Perhaps some wise soul at ATF will remove its acquisition from the vetting process and at most just require that its purchaser show I.D. to a dealer to buy it, like a firearm. ATF cannot amend federal law to move silencers from Title II to Title I. Only Congress can do that. Since, like most govern...

From the article: "Shopping malls and other soft targets in the United States should increase security measures and update emergency response plans in the aftermath of the Kenyan mall massacre that killed at least 72 people, experts told FoxNews.com" ...Or we could learn how to properly as...

I'm surprised he didn't bitch about the foam in the box being open-cell, or the shopping bag at the gun store.

Slow news day for TTAG I guess.

Suppressed .22LR zip gun.

I would have to go with the classic oil filter. But I question defining your character a hero if he commits a murder that is premeditated.It would keep your hero's reputation better if the death was defensive in nature possibly using the bad guys weapon.Murder is murder and no hero would ever do th...

I give them both 0 trust points. The difference at this time is too small to measure or at least beneath my margin of error.

It takes less than 10 minutes to process the forms. As I have pointed out, the problem is the forms to examiner ratio. Better processes will have almost no effect. So, it follows that if the problem is the form:examiner ration, and it takes X time to process the forms, then X/2 is have the time. If...

... Well the most obvious is the NFA guns are registered, non-NFA guns are not. So they check to make sure the gun on your form really exists and is registered to the transferor. Then they actually run your fingerprints through the FBI Criminal Master File looking for hits. That is not done on 4473...

If you're considering a revolver for a self defense gun, do the following. Before you decide, take a good class that will simulate the following simulations: Shoot more than 6 times Shoot more than 6 times with an injured hand Shoot more than 6 times with an injured strong hand If you say that carry...

What is the rate of reoffense for parolee/suspended sentence/full time served? My search-fu is not up to the task. Not sure. If it proves to be an issue, then fix that piece of the equation. But being free to buy a car, gasoline, chemicals, etc and not a gun seems to further demonize the tool as if...

If it's black, it's an AR15.

I once owned an AR15 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

I tend to agree (though I didn't always).
Do your time, then get released on parole, then get off of probation, then show for a number of years that you're a productive and helpful member of society, then get your rights back (voting, firearms, etc).

Hey Texas! I read that someone is messing with you guys. Whatcha' gonna to do about it?

You guys are putting a lot of faith in a White House website. Even if you get a hundred gazillion signatures, do you seriously think some White House staffer is going to burst into the oval office and yell, "change of plans, the people have spoken", or do you think that petition will be q...

I can't wait for Obama to arrest himself.

I agree fairtax isn't perfect, but it's better than what we have and what others have so far proposed.

Send them to public schools. Get them addicted to NFL football, reality shows & short-attention-span news in air conditioned homes. Let them purchase cheap Chinese devices that pretend to make things simpler while complicating their households. Give them mediocre jobs that support the system abo...

Maybe it's due to shot-spotter limitations

I was connecting a house to my house barefoot and it felt electrified. I got a multimeter and here was 16 volts between my faucet and the other probe stuck into the ground. What could that be from? We have city water. Somewhere in your house, there's probably a neutral tied to your plumbing (or a h...

I've played with Aerogel. It's brittle, extremely porous and liquid (read: humidity) will absolutely destroy it.

If I were able to secretly wiretap every one in the world, I could get Congress to hold a special session just to dance a choreographed version of Thriller on C-Span or get Rosie O'Donnell to shoot a gallon of ice cream with an AK. It's no surprise who steps up and backs military involvement in Syri...

If you don't even use a shotgun as a home defense option, then your opinion doesn't fit the purpose of this thread. Tell us the solution on which you regularly rely. If you're planning to do something else, then hold off until you do it regularly and have enough information to make a contribution t...
