  1. Interesting.
  2. So if it will be $599 street price, as I read elsewhere, will the price drop on the S&W M&P 15 Sport since this is in the same price range, but with dust door and forward assist?
  3. Thanks for answering that. I didn't know there would be issues like that. I'll try to keep that in mind when ordering barrels in the future. :up:
  4. So there is no way to thread it for a brake now? 
  5. Just curious why you didn't go fro a brake if it kicks pretty hard.    BTW... NICE RIFLE! :up: 
  6.   My wife said the same thing. LOL 
  7. I guess this applies to the FN Five-seveN as well since it was designed as a 9mm replacement that can penetrate light body armor. :D
  8. Congrats!
  9. With your budget, get 2.... http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/handguns/fnx-series/fnx-45-tactical/ http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/handguns/five-seven/
  10. I looked... :leaving:  :stalk:  :hiding:
  11. There are some college students that also called 911 claiming Bironas threatened to kill them and chased them at high speed. Another witness also called 911 and seen Bironas speed away from the side of the road after the guy tried to confront him for running them off the road. http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2014/09/23/students-say-rob-bironas-chased-threatened/16096649/
  12. Colt LE6920 with Troy rail. Only light one I have.
  13.   So I take it a trigger like the SD3G will shorten the pull and speeding up and smoothing out the action of a bump fire stock? 
  14. How can anyone accurately aim with a bump-fire? It looks like it jumps around all over the place too much. 
  15. Like i said, I'm not taking sides and I'm definitely not defending him. I think what he's doing and how he's going about it is stupid at this point. But we all need to be better and should not hope or wish for harm on anyone. That's all I'm saying. Just a couple of recent posts from where I was seeing the "wishing harm" was posts like this: I said we should hope for the best outcome to all this and I got this in response:   That implies he crawl in a hole and shoot himself....  and this in response to someone mistaking him for an active shooter:   Let's not be this way folks. It goes back to my post. We need to hope for the best possible outcome, which is, he stops doing this and goes on with his life. Because if it turns in to something, it won't go well for him or our rights. The media will crucify all gun owners and that will hurt public opinion of the law abiding non-activist gun owners as well. Again, I'm not taking sides or defending him at all. 
  16. I think the entire NFA is unconstitutional and should be abolished.   That is what we need to work on instead of trying to find a technicality or loophole in their bureaucratic rule making on our rights. 
  17.   You really feel that way?  :ugh:   I'm not taking any sides here, but you guys are getting a bit extreme. :down:   Chill.... Shesh.  :surrender:
  18. Folks, stop wishing this guy be shot or killed by LEO's. I don't want to see LEO's put in that position and I don't think he deserves to die for what he's doing right now. If it went like that, there would also be a media circus and it definitely would hurt the case in the local public eye for gun rights and you can bet more laws would be passed to restrict our rights as a result. So rather than wishing he be shot in a dramatic ending, let's all hope and pray for the best possible outcome for everyone. :2cents:
  19. [quote name="Sam1" post="1189448" timestamp="1410634647"]This idiot is at it again. Was trying to incite over at another county courthouse now: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-6tmSTffkg"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-6tmSTffkg[/url][/quote] That's definitely not how you get people on your side. Saying FU to LEO's for just doing their job and making sure he's not up to no good? This isn't going to end well I have a feeling.
  20. Please comment and show your support for this Dr as he's getting hammered for sticking up for gun owners! :) http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2014/09/11/why-public-health-needs-a-new-gun-doctrine/   I am a public health professional, educated at the vaunted Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Hygiene and Public Health. I like guns, and I believe the Second Amendment clearly secures the rights of individuals to own firearms.   You read that correctly. I am a public health professional.   And I like guns.   This make me a heretic in American public health, where embracing firearms and the rights of gun owners is a gross violation of orthodoxy.   As a society, our focus on guns and not gun users derives from the shock of mass killings, such as those in Newtown, CT, Aurora, CO, Virginia Tech, and Norway, which has some of the strictest gun control laws on the planet. Mass killings, however tragic, get distorted by saturation media hysterics and 24-hour political grandstanding. What gun opponents refuse to discuss is the precipitous fall in violent crime and deaths by firearms over the past 20 years, and how it coincides with an equally dramaticincrease of guns in circulation in the US.   While that isn’t cause and effect, the association is certainly curious.   In 2013, the Institute of Medicine, at the behest of the Centers for Disease Control, produced a report on firearms violence that has been ignored by the mainstream media. The upshot: defensive use of firearms occurs much more frequently than is recognized, “can be an important crime deterrent,” and unauthorized  possession (read: by someone other than the lawful owner) of a firearm is a crucial driver of firearms violence.   That report went away for political reasons. Translation. Nobody wanted to talk about it because it raised more questions than it answered.   The tragic mass murders in Virginia, Colorado, Norway, Connecticut, and most recently California, showcase the failure of the healthcare system, including potential abuse of prescription drugs, and families where parents either checked out or were willfully oblivious to what their children are doing.  They are also outcomes of popular, feel-good movements, such as deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, colliding with communities that had no means to deal with the consequences. Adam Lanza, Anders Breivik, Seung Hui Cho, James Holmes, and Elliot Rodger all needed  treatment, and, if necessary, involuntary commitment, with due process for both admission to a facility and subsequent release.   My public health approach to the problem of gun violence starts with the assumption that every gun owner is not a raving, irresponsible nut, but in fact a person of some seriousness who has a legal right to choose to own a firearm.   My next assumption is that the most egregious gun violence happens in communities that are broken, such as inner city Baltimore and St. Louis.   Again, a topic that is not to be spoken.   Gun control will not fix schools, restore neighborhoods, stabilize disintegrating (wealthy or poor) families, employ people, heal mental illness, rejuvenate local economies, or help create self respect. I support gun courts and mandatory, no-parole sentencing for people who commit gun crimes, with a massive public education campaign to back it up.   Public education works and is central to many public health issues, from highway safety to tobacco use reduction, but for some reason, when it comes to guns, the public health establishment’s histrionic reflex is not to educate but to control and confiscate. According to the FBI, in 2012 there were 8,855 firearms homicides, down 7% since 2008. By contrast, 33,516people died on the nation’s highways in 2012, and alcohol abuse claimed 88,000 lives.   Where’s the clamor to control and confiscate cars, cellphones (deadly when used while driving), and booze?   Before buying a firearm, I took a gun safety class and got advice from experienced friends.   I choose to store my guns in accordance with commonly promoted safety guidelines. My son (10) can pick up each shotgun and ensure that both the magazine and chamber are empty. He can check the safety, point it correctly, and place it safely in a case. He also knows how to hold and hand it to an adult. In a state where guns are ubiquitous, this is an essential skill in case he is ever in the presence of child who thinks that his family’s carelessly unsecured guns are toys, not lethal weapons. Of course, he also knows to exit that room and get an adult.   Gun owners should not, however, get their hopes up that the public health community will ever take them seriously. Public health students are taught early on that guns are evil, that the people who think otherwise are an ignorant, backward, Jerry Springer watching lot and that there are some questions you don’t ask: at least not if you want to pass the class.   This says more about the public health community than it does anything else.   More about that one in a future essay. I think you’ll enjoy it.   Ironically, public health academics happily assert that there is a clear Constitutional right to privacy, even as they vilify a right that is actually expressed in the document, and they merrily condescend to its adherents, whom they regard as pathetic rubes. Here is how gun owners can thwart the push to have doctors ask about the presence of guns in a home during a routine history and physical: refuse to answer on the grounds of the much heralded penumbra-emanating right to privacy.   As for the claim that gun rights proponents oppose the conduct of legitimate research, consider this. Many years ago, I asked a very powerful anti-gun academic the following questions: What proportion of gun crimes are committed by the lawful owner of a legally purchased firearm, and what percentage of lawful gun owners use their firearm in commission of a crime?  He said that he did not know, and that he would oppose conduct of the research to answer both questions.   The answer was no surprise, and neither should my rejoinder be:molon labe.
  21. Sorry to hear of your loss, David. :(
  22. As I said, I'm in CA right now and had it shipped to my folks house. But soon as I get back home and try it, I'll let you know how I like it! Thanks again, Sam! :up:
  23. Thanks, Sam! :up:
  24. He kind of sounds like a person that might snap, hearing how bitter he is over getting caught driving drunk. He couldn't pass field sobriety test, got the charge lowered to reckless driving, and he's still bitter enough to want the LEO fired and is protesting it with a gun? They might want to keep an eye on this one.
