    Musharraf, the Taliban and the Second Amendment

    Musharraf declared martial law today in Pakistan, suspending the Pakistani constitution and declaring a state of emergency. He said he would not allow his country to 'commit suicide', referring to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. Now I understand Musharraf's very valid concern with Islamic...

    2A Supreme Court scenarios: 2008

    So it looks like we are going to have our day in court; as you know the DC handgun ban was ruled unconstitutional my the DC Federal Circuit court, forcing the Supreme Court to either let the ruling stand (Yay! 2A is ruled an individual right!) or hear the case. Since I see the Supreme Court...

    Tax evasion and civil liberties

    This story does not deal with guns directly, but it does have serious ramifications towards our other Constitutional rights. Most importantly, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/27/AR2007032702122.html?reload=true I am not...

    "Innocent Civillians"

    I have wondered a lot about this lately, and it has now come up again in this article where several U.S. Marines are charged with murder for gunning down "innocent civillians". http://apnews.myway.com/article/20061221/D8M5HQ901.html What, exactly, is an "innocent civillian"? This is an...

    Slide / barrel lockup question

    I have been wondering about an aspect of pistol design lately: Why are almost all semiauto pistols made nowadays designed with a single surface barrel / slide lock? This surface would be the front of the ejection port on the slide, and the chunk of metal on the barrel around the chamber. The...

    Shooting "proof rounds"

    "Proof Rounds" are cartidges loaded with extra powder, and thus produce higher than normal pressures in order to test the structural integrity of a gun. As a result, they also fire their bullets much faster than standard loads. My question: Since it is possible to load a 9mm "proof round" to...

    What would it take to make a viable third party?

    Presently, many argue that voting for a third party is a wasted vote. There is some merit to this arguement. But what would it take to create a viable third party? $100 million? $200 million? Several prominante Republicans leaving the Republican Party simultaneously to form this new party...

    We need more electoral layers in our elections

    As many of you know, the Democrats have been pushing to remove the Electoral College ever since the 2000 elections. They argue that a popular vote would make “every vote count”. Thankfully, they have made little progress. However, now that they control Congress, I suspect an attempt to change...

    My first election in Wyoming - and I voted for a Democrat?!

    -ewww! I feel so dirty! Truth be told, I have never voted for a Democrat before, ever! But Gov. (D) Dave Freudenthal received the NRA's blessing as he has a solid A record for defending the Second Amendment. Under his watch, the State of Wyoming has actually sued the BATF...and won! The...

    To answer Glummer

    Glummer posed an interesting question, somewhat off topic, but pertinent to today's politics, on the "Ask a Liberal" thread. I was going to answer it, but the thread got locked because of some 'low road' arguing... Anyhow, here was the question: First off, I am not a liberal (I consider...

    Illegal immigration debating tactics

    I recently had the opportunity to verbally duel it out with a few lefty types that were for illegal immigration. I thought I'd share my tactic for humiliating them. At first, I simply challanged them and expressed my disagreement with illegal immigration. This let them spout off all the "we...

    I picked up a Weatherby Supreme 3x9x40 Supreme riflescope at a gunshow for $15. It is beat up externally, deep scratches that make me wonder if someone put it on a gravel road and drove over it :eek: , but it had plastic transparent optics covers thast seem to have protected the lenses quite...

    Walther P99 LaserMax mod

    I have been frustrated by the lack of lasers available for the P99, which is a shame because I think the P99 is an excellent gun. It seems that the only lasers available for it are external bolt-on types, like the BA-7. While useful, this prevents a normal holster from being used and would alter...

    revolver vs semi auto efficiency

    In both the revolver and semi-auto some of the cartridge's energy is "wasted". For the revolver, some of the propellent gasses are lost due to the gap between cylinder and barrel. For the semi-auto, some energy is used for case ejection and feed of a new round. In general, what are these...
