    What's with all the guns?

    Because there are just so many interesting ways to all do one thing...send a piece(s) of lead(copper, steel, etc) down a tube to strike a target. The history of the firearm is a history of mechanical engineering. It is a history of the industrial revolution. It is a history of defense. It is...

    Old remington .22 -- what's it worth?

    That looks like a Remington Model 12C with an octagon barrel @24". I'm unsure of the muzzle device. Try this link: www.remington.com/aboutus/history/m12.htm edited to add: In good original condition it's value appears to be in the $350 to $400 range. Based solely on that and how your...

    Should the party be strong?

    Party politics are a long useless means of staffing governments. Furthermore, why must governments "get something done"? An old adage here in "the colonies" is; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Unfortunately, that reasoning doesn't sit well with politicians be they MPs or congresscritters...

    Poll: Has dicussion on the High Road changed your opinion about the Iraq war?

    Nope. Hasn't changed my mind a bit. I've been against this war since the beginning in Desert Storm. As to the discussions here at THR, I must say that they generally have a more civil tone than at similar sites on the web. Furthermore, the opinions expressed here are somewhat more articulate...

    Casting Question

    Larry, many thanks! They are indeed called jackets No wonder I couldn't find anything on them. They are associated more with swaging than with casting. That site you linked was just the ticket. Very helpful! Thanks, Chipper

    Casting Question

    What is the correct term for the copper jackets that cover lead bullets? Then where do I find them? I ask because I just came into a box of "jackets" for .50BMG bullets and I want to look up the price. Thanks, Chipper

    14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism

    For those who actually read the page at Rense.com you did see this at the bottom of the page correct? If you haven't been to the Liberty Forum it was started for the libertarian contingent of ex-FreePers who left Freeperville after the "Bush is now God" contingent took over at FreeRepublic...

    Tinfoil hat? Or just ashamed?

    I don't know about everyone else but I find that roof flashing works much better than plain, old, thin tinfoil. Besides, it comes in colors now so I can be stylish and protected!:D Chipper

    Tinfoil hat? Or just ashamed?

    Governments already have all my info and prints. A few corporations have all my info. My bank has all my info. Even so, no sense in making it easy for them, others or all the creepy-crawly things on the net to find my info and make useful connections for themselves to me. If I want to do...

    Interesting... How gun rights are linked to the Guantanamo detainees' lawsuit!

    Does anybody remember the FACT that there were NO US citizens when the constitution was written and ratified? There were NO US citizens until the alleged ratification (under duress in 1868) of the 14th amendment. People were citizens of their respective states. Those who were not citizens of any...

    Astounded at the themes

    Not that it will carry any weight but I must agree with labgrade. Licenses to carry are paying, asking or begging for permission from the state to exercise a pre-existing right. Moreover, the manner of carrying a firearm whether concealed or open is irrelevant when it comes to exercising a...

    Question about Dillon AT500 press....

    Northwest Cajun, Was it difficult to change the 500 shell plate to the 550B shell plate? Also, did you need to install the indexing mechanism? I was just wondering if it could be setup as something like a turret press without being fully automated. Chipper

    Question about Dillon AT500 press....

    Straight from the horse's mouth: http://dillonprecision.com/template/p.cfm?maj=18&dyn=1& (Empasis mine) Here's the upgrades and prices to make the AT500 an AT550B: http://dillonprecision.com/template/p.cfm?maj=19&min=0&dyn=1& I also have thought that this would be a good way to go for...

    Publicizing permit holders names (Indiana)

    This happened a couple of years back in the Elkhart Truth published in Elkhart, IN. In Indiana the names of license holders are public record. You can order a CD of the list from the Indiana State Police. My attitudes remain the same...GOOD! This gives a clear picture of exactly how many...

    Why anarchy is bad.

    At what time did anarchy exist here? After Rome faded into history the Roman Catholic Church provided rule where no "central government" existed. In effect the church was the central government. Yet at no time was there anarchy. There was, no doubt, confusion and chaos which was exacerbated...

    Woman Gets Criminal Record for Petting Dog

    This kind of thinking is born of ignorance. Ignorance of a little thing called property rights. Any and all attempts to ignore or thwart property rights erodes liberty and promotes chaos when those attempts are successful. No one has a right to be on my property unless I grant that right. Ms...

    Why anarchy is bad.

    Interesting line. The real problem however, is simply living your life. Threats ALWAYS exist in one form or another. Mountain lions, bears, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, meteors, hail, virii, bacteria, falling and breaking bones. Which of these can you work and plan for? After...
