Aha... interesting viewpoint in concept, nothing but raving lunacy in practice. Read some history, perhaps the new Ben Franklin bio. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0684807610.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Learn all about America before US taxes (British only) and why US government taxation is...

Read Rising Sun I thought I had read everything printed on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War, and then I read Rising Sun: Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire by John Toland. A Pulitzer prize winner. This is the BEST book I have ever read on Pearl and the Pacific War told from primarily...

Yup, according to the book (which I just finished), Sobel shot himself but botched it and didn't die for some time. The interesting part is that one of the guys kept paying dues on Sobel's behalf to the 101 Association hoping he would get involved, which he never did. I think the photo of...

Fanatics R' Us I don't really see the question as "Islam v. The West". I see it more as fanatic individuals using religion, of any flavor, to control or assert their will over large groups of people. History is full of it, we are just getting the latest installment and it happens to be...

CZ design by committee It looks like a CZ75D Compact frame, note the red "fire" safety dot with a decocker in place of the safety. And with a modified slide ... WOW... Why didn't they just make a PCR or P-01 in .40???? :what:

Department of Redundancy Department Another liberal who doesn't get it... yup.... :rolleyes:

Well, IMHO, if the job is dangerous enough that you need a handgun, why would you also NOT need a long gun that would be more accurate and effective under most circumstances? The administrators of most public universities are generally not known for their profound thinking when it comes to...

Some Ideas If you are concerned with "politically correct" :barf: stick to hunting rifles and shot guns. And stick to "purty" ones because women will buy tickets for their hubbies, boyfriends, etc. Invariably you sell lots of tickets to women who are buying them for their men (or so they...

Moly Lube For the last year or so I have been using spray on dry moly lube in my pistols slides and actions (and on the nipple on my BP rifles and pistols). Seems to work quite well, no problems at all and doesn't attract crud like RemOil. I use CLP on the barrels. No thread highjack, but...

The Core of Illogic Uh... uh.... What if I need a "high powered" rifle to kill another human being to protect my "people and their rights"? Guess the author didn't bother to tie that little issue up. :rolleyes:

Excellent, articulate article. From a "kolledge" no less... wow :what:

Eyes Wide Shut Uh... its right there. "Separation of Church and State" is just a legal shorthand term for that portion of the 1st Amendment you quoted. In otherwords, Congress isn't supposed to make laws regarding religion, pro or con. SCOTUS may say the same thing in 35 pages, but...

I only have one comment.... we may have all of these problems to some extent, but Europe has France. :neener:

I work for the other guys On a lighter note, I have a standard line for the "you work for me" folks .... It goes like this... "No, actually, I work for the guys who think you are guilty." :D

My question would be why any LE departments would mess with Glocks. There are documented KBs, perhaps more, perhaps less than other guns but there are KBs. Even you supporters say they are finicky with ammo. Grips are marginal, IMHO. What super dooper advantages (other than weight) do Glocks...
