I do however remember seeing a sign outside of a show somewhere stating that you could not do it. I think it was an insurance thing. In all truth rumors like this probably get started in order to prevent people from showing up to shows, doing business outside, and then leaving without ever giving the show any of their money. I could see the people that run these shows becoming irritated at this happening if it appeared a lot were doing it.

I told you guys this is the MOACS (Mother OF All Conspiracy Sites). You know you have hit gold when your site makes the claim that other conspiracy sites are conspiracies! And Hitler was Disney was Roosevelt http://wellaware1.com/hitler.htm

I too just received the same message from Fleischmann. I have yet to receive anything from the senators.    I STILL want to know what happens if someone sends a message to one of these candidates asking FOR more gun control. Will the receive an appeasement response as well? In other words, is it possible to get them to support two positions at once via email?

And right there in the middle...Cleveland, TN VOW Hahahahaha.

I think part of all this may have originated from here:   http://wellaware1.com/fairfield.htm   MOACS

Equilibrium.   Equilibrium is where the supply meets the demand. The point in which these two meet is the market price. Anything below the market price and you have a shortage. If, magically speaking, right now 7.62x39mm rounds were going for 25 cents a round, there would be a huge shortage. You wouldn't be able to find it anywhere, at all. That's assuming that 25 cents was as high as they could possibly sale.    Personally, I like knowing that I can buy something (even at a higher rate) due to the market adjusting, vs not being able to buy something because I literally cannot find it. I don't know what people are actually paying for 7.62x39mm ammo, but if they are paying for it at $1 per round, all that would happen if it were currently going for 25 cents a round is people would buy four times as much. It would disappear 400% quicker. If they are paying $1 per round, it is based upon the fact that the supply cannot keep up with the demand. The demand for II Amendment related stuff over the last month has skyrocketed. The only things that can bring price back down are two possible things:   Supply catches up with demand. Demand falls.   Both of those are based upon what the speculation of legislation is.   If the suppliers feel a ban is coming, do you think they wish to invest capital in expanding production lines? If demand feels a ban is coming, that means they have to purchase everything they want now.    If the suppliers don't feel a ban is coming, do you think they will invest capital in expanding production lines in order to meet the current demand? Perhaps. It depends on how much capital they need to invest vs expected return. If demand feels a ban isn't coming, do you think they will pay inflated prices?   Also, I offer this bid of supposed wisdom. People keep complaining about inflated prices. Well, I've also heard the following logic promoted around here, "Don't sale anything that you would regret selling if a ban were to pass". In other words, even if you could sale your AR-15 for $3000 that you only paid $1000 for, is it really worth it if a ban comes within this year? Over the next decade, would you rather have your AR-15 or an extra $3000?    I take that logic and ask the other side of the same coin. If you do not have an AR-15, and you know you want one, is $3000 worth the security in knowing that you have one that you can own today? What if legislative talks this week go haywire and not in our favor? Then AR-15 prices will jump even more. $5000? $10,000? It all depends on demand and supply. If you do not have an AR-15, and want one, and you knew 100% that a ban would pass within a few months, what would you pay? Would you rather have that AR-15 over the next 10 years, or the $3,000, $5,000, or $10,000 that it costs to purchase it. That is called opportunity cost.    There are those that say a ban won't pass. Many people said that in '94. Hell. Remember, supposedly the Hughes Amendment didn't pass. Try paying the taxes on a newly manufactured machine gun as a citizen and see how that goes for you. Look at healthcare. How much of the country was and is against it? Guess what we have now. Tell me the ban won't pass. I hope you are right. But what if you are wrong? One, five, ten years from now, are you going to be spiteful at how much "price gouging" went on in 2013, or are you going to be spiteful that you didn't buy a few more magazines and possibly a gun or two and some ammo? If a ban passes, I doubt it will be the first.    I don't agree with the accepted concept of "price gouging". In order to believe in price gouging, I claim that you must first believe that the seller has an obligation to sell you something. If you own a gas station and a national crisis such as 9/11 happens, who says you have to sale your gas in the first place? What if you wish to keep the tanks full so that you know you have a steady supply for yourself for a while? You might say to yourself, "I am keeping this gas, but if someone wants to pay me $100 a gallon, I'll sell them how ever much they want". A few people might take you up on that, and you might make a huge return on a percentage of your initial investment. But if the price is capped (price ceiling), look what happens. People buy a lot of it and then it is all gone!    Some will disagree with me. I know. Some will agree. I have a very strong belief in the free market system.    Equilibrium  (It's also a really great movie)

It's pretty late, so I may be having a more difficult time that usual in decoding things, but I am having a hard time getting "vote already agreed upon" from anything in that alleged conversation.

Depends entirely upon what sort of ban we have. It could be that the roughly $10 that each mag is worth could be $100, or even more, in a few months. Depends on legislation. I believe after the '94 ban, you could still sale whatever you wanted to as long as it was "pre-ban". In that scenario, you have a very fixed number of magazines (supply) and theoretically an increasing number of people wishing to purchase them (demand). In the scenario, the sky is the roof in determining the price of a Pmag. It's called capitalism. However, we'd have an artificially reduced supply (legislatively), so prices would skyrocket.   Or it could go the other way, and legally speaking you could only possess what you already own with no option for transfer. Worse case scenarios? Either you have to register each high capacity magazine with the BATFE for $200, or not even be able to posses them at all legally.   How it plays out is really up to us. If we (gun owners) lay down to sleep and accept whatever is imposed against us, then it could be very bad. If we (gun owners) call and write our representatives, encourage others to do the same, and educate the "uneducated" about things, we stand a chance. And in that scenario, hopefully in a few months it will be exactly the same as it is now.   I will say this though: If people are getting frustrated with current market prices of rifles and Pmags, keep in mind that current market pricing will look like a bargain if anything resembling a ban happens. 

I never really thought about reloading a long gun one handed. You seem to have a method down that works pretty well. 

Ok, I've met my quota.    If anyone else is interested in reading the book, it's only 99 cents on Amazon if you have some sort of Kindle device. If you don't feel like buying it, perhaps one of the original 10 that I bought it for will buy it for you after they read it:)   So if you are interested in possibly a free copy down the road, perhaps make a claim here saying you'd like one. Perhaps someday someone will take you up on that offer!   Looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks once they've read it.

ochretoe,   PM me your email and the last copy is yours!

I am still willing to purchase one more copy if someone wants it.   How are the reads coming fellers?

  And 10 years from now the only transferable AR's are the ones that are to be registered via NFA just like machine guns. That $1500 purchase may be worth a house at that point. Impossible to say, but it's just all speculation. I say, sell it at market value, and don't feel bad. Feel bad if you buy at current market value and then 6 months from now whatever you purchased today is worth 50% of what you paid for you. THAT is when you feel bad:)   But don't ever sell anything for any amount of money if you like the item you are selling and can do without the extra bit of money. That $1500-$2000 might seem great now, but lets say that there was a ban and you could not in the forseable future legally purchase whatever you sold.

Also factor in these two likely scenarios:   Confiscation would be best implemented in tough times. In tough times you need lots of law enforcement. If the best and only chance a LEO has at feeding his family and keeping them from starving is from being a LEO, he may do things he disagrees with morally.    Also, although many LEO's may generally agree with the 2nd Amendment, there are many things that LEO's hate. Criminalize "Assault Rifle" owners to the point that they are considered terrorists, and then LEO's are "fighting the bad guys" aren't they?   That's the way Nazis killed a bunch of Jews isn't it?

Well, if there is a shred of truth to it, I believe it is that he is an extremely unlucky person.   I'd say the brass probably got lodged into his leg a bit, but who wanted to report that?

Articles such as that to which the OP linked to are between a rock and a hard place. Just because they cannot be proven true doe not mean that they aren't true, but just because they cannot be proven false does not mean that they aren't false. I feel that many articles such as this are based some on facts, some on what is believed by the author to be facts, and some on fiction.    Many years ago, it is my understanding that one (possibly more) men tried to warn the world about what the Nazis were up to. I believe one such man was Jan Karski. If someone in a modern day country tried to warn others of something that was going to happen, it'd be near impossible to get anyone to truly believe them. Some things you just have to wait and see I suppose. Since we cannot verify a single thing about the "Insider", the next best thing we can do is take a look at Douglas Hagmann. This article wasn't originally on that Canadian site. Hagmann has his own website here.   If it were to turn out that Hagmann was generally a very trustworthy reporter/writer, then that adds + to the linked to article. If he generally isn't trustworthy, that adds - to the linked to article. But even if he is the ++++iest person in the world, he is assuming that the alleged "Insider" is who he claims to be and that he even has a clue what is going on.   Sorta like how every gunshop owner has met hundreds of special forces snipers.   My main comment on the story is this: I really hope that there is no credibility at all to the story, but for all I know it could be true or it could be false. That is all I know.

I wrote the two Senators an email within a few days of the shooting. I have yet to hear a pipsqueak from them. 

So she balked on the no grandfathering and replaced it with NFA controlled grandfathering. She probably had to concede that no grandfathering that she was proclaiming a few weeks ago, but making potentially millions of firearms NFA items...that's huge.    A few around here are sleeping peacefully because they don't feel anything major would get through the house. I personally, wonder about stuff like this at night!

I've had mine for probably 2-3 years. They are built very well, and (presumably) the company will fix them if anything goes wrong. You will probably be surprised at how much force you can build up in the thing, and it can be either a very soothing, gentle "rehab" or a violent strength workout.

I've had one of these for a few years, and it is a very unique little toy. I ended up making it my TGO Secret Santa purchase, and also purchased one for my brother and my brother-in-law for Christmas. They both loved them, and I think Romad7 on here thought it was pretty neat as well. I could spend a while explaining them on here, but I will just link you here. I will attest that it indeed shows more "resistance" the faster it spins. It seems an unorthodox way to workout some muscles in your arms and possibly shoulders that don't typically get much use. It is supposed to result in greater hand strength and grip, which I can easily see if you use it regularly. I assume that it would possibly translate to greater handgun control!

No, the 76 cents was for the interest on what I owed them from April to December. The original "bill" for ~$600 had an added expense of $12 to cover the 3% interest that accrued since I was owing the IRS money. Since instead of owing them the ~$600 for those months I owed them $38 for those months, the interest accrued was 76 cents.

Between the HD's and the Bright & Tough Trijicon lines, which one is rated "tougher"? I am interested in the HD"s as all I have experience with are the Bright & Tough line.

Searching Youtube for "shock collar on human" can provide loads of entertainment!   So Caster...tell us which of those videos are you!
