect sound effect (including the shotgun/handgun slide sound or revolver hammer cocking every time someone raises a gun on screen) -Magical, endless magazines -Mythical aiming prowess of every...

I still have .22lr ammo, but still don't have time to go shoot it :(

I got real active in sending loads of e-mail and letters to politicians. I got my butt on armslist and sold some Wolf .223 bulk ammo that I bought cheap in 2011. (proceeds from this sale went to NRA-ILA, GOA, and SAF) I do have to admit that I got a little panicky myself and bought a enough...

I just call mine EBRs as an ironic term. If they ever come up in the course of conversation as made just to kill people, I point out that mine must be pacifist EBRs because they only kill paper. :D

It's threads like these (and the responses) that make me wish THR had a thank function for posts.

I read a news article on this yesterday. The publisher "apologized" for the printing, stating that the summary was written before the Heller decision and that a revision would be issued, probably regarding ownership of bear arms.

Seems to be historical precedence against your argument that government won't use a registration for confiscation. Anyway...guns, what guns? Seems like Cali has been pretty successful in exporting its population and politics to OR, CO, and WA.

I donate to SAF, GOA, and NRA-ILA in equal amounts. It isn't like I'm throwing a ton of cash around, but the small guys have proactively spearheaded some big legal action (high risk, high reward) while NRA-ILA is more reactive in jumping in where it looks like their weight/money will produce a...

I visited SBux a few times over the past couple years due to their stance along with buying some pre-ground espresso roast at the store to feed my aeropress. I'll just stick to the local coffee shops from now on. Ultimately, they were painted into a lose-lose situation by both the antis and the...

Congratulations, Colorado! Now if only we can be proactive about not letting these clownshoes win the office in the first place...Hope your next step is repealing those laws, successfully.
