I don't have an M&P (yet :evil:) but my Glock 19 will close on the top round every time, and I've come to like it and prefer it. But I REALLY wail on the mags, I can even get my 1911 to auto close maybe half the time. I've just kind of trained myself to give two HARD whacks to the mag and then...

I don't even really like the term Modern Rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle all that much. As some have alluded to, they really aren't all that modern. Plus I feel like it plays into the "new advances in weaponry that have made it too dangerous for people to be trusted with such weapons" type...

So it looks like the rehearing was denied! Woot http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/fdocs/docs.fwx?submit=rss_sho&shofile=12-1269_003.pdf

Done. Thanks for posting direct links to the witness slips for each. Very helpful.

I'm not sold on the use of the word modern. I feel like antis will jump on that with the notion that such weapons are these new innovations that are part of some scary new world. Plus the AR platform doesn't seem all that modern to me. It's 50 years old right? How about we make the M stand...

Oooh sweet. Obviously intended for those with the hobby of BEING AWESOME!!!

I'm crying foul on this. Lay off the man's wife/marriage. Anyway, in all of this recent craziness, Walmart has been pretty good about keeping the shelves stocked and my ammo supply flowing. Gotta give 'em props, even if they don't actually have rocket launchers...

So do you mean "keep guns from getting into the hands" of ALL bad guys or SOME bad guys? The question of whether a law or policy is worth it if it won't prevent ALL cases of what it is designed to protect against seems to be something that a lot of gun owners and 2nd amendment supporters...

Yes, and do we even look alike? Actually I assume you mean that this could be exploited in some form of straw purchaser arrangement? Is that what you're getting at? I don't see that as being any different than any other form of security that uses a photo id. If you have a fake ID that can be...

Ah, gotcha. I see. Yeah my last name isn't all that common. Actually, it occurs to me that a "stranger repeating your SS#" to someone that is hopefully with NICS is what usually happens now at most gun dealers, unless you personally know the employee that is helping you. But hey, with my...

I just did a 4473 form and NICS check a few weeks ago and didn't give my SS# and it was fine. Is that not normal? I didn't think that was necessary.

Ok, fair enough. Phone only then? Smartphone app?

Just wanted to say thanks to ATLDave for a great post. And that if someone would've asked me before, I would've probably guessed that I would be most similar to sight picture #2 in the image above, but to my surprise, after a little dry fire practice last night, I seem to want to actually...

In my fantasy land where this law exists you get it from the NICS system, which has been modified to allow anyone free access. You put in your info similar to how you do for the 4473 form and if you check out in NICS it spits out this Freedom ID. And I'd be all for allowing exemptions for...

Well keep in mind that the ONLY time ANY background check is at all useful is in a transaction between a law-abiding gun owner/gun dealer and an unknown buyer. If the seller is a criminal than obviously any law is moot and if the transaction is between two known parties than obviously a...

Ok, how about this idea. (I will probably regret this) We get rid of the 4473 forms, and replace it with a 'pre-approval' process. In this case, the onus is on the buyer to get the check done. Anyone would be able to call or log in online to a NICS site and provide their information and be...

OP, you have made some very good points about the differences between guns and cars, specifically with regard to how they are operated on public roads. I thank you, and will be sure to use these points in the future when I discuss gun control and compare cars to guns. :evil:

So from what I'm reading here, the antis are still using the "allows shooting from the hip" arguments? I feel like we need to have the pro-gun people jump all over these. I mean, obviously I'd rather not have anyone shooting at me, but if someone is, I'd much rather it be from the hip. Maybe...

I think I understand what you're saying but I just don't agree with it. To me, the position of a mass killer in a presumably gun-free zone with little chance of resistance and a backpack full of extra mags and probably a spare gun or three is in a way different position than a homeowner in...

Ugh, this "streets of our cities" thing drives me nuts. And I know they're not your words, Alexander, but I've heard it so many times lately, even from Obama himself, that I just seem to react to them. Can be infuriating, because these weapons are not "on the streets." Everyone seems to know...
