Re: Oops. Killed a little girl.

If a cop showed up on scene and had done this we probably would not be having this discussion would we? Again - I wasn't there and don't have the benefit of whatever evidence the prosecutor, grand jury, and defense attorneys have. That said - if a cop rolled up to the scene, rounded a corner and pu...

Re: .277 Fury

So, new cartridge case, higher pressure load, and they just re-invented the 7mm-08? Oh, sorry, we don't do them "metric" things.... Looks like it pushes its bullets nominally harder than the 7mm-08. That... and it does have a 0.472" rim instead of a 0.473" - so there is that... ...

Re: Reformers elected to NRA board

Too little too late? Rearranging the decks chairs on the Titanic? Or a ray of hope? Probably a little of both... is it a ray of hope? Sure... it's always better to have better people in place... Is it too little too late? Well... it isn't enough for me to support them again... I'm a "lifetime ...

Wild stuff, on the ASU Tempe campus the "protestors" claimed they were getting "kidnapped" by the police as officers began arresting them. Such a wild world we live in. https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1784735236443553797 I generally don't have much use for fraternitie...

OK - I'm going to chime in here... just because I can't leave well enough alone. * First - I have exactly zero knowledge regarding John Correia's relative competence as a martial artist... It sounds like he's probably gotten in with a school that is pretty commercial - that's too bad. On the other h...

Re: Armalite AR10B

I have an Armalite AR-10T (the heavy barrel "Target" version). Fantastic gun - uses the M1Aish magazine. If you plan to sell it - I'd look at what sold on GunBroker - and maybe TrueGunValue.com - although what I see there looks lower than what I would have expected. https://truegunvalue.co...

Re: Time to tell the doctor to shove it...they are retrying to make guns a healthcare issue again

I've always been told that the best approach it to simply lie. "nope - none..." I hate this approach - because I'm an idealist - and I want to tell them where to shove their questions - or at least say politely "I'm going to choose not to answer that question." But pragmatically ...
