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!

I overestimated the total gains. Total tax owed ended up being $38. I threw in an extra $.76 in order to cover 3% for 10 months (they were charging me $12 interest for the initial amount owed. 

So I have a question guys:   Are Bushmasters considered assault weapons that spray bullets everywhere and kill innocent bystanders or precise snipers that can pinpoint anyone within a 10 mile radius?   Because they cannot be both!

I am also fairly concerned about the Battle Mug being banned.

I have not yet calculated the exact number, but I estimate probably a total net gain of $800. I only played around with them a bit and then quickly realized that it was much to stressful for me so I sold them and haven't messed with them for nearly a year. I plan on later this week consulting with the CPA that did it last year and seeing what can go on. Hopefully the amount owed can be brought down. If not, oh well.

I thought that they only taxed the net profit. With the appropriate documents and forms, should it be possible to get the amount that I owe down some?

Received a letter from the IRS yesterday. It's a Merry Christmas! I owe an additional $600 for 2011's taxes. Basically (from what I understand), I did a bit of trading on E*Trade, and it wasn't accounted for. However, when I filed my taxes at a local bookkeeper, he essentially said that unless it was a certain amount that I shouldn't worry about it. Well now I get a sheet listing all the (few) sales I made, and their amounts. It is essentially setup to look like all that money was income. However, I argue that the income is the difference between the total of what I paid and the total of what it sold for. Is this not the way the IRS sees it? Does the IRS see it as additional income for what you sell a stock for?

Was doing some pondering about magazines today (while playing Black Ops 2 online).    Assuming that you are using your firearm to send bullets towards another human being, the only time magazine capacity matters is if you are being confronted. A single shot or bolt action rifle could be used to slaughter literally HUNDREDS of unarmed people if they couldn't defend themselves. If an active shooter isn't confronted with violence, he has all the time in the world to manipulate his single shot rifle or shotgun. However, place that active shooter up against an armed opposer with a high capacity magazine, the high capacity magazine shines in its ability to provide quick follow up shots.    Active shooters will always be able to take extra firearms, or extra magazines. It makes no difference from an active shooter standpoint if he has a single shot rifle or an AR-15 with multiple 30 round magazines if he faces no confrontation.

I am wondering if it is a Walther P1 type firearm.   I've found that Helman is referenced here:   http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=320251061   From what I gather, a Walther P1 would be in that general price range, I believe.   Also wonder what the chances of it being a Frankengun, being a German/Egyptian child?   Try to get a photo up if you can!

With that much concentration of gun carriers it is an absolute miracle that there isn't a blood bath on every street!

I don't care how much some of this stuff is going for, it is capitalism at its finest. I bought 100 of those P-mags the week of the election. I had $9.37 in each of them, and sold them for $12 each. I made what I considered a fair amount while moving inventory quickly. I planned on using the $1200 to purchase more of them, but a few places were out of stock so I procrastinated. Had I purchased $1200 of them (roughly 130 of them), you'd bet your bottom dollar I'd be selling them for current market value at $50 each or even higher if it goes there. Admittedly, this is part of the problem, possibly an artificially reduced supply because people are hoarding in order to later make a profit, but I am ok with it. Were it other items such as food or water in a crisis, I would still understand that capitalism would be at play. However, I would in that situation feel sorry that lower income families could not pay market value for food or water. Am I sad that not everyone right now is able to purchase a 33 round Glock magazine for less than a couple hundred? Nope.

  Until they write you a ticket for speeding.

  I really wish everyone could be more upfront about high capacity magazines. It's nice to have high capacity magazines because the band guys could have high capacity magazines. If you consider high capacity magazines to be good only for slaughtering lots of people, are you concerned that cops have them? If not, then what is the difference between a cop having one and a law abiding citizen with good intentions having one? 

  If this is true, sorry. I would not have posted the links had I known this. I'm a Mac user, and had no idea.

You're very welcome!

Someone has to have a comment.

Three more everyone. 

You're welcome everyone! 4 more to anyone that wants them. Perhaps a comment or two (without revealing anything) from someone who has started it?

BUT. I first found it on CNN and had to switch to Fox because CNN cut to commercial right in the middle on his speech.
