Moped

There were also thousands of people notifying Reed that because of their stance towards modern firearms, they would not be attending! This is going to make some businesses take notice and I hope Congress as well.  If we all don't stand together we will get steamrolled!  I'd rather be doing the steamrolling of the other side!!!

There should not be compromise on anything, period!

I think Alexander better REALLY consider how he votes on this one, because, his butt may be moving back to Tennessee in 2014, with a bad decision on an AWB vote.

That's the proper attire for Nazi hunting! :)

Plain edge.  I hate serrations, not matter how pretty the knife is.  My last serrated knife was a RAT 1 which I do carry everyday in my pack. I'd love to trade it for a plain edge RAT 1.

http://www.wbir.com/news/article/250556/2/KPD-aims-to-trade-for-more-powerful-handguns   KPD wants to move away from Glock .40s to Sig .45ACPs!  According to the article, the SIGs are more accurate, with better ergonomics, longer lifespan (!0 years Vs 4 years) and are harder hitting.  They plan to start the transition in February and be done in April.   It's interesting to see a department move to an older caliber!

I think the only thing you can do with those older Mini-14s is trade them in for an AR or a Saiga.  OS swears the new ones are much better now, but I'll just take his word for it.  I doubt I will ever buy another one.  Two was enough for me.

  I will continue to bang away as often as you pull the trgger!  No reloading!!! :)

A fool and their money...

My personal hope is that most gun owners in NY will give their Governor and Government the middle finger salute and refuse to abide by the law.  If enough people stand up to the State Government there, then said Government will most likely back down.  It would cost a whole lot of money for them to incarcerate most or all their gun owners.

Keep this in mind also, this country will not be allowed to have another Civil War.  The minute it looks like this country will descend into anarchy, the world will step in.  And it will very likely step in on the side of the officially elected Government.  Why will they do this? Two reasons, the first being we have the largest nuclear arsenal.  And the UN will want that under control.  The second reason will be because we are the world's only super power left and China and Russia will see a grand opportunity to bring us down to their level of even lower.  Regardless of the reason, we will all lose, regardless of which "side " we are on.

I believe there is a gang of stick up artists operating here in Knoxville at the moment.  Armed robbery seems to be WAY up over the last three or so weeks.

I don't consider the schools my kids attend, to be prisons, and I do want my children respectful and trusting of our local LEOs.  We may be our own first line of defense when it comes to crime, but LEO's are the cavalry for all of us.  Part of the crime problem we have today, is due to the fact that we have whole communities that will not talk to or cooperate with LE on a local level.  It's in those communities where crime is a problem and ends up costing us so much tax money, because we have to have more LEOs, courts, jails, and prisons. It's because of those communities, that Liberals in this country are trying to take away our 2A rights.  So yes, I think it's a good idea for my kids to be comfortable around LEOs.   There is a trust element that I am not comfortable with when it comes to teachers carrying firearms.  When it comes to SRO's, I am much more comfortable with them, due to their increased level of training.  If we are going to arm a few teachers in every school, then I think they need to under go rigorous training just like police officers do. And they should be paid an additional amount of money for what they are doing as well.  If we are going to do that, then when not just put an SRO on duty.

Once we defeat all this crazy talk and the proposed bills in Washington (and we will), then the bubble will burst and you will start to see a lot of them come back on the market at reasonable prices.  There are going to be a lot of people out of a lot of money when this happens.

I have no problem with qualified teachers being selected and armed.  But my personal preference would be to see armed SRO's in all schools for two reasons.   One, they are better trained than the average teacher would ever be (short of a combat veteran or an ex-police officer). I currently only know one teacher that I think would be qualified enough to be armed at a school.   Two. I think it's great for children to learn that they can trust a police officer.  You would be surprised how well children get to know the support staff at school and that includes SROs.  I do think SRO's need additional training above your average patrol officer on how to interact with children in a school environment.  I think that's a different situation than being on the street.   Currently I know several teachers and I only consider one of them qualified to be armed.  He is also one of the best shots I know with either a pistol or rifle and a veteran.  I quizzed my High School Senior about which teacher she thought would be qualified to be armed at her school and she said there was only one that she thought was qualified to carry a firearm, and he is a also a veteran,

Honestly, I think there isn't a state Northeast of Virginia that I care to visit anymore, except New Hampshire.  They have all turned socialist and really seem to be no part of the United States any longer, nor do they recognize the Constitution.

I was just at Crossroad Guns on Broadway (was Randy's Guns) and I think they had 1 AR10 mag.  Not sure of the capacity.  Might want to give them a call.

Very good response!

  I don't think legally that could happen since you are supposed to do business at a specific location, by law.  I could see individuals obtain an FFL to do nothing but background checks for a fee though, especially if all this crap goes down. I think if this crappy law were to pass, the demand for such a service would be steady, especially, if your price was reasonable.  And you don't have to keep inventory on hand.  Could be a good business!  I've thought about it, but I'm not sure I want to deal with the ATF ever again.  Been down the FFL road once.     It would be just another form of registration.  Totally against that too.

I've never shot a better semi-automatic pistol than a Browning Hi-Power.  I find the Beretta to be way bigger than it really needs to be.  And I've never been a fan of the CZ's narrow slide.  I always found it hard to grasp the slide and pull it back due to it's narrowness.  They are still great pistols.

It ain't over till the Fat Lady sings.  She ain't singing yet.

I feel my blood pressure going up again... :(

I am totally against it.  It's just another form of registration. 

I think there will be a lot of weapons on GB and other websites from New York.  I don't see how any modern full size semi-automatic pistols, other than a 1911 will still be usable, unless new magazines are produced by the manufacturers.  I suspect a lot of small pocket pistols will survive, though.  Prices on these new magazines will be high as well, for New York State Gun owners, because there will have to be new tooling to make these new magazines, which costs the manufacturer more money for not a lot of return, because it's only for one state.  Could you all see Glock, S&W, CZ or Beretta produce an entire new line of magazines just for New York State?  I really can't.  And you know the State of New York is going to require some sort of permanent fix for these.   The really stupid thing is the crooks are still going to get the hi-cap mags and use them. They just created a whole new black market for hi-cap magazines up there. I can see people coming down here from New York and buying thousands of dollars worth magazines and taking them back up north and re-saling them for 2 or 3 times the amount.  I can also see a lot of owners totally ignoring the law and keeping what they got.    All this does is punish the legal gun owners.

Something tells me that the days of a background check taking 10 or 15 minutes are about to be a thing of the past.  I could see a background check taking as long as 3 to 5 days, if the Feds get involved.  You know they will deliberately slow the pace down.  It will be a defacto waiting period.
