    Gun Charge For Dope Who Shot Self Below Belt

    Do you really have a constitutional right to shoot your dick and scrote in a public place with a Hi-Point tucked in your waistband? Seriously, don’t defend this Darwin Award winner unless you’re lining up for your own. This is not our poster boy for constitutional carry.

    Shooting in New Zealand Mosque

    Agreed, the consensus among experts seems to be that he's just a cold-blooded killer who knows how to operate his guns. From the link: I don't see that. At 7:45 he takes a full 16 seconds or so for a mag change. Granted at that time everyone in the room is on the floor dead, wounded, or playing...

    Shooting in New Zealand Mosque

    I'm not sure how you've managed to derail this thread into a played-out caliber troll, but I can't ignore the fact that you're trying to prove your own point with a lie (while making heavy use of the "LIE" word yourself). First of all, that man's name is David Sweat. His partner-in-crime's name...

    inner-city Americans have been left out of the conversation when it comes to gun rights.

    Do you think rural folks do not have food on the table as a first concern? Do you think we do not have poverty, welfare cases, broken homes and drugs in our communities? We do, and we have it just as close to home. There are still different values and ways of life. The idea that the inner cities...

    inner-city Americans have been left out of the conversation when it comes to gun rights.

    You're not wrong, but you're also not listening. There are good people including good family people in the cities. The 80% of the U.S. in urban areas is not going anywhere; it's growing. By all means we need to fight for our rural weigh of life and the respect we deserve for ourselves but we...

    Pure (un)safe act arrest

    He was charged for an assault rifle with "a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, collapsible stock and a flash compressor [sic]". In other words a standard AR15. It's nearly impossible to find an AR15 upper or barrel that doesn't have a threaded barrel or muzzle device on it. You have to either...

    Buying Guns With a Loan?

    You're asking strangers for their blessing for you to go into debt to buy guns? It sounds like you've already made up your mind. Go ahead, gunmakers and retailers will thank you. Future you will probably want to strangle you though. Going into debt for consumer items and toys may be the...

    Alkaline Batteries (I hate them)

    Your call; long as you keep the batteries fresh. There's nothing trashier than living with a beeping smoke detector. The old school smoke detectors don't warn about expiring like the newer ones do; you have to check the date on them. I changed a smoke detector out for my gram that was probably...

    Pure (un)safe act arrest

    Maryland they are pushing for a LONG GUN QUALIFICATION LICENSE!

    MD is already worse than NY in a lot of ways. No “evil gun” replicas, not even bastardized ARs, no “light barrels,” pre-ban rifles are registered and state police going door to door doing checks on out-of-state purchases. This is just the next step to becoming worse than California. But NY is...

    NFA fingerprints

    I was asking what the ATF does with your prints and remarking that so many folks (disproportionately in states with liberal gun/pistol laws given they allow SBSs and suppressors in the first place) don’t seem to think it’s that big of a deal. I wasn’t inviting speculation or discussion as to my...

    NFA fingerprints

    I have my own reasons and they’re no more your business than the government’s. As I said it’s not even about the fingerprints, it’s about the larger regime we have in NY around pistol laws and licensing.

    NFA fingerprints

    They have it but they don’t use it for ATF firearm sale records. It’s a statutory requirement that goes way back and is well documented. Changing that is high up on the antigun lobby’s list so it could change in the future but it hasn’t yet. Whether they would go back and index the old records...

    NFA fingerprints

    I doubt it; gun stores have to keep them for 20 years. But again, by law they can't truly "computerize" the records into a database. The only thing they can query is individual sale records. In other words if they are tracing a specific gun they pull a specific gun sale. Unlike the fingerprint...

    NFA fingerprints

    The ATF has it, but they only scan images of the paperwork. Someone has to manually pull physical disks of the scans (or files if it hasn't been processed) and page through to find a transaction. Just as the gunshop would if they were asked. Nothing is electronically indexed or queryable. The...

    NFA fingerprints

    Ca. New rules for ammo purchase

    That's all true. That being said, and I know some of you are paranoid about "giving them ideas," but cigarette tax provides the model NYS could end up using if they got serious about going down that road. The "SAFE" Act doesn't do this, but the way it happens with cigs is they don't stop the...

    transporting firearms 1200 miles south

    MD is the nastiest state for gun laws that is hardest to avoid, but depending on where you're coming from crossing from PA to WV at Hancock may add as little as 20 minutes or so to your trip, and you'll only be in Maryland for 2 miles. Lovely part of the country too. FOPA says we shouldn't have...

    NY Nunchuck Law Struck as Unconstitutional.

    This bodes well for knife rights in general. It's too bad this ruling only applied to nunchuks and not the dozen-odd other items on the list. There was recently a Connecticut ruling that legalized stun guns (also banned here) based on the 2A and Heller. So it's up to litigants to dismantle these...
