    F/S New Ruger PC carbine

    I'm in ROC; the gun show can work otherwise we can line up another option. Interested in the carbine and optic. You don't have the backpack, correct?

    Revealing the concealed carriers

    It's hardly science fiction. 4th Amendment issues aside, it's a matter of scaling this up and paying for it. NYS, CA, and other places are showing their cards. Don't think that if there is a way for them to "unmask" those who defy their rules and carry guns, they won't try it.

    What do you believe is a loaded firearm?

    I voted that loaded = chambered. In reading responses, I have changed my mind. Loaded means a mag inserted with a live round in the mag; or for revolvers, a live round in at least one cylinder.

    Revealing the concealed carriers

    This video is from a decade ago. I fully expect that NYS and other places bent on disarming the populace will bathe the streets in radar which can identify passersby who are armed. Now that everywhere is a "sensitive" location, simple navigation will become very treacherous for those...

    Dilbert comic strip dropped for comments on race, then Musk gets involved

    It appears to be a moronic poll question. Who exactly was included in the poll? Do you have faith in what the pollsters are representing, or do you suspect they perhaps had troublemaking in mind from the start? Adams finally had an opportunity to get a lot off his chest, and he did so. Good...

    Dilbert comic strip dropped for comments on race, then Musk gets involved

    The fool also said he previously had opted to identify as Black in order to "help them out." I sure hope we can survive without his comic wit, self-inclusion in our ranks and general goodwill. Fingers crossed!

    Hochul thinks it’s disgusting that Santos backs bill to make AR-15 USA’s official gun

    Santos is not the person we want championing 2A, in any way, shape or form. Don't be short-sighted and fall for his desperate ploy. He's demonstrating contempt for every self-respecting gun owner by hitching himself to this cause.

    George Santos should resign!

    I expressed amazement that he was elected in the first place. I consider him unfit for office based on his documented challenges. I'm not even aware of whatever the latest development in his saga is, but I doubt it would render him suddenly fit for office in my view.

    George Santos should resign!

    Santos is mentally ill, a complete pathological liar, or both. He seems to lie simply because he enjoys lying. He flagrantly lied about important details that were incredibly easy to disprove. He lied about totally irrelevant and absurd aspects of his "life" that served no purpose in the...

    George Santos should resign!

    I agree that politics drives media coverage. There is always an agenda. That said, Santos is an extraordinary case. I consider this obvious and undeniable. Since there is indeed a razor thin GOP majority in the house, the fate of Santos looms large. Whether the general public "should" know his...

    George Santos should resign!

    I'm incredulous at your whataboutism, and not at all making the case that Democrats don't lie. Santos is a stupendous embarrassment to any group he is a part of, including liars. To argue against him losing his post is to signal total surrender to cynicism, and is a shameless endorsement of...

    Illinois seeks to "ban" semiautomatic weapons

    Agreed. The government cannot meet our needs. The hopeless trap that the USA has fallen into is outsourcing the role that each individual must play in getting one's needs met -- as well as "paying it forward" and contributing to general conditions which foster others' needs being met -- to the...

    Illinois seeks to "ban" semiautomatic weapons

    Illinois seeks to "ban" semiautomatic weapons

    Why do you think crime is concentrated in the cities? What do you see as the reasons why ghettoes exist? What conditions characterize ghettoes?

    Trumps dreams of dictatorship

    The question then becomes, what is our North Star? How to rectify breaking of the contract? Both sides continually pervert the "spirit of the law" and look for extralegal ways to advance their agendas. Trump, however, is essentially calling for anarchy, in service of his presidential ambitions.
