It is a very specific and chargable offense to act for a foreign power. So how many people blacklisted or investigated were found guilty of treason? We complain when the mental health laws in California are used to deprive gun owners their rights. What's the difference? In both cases rights...

True that. Of course you also need to turn up hours before a flight. Security like that would kill business travel dead in the US with a single stroke. Is the hit to the economy really worth it? Look at the numbers of deaths on the road, yet there is no call for everyone to drive a...

A smiley would have helped. I've heard it said too many times by folks who meant it.

Doesn't read quite so well now does it? Until they actually commit treason then they can hold whatever beliefs they want. Wanting to get elected is not a treason last time I looked at the law. If the communists gained enough power at the state and federal level and with enough popular...

Meade, which someone pointed out bought Weaver, is in deep, deep financial trouble. I wouldn't touch them at all right now.

I'd be massively surprised if .311 bullets are hard to find up north. It's the same diameter as a .303 cartridge bullet. The Brits measure the bore across the lands, we measure across the grooves. Which is how a .303 ends up using a bullet .311 across.

In revolutionary times burning an effigy of the King was a treasonable offense, for which the penalty was "to be taken to a place of execution and be hanged by the neck until you are dead" in olde englishe. I can quite easily see the parallel between an effigy of the King and the flag as...

Centac wrote I find it condescending and arrogant to be treated as somewhat of a pariah because I carry but in the next moment to be expected to act as a body guard. There is something deeply wrong and offensive to me in this. I will act to protect those in society who cannot otherwise...

Steel or aluminum tank? This makes a big difference. Aluminum tanks have been responsible for turning several bottle filling stations into so much scrap and have killed and maimed several people in the process.

Oleg, Just sugestion. Can you put a link to the hi-res version (if you have one) as I have a growing collection of your art and it would make it nice and easy to get your recent your. Thanks.

pmcbooks, The 50 year rule comes from the Federal Register (CFR) which is written by unelected officials and interprets the law. The US Code (USC) is what grants the abilty to write the CFR. It is 18 USC 925 which allowed 27 CFR 178 (the 50 year rule) to be written. I only truly...

pmcbooks, You need to read 921(a)(13) to complete your assesment, and it doesn't make good reading at all. (13) The term ''collector'' means any person who acquires, holds, or disposes of firearms as curios or relics, as the Attorney General shall by regulation define, and the...

It makes some sense to me, at least logistically. <Optimism> Looks like they are setting up some kind of office that will also house a number of unarmed "civilian" workers who will also be issued body armor. Kinda like contractors in Iraq where it seems everyone has body armor but only...

Very accurate indeed, if it was full. There have been entire stores destroyed and people killed when a tank being filled has failed. In jaws the tank was shot to cause it to fail. Article 1 Tank explosion kills one Tank fails in car Pics of tanks and store damage A forum...

cropcirclewalker, What do you think your membership fees are used for? Not for political lobbying because that is illegal, and has been for a while. This is why they set up the NRA-ILA, which is not funded by any contributions to the NRA itself. It is the NRA ILA that sends out the...
