    Burning Powder or Burning Crosses -- It's all the Same

    Marc Lamont Hill just informed me that gun owners are more likely to be racists: http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/archive/segment/gun-ownership-and-racist-attitudes-are-linked-study-finds/527aa572fe34440c26000296

    NIB ... sort of

    I reside in a gun-unfriendly area in a liberal state. Given my location, I have a limited selection and must suffer high prices when it comes to acquisitions. For this reason, I sometimes purchase on the Internet. Recently, I picked up a new S&W E-series 1911 on GunBroker that was advertised...

    Obama rained on my shopping spree

    I am one of those unfortunate people who is having my privately purchased health insurance policy cancelled because of the Obamacare Law. I an self employed and pay for my own insurance. I was told by my carrier, Blue Cross / Blue Shield, that my policy was being dropped because I purchased it...

    We are close to Killing UBC. Act Now!

    The votes for the Manchin-Toomey Universal Background Check are not there, but the Democrats and anti-gun groups are pushing hard to get them TODAY! The "Mom's Demand Action" group just released an add blitz showing kids with so-called "assault weapons" to push Senators to vote against your...

    Oversized LCIs Suck Sour Lemons

    I'm disappointed in Ruger. Two guns I was excited about are the Mark III Hunter .22 LR and the LCP .380 AUTO. Then I noticed Ruger made a change from the Mark II by inserting the BIG, gaudy loaded-chamber indicator (LCI) in the Mark III. Well at least the LCP is available without the LCI...

    Chicago Special Election for (Corrupt) Jessie Jackson Junior's Seat

    Any news of today's election results? I know Mayor Bloomberg poured about $2 million of his own money into Chicago to keep Debbie Halvorson from winning because she's not anti-gun enough for Michael. I would be pleased if Bloomberg lost his money trying to buy political influence in another city.

    Help With Value of Hi-Power

    I was interested in a Browning Hi Power that a gun shop owner has in his display case from his personal collection. It's a "make-me-an-offer" gun as opposed to an "on-sale" item. The gun is immaculate with no signs of bluing wear. It was made at Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium and has...

    Speed Loader Snags on Grips (S&W 60)

    OK, so here's the skinny: A female friend of mine picked up a S&W model 60 primarily for home protection. I gave her an HKS speed loader as a gift, but it doesn't work. The cylinder on the model 60 opens really close to the frame, and the rubber grips are wide enough that you can't come...

    Siblings battle over father's gun collection on Judge Judy

    I stumbled across this jem by accident and thought forum members might be entertained. If you full-size the video and pause at time index 3:01, you can read the models of the guns that were in the father's collection. According to the defending daughter, she simply gave away the gun collection...

    You can't own that -- it's dangerous!

    I was wondering about firearms that forum members would like to acquire but are prevented from doing so by a law that you believe serves little purpose. I'm not talking about full-auto, grenade launchers, and stuff like that. I mean a gun that is no more dangerous than the average gun, yet...

    Two Questions for AR-15 Aficionados

    I am navigating the path toward my first AR-15 build, and two questions have presented themselves: (1) I would like to have a bolt carrier group that is as close as possible to being an authentic representation to a true military M-16 while still being completely legal. It is my understanding...

    Stock Rejuvenation

    Have any of you used Howard's Feed-N-Wax? To hear some tell it, this stuff is some mystical concoction that the pharaohs used on their gun stocks. I'm tempted, but would like to hear some opinions.

    Only 10 left: 5" GP-100

    For anyone who is interested, there is a special run of Ruger GP-100 revolvers with a 5" barrel (normally they are only available with a 4" or 6" barrel). These revolvers are available only through Davidson's Gallery of Guns, and there were only 10 left as of this morning. They will probably...

    Springfield M1A: number of USGI parts versus age

    I was looking at a Springfield M1A manufactured just before Clinton's so-called "Assault Weapons Ban," with a serial number in the 81K range. My question concerns the number of USGI parts used by Springfield in assembling a rifle that is 17 years old. Back then, were all the parts USGI? If...

    Value of a Police Positive in 32-20?

    What would the value be of a really nice, almost pristine, condition 32-20 Colt Police Positive with a 4" barrel. Local shop has one in the display case.

    What Colt revolver would you go with if you couldn't afford a Python but wanted Colt represented in your collection? How do you feel about the Police Positive as one such alternative?

    Opinions sought on potential Spike's AR

    For an AR with a mid-length gas system, how does everyone feel about the following option from Spike's? Reasonable quality? Reasonable price? http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/st15-midlength-le-carbine-p-443.html

    Question about soft-case sizes

    I was looking at the Ruger embroidered soft handgun cases manufactured by Allen. They come in 13" and 15" sizes (see link below). My questions are: (1) Will the 13" fit the Redhawk with 5.5" barrel? (2) Will the 15" fit a S&W 29 with 8.75" barrel? (3) Will the 15" fit a Super Redhawk with...

    I'm confused

    Mayor Daley and Bill Brady said that Chicago would plummet into murderous chaos if the 1982 gun ban was reversed, yet for 2010, Chicago had the lowest murder rates in 45 years. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2011/01/chicago-murder-rate-the-lowest-since-1965.html
