You are disposable. Plain and simple you cannot always do what you are supposed to without losing. If you are required to approach vehicles and address the driver from a close distance but will be fired for even drawing a gun on someone that has a gun out then you are being asked to lose the...

I support teachers carrying guns or at least having faculty on campus that have guns. Having nobody armed or relying on one openly armed indidivudal likely to be targeted first or early on when people first realize there is even a threat is a foolish option in a society where guns are widely...

I don't see anything inaccurate I was saying. Bad guys are using exactly what law abiding citizens are, particularly the carry market. The time to crime of many guns means what was most popular some years ago will be the most common with criminals getting them second hand. The types used by...

Totally different topics, the big push towards gun control was during a time yes of some assassinations, but also a lot of protests and political unrest in general. The push towards legislation I think came from a desire to create prohibited persons and control who could and could not have guns...

That is already the direction being pushed by ITAR type rules and other international level compliance. If it is made for guns or arms in general it is becoming an item the police states of the world want to track from production to end user. Whether optic, stock, barrel, magazine, or anything...

Which is exactly what I said. They are using what the mainstream demographic that wants to carry firearms uses, primarily those which are concealable in common service weapon calibers. When before the legislation to ban Saturday night Specials and other inexpensive guns came about in a misguided...

A very long thread to basically say that bad guys carry whatever guns are typically concealable. Or exactly what most law abiding citizens would choose as a carry firearm, with some overlap into larger guns one can still manage to carry concealed. With the shift in production and demographics...

The ATF is using its definitions to enforce laws that Congress passed. In some cases going a bit further, but let us not forget that it is not merely a single agency, but rather the government decided a method of identifying what is and at what point a firearm in order to apply firearm laws to...

So what is she actually going to do with a 10 year sentence in Texas? I know some states have minimum amounts of the sentence for certain violent crimes, but that generally about half of a sentence with good time is done with parole cutting what portion of it is done behind bars down even...

Jailed directly is unlikely but in trouble legally indirectly is common and has erroded the freedom of speech. If for example you state views or opinions that show dislike or bias against any of growing protected classes on your own personal time outside of employment but you are a supervisor...

It is true, however it is also true that the squeeky wheel often gets the greese and gives the impression their view is a strong one and shapes what becomes the norms and values of society. If you are always docile and back down from things you will certainly avoid many problems including those...

Honestly 10 years for murder is light. It was her fault, she went into someone's residence and killed them dead for no justified reason. The only defense being she thought it was her house. She essentially broke into their home and then shot them dead, practically a home invasion, it was just by...

Citizens gravitate towards what the police and military are using, and since that is the purpose of the 2nd, to have citizens similarly equiped with arms, that is probably as it should be. It is actually a good choice for those without much knowledge of firearms because the requirements for the...

A typical pistol caliber handgun sounds very different than a rifle round. Someone rapid firing a rifle, even a less powerful rifle like a 5.56 would make a very diferent sound with every round cracking with a loud super sonic crack versus the pop of a pistol. It would not be too hard to tell a...

Reloading is dangerous to those without the dedication to safely do it. It only takes a single mistake in thousands of rounds to make your gun explode in your face. So the people being targeted the most by gun and ammunition restrictions, the impulsive and the lower income brackets involved in...
