I don't know whether you know anybody who owns gun stores, but the ATF showing up isn't exactly unusual.

The list comes from a piece of failed legislation that dates from 2007. It has been quoted and re-quoted on websites and in the news pretty regularly ever since then.

Am I the only person who read the story? On Saturday, a South Windsor man — who had received a suspended prison sentence and two years probation in May on charges of stealing a dozen rifles and shotguns from Riverview Sales — tried to steal a sniper rifle from the same store, police said. Jordan Mar...

The powers to be have taken note of the recent "shelf clearing", and will discuss this during their coming pow-wow. Without the working class to foot the bill for their growing number of dependant constituents, they are without a paddle. I firmly believe they will be drawing a fine line b...

They would not be law-abiding citizens anymore.

I wondered how long it would take before somebody posted this.

as long as no other restrictions are in place I just don't see how there is a problem with requiring anyone who buys a gun to pass a background check. Many of my friends and I buy and sell guns to each other all the time. This sounds like a giant pain in the ass to me. And like all such laws, does ...

The amount is largely insignificant in GDP terms. Depending on whose numbers you use, the 2011 GDP was somewhere in the range of $14 trillion to $15 trillion. The Professional Gun Retailers Assoc says the annual firearms industry average has remained flat for the past 20+ years at about $3.5 billion...

Interesting...I believe they aren't even sure if the Bushmaster fired a shot in Conn. Yes the Bushy was used to shoot out the glass on the front doors of the school, but wasn't used on any humans. This was on the nightly news so don't have a verifiable source. I got a laugh (a bitter laugh, natural...

Didn't they do something like that in Alaska, too?

who the hell said anything about the destruction of a pro gun retailer other than you. There are three CTD threads floating around here right now. I assumed he was thinking of the other one where somebody suggested that ordering a lot of catalogs might drive them out of business (apparently that pe...

Imagine that day when you realize your family doctor is an in-the-closet anti-gun activist.

Signed, though I fear the anti-gunners have a better chance of pulling a lot of tech-savvy votes. But I'll share it around, it can't hurt to try.

I love Drudge's spin on this one:

"CA Teachers' Retirement Fund Invested In Assault Rifle Manufacturer..."

New Yorkers playing ball with California unions? Say it ain't so!

I have been discussing this issue on another forum. It was suggested that Obama could possibly use a national security statute to write an executive order to control firearms or ban them. That is an angle I had not thought of before as I thought any EO would reference the CGA of 1968 or the NFA of ...

I was watching the news the day the school shooting went down. There was a Congressman and a Brady Campaign member being interviewed. They blamed the NRA for failure to pass any gun control laws that might have prevented the shooting. It is obvious to me that they are cowards for pointing the finge...

Done still 58 to 42 just curious how true these polls are

Considering we all just went there to tip it in our favor, what do you think???

There are about ~26K high schools and ~88k elementary schools. So thats ~114K x $ for security training, security officers, or physical security. This is a very complex and expensive issue to solve. The more important number is that fifty million children go to school and return home safely every s...

I open carried for a couple years. In my opinion it draws undue attention from both the positive and the negative. Open carry is ultimately a show of force, and showing your hand. You spotlight yourself as a high value target when a determined criminal is in your vicinity. Because you are "tha...

Thanks folks, I know that if we win this poll it most likely will go unreported. That's OK though. Press today use polls to drive opinion, not report it. If we win, then that is one less tool they have to drive opinion against us. If we win, it will just be reported as "divided opinion" o...

So do you live in a National Park, or Libya?

The instructions that accompanied my trust strongly advised against putting anything but NFA items into the trust.

I assume this was sarcasm...?

As much as I loathe making a point that supports the wrong side of this argument, I bet the Israeli woman in L1A1Rocker's photo is (also) a soldier of some type. He saw the SWAT guys and their AR15's on the news and said hey look the "military" is at the school, why? I explained that they ...

They're saying he was 24, for whatever that's worth.
