How’s that midtown gun-free zone, bail reform, sanctuary city and replacement migration working out? https://www.foxnews.com/us/times-square-shooting-teen-migrant-gunman-from-on-the-loose-after-woman-shot-firing-on-police-authorities.amp Scholar from Venezuela was relieving a store of its...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/23/nyregion/wrong-driveway-shooting-ny.html Terrible way to use a nice 20 gauge Ithaca Deerslayer. Hopefully it ends up in the hands of someone who will treat it properly.

I work, and I go to church on Sunday. Are there any CCIA pistol permit class options that work in Central NY/Southern Tier or upstate generally that I can commute to on a couple of Saturdays to do the course? I'd rather not have to take 4 weekdays off work just for this requirement and I'm not...

The New Mexico prosecutors are presenting the previously-dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin for the Rust shooting to a grand jury. The reason being two independent tests have shown that the pistol had not been modified, had a functional trigger, and would not have just...

This is sort of old news now but almost a month ago the NY Senate passed a bill to provide federally-funded insurance for illegal migrants to the tune of a $1 billion and climbing per year. There's a push to get this through the assembly and signed by Hochul...

Watch for this in New York. It's passed the California Assembly. This is already happening de facto not just in New York and California but in states like Texas. This would make it the law in California and put "affirming" a "trans" identity front and center in making custody determinations...

New York Governor Kathy Hochul says the current influx of migrants is a golden opportunity. Hcohcul[sic] and New York City Mayor Eric Adams held a press conference earlier this week asking the federal government to provide expedited work authorization for asylum seekers. Hochul says the...

Another unexplained no-action from SCOTUS on an interim appeal. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-allows-illinois-assault-weapons-ban-take-effect Still waiting for them to actually rule in one of the many such cases on "AWBs".

California is America’s biggest pork market and the only state that has banned the sale of pork from operations using industry standard gestation crates; some other states ban the practice in-state but are not major producers of pork and do not ban the product from out of state. The law has...

Can't escape the stench of weed in New York? Bad news, all those pot-smokers are going to be psychotic, unhinged schizophrenics in a few years. The link between weed, hallucinogens in general, and schizophrenia has long been known, but a new study shows just how bad it is:

One would hope this will not get any further on the house floor and would be unlikely to be enacted in Texas. Not only would this do basically nothing except hinder young gun buyers, it has the odd feature of applying only to semiautomatic calibers greater than .22 with detachable magazines...

Local news story from Fayetteville. 25-year-old Brittany Murphy made the mistake of stopping at the Cumberland Food Mart convenience store on February 6, just around the corner from the "historically black" Fayetteville State University. She was immediately confronted outside by a three young...

Alec Baldwin will never face justice for slaughtering his own employee with reckless indifference, but in unrelated news Kim Potter finally got out of prison looking like hell for defending herself from a violent career criminal in the line of duty. If only she had actually gone for her gun and...

Anybody had experience shooting any and recommend any good models or deals? or have one gathering dust you want to unload (lol)? Seems a bit range toyish but before my boating accident I was fond of AR’s and shotguns and I’ve had a hankering to combine the two.

A 6-year-old white girl and both her parents were shot, leaving the girl seriously injured Tuesday after her basketball rolled into a crazed black man's yard. As of right now no phone calls, tweets, or press releases from the White House have been made and her GoFundMe has raised $655 dollars...

The story is that a black kid knocked on the wrong house door and the white homeowner who answered the door shot him twice. Remains to be seen whether there is more to it (e.g. kid reacting in a threatening way). A GoFundMe has raised $1 million in 20 hours before facts are known; marchers are...

We've been so wrapped up with what's happening in New York post-Bruen that I've only found a mention of Bianchi v Frosh buried in another thread. That case is huge; an assault weapons and magazine ban similar to the "SAFE" regime in New York that had been upheld here post-Heller pre-Bruen...

When even the Washington Post's notorious "fact checkers" call you out on the Assault Rifle-14. https://archive.ph/Skfih But of course, when we get to the actual fact-check rating: Of course. As always, when these "fact checkers" get to the verdict they can ignore any and all content...

Question: I'm no expert on pistol malfunctions, but how does a semiautomatic pistol "jam" firing the first round? Seems to me that "click and no bang" possibilities are 1: empty chamber, 2: light primer strike or similar misfire, 3: bad load. Am I missing something? But it's journalists we are...

A gun-free zone. Another good reminder how awful this state is for those with targets on their back.

Note the only assault weapon charge was for "One of the long rifles was found partially disassembled, but fit the definition of an assault weapon once reassembled." In other words this guy was compliant on all his long guns. He was screwed for pistols without a permit including a loaded pistol...

So we now are having to grapple with the impact of the new gun package rammed through in NY. The "other" ban was obviously promoted to close the "loophole" where apparently full-featured AR "pistols" with a vertical grip were apparently legal (with 10 round mags), but its expansive language...

Out of a couple of FFL's who have transferred lowers to me, I don't think a single one has recorded the model correctly. They are putting "AR15" or such instead of the manufacturer-specific model name (which is clearly engraved on the lower), since these are not Colt lowers. I'm sure this is...

So they teased this prototype back in January at SHOT show and it was supposed to be out in October or by the end of the year and obviously it isn't. Haven't seen anything since the initial buzz. Anyone else heard any gossip or updated on it? Will we have a double-action carbine with all the...

I have a question about an old shotgun, it's a low-end pre-1968 (made in the '40s) shotgun that's unserialized (this model never was). I know I can be given it by a parent within New York without going through an FFL, but if it had to be transferred to someone else later how would that work? Can...

So, I thought the 5 round center-fire magazine limit applied to hunting. The DEC website says as much: Hunting Regulations - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation But when I looked up the actual law ECL § 11-0931, I find: "Possess in the fields or forests or on the waters of the state for...

Cuomo just put out a mass email sending constituents/taxpayers to a state-run petition: Add Your Name: Legalize Surrogacy and Ban Gay/Trans Panic Defense Just in time for father's day. What this bill would do is allow payments to surrogate mother's to bear their frankenbabies for them for...

Will the Magpul enhanced self-leveling follower work in Hexmags? Anyone tried it, and if so does it work better than the stock Hexmag follower?

So some folks in California weren’t paying attention and missed the window, and in New York we might not have noticed, that the Duncan decision struck down the California magazine capacity limit a week ago Friday, resulting a week-long MAGAzine free-for-all in California, until the judge...

in state politics has been a dumpster fire.

Anyone have a good source on what the fingerprints are actually used for submitted with NFA applications to buy or build NFA items/AOWs? Are they just used for background checks and/or held in your file? I expect they are actually permanently entered into IAFIS and searched any time law...

Australian Cosplayer Faces Prison for 3D Printed Replica Guns

So supposedly there was a sanctions notice against Rostec last December that was going to block imports of this stuff starting January 29 this year, but I never found anything as to whether anything went into effect. This stuff is still on my LGS shelves. I prefer to buy American anyway but...

So, we've all seen that story in the MSM about how the gun industry churns fears about gun control to gin up sales and how in consequence nothing is better for the gun industry than Democrats in office. It might seem like a strange argument to make as the gun control party that you are helping...

I'll keep it short. New gun owner (1 year). Lurked here on and off. I'm a private person and keep mostly to myself. I'm a registered Democrat of a couple decades, have watched my party and country go insane. This morning for the first time I went to the polls and voted Republican down the ballot...
