    So I've got a year...

    NY should have a 7-round mag ban in place by morning. The AP reports a year grace period for existing owners. Sounds like I've got to sell 4 10/22 mags (might as well sell the whole gun) and my SMLE sporter out-of-state before next January. Kinda glad I didn't buy that double-stack S&W 9mm last...

    What would your "buyback" gun or guns be?

    I have a single-shot 12-gauge with a 19" hacksawed barrel I'd give up. Wonder if I saw it down another two inches I could get more from it :).

    Ruger .22 autos

    Everything's just about the same, but the frame is polymer on the 22/45.

    That The Journal News journalist who published all concealed license holders.

    Think for a second why they did this, and if you were in their situation, would you do the same? Well, gee, if I were receiving as many death threats as they are (anthrax scare, anonymous emails), I'd hire armed guards, too. They don't deserve death threats, which only "prove" to the other...

    New York State Ban - We need your help as well as other states

    Let's see what it does... 1) Makes guns with ONE feature an Assault Weapons. 2) Makes pre-ban anything. That means NO mags over 10 rounds AT ALL. That means the AR from 1996 is NOW ILLEGAL 3) Adds pump rifles the same as semi-auto rifles in terms if being an "assault weapon" with the...

    ACTIVE Media Intimidation

    What for? Publishing public information? They broke no law. Anybody can walk into a sheriff's office in New York and ask for a list of pistol permit holders during office hours. They may have to pay for photocopies, but that's the only barrier. It's under the same licensing law that lets...

    Is now the time to buy revolvers?

    I've been looking at a snub-nose Model 10/64, 12 or 36/60 for a week now. Even since I started looking prices have been going up. I can't find a decent 4" Model 10 for under $350 now. Three years ago, they were plentiful at $269 through dealers. I'll just hold on to my money for now...

    Considering getting a lever action but don't know what make or caliber

    .30-30 will be the cheapest gun (and relatively cheap to feed). Marlin's are nice (336). You may find a Winchester 94 in your area for well under your budget. The only new guns in pistol calibers you'll find new in your price range are Rossi.

    Summary of Feinstein's Proposed New Gun Control Law

    Hopefully, we can negotiate it to something less than this cluster. Good news for that plain-Jane Mini-14 I was looking at, though :).

    Low Cost .22lr Revolver: Cimarron's V.S. Heritage Arms.

    I like my Heritage. Get one with adjustable sights, though. Works well on paper and squirrels for me.

    Witch Hunt: Newspaper publishes Google Map of NY Gun Permit Owners

    In New York, under statue, all licenses issued by the state are public information. Driving, hairdressing, funeral directing and pistols are all the same, and all can be released by the respective licensing authority. The paper did nothing illegal. ANYBODY can go in to a sheriff's office and ask...

    Alabama Had 199 Homicides in 2010

    Correlation is not causation. New Orleans has twice the murder rate of any other city. Louisiana scores a "0" from the Brady Campaign. Of the top 10 cities, six are in states with mid to high Brady scores, while the other four are in the low single digits. Not-so Fun Fact of the Day...

    How long til panic stops?

    Possibly as early as the in-committee death of S.R. 1, the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2013, after two years... or possibly as late as after the SCOTUS rules against the Assault Weapons Ban Act of 2013 during the presidency of Trigger Palin in 2052...

    Cerberus Capital selling largest firearm manufacturer

    I hope Marlin and Remington are bought by a decent firm that will go back to core strengths -- quality and decent prices. I'm glad they're out. Cerberus (they didn't know what the name meant when the firm started, btw) was fantastic at that coupe de grase with Chrysler after Daimler gave it...

    Choose a 2" or 4" barrel?

    Hey, all. I got my NYS CCW a few weeks ago. Since then, I bought a Heritage convertible .22 to practice up a bit (NY requires a permit to purchase even). Well, I want something a little bit bigger :) . I don't have a ton of cash, but about $250 to spend. One of my local dealers gets in the...

    Shipping my lower reciever to myself: shouldn't be this complicated

    Yeah, you're better off checking it. Mount the upper to it and check it back home again. Just show up at the airport early. Unless the lower is registered as a handgun (the vast majority are not), then it's a rifle. Even a stripped-out lower is a rifle. Doesn't matter if it has an upper or...

    UK Handgun Ownership/Carry

    Sorry, Sam, but flat murder numbers show nothing (as the population of Detroit is 713,000, and the U.K. is 62 million). You need to look at population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate U.K. murder rate per 100,000 people: 1.2 U.S. murder rate: 4.2...

    Sunday Night Football anti-gun sermon

    Yeah, you guys can stick the "stupid liberal can't understand logic" lines where the sun doesn't shine. I'm a registered Democrat, a bleeding-heart liberal and only dropped my NRA membership after they endorsed an AWB-signing governor for president (who would have flip-flopped again if an AWB...
