    Trump on Guns?

    Is Trump a gun-friendly candidate? I can't find much about his views on 2A issues and like much of what he says, he seems inconsistent on the issue. Does anyone have any insight into Trump and his stance on firearms?

    What's the next shoe to drop in Federal legislation?

    I fear that something is coming on the federal level soon - within the next year or two - and I'm wondering what it will be. Seems likely to me that the next piece to get pushed through, at federal level, would be a universal background check mandate. This seems like the lowest hanging fruit...

    Liberal Friend's brilliant idea RE: gun insurance

    he thinks all gun owners should have liability insurance in case their gun magically goes off and shoots their kid or their kids' friends while they are playing at said gun owner's home. I think it's a horrible idea and to start forcing people to insure a constitutional right is something i...

    Open Carry Texas

    What do you guys think of this? http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2014/05/theres_a_schism_in_texas_open.php I'm of the perhaps unpopular opinion that these kinds of demonstrations do more harm to our cause than good. These guys walked into a Jack in the Box with AR-15's slung...

    Is this the most Annoying Anti-Gun Statement?

    I hear it all the time and it makes me wanna slap the person: "you know you are 43x more likely to use that gun against yourself or a loved one than you are on an intruder or in self-defense" I've heard variations but it's obviously the same talking point... It's such a dumb statement I...

    Why would background checks require gun registration?

    could someone explain this to me? Why would universal background checks require people to register their guns?

    Tell me about H&K Pistols

    I was looking at one of these the other day, and it's a really nice gun. Obviously, like other HK products, it's incredibly pricey for a polymer pistol. The dealer was asking $1199 for it. At that price, I can get a really nice semi custom 1911...

    Carrying in the Workplace (No CHL)

    I have a good friend who just started a job in a very dangerous area of town. It's a restaurant, and he's the Manager, so he's often closing late at night and is the last person to leave. Due to the fact that he's handling large amounts of cash each night and his office is pretty close to a back...

    Going Turkey hunting for first time ever

    I'm going on an Osceola Turkey hunt in Florida in a few weeks and I have never been Turkey Hunting and I have no clue what I need to bring for this. Any recommendations for a noob on what kind of gear, guns, other items I need to bring? Please consider that this will be in Florida, if that...

    Question about making your own guns

    Let's say you have a machine shop you use for manufacturing some other product but you decide you can use said machines to fashion a lower for an AR. I know lowers are considered "firearms" and manufacturers must stamp them with a serial number if they are to be sold. Well what if you weren't...

    NRA Hypocrisy

    Maybe you guys can help me with this one, but I have a friend who is anti-gun and he brought it to my attention that the NRA headquarters in VA doesn't allow visitors to carry guns on the premises - despite VA being a CCW state - but does allow the employees to carry guns. I researched this and...

    Why does Holder still have a job?

    whatever happened with all the heat that was on him following F&F? wasn't he on the verge of being thrown in jail? It seems like all this just disappeared.

    Ever successfully persuaded an anti?

    my roommate is an anti who is totally opposed to guns and makes this known to me via heated discussions on the topic. He knows nothing of the current laws in place, often arguing that we should be doing things that are already in effect in our laws. He then grabs at straws and says we need to...

    I like gun buybacks

    Now hear me out... The people who are taking their guns to these things are the people who obviously don't care about guns or are really hurting for money and decide to take their guns to see what they can get for them. Perhaps it's an old lady whose husband died and left her all his guns but...

    How many Automatic Weapons were there

    when the ban went into effect? Someone just told me a ban on AR's would work, citing how few crimes are committed with full-auto firearms today because of the NFA ban that occurred decades ago. My thought is that there are tons more AR15's in circulation than there were full-auto firearms at...

    Ever heard this Anti-Gun Argument?

    It goes something like this: Statistically a gun that you own is more likely to be used against your family or loved ones than it is against an intruder/criminal/attacker, etc... I have heard it spouted in various places and on various internet communities. Is there validity to this...

    We are going to have to give up something

    I am pretty sure the NRA is meeting with lawmakers now, and over the past few days. In my opinion, the lawmakers said they would support the NRA and vice-versa until something like this happens, in which case the NRA would have to support some sort of legislation to control firearms. Let me be...

    Thoughts on Background Checks for private sales?

    I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on laws that may require private gun sales to be contingent upon background checks of the buyer. In other words, if I - a private seller - were to sell a gun to a friend/acquaintance, I would have to have a background check run on that person before the sale...

    2 Police Officers (Female) shot in Manchester

    Just read this horrible story about 2 female cops shot in Manchester, UK while investigating a reported burglary. Of course, police in the UK (and perhaps several other Euro countries) do not carry guns. How does this make sense at all? Basically sent two women to their death with absolutely no...
