Senseless violence

Senseless violence, with guns or not, has no place in the 21 century. Walking into a center where people are legally trying to obtain U.S. citizenship---wow? ! ? How Anti-American is that? The shooter is a coward and did it in the wrong order...he should have shot himself first.

Huh?

I suppose it makes sense that every time there is an Anti-gun law proposed, the NRA files a lawsuit that the Anti's would start filing lawsuits every time the Pro's make headway.

Federal Parks are public land. It is legal to carry a gun in most public areas. I fail to see the logic in banning guns in a public place, especially one where the possibility of being attacked by bears and wacko's are readily available.

Concealed Carry in National Parks Suspended -- NRA Files Motion To Appeal

On Thursday, March 19, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. granted anti-gun plaintiffs a preliminary injunction against implementation of the new rule allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves by carrying a concealed firearm in national parks and wildlife refuges.
In Thursday's ruling, Federal District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the preliminary injunction against the Department of the Interior rule that took effect on January 9, 2009. The revised rule allowed individuals to carry concealed firearms for self-defense in national parks and national wildlife refuges located in states that allow the carrying of concealed firearms.
Today, NRA filed a notice of appeal in Federal District Court to oppose the preliminary injunction.
NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox, said, "NRA is moving aggressively to protect this common sense rule and that's why we filed this notice of appeal today. Just as we did not give up the fight to change the old, outdated rule, we will not give up our fight in the courts to defend the rule change. We will pursue every legal avenue to defend the American people's right of self-defense."

I love it !!

Nit picking

The Obama Administration is starting its nit-picking of the 2nd Amendment. It is not likely to stop until all firearms are banished from all Citizens, regardless of current laws and Rights.

This seems so minor, but it leads to worse things. The government is no longer selling used brass to ammo makers to reload. This is going to dry up the surplus brass market for 9mm, 5.56, 7.62x51, and 50 Browning. This is going to seriously raise prices on future ammo in those calibers since the existence of reloaded ammo helped keep prices of new ammo reasonable.

Again, it's a small step that leads to worse

Dear Valued Customer:

Please take a moment to note important changes set forth by the Defense Logistics Agency:

Recently it has been determined that fired munitions of all calibers, shapes and sizes have been designated to be Demil code B. As a result and in conjunction with DLA's current Demil code B policy, this notice will serve as official notification which requires Scrap Venture (SV) to implement mutilation as a condition of sale for all sales of fired munitions effective immediately. This notice also requires SV to immediately cease delivery of any fired munitions that have been recently sold or on active term contracts, unless the material has been mutilated prior to sale or SV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.

Thank you,

Shotguns

I have a shotgun. It's a Mossberg, Model 500A. She's a 12 gauge. She came with a 28 inch barrel and a 18.5 barrel. I've shot the gun with both. I am not sure why people are so infatuated with shot barreled shotguns. They kick like mules and the recoil causes muzzle jump like you wouldn't believe.

In patterns with any kind of shot and with any kind of choke much better with the longer barrel. Trap/skeet is much, much easier with the longer barrel. Water fowl hunting will show you longer is better.

Endless debates rage about what barrel length is best. There is no clear answer, but I feel longer ones are more useful, overall. You won't see true hunters out in the field with a "security" shotgun. Newbies, might, but those in the know, bring the right weapon with the right hunting weapon..

Now, for home defense, the shorter barrel is superior, for easing around corners and doorways, but for anything else, go long.

Two crazies---One day

One kid in Germany and one ass in Alabama went on shooting sprees. More than 20 people are dead because two idiots went stupid. Ya know what, you asshats, how about you start your killing sprees by killing yourself. Leave the rest of us alone.

Faced with a choice between gun rights and property rights, a House panel sided Thursday with the former.

On a 6-2 vote the Judiciary Committee approved legislation to allow people to drive into privately owned parking lots with loaded weapons in their vehicles. The wishes of the business owner would become legally irrelevant.Faced with a choice between gun rights and property rights, a House panel sided Thursday with the former.

You still cannot carry the gun on your person onto private property.
