I'm reading these opinions, and trying to discern where folks stand, but frankly the responses are too nuanced for me. Seems we would be united that 1) any illegal alien should not be allowed to own, possess or look at a firearm, given the 2000+ NFA laws I, as a veteran Navy officer must abide...

Can anyone explain Sen. McCain's desire to destroy thousands of military 1911's in government storage, rather than allow the CMP to refurbish and sell them to collectors, using the profits to fund gun safety and marksmanship training?

Spot on. I don't understand why more folks don't see the obvious problem with the No Fly or the Watch list(s): if the people on the list are so bad, than arrest them, interrogate them, and either charge them or deport them. Period. The Watch list is north of 900K names! Unmanageable and...

Alternatives to AWB Just a couple of points that can hopefully steer the conversation with anti-gunners into a more productive direction: There are many ways to neutralize a deranged shooter. I was thinking about this kid in CT, and how he was supposed to be so withdrawn as to be barely...

Thanks for the info on Romney and ARB Thanks to all that answered. Based on this, it does not appear that gun owners in MASS got much in the deal, except for the review board, whereby those denied approval for misdemeanor offenses could appeal the decision. This has the potential to being...

Crickets? No one has either any knowledge and/or interest in helping us understand one of the more significant gun-ownership unfriendly actions in recent history, supported and abetted by the person whom may very well be the Republican nominee.

I've seen the video of Mitt Romney announcing signing of the Mass Assault Rifle Ban, including his rationalization that the bill was supported by both the anti-gun and the *pro-gun* crowd, and that (I am paraphrasing...) gun owners "got as good as the gave" with this bill. I cannot imagine...

To say he should have taken the gun home or to work or locked it in the trunk, is all beside the point. Assume 1) a hatchback 2) there is no viable drop off safe spot (my work does not allow "weapons") and 3) you need to use valet parking. What is the legal expectation? Is a crime committed...

I'm trying to determine which Republican candidate has a supportable position and history supporting my 2nd amendment rights. Here is what I have learned: 1. Mitt Romney is a "no go" wrt supporting gun owners, based on his supporting the "assault rifle ban" as governor of MA. I understand...

Unbelievable that this couple has to go through this nonsense. I hope everyone realizes that there but for the grace of God...., and we are all one raised voice argument away from losing our gun rights. I've heard the arguments supporting the Lautenberg DV bill, and they are a fantasy...

Uh no, not everyone that shoots tactically is LE or military, and thus will not have a vest issued to them. I practice tactical shooting drills with ARs and AKs at our local club, and need a vest with capacity to hold a goodly number of mags. I hope this doesn't turn into a "why does someone...

The "theory" is most certainly correct. There is no other explanation for such an il-conceived and boneheaded plan. This administration is complicit in agent Brian Terry's death.

Funny you mention it, I have a M44US. Very accurate, but the mag feed process is a major PIA. It came with 4 mags, and to varying degrees, they all frequently jam the round when the bolt is cycled. It prefers hard and fast, (no jokes, please...), but even still it will jam frequently. It is...

Thank you! Wow, I'm overwhelmed. Thank you all for your great responses! Looks like I need to do a little more homework, and check these all out. I will say that I do want it to be USA made, and although I would not rule out a Belgium Browning or Czech CZ at all, anything made in China is a...

My wife is just not excited about shooting AR-style rifles, so I'd like to get her something 1) with classic, wooden furniture and 2) smaller caliber with less recoil, and to that end am considering one of the new Henry 22LRs. I think she would appreciate the look and feel of this type of...

Just purchased a 930 SPX, and am seeking advice on my options to expand its uses, which obviously starts as a home defense weapon. Can I use any of the other barrels that Mossberg sells for the standard 930; 24", 28", rifled slug, etc? I'd like to use it for say sporting clays, and assume that...

I am interested in getting an AR-15, although I haven't spent much time with them yet. I assumed I should get a mil-spec(ish) Colt, Armalite, DPMS, etc., but I recently came across the Sig Sauer 556 Classic for sale. I was wondering what pros and cons would be involved with the Sig version...

Thoughtful Responses Thanks to everyone who responded to my original post. It seems clear that my concern that the thresold for losing one's gun rights under "lautenberg" is too low is very real, based on the those that have had experience with the law in this regard. Those that dismiss the...
