My grandfather recently handed down to me a Winchester model m-59 12ga with fiberglass barrel that is lined with steel. I'm seeing conflicting advice/opinions about whether to even use this gun on up to using it with non-steel shot. I'd love to hear from someone who owns and has possibly used...

I think people are focusing too quickly on the possible bad things a technology like this could be used for, which considering the classic "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line used by many Pro-gun debaters, makes me kinda laugh at the hysterics surrounding this proposed technology...

Or even more simply, it could be that those who were not soldiers, used military hardware on surplus. Weapons makers, and outfitters are probably not going to be doing up different styles just because civilians wanted something else. The time period we are talking about is the dawning of the...

Just tossing this out there, but if this law was passed specifically as a reaction to the OC movement, couldn't it be construed as a law that violates free speech rights? The OC Movement was displaying unloaded weapons for the purposes of protesting government action (it was poltical speech)...

Leave the ad hominem attacks at the door please. I don't care if she was a polygamous transexual from Transylvania if she would honor the intent behind the Constitution and it's amendments. However, given her willingness to accept "reasonable" restrictions on gun and speech rights at the...

Actually lets look at this one statement and dissect it a bit. Note she states, that "There is no question ,after Heller, that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms..." Instead of stating that there was no question rooted in the second itself, she is...

As a counter to your point, if the government didn't have a monopoly on military quality/capable weapons, would the same lack of interest in the civilian world be present? If civilians could own fully automatic weapons, and/or military grade weapons without the laws and stigma currently...

Personally I think just about anything can be appreciated to deep levels, if what you are appreciating is something that interests you. For some folks, it's guns or more broadly, machinery/tools of various types. For others it's art. Others still it's nature. I knew a guy who...

No it's not... It's in my belly.... mmm cake. :neener:

It's probably Year/Month/Day which honestly is a better date format for organizational purposes. I know in many datatypes in various databases now they have a full DateTime data type which break down to: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:000 (where the zeros are down to thousandths of a second) By...

Not claiming to be a legal expert here, but I think that statement is false. Else how would non-CHLs carry from their car to a range? How would non-CHL hunters carry their weapons to/from/on hunting grounds. How would transporting the weapon for purposes commerce (buying/selling) be...

From a purely anecdoctal point of view... I own a Taurus PT 24/7 in .40 while my brother has the same gun in 9mm. Both he, and my dad, along with myself all agree the .40 has a higher recoil. And both of us were shooting Winchester rounds we purchased from Wally World. I don't...

Aside from several comments others have made, I also will state, that having separation between your religious/spiritual "you" and your secular "you" is in essence an affront to God(or in most other religions whatever entity you believe in), and more over a deceit towards your fellow man. One...

Just curious since I know next to squat about muzzle loaders, but how would you unload one, without firing it? Can you push the load and ball back out the front via some port in the back? or do you need some long extracter on a pole similar to the ramrod?

Without meaning to sound, argumentative... Why? Why is owning something for recreation, and being willing to sell those items when the recreation ended automatically mean that person would be less willing to fight for others rights to use these items as they see fit? To take this in...
