Great job guys! Very happy to see these two bums get thrown out on their back sides, and knowing that Bloomberg spent a bunch of his money for nothing, makes it all the sweeter of a victory. Maybe you guys can help some of the other counties get organized, and throw out a few more of the...

I got about 10 no votes in before it stopped working for me. I'll call it some more later. Awfully nice of mayor bloomberg to provide this service for us. :evil:

This can be especially true in the gun debate. I have seen some very outlandish claims from both sides of the argument. In general though, I believe facts back up our position. And in fact, I have seen the other side of the debate often misrepresenting the facts, or skewing data to try and...

Welcome to the High Road Mandabear3109. You are in very good hands here, this is a very well educated group when it comes to all things firearms. I started out, very much in your shoes back in 2006 or so. I wasn't anti-gun, just never really had much experience with them, or had been...

I think if you go about this the way you are planning to, you will simply alienate your family and friends that much more, possibly pushing them to a position where they will close their mind completely to the subject. In which case, the dialog will be closed, and you will have killed any...

I am not a LEO, but I've been pulled over a few times now, in the 6 or so years that I've had my cpl. I've never once been disarmed, on any of those stops. I've never once had the officer so much as bat an eye when I told him I was armed. In fact, they seem to treat me better since I've...

Well, the head gunsmith was able to get it off finally. He ended up having to use a large pipe wrench to do it. It was staked, and apparently torqued on pretty good. Anyways, best $10 I ever spent was having him deal with it. No more frustration for me. lol I'll probably end up getting...

No, I don't have any pics of it. I guess I could take one now, and post it, but I don't know how much good it would be. The nut is pretty boogered up at this point, between my attempts and the smiths attempts to get it off. I even tried using a dremel to remove the staking, which pretty much...

Ok, so I just got back from my local gun shop, where their part-time "gunsmith in training" guy couldn't get this nut off either. And he was mounting it in a vice, and using a much beefier wrench than the one that I have. I feel a little better, in that it's not just me being a moron here...

Heh, yeah, that was the first thing I checked, I've been known to screw that whole right left thing up in the past lol. Sitting on the lower is basically what I'm doing. I have it wedged between my leg, and the floor. This is the wrench I bought...

Thanks for the humor, I was definitely in need of it yesterday lol It's a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 ORM. I bought it new, about a year ago. There hasn't been any other work done to it since it leaving the factory, so I assume that it was staked at the factory. I did some reading on the...

Yeah, that's what I was trying to do, apparently it's not working, cause I still can't turn the nut. Heh, yep, probably all my fault. I'm a total newb to this stuff, guess I should just give it up and find a freakin gunsmith. On my last try, I was applying quite a bit of force, and the...

Ok, so whoever came up with this idea, ought to be shot! This :cuss: nut will not come off, and now I've screwed up my finish on my buffer tube. :banghead: sorry, just needed to vent I guess.

Got my banner today, it looks awesome. I like it very much, and will proudly display it March 20th, at our state capital. :) Thanks again, for what you are doing! :)
