Obama vid wanting to ban assault rifles
Wingshooter replied to ted's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Where's the poll that says, "keep your Kenyan hands OFF my Constitution!" ? -
As far as changing the gas block, it's not hard at all if it's a clamp on. Usually an A2 sight/gas block will have taper pins that can be a pain but not complicated. The roll pin that holds the gas tube will have to be driven out with a punch... Not hard just dont loose it. You can use black tape to cover adjacent surfaces to keep from scratching your new gun. Brownells has great videos that show the process.... http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=11009/learn/

Bank of America Jumping on the Band Wagon
Wingshooter replied to TSprint1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
They need to change their name. Doesn't seem that they know much about what they claim to be the bank of. Bank of.... AMERICA? Yet they want to restrict a legit business from enjoying the 2a. -
Move to arm teachers picks up steam in TN
Wingshooter replied to QuietDan's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I agree that eliminating the gun free zone is the absolute best approach. HCP holders would be enough to stop these kinds of threats IF there are any present at a particular location. Eliminate the gun free zone AND have an officer. Along with some common sense security practices to harden the target, etc -
Was patient...and didn't get a Deer :(
Wingshooter replied to EastHipster's topic in Hunting and Fishing
A good hunter makes those kinds of decisions. It stinks not bringing home the deer but still sounds like a "successful" hunt to me! I had to work a lot and missed the whole season except one afternoon. However, i did get To watch 2 fawns play in a creek. -
They are doing it in Illinois, next the country

Cool. -
He may threaten to issue a very restrictive EO in hopes of manipulating some legislators into passing something more lenient (but still bad) just to avoid his EO. I bet he'll try to leverage it as a "choose the lesser of two evils" type of scenario. Seems to be his Chicago style.

Move to arm teachers picks up steam in TN
Wingshooter replied to QuietDan's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
When my youngest first started kindergaten, it surprised me just how easy anyone can walk into most schools from most any door. If you go to a restaurant, bank, hotel, government building, etc you usually have restricted access in some form. I know parents/guardians need full access to their kids at all times, but some simple no-nonsense changes would prevent most crazies from skipin' on in. Basically... Harden the access, allow those inside to be armed, and keep the BG guessing as to how many armed LEOs (or HCPs) are present. This is nothing different than what most on here have been saying, but If the gubment wants to regulate something, I would support these measures specifically... 1) eliminate gun free zones (any HCP can carry) 2) provide additional training in firearms and self defense to teachers/staff that desire it 3) place steel fire doors on all exterior doors (except front) 4) lock those doors during school hours. Panic bars would let students out in case of fire, etc. 5) guard the front door with paid LEO (maybe undercover??) 6) only parents, legal guardians, or those with a need to enter the school can do so and at any time through the front door 7) install panic button at front door, in office and other strategic locations in school. If this audible alarm is sounded, teachers close and lock classroom doors with kids gathered inside. Prepare to defend themselves from the crazy out in the concrete hallway. This is where an armed teacher really pays off. 8) train the staff on situational awareness and proper responses 9) advertise through signage and media that additional undercover LEOs may be present (keep their numbers and identity confidential). Maybe they are there, maybe they aren't...? Funding for the LEO, training and facility upgrades would be the kicker, but I bet O'Dufus-in-DC would spend more $$ just trying to fight the 2A. Additionally, I bet most parents would be willing to pitch in through the PTO if necessary. Obviously even these steps would not guarantee 100% safety, but that does not exist anywhere anyway. Common sense may never happen though because some of those in charge are not really interested in making schools safer. It is more about their agenda. Just my take -
What's in Georgia? They have mags there? I need some for the 19

Wingshooter replied to QuietDan's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
That deserves a re-post. Awesome vid. That's the first time I've seen that particular one, and I enjoyed watching it. No reason Hickok or any other permit holder should be restricted from defending themselves or the kids. -
Washington Post Gun Control Jan 5 2013
Wingshooter replied to ted's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Baton down the hatches, folks. Now more than ever we must contact our reps (and even reps other than our own). Support the NRA! This administration will use tooth and nail to ram this through just like commie-care. Our country is under attack. Time add "attack on the 2nd Amendment" to this list... https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/we-request-obama-be-impeached-following-reasons/cpk4V6zK -

What is as Scarce as 22 Ammo, 223 and PMAGS?

9mm 3 carbide dies back in stock at midway just today. Crimp die sold separate in stock. Pricier that way though (prob about the same as the eBay price) http://www.midwayusa.com/product/557190/lee-carbide-factory-crimp-die-9mm-luger http://www.midwayusa.com/product/140349/lee-carbide-3-die-set-9 Now, if I could just find some glock 19 hi cap mags... -
Midway has been the fastest I have experienced yet. That's the first place i like to use. I placed an order earlier today and just got the email that it has been shipped! DSGARMS.com was surprisingly fast, too. The order I placed at brownells on the 18th shipped the day after I sent a polite email last week. I have G19 mags on back order from a couple places that will probably ship after I'm too old to enjoy them.
-
I hope they announce that they have a ton of G19 15rnd mags ready to ship out ASAP! I can't find them anywhere.

I wonder how much traction the common since approach will get.... -----------quote-------- Two freshman Republicans introduced contrary bills that would end federal law requiring that areas around schools be designated as "gun free zones." These bills, H.R. 35 from Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) and H.R. 133 from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), are a response to findings that violence in and around schools has increased since the gun free zone law took effect in 1990. "By disarming qualified citizens and officials in schools we have created a dangerous situation for our children," Stockman said. "In the 22 years before enactment of 'gun free school zones' there were two mass school shootings. "In the 22 years since enactment of 'gun free schools' there have been 10 mass school shootings," he added. "Not only has the bill utterly failed to protect our children it appears to have placed them in danger."

A. Coulter: Post a map of women who have had abortions

I was watching when she said that, too. I really do think it is about time for the libs to get a dose of their own medicine. If for no other reason than to take their minds off guns and re-direct their attention. -
