    California lawmakers pass new semi-automatic weapons ban

    I seem to remember in Australia when they imposed a semi-auto ban, the number of weapons turned in was less than 1/3 of the number estimated to be "in circulation", and even states with full registration still had compliance rates of less than 40%. Suppose that in California somehow no...

    Why no Lever/Pump-Action Service Rifle in WW1?

    To follow Eric's hijacking, actually the Remington Model 8 became the inspiration for the most famous and widely produced assault rifle ever made. Kalishnikov even admitted that the Model 8 was his inspiration when he designed the AK-47. Just look at the receiver and the safety lever of the...

    Grave or foxhole, version 2

    "...just because it hasn't happened yet." "...I think that genocide in the US is a wee bit far-fetched." Hmmm, have you asked any American with a heritage that includes Shoshone, Iroquois, Cherokee, Shawnee, Sioux, Apache, Nez Perce, etc.? My own heritage has a history of suffering...
