If the projectile was pushed out, then the primer went off and the only explanation is that your powder charge was missing or was insufficient.

Are you using the dawn+lemishine recipe? I've only recently switched to wet tumbling but I haven't experienced any tarnishing at all, my brass comes out looking brand new. After I rinse it thoroughly, I spin it to remove as much water as I can, then lay out on paper (flat on side, 1 layer thick...

Agreed, I don't believe in arbitrary restrictions either, tho regulating the use of such items would be in order because we can't have people just showing up to a national forest and firing their recoilless rifle :) I'd like to see shooting clubs with private land sufficient in size and...

I'm quite overwhelmed by (and very grateful for) your responses. Seems like CZ455 is the consensus recommendation, so I'll now start shopping around. Also need to decide on wood vs synthetic stock, kinda leaning towards synthetic as they're more resilient. Let's see if I can now find a decent...

I'm looking for a nice 22LR rifle I could put a small 4x-6x scope on for some plinking/target fun when camping. Most folks I spoke to recommended either Marlin 60 or Ruger 10/22 but both of these are semi-automatic. I'd love to find a bolt action rifle instead. Am I crazy to think such a beast...

I was recently looking to add a non-Glock in 9mm and was deciding between CZ75 BD and SigSauer P226 Mk-25. I shot these two and a bunch of others at the range (XD, S&W) and ended up getting G19 Gen 4 as I shot it best and it fits in my hands so well despite having large paws. I've shot 1000+...

Calling me "anti" in this context is probably the worst slur, given what that represents to folks here. Save for a few exceptions (Sam comes to mind, perhaps you), all I got is vitriol.

Not sure why I expected a rational discussion on this subject. Lots of folks seem to be in denial of what's going on outside the NRA echo chamber, and when a dissenting voice is introduced it's quickly shouted down with sloganeering, pithy quotes, strawmen, condescension, name calling, etc...

...and you can buy a gun in a private sale while not being allowed possession but there are legal repercussions, so what exactly is your point? Your right is intact, just comes with legal repercussions, correct?

Gun violence results in over 11,000+ dead Americans each year. How many deaths are caused by fist violence?

You, on the other hand, are a paragon of good listening and reasoned argument (and I'll ignore your "anti" slur because, frankly, I don't feel the need to prove myself to you or anyone else). I participate in this debate in good faith, and I trust Sam is, too. I couldn't say as much for you or...

1) Public health and safety considerations curb your 1A right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. 2) I'm not sure it is, but its scale (11,000+ homicides involving a firearm per year, roughly 20x the OECD average even after accounting for population size) warrants a deeper look and the data...

If you want to argue that studies may be biased, that's a valid argument to make, and there are things we can do to alleviate that. We can also make sure that the conclusions are tempered with considerations for human & civil rights etc. What I can't comprehend is the denial that gun violence...

I claim no such foreknowledge. All I'm saying is that we have enough gun-related violent crime to be able to study it and derive statistically meaningful data. And if you're so sure that no link exists, then why not have the data confirm it for us so that we can forever put that to rest?

Repeat it all you want but that won't make it true. How can you be so positive that there isn't a psychological/mental health connection between those? Hogwash, indeed...

We first started studying heart disease because we noticed that a lot of people died from heart failure. We've since learned of the myriad of different heart diseases and study them in detail, resulting in huge strides in treatments. Same goes for cancer: we now know of more strains and types of...

Well, you got me there: I do believe that violent criminals forfeit some of their civil rights, one of which is possession of firearms. If that makes me a gun grabber, then so be it. And I'm glad you trotted out the "automobile/swimming pool violence" canard because we do study those things...

I don't give a crap about her either, so I guess we're square. You would make a more meaningful, constructive contribution to this debate if you tried to make an argument on merits and facts rather than trying to come up with most condescending insults and most creative ways to disparage my...

I don't think it necessarily is different, nor do I think that individuals prone to violence should be treated differently just because they used guns or bats (in fact, you may argue that latter are possibly even more psychotic, but let's not get distracted). Also, we need to narrow down what...
