And I loved when they came up with their "Black listed" gun shops. They got the names of the shops that the most ATF gun traces went back to, and claimed that meant the dealers were selling to criminals. The ATF collects data on gun traces, including where they left federal supervision [first sale]. A spokesman for the ATF actually issued a press release to stating that the Brady Bunch was full of shit and the report didn't mean that at all. It kind of makes sense that the biggest dealers in a given area will have more traces come back to them, don't you think? [FYI - not all traces are the result of a crime] witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Bill, when I link to any study or statistic listed on the NRA site, even if it DOJ or California AG, you blow it off and act like it doesn't exist. Read the words below again. These people couldn't buy a reasonable study, they actually have to do their own. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I proudly rate a 23%. Though I have to admit it freaked me out when it kept moving to the left.

So if the NRA pulls together a collection of independent studies and lists them on their site, we can't possibly believe that, but if the Brady Bunch runs their own study, that ranks with the Gospel. Yep. Uh huh. They just keep making more and more sense. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I wouldn't mind. It works for Switzerland. Of course, I also wouldn't mind gun safety courses in public schools, or bringing back rifle teams. The M-16 fires a fairly small bullet, as rifle rounds go. It is light but durable, reliable, etc. Overall I give it pretty good marks. And FYI - the M-16 is not full-automatic. The one I was issued at Quantico, and the one still being issued by the thousands, is select fire. It has three settings. Safe (will not fire), Semi (fires one round per squeeze of the trigger). and Burst (fires three rounds per squeeze). witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Generally accepted is arms equivalent to those issued to average infantymen serving in the US armed forces. You do know Charlton Heston is no longer leader of the NRA, right? Why do I need a thirty round magazine? They have been deemed most practical by the US Aremd Forces. I don't think I know better than them. They do have almost 200 years more experience with firearms than I do. Why do I need 17 in my glock [if I had one]? The gun holds a magazine designed to hold 17 rounds without protrusion. Why should I carry less than it can? If you're going to give me issues about accuracy, let's use your example of cops being better than civilians with firearms. IIRC in the Diallo case correctly, the officers fired 41 rounds, and only hit him 19 times. That was four officers firing at one man. Do you think having extra rounds on hand might be a good thing for the rest of us now [assuming we are more sure of our targets than they were]? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

There are exact numbers, they just don't want to post that the firearms covered in the AWB are used in 2% of firearms crimes. Also, I hate to be the one to break it to them, but smugglers, gangs, etc, use FULL-AUTOMATIC firearms. Those are machine guns. The AWB covers only SEMI-automatic firearms, or one sqeeze one shot. The criminals in the bank shootout were using FULL-AUTOMATIC firearms. AK-47 knock offs. The firearms covered under the AWB are SEMI-automatic AK look-alikes. The AK-47 fires a 7.62mm round, approximately .30 caliber. The .30-06, one of the most popular deer hunting cartridges in the US, is far more powerful. The US military uses a .223 caliber round. It has far less power than most hunting rounds. They shouldn't portray "military rounds" as being more powerful that ordinary cartridges. Also, I highly doubt an AK round would go through 12 layers of spaced out sheetrock [that's six walls, assuming it missed the studs]. Their issued sidearm would harm innocent bystanders, if used improperly. A rifle or shotgun is no different. they don't list whether the firearms used had bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, or collapsible stocks. If they did, they were outlawed under the AWB. If they didn't carry those cosmetic features, they were not banned. A rifle with the exact same action is now available without those features, and it is no more lethal than any other semi-automatic firearm. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

No one is suggesting any AR variant is good for concealed carry, but it IS a good choice for the home. It's light, short, has very flexible array of ammunition available, reliable, etc etc. A carbine length AR is a very effective tool. Look at what SWAT teams make entry with. They're not all holding their sidearm. They have a mix of rifle/carbines and shotguns, except for the shield bearer [he's only got one hand free so he goes in with the pistol]. I'm partial to a shotgun for the home, but regardless long guns are a far better choice than a sidearm for basically any application. The only reason for handguns to exist are (A) a back up (B) they're lighter and smaller so easier to move (C) concealability. Well, that and the sheer joy of putting rounds downrange, but that's not particular to handguns. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You know he was breaking the law because he forgot to take the gun out of his car? Good thing he's not a responsible citizen huh?

You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. So do the legislative and executive branches of 38 states, every significant manufacturing organization, the majority of the federal legislative branch, and the federal executive branch [yes, that's a fancy way to say the president]. The problem is not that people want to bring suits. The problem is that they bring them knowing they can't win, but want to inflict court costs on the industry to drive them out of business. We can at least agree on the point that lawsuits in the US have gotten completely and utterly out of hand. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well, if hijacks are ok in a thread as emotional as this, do we ban broomsticks now? Ban bathtubs because of A. Yates? Bill, it's been explained to you that many of the constitution's protections end at the shores, even for citizens. Deal with it. No one was saying she didn't deserve a fair trial. They're just saying she should be juiced when she's found guilty. ps - it helps when you mention the thirteen year old was shooting at US armed forces. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
