    Should these guns be severely restricted?

    No, but perhaps boldfaced enlarged fonts, or posts written entirely in CAPSLOCK should be...

    Is Google anti-military/Vets/memorial day?

    If you look through all the Google holiday doodles over the years (seen here) you'll see that they don't do the all of same holidays from year to year. They also have a tendency towards international, rather than U.S. specific, holidays. The doodles are just a fun occassional diversion, not a...

    The Guns of Firefly?

    This is exactly why the roleplaying game is called "Serenity" and not "Firefly." It is also why the book details certain non-player charcaters in broad descriptions instead of calling Badger, for example, by name.

    The Great Debate: The Mentally Ill and Guns

    rainbowbob, you are looking at the requirements for obtaining a purchase permit, not for a license to carry a concealed pistol. The statute to which I refer is MCL 28.425b(7)(l) [lower case L there, not an I or 1), which states: "The applicant does not have a diagnosed mental illness at...

    US gov. paying for substandard ammo for Afghan military

    I beleive a man named Murphy once has something to say about the "lowest bidder" and military equipment.

    Encounter with Anti-CCW

    My issue with the cop in the OP is not ignorance, it is arrogance.

    Intruder Shot During A Frightening Home Invasion

    A violent attack, apparently random, the focus on one target and not the other person in the room, the plate glass window juming, and the mad dash across a highway... I'm no expert, but I suspect our Suspect might have been guilty of violating some narcotics laws too.

    Kids and real guns!

    If only there was some kind of association on a national level that knew about rifles, handguns, and other firearms... and wouldn't it be even better if this group put togetehr some sort of special program to teach kids as young as preschool what to do around guns. If only...

    Encounter with Anti-CCW

    sacp81170a, I wasn't intending to paint all LEOs with the same brush. The vast majority of LEOs I "met" through THR or similar forums have always been above board, nice folks. But there will always be a certain degree of... prudent distrust... I think thats the best way to say it. There will...

    Kids and real guns!

    Funny. I've got a copy of the NRA's Personal Defense in the Home right here next to my computer. The NRA is considered by most to be expert on this subject... and they say no such thing.

    Encounter with Anti-CCW

    It is a police officers job to uphold the law, protect the peace, and arrest suspected lawbreakers. It is not a police officers job to give legal opinions, nor are they qualified to do so. The "unauthorized practice of law" (UPL) is prohibited in every state that I am aware of, either by...

    Encounter with Anti-CCW

    This, right here, is the number one thing that causes me not to like cops. I have a ton of respect for them being willing do do the job, I have a ton of respect for the training, the risk, and the thanklessness they get for little to no reward. But police officers are in no way qualified to...

    22-MO finds gun, kills self!

    School, work, visting a freind... My daughter is 21 months, and it's hardly unusual for my wife no to be home at that hour. The article does say that the child's father was home. Oh, come on! The fact that kids wake up in the middle of the night is like a fundamental law of physics. Gravity...

    March 18 D.C. Heller - Anyone going?

    June is a fair bet, but July isn't unreasonable. Frankly, I wouldn't want them to rush to publish on this, or any other, case.

    My response from Senator Barbara Boxer

    The dirty little secret of busy people is that they staff out most of their corresspondence... Okay, it's not much of a secret. Anyhow, lawyer, doctors, politicos, business executives, so on and so forth have people who write letters for them. Now, I make a pretty decent wage as a legal...

    Brady Bill on Gun Control

    No, it was a cheap and meaningless pander to the anti-guns and the apathetic, so that politicians coudl say they "Got Things Done" and that they were "For The Children."

    Brady Bill on Gun Control

    Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) 100% Brady Support (10 votes) Barack Obama (D-IL) 100% Brady Support (1 vote) John McCain (R-AZ) 17% Brady Support (29 votes) So, yeah, McCain's closer to being "our guy" than the other two... But, the votes where he did side with Brady are pretty telling...

    The Great Debate: The Mentally Ill and Guns

    ETA: Gosh-darn, I posted from my husband's computer and forgot to log him out and log me in. This post is by BridgeWalker. I really didn't My doctor is not responsible for my health. I am. I go to a priest if I want to get married, a doctor if I want a medication. The priest has...
