Because decreasing crime was neither the actual goal or a possible side effect of said illegitimate regulations.

I see your point but Joe Random Criminal, JR. doesn’t get his guns or ammo from a shop. How does he know of the existence of a bound book or 4473 and where to likely find them?

Alphabet agency break in? Criminals couldn’t care less about the bound book…

I realize it’s a stretch in some cases, but in the right geographical area I could see it being a possibility. Anyhow, I have to loosen the tin foil hat a shade, it’s leaving imprints. But still, expect the unexpected.

Tighten your tin foil hats for a moment and speculate with me. Liquefied CO2 pipelines will be run through lower lying politically red areas. Valves will be installed at intervals, remotely operable of course. CO2, as mentioned, is heavier and seeks its level much as water does, and is an...

Could even add a life raft and a fishing pole, to make it a touch more sporting.

Sadly both of those are .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), aka .22 Magnum. As far as I know only Aguila and Winchester make the stuff I’m looking for… and not all the time either. https://www.aguilaammo.com/products/22-win-auto-limited-edition-for-the-winchester-rifle-model-1903

Close but no cigar. .22 WRF is not the same as .22 Win Auto, and won’t shoot out of the Model 1903, sadly.

As a part of my grandfather’s estate, we have inherited a very nice Winchester Model 1903 .22 rifle. Sadly, this uses the very rare .22 Winchester Auto round, which is essentially a .22 Magnum but a shorter case. Looking for any and all .22 Win Auto ammo (and rifles!). Anyone out there have...

Undocumented means won’t be missed, n’est-ce pas?

That’ll certainly work. I was halfway expecting some joker to post up a matchlock, but flintlocks are fine too!

Wow old thread. I know friends and family that carry in church, and clergy that have organized armed security staff from among their congregations. Not surprisingly, these staff members include active duty military and law enforcement as well as appropriately equipped civilians. Houses of...

I want the 6.5 stuff including dies. Do you have any idea if the milsurp stuff is reloadable?

I’ve got a clove or six of garlic and a wooden stake that says otherwise. Live in NY so too poor for silver bullets, natch.

Looking into this now, I originally had thought that blackpowder would be gentler but further research indicates that the specified blackpowder loads are on par pressure wise with more modern smokeless loads (for Trapdoors obviously, not for lever actions or Ruger #1’s…). Rabbit hole indeed...

This one has a very nice bore. Clean, shiny, no dark spots, rifling looks sharp. I am at the edge of the rabbit hole now, boy for a nearly 150 year old rifle there’s a lot of current info out there. On the 50-70 note, I had a box of ancient .50-90 cartridges I found in a house clean out. Lost...

55 grains in that case, plus BP likes to be compressed ever so lightly to burn well… I assume I need a filler? I wanted to replicate the cavalry carbine load, 55 grains of BP (can I use equivalent Triple 7 or the like?) and a 405 grain 16/1 or 20/1 lead/tin cast bullet. Have heard these are...

So, anyone else here into archaic long arms? I have inherited a very shooter grade but complete 1873 Trap Door Springfield carbine (actually manufactured in 1877 as far as we can get on the serial number) and want to play with it. Do’s, don’ts, tips or tricks? I’m planning on loading up some...

Been bit by plenty of ticks, as I’m sure the beef I’m eating has also. Not showing any allergic response, also not dead. Ergo, I don’t care. Next?

You can’t make it 9 hours without water or food, you’re either dehydrated, hypoglycemic, diabetic (or some other legit health thing)…. Or you’re a weak willed schlub. I do this frequently, not for any other particular reason than that’s just how the day goes sometimes.

Coke, whiskey and a gun? Sounds like post range day chill… oh wait, we weren’t talking about Coca Cola were we?

So has Minnesota. To the point where it is more likely than not that a tractor trailer registered in Minnesota is piloted by a Somali national who speaks little to no English.

More embarrassing than intentional? What the fuck does that word salad even mean? That it was embarrassing for China, intentional on their part (no shit), or intentionally embarrassing? Makes no sense. Go fall up a flight of stairs, jello brain.

I used to know some folks in the bulk printing biz… I hear that worked well for the Donkeys.

.303 British brass can be turned into .410 shells?! Good to know…

Only a problem til you cross the NY border… and maybe not even then, referencing @spat’s post. My brother in NH got my grandfather’s registered handguns when he passed… drove down and picked them up. Local sheriff came by a day later to “check” on them and was told they were inherited by a...

I didn’t mean it like I think you’re taking it. I believe that was indeed the founders intent and that should be the stopping point in attempting to interpret the clear plain language of the 2A. Apologies if I was unclear… Edit: probably should have said “stop at” rather than “stop with”… might...

Let’s just stop with “All gun laws are unconstitutional”. I believe that would have been the intent of the founders, who probably had no clue that their simply worded second amendment would be so rigorously and systematically misinterpreted, misapplied and outright ignored.

Come Mr. Reaper, do your thing!! You know, the thing?!?!

The counties being sued by NYC should ignore them. What are they going to do, send NYPD up here to arrest the county executives and sheriffs? Ignoring stuff works out pretty well for them, let’s do that too.

No cars for me, but Lear jets for you? Fuck you entitled meat sacks. You all look the same from six feet subsurface, here’s hoping you get there soon. Come take my car and your progress earthward will accelerate dramatically.

Probably. But why? Ukraine miss a payment to Hunter or something?

It would be interesting to repurpose the camera gear and reinstall it. Maybe a public web cam.

Can verify increased sheriff presence on Front St. I take deliveries that way with some regularity and have noticed several sheriff vehicles hanging around. One was even parked in the loading dock I had to deliver to, though he moved when he saw me coming.

Ridiculous. He appeals to nobody, except perhaps rabid never Trumpers who also live in NJ and have voted for him before. It’s a publicity stunt meant to get his political career back on track, nothing more substantial than that.

Lots here in Broome, if the young male demographic is to be believed.

And the greater Binghamton area…

I’m about positive my relative didn’t turn his in either. He didn’t have anything good to say about politicians, regardless of party. He owned several fast boats and nobody will confirm but there is speculation that he moved things for people out on Long Island, who didn’t want their business...

An extended family member of mine had one, before GCA came down and he panicked and got rid of it (would never mention how). He has since passed away, sadly. I often wonder if it’s in the walls of some old family home for future generations to discover.

The only thing out of that sentence that applies to Sotomayor is Latina. Wise, empathetic? Definitely debatable.

I never wear stuff like that, but I’d make an exception for one with either Cessnas or bombers on it!

I was, and I had bad information as to the number of people and further, vehicles. I would like to state though, that even given the number of people and vehicles, and the fact that they continued up a posted driveway, still does not warrant a belligerent initial response. I am as privacy...

I’m not so sure. A single occupant vehicle doing a u turn in the end of a driveway should not, in any rational human, generate a fight response. Nor should a uniformed delivery driver in a marked and very well known style of vehicle (UPS, FedEx). Nor should a driver in a personal vehicle who is...

Sorry, it’s not the same dude. Anyone with half an eye can see it.

People are fucking unhinged since COVID. I swear there are long term mental effects from the combination of bullshit that went on. I was a UPS delivery driver and occasionally work Amazon Flex for fun money. This kind of thing is all over the Amazon forums in particular since Flex workers are...

These driver aids that are recently turning up in cars have been in commercial trucks for a few years now, much to the irritation of those of us driving said trucks. Several of the trucks I drive regularly have forward radar and cameras, which are able to steer and brake the vehicle to maintain...

Long haul is the province of mega carriers who typically pay the worst. Short haul is where the money is, dedicated accounts, LTL and local delivery, and so on. I am local delivery and I make considerably more per week than the majority of OTR drivers. I don’t expect meaningful competition...

So when do the beheadings start? By the standard of the French Revolution we are far overdue…

The downside to all of these, is the learning and experience curve. That becomes tricky to negotiate when you’re already maxing your DOT clock in trucking to make ends meet. Doesn’t leave much time during business hours to come up to speed in another profession.
