    Fox News Dominates Cable News Ratings As CNN’s Gun Town Hall Falls Flat

    Waters does that too. God forbid anyone say something he doesn't want to hear. Waters used to be better than that. Not a whole lot of hosts on the Fox News channel but the views still beat anything on the lib channels.

    Trump in talks with key senators on gun control legislation

    With the media reporting shootings almost daily, public pressure has never been higher. If some kind of control measures don't come out of this, they never will until Democrats have congress and the presidency. I wonder if the supreme court will hear cases related and cave to public pressure.

    Seeing a trend yet?

    The reason I want an AR, as long as it is a legal use, makes no difference. Self defense, competition, hunting, target, how about; its fun, collecting, etc. If the government bans, restricts, confiscates, etc, this type rifle, they will continue banning the next mass killing gun of choice. I...

    Chris Cuomo threatens to throw Trump supporter down steps

    I love how Cuomo said "I'm an actor on CNN". At least he doesn't claim to be a news person. I seems CNN has a lot of actors.

    Soliders will be soldiers or How Boredom Breeds Stupidity

    In Hawaii we would float fish by prying open blanks, insert canon fuse and flatten the casing around the fuse. Light, drop in water, retrieve fish. Until one day, one of the guys missed the water, went over to pick it up before it went off and drop it in the water. It went off and hit him in...

    You could have experience while in the military or if you had worked for a police agency. Also, you could have moved from another state where laws are less restrictive.

    Biden says his administration would take certain guns from Americans

    Looking at only the AR 15, if everyone that owned one agreed to sell it back to the government, they would want at least what they paid. If we put an average price of $800 a piece, and we believe the internet stating there are 10 million AR's in the US, it would cost the government 8 billion...

    Researching Move to South Carolina, how do I move my guns?

    My wife and I are planning to move to South Carolina within the next year. When the time comes, how do I go about moving my guns? We may rent prior to purchasing a home. I understand that I cannot carry without a permit and I must either be a resident or own land to apply for a carry permit...

    Cleaning Friends Rifles

    A friend has asked if I would clean his rifles for him. While he takes basic are of his rifles, he does not know how to do a full breakdown and cleaning. If I do it for him, is it legal for him to leave the guns at my house for a few days while I clean them. I have no restrictions of any kind...

    Ham Two Way Radio !

    I have a couple of these. The menus are a bit confusing so it is a good idea to get familiar with them before you need them. Also, read up on setting one up as a relay. You can extend your range considerably or get your signal out of a ravine if needed. Also, consider picking up a small...

    Ideas for Stocking Up Cheap

    Thrift stores and garage sales often have items for a SHTF situation at a good price. Here are a few ideas of what to look for. Check your personal inventory to see what you need most, and what you have room to store. If you’ve got storage space, you can never have an overstock of prepping...

    New York is Numba One in Population

    10 Reasons To Own An AR-15

    How to achieve a gun free America.

    Gun Ban introduced

    Any ban starts the "slippery slope." That said, Republicans are introducing a ban on bump stocks hoping to keep the ban focus on a single item. If passed and Dems circle back with more bans, Republicans are going to say, we took action, done. It is a matter of controlling the damage.

    Statistics: People who legally own gun rarely commit crimes with their firearms

    Yet people who legally own automobiles break the law all the time. And yet we don't outlaw automobiles. Of course if suggested, everyone would claim it would be ridiculous to do so. It should be the same with firearms.

    What Can Be Done About Washington Politics?

    Needle and floss. Floss is stronger than thread and can be used for many things including stitches, sewing, cleaning teeth, tying things up, etc. I pack my bag as a get-home, bug-out bag. It has much more than I need for either situation. That said, the idea is to eliminate items not needed...
