This goes way against previous polls that I've checked out. I think back after Sandy Hook, PoliceOne (was it?) did a poll where like the overwhelming majority of officers were opposed to an assault weapons ban, for example. But then you also have to realize that the inherent stress and risk as...

I basically agree. It was just one (really) bad experience that turned me off, but other than that, I went there for a number of years. The price wasn't too bad either. Here in South Florida, one of my local ranges wants $200 for a yearly membership to use their rifle range... I only go shooting...

Funny, I used to go to that range in Uniondale. Was the only one around that I knew of, really. Once got harassed for taking video, and once brought my gun, action back, pointed up, without a magazine, to the back table in one of the ranges. Range officer storms in, literally shoves me back...

I've been wanting a digital round counter build into guns for a hell of a long time now. Issue is, how will tech like this, be forced upon the average person in the future? Requiring all guns to be smart? Requiring GPS tracking? It's a slippery slope for damn sure..

This is absolutely sickening. These are out constitutional rights. THE ENTIRE POINT, having them based on natural rights, is that we do not need government permission to own these tools of our choice. "But that's too dangerous!" Yes, freedom IS dangerous. But it's the best there is. I could...

Honestly? He could have spent his time kissing babies, and curing cancer. Which would be great. Still wouldn't mean he isn't a dick.

Agreed. Isn't the whole point of these replacement rounds to be the best of both worlds? Yet all of these intermediate replacements have had more of the downsides of both, rather than the benefits. It's been kind of embarrassing to be totally honest.

Have you considered something like this..? LanesReloading.com Also, are there lee loaders available? There might be older ones if they aren't still produced. Short of hand-loading tools, it ain't gonna be too super cheap to get into it. But if you're going to load a ton, a nice setup could...

Totally 100% disagree... I know "it seems" means it's just an opinion, but this is a great way to alienate those who aren't involved in the military and are legitimate constitutionalists, or try to be. I would include myself in that.

Oh shoot... That pesky 10th Amendment. I did read the full case a while back, and I'm pretty sure it was decided based on the 14th Amendment, but in doing that, it's almost like the Court basically said that the 14th can supersede the 10th as long as the law is somehow being applied...

I'm pretty close to finishing up at UAlbany, but I was previously at a community college. It was probably about 2:1 conservative to liberal, since it was local and we are upstate. But since I'm a criminal justice major, I'd say things actually still lean a little more conservative, despite the...

Just had a huge argument with a former classmate from early high school on this crap... He slipped and basically admitted that he wanted specific court rulings based on "morality". He couldn't begin to wrap his head around why I opposed the Court's ruling on gay marriage, despite supporting gay...

To be fair, I'd probably have done something like that. My brain can't do math for some reason. I took an IQ test in high school and scored about a 110. I swept the entire test getting almost everything right, but my "processing" was really slow... It's really aggravating, but some of it might...

No doubt that "per shot" it's more deadly. But if your objective was to harm more people, would you prefer 8 rounds in a tactical shotgun, or 30 rounds in an AR-15, which is far easier to reload? Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely in no way saying ban anything, regardless of this. And this...

Hm... Certainly for something like a Glock, I agree. "Pick up and go". On the other hand, maybe it'd be better suited to something like a 1911 or similar platform? I believe Star Model BM's for example (not quite 1911's, I know) have the firing pin resting on the primer if I'm aware. So in...

On another note... I believe most shotguns can be slam-fired with one in the chamber, can't they? What are your thoughts on "slide back" as an alternate to using the safety? In this case, I'm talking about any gun, whether a shotgun, handgun, rifle or otherwise. I have mixed feelings, but...

I think there's some legitimacy to it, but on the other hand, it lets the intruder know you're there, too. A sane man would probably run away, not willing to risk his life. But should you happen to encounter the mythical "300 lb meth-head", I doubt you'll see results. Then again, I would argue...

I also enjoy those kinds of targets. :)

Uh... How would one enter this monthly challenge?

Damn, that ".357 Gunner" is almost like a .50 Beowulf that's actually practical in real life lmao!

As the old saying goes... "Don't bother banning the guns. Just ban the ammunition!" I don't care if he was caught with 500 pounds of cocaine in his car. The registration of ammunition is undoubtedly unconstitutional. And without guys like Brett Kavanaugh on the court, this shit would actually...

So in other words... Leftists (true conservatives would never introduce this) want to essentially force landowners to kill their trees... Because they don't want to be taxed on the trees they already have... Leading to dirtier air, and more CO2... Which would lead to more global warming, which...

Okay yeah, apparently my guestimations were relatively on-point. Once again, our friend Brass Fetcher comes to the rescue! Both are pretty devastating considering their "weight class" in the gun world. But wow, that Hornady V-Max 40 grain Remington .22wmr soft point is REALLY impressive.

I've heard nothing but good things, but then again, I like .22 mag as well so what do I know. :) Apparently they rip small game to shreds and doesn't have the penetration that it's heavier older brother has though. If I could only have one or the other, I'd think .22 wmr would be more effective...

Well... Is pipe tobacco typically inhaled? I honestly don't know. I guess it would still be absorbed, but at a much slower rate than directly into the lungs, so it's probably a lot easier to avoid addiction with pipe tobacco. Apparently a ton of people think chewing tobacco is beyond...

Sounds good, but like I said, I fear that it may end up being a net negative to society (and therefore us the taxpayer) due to increased crime of a ton of crackheads running around. See, it would be great to have a bunch of androids on an island try all this out and see how it works, but...

So on putting people in prison for possessing small amounts, I think that's stupid. On the other hand, it's worth noting that a significant amount people doing time for "possession" were actually plead down from distribution. And again going back to the externalities, don't you think there's...

Shoot, yeah that was my original point about having to tax it too much, but I totally forgot haha

But it's pretty much established that vaping is significantly less harmful than the combustion of tobacco and all the other shit in cigarettes. That being said, aren't most vape products nicotine-free anyway..? I'm not sure on that though. Sounds like just another thing government wants to get...

Well... Was it the best course of action? Probably not... That being said, if you're raping kids, I ain't gonna' feel bad when I read these headlines. Gary Plauche wasn't a bad guy. (The dude who shot his son's abductor/rapist in the head on his way to trial) On the other hand, I know...

Oh absolutely, I think weed would be a huge attack on gangs and drug cartels to the point of really screwing them. Which is great by me. And I also happen to think that prostitution should be legal, at least in the way they do it in Nevada. On the other hand, what would prices need to be for...

Well sure, but what about the externalities of legalizing crack, meth, heroin and so on? The addiction, increased crime rate that comes with it, and the inevitable forced payment by government (the taxpayers) to treat the addictions to drugs we decided to legalize... I want to believe that most...

Agree with both, but do you really think that legalizing coke would be a net positive on society? I'm not so sure... Although cocaine is much less destructive and addicting as compared to other "hard drugs", but I'd still be hesitant to say it's worth it. I mean arguably, medicinal marijuana is...

I think as a preface, it should be noted that in many situations, it could technically be "legal" to resist arrest, fight an officer, even kill them if the situation was unlawful in the first place. On the other hand, SCOTUS has given law enforcement a lot of leeway when it comes to "good...

Total Fudd. See here's the thing... I actually have little doubt that overall, a semi-auto rifle w/ 30 round mag is an optimal gun for killing, whether in offense or defense. Though "per shot", I would expect shotguns to be most deadly, even up to medium ranges. But the truth is, none of that...

The way they took a damn picture and posed, like they accomplished something, is pretty sickening... Also, there's no way in hell the dude on the left is passing the physical...

Yeah, I was actually going to ask if you guys had tried it. It's a really good target in my experience and one of my favorite drills.

Wow, seems pretty affordable. Have you tried just going to scrapyards and trying to salvage plates that way? Only downside is you'll have little to no clue on the exact steel you're getting. I may just make a day of that at some point. :)
