Thanks, but I don't really have anything that those would even fit on. None of my rifles have accessory rails on them.

I think there is unconscious racism on the part of most gun grabbers. I don't think they are overtly racist (not anymore, at least), but it's quite telling that in the 70's there was a huge push to ban handguns because of violence in the cities. Then came the 80's and "white flight" left the...

More like, "guy trying to commit murder shot and killed". Nothing of value was lost that day, except perhaps a piece of underwear. Scary shit!

Depends. Did he shoot the TV?

It's a stupid proposal, but the headline is exagerating. So no, it would not require doctors to "document" gun owners.

Have a rifle with an adjustable cheek rest? Sorry! That reduces an "other dimension" so it's illegal now. :P

Here is Texas your DL number is printed on the CCW license itself.

Because I know lots of liberal gun owners, so I know there are at least some who are open to reason on the topic of guns. Just the other day on that same website I had people telling me I was right to have a concealed carry permit because of increased violence against LGBT people. Frame things...

Nope, they don't need to register guns for this. They are going to create a "no-gun" database of people who don't have guns. If you're on the no-gun list, then you can't buy ammo. What's that? You say you're on the list by mistake? OK, we'll get that cleared up. Mind you, there's a backlog...

I got into it with some antis over on fark.com about this today. They just derp derp derp on about how evil guns are without understanding a damned thing.

Guns for me but not for thee. The battle cry of anti's everywhere.

I really don't get the fear of people enforcing Sharia. If anyone actually tried to do that it would be massively illegal and the cops would come down on it like a ton of bricks, and so far no one has tried to do it. And considering that Muslims are only about 1% of the population it's not...

I hadn't seen the NY1 story. Thanks! Makes it sound like any other community patrol group out there. In the 90's I was part of Q Patrol, a group that patrolled the gay bar neighborhood in Houston. We weren't there to force people to be gay, or such bizarre thing, we were just there to watch...

I'm not seeing this reported on any site that isn't obviously biased against Muslims in the first place. Until a reputable news source pops up with it I'm calling this just another example of scaremongering since none of the "sources" seem to care about the Jewish and asian community patrols in...

One thing to keep in mind about cops is that they've all signed up to enforce the law, and most of them are going to do so regardless of whether they personally agree with the law or not. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the exact circumstances.

This. I don't have a problem with cops having good gear. What I have a problem with is the idea that cops should have more rights than others.

Police officers being treated like ordinary people? This is an outrage!

I'm not talking about the law, I'm talking about the actual court order. The thing is that the law doesn't say you can seize guns from third parties, and it doesn't describe the gun owner as having done anything that would meet the requirements to issue an order against him.

What I want to know is if the law was actually applied as written or not. Unfortunately the only news reports I find are light on details, so I have not been able to, for example, find a copy of the actual order on a court website.

As a mod I read almost every post. It seems pretty active to me.

My mini-14 was the first rifle I ever purchased and I've never regretted it. It's blued with a wood stock, just because I like that look. I've put an Accu-Strut on it, a Harris bipod, Nikon 3-9x40 scope, and have a bunch of 30 round magazines. The only thing I don't like about it is that the...

There's a guy at the Liberal Gun Club who likes to say that a lot, too. It is indeed fun to shoot things.

UPDATED: Police, school officials avert Middlebury middle school shooting | Addison County Independent The police confiscated weapons that were allegedly about to be stolen from the rightful owner after they had the kids in custody. The way I read the Vermont statute, the person prohibited...

Meh. Tracking those doesn't really influence the statistics. Here's the actual numbers https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76;jsessionid=2D2359BFBFBD8649C4451BEAFF58442E It's only 553 in the war/legal group, and it's clearly marked as such. Ignore the media and pay attention to...

Respectfully, I disagree. Being gay or trans is not a choice. It's something you are born with.

I'd be quite happy if the government got out of the marriage business entirely, or at least only offered to record marriages that are presented to them, regardless of who it is that got married.

I see it as a right because we observe in nature that many animals, including humans, form lifelong pair bonds. The care for each other, defend each other, and remain sexually monogamous with each other. (Not all animals do this, of course, just many.) Since this is behavior that is...

I tend to agree. I think "hate crimes" ought to be tracked for statistical purposes, just because it's useful to gather data on *why* crime is being committed, but I don't think we need special punishments for people based on their motivation. The criminal act itself is what should be illegal...

I left him out because I was only listing attacks by people on the right. Mateen was an Islamic radical - that's not left or right, it's opposed to both. But sure, there are other attacks that were not made by right wing people. Joe Strack, for example, the guy who flew a plane into the IRS...

This is why I'm here, to try and mend some of the division.

That was someone else, not me. It might be, but it is no more of an infringement than saying the landlord can't refuse black people, and we have laws that forbid that which no one seems to be complaining about. Why should being LGBT get less protection than race? Marriage most certainly is...

Saw that. I think gun owners, and really any merely exercising their rights, should also be protected from shit like this.

Laissez-faire - Wikipedia It's a pretty old and common term. Gay man evicted from apartment for being gay: Hateful landlord caught on video kicking out a tenant because he’s gay A reminder of what balck people had to put up with before the courts ruled discrimination was illegal.

Let's stick to the issue of serving gay people for sake of an example. Yes, there should be punishment for business owners who refuse to serve gay people, and it should be the exact same punishment for refusing to serve black people, or refusing to serve Jews, etc. Those punishments are...

I call myself "liberal" by default, because it's the most well understood term. I would prefer to call myself something like a "social libertarian". I don't agree with the laissez-faire economics espoused by the Libertarian party, but I do hold individual liberty to be a guiding principle...

You believe my rights have been established, but I disagree. This is a point of contention between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives seem to take a much more limited view of what constitutes "rights".

I assure you I'm not here to troll. Yes, I'm a liberal as the others already know. I like to think of myself as being here on a foreign exchange program.

I didn't know there were other themes, but I like the default theme anyway.

I do want to fundamentally change the US. In particular, I'd like to have the same rights that everyone else has, which efinitely wasn't the case for most of my life and there are still areas where I don't have the same rights as everyone else. - Up until the early 80's gay people were...

I just picked the most recent events, and if you'll notice antifa was not the target of any of those attacks.

Thank you!

In my avatar image and in several other peoples avatar I see a pulsing green dot at the top left corner. What does that mean?

If this thread existed on the LGC forum? Well, I'm a moderator there now, so I can speak with a bit of authority on that. Podmonkey would have been banned almost immediately, because his posts call for violence and that's a violation of the LGC forum rules. Steal2B *might* have been banned...

Gohmert is just kind of generically a nutjob. I hear about him a lot because he's a Texas rep. “You mention Orwell, it also reminds me of another George—George Soros,” Gohmert said, making a clumsy transition during his segment. “Because Google is born in a free country and then they go over...

Yeah, it's cool. I don't feel ganged up on. I may start to get a little overwhelmed, though, by the number of responses, so if I don't respond to a particular post please understand that I'm doing the best I can to keep up while at the same time trying not to get obsessively involved.

Those are all conservatives whether you admit it or not. Yes, they are fringe nutjobs, but they are conservative fringe nutjobs. Come on! You sound like people who respond to Islamic terrorism by says "those weren't real Muslims". You say liberal violence has become the rule. OK. Tell me...

They say the same about this forum. If you can't see the parallels then I can't help you.

This is why antifa exists. Because conservative extremists have been calling for and committing violence and people on the far left decided to respond to it. - Robert Bowers killed 11 people in a synagogue. - Dylan Roof killed nine people in a church. - Wade Page killed 6 people in a Sikh...

So only the granddaughter is left alive? Wow, that's rough. I hope she has some family somewhere to take her in. What caused him to this? What causes anyone to kill? These are the things we need to be addressing, not gun control.

There's lots of people who mistakenly think the cops have a duty to protect people, when no such duty exists. I've heard this misconception quoted as a "reason" for why people should not be allowed to own guns, or use them in self defense, and I always bring up the various Supreme Court cases...
