    What should really be done about gun violence in the US?

    How about: Understand that living in a free society carries inherent risk. Whenever you give people freedom, and the ability to act on their thoughts, whims and desires, some percentage of the population will make poor decisions as to course of action, and some of those poor decisions will...

    Proposed ban on all Ivory sales

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/dougbandow/2013/01/21/when-you-ban-the-sale-of-ivory-you-ban-elephants/2/ 1) 'What caliber for elephants' is a non-theoretical question in Africa. 2) Prohibitions rarely work as anything other than price supports for the prohibited good/service. 3) This one...

    Caliber Commonality...Maybe not the best idea

    Diversity makes sense if the goal is being able to buy the cheapest ammo available. If the goal is having enough dependable ammo for sustained training/usage in your preferred defensive weapons went you won't have opportunities for resupply, you're likely better off concentrating funds on...

    Wasting money on shotshell holders

    Butt cuff with 6 extras on the gun. 9 in the shotgun. A shooter's sling bag with 2 pistol mags, two rifle mags, and a box of shells. Whenever I need to grab a gun, I grab the bag too. But honestly, if I can't solve it in the first 15 rounds of buck, then I mostly just brought spare mags for when...

    3D Guns Advocate Cody Wilson is About More Than Weapons and That's What Most Frightens People About Him Emphasis mine. This is what scares them shtlss.

    3D Printed Liberator Pistol: Video, more angles, loading detail

    Democratization, cost and simplicity. The fact that tools exist that allow something to be created isn't the same thing as those tools being cheap, available or easy to use. Photography didn't start with digital, but digital photography sure as heck was a seismic shift. Because it made a PITA...

    3D Printed Liberator Pistol: Video, more angles, loading detail

    And? They can regulate whatever ever they want. Unless they ban the internet, plastic filament and stepper motors they can suck it. Again, that's the point. And with the people that understand this - which is most of the sub 25 year old population of the first world - it looks like confused...

    3D Printed Liberator Pistol: Video, more angles, loading detail

    Defcad's target device is a Reprap 3D printer, which can be bought/built for in the neighborhood of a grand. And it's a LOT easier to use than a CNC mill. And the point isn't a viable weapon, the point IS to get people riled up. Hippies do think guns are produced by evil NRA wizards...

    What is the gun show loophole?

    It's the Brown Note. It's alligators in the sewer. It's Al Qaeda buying UPS uniforms. It's an urban legend - nominally based on a dramatically flawed 20 year old survey - that lends credibility and the veneer of rationality to the inane screechings of hoplophobes.

    Why the NRA is against UBC

    Yes, because operating in a morass of vague and ambiguous rules coupled with draconian penalties while being routinely publicly accused of taking joy in the murder of innocents is such an awesome way to move product. Do these morons understand that their uninformed screeching moves more guns...

    The Civilian Arms Market and Military Small Arms Innovation

    Considering everytime you mention guns as a hedge against governmental tyranny they got wood describing just how quickly the military would wipe out gun owners, I'm pretty sure they want to keep some Storm Troopers around.

    Divisive issues

    Remind me again how many Libertarian presidential candidates have been elected? How many are in Congress? How many Greens? Socialist (clearly labeled)? Our system incentivizes a small number of parties and those parties coalesce towards the statist mean that the electorate, for the most...

    Dem Donors Threaten to Cut Off Dem Senators Who Oppose Gun Control

    I like this. Someone should run these in every market where Bloomberg is putting his ads. I agree that the Republicans should actually have a coherent 'personal freedom' platform, but your solution replaces one mandate from Washington with another. The answer is either make marriage a state...

    Does More Than ONE Firearm make you a Possible Threat

    Just remember, when reported in the media, if it's more than a single gun and an 'ammunition clip' worth of ammo, it's an 'arsenal'. I pointed out to a friend of my wife's, who was screeching about some dude they caught near her in NYC with an 'arsenal' of 3 guns and 500 rounds of ammo, that...

    What do the D's have against poor people?

    Of course the poor are being targeted first. They're poor, therefore easier to screw over. You want to start a fight, you start with the people that can't drag you into court, and probably have sketchy friends and relatives that you can use to discredit them via association. Then you just need...

    Help Me Combat This Antigun Argument RE: Australia

    Another link would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Australia Money quote #1: In 2005 the head of the New South Wales Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, Don Weatherburn,[34] noted that the level of legal gun ownership in New South Wales increased in recent years, and that...

    Pithy (if not slightly content-free) argument against background checks/registration

    Predictable emotional response - "But voting doesn't kill children!" So as a follow up - "Tell that to families in Pakistan."

    Can we present a united front re: the "Modern Sporting Rifle"?

    I said I was a weapon, I didn't say it was made for killing. By accepting the anti's premise that weapons are 'made for killing', you've already given away the store. The rest is just the terms of the surrender. It's not being wedded to terminology. It's about debasing the language, and...

    Can we present a united front re: the "Modern Sporting Rifle"?

    It is sad that this is what the world has come to. The common citizen is so far divorced from the concept of armed self defense that any reference that that icky old military is damning. So we'll call it a modern sport rifle. Or how about a 'unicorn peace and love launcher'? Maybe a 'rainbow...
