Curious - just skimmed a relevant post on the topic: Social Security is NOT An Entitlement from the Government - Contrary to the Propaganda MSM and the Government are Spewing right now! Here are the FACTS about Social Security! Among other things, she points out that since its inception, SS has taken in 13.8 trillion, and only paid out 11.3 trillion. Interesting... (I don't vouch for any of this, just throwing a little gas on the fire!)

+1000 Some people shouldn't have guns - or children.

Your hand will heal. The gun never will.

+1 Sportsman's Guide! With buyer's club and flat rate shipping, ammo prices are competitive. I've bought various handgun ammo as well as surplus 8mm Mauser and 7.62x54r, all at or near best prices at the time. On other merchandise, quality can be hit or miss, especially on milsurp stuff, but I am well satisfied with their Guide Gear house brand. My one return (of an item shipped from a third party distributor) was handled promptly. I think Buyer's Club has 'saved' me about $250 so far. Almost as bad as a C&R license. And no, I'm not being compensated for the free publicity.

Moral of this story: always lock your Kahr.* * saying shamelessly stolen from some anonymous commenter somewhere.

Baja, given your penchant for thread resurrection, steam locomotives, and B movies, your recycling of the “blame Bush†meme is hardly surprising. But, as it was once said in the hills of East Tennessee, that dog won’t hunt. A little more recent history, if you will. [/url] From Mike’s conversation with an ATF informant: Although Project Gunrunner started in 2005, the strategy of walking guns into Mexico apparently began in 2009. And, the guns recovered at the scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s murder were purchased and walked in January 2010.

Semi related: Chiappa Firearms Introducing RFID Trackers in Their Firearms Only 2 Berettas and a Pietta in my collection - guess I'll lay off the spaghetti guns for awhile.

"Gunwalker" makes Washington Post: Can we say "busted wide open" now? A gunrunning sting gone fatally wrong. I linked the printable option so you can see it all on one page. Also, Mike makes World Net Daily, and David on the "perfect storm of idiocy" Later today: the third round of hearings in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

...or enabled said criminal activity to proceed:...the FBI, via NICS, knowingly allowed the purchases to go forward after consulting with the BATFE.

Related thread at Calguns - looks like he met the banhammer over there, too!

Wayne seems to have rediscovered his spine, MIA since his "jack-booted government thug" days. Anyway, it's a good sign.

Unconstitutional gun laws are a federal offense, IMO.

Doesn't say how many were bought by ATF and DEAFBI "informants" either.

Great! I haven't purchased any guns from Aim, but am more than pleased with their accessories and ammo. When it arrives, don't forget: pictures!

I'm happy with SOG. My only long gun order from there, 3 rifles, $7.65 S&H (I believe they were running a "free shipping" special.) Around $20 for 2+ pistols. Minor gripe: For non-c&r guns, they require a letter from your FFL that specifically authorizes you to purchase - not just a license on file. Also their product descriptions aren't very - descriptive.

Arbitrary ruling, search warrant the same day, raid the next morning. Confiscation of items that were completely legal less than 24 hours earlier. Ex post facto, anyone? The BATFE is a criminal enterprise. Molon Labe...

Their website IMO is primitive, to say the least. And security is non-existent. Both times I ordered online, my card number was compromised within a week or two. No problem with one phone order. Although happy with the products ordered, I'm unlikely to use them again.

What courage! What fortitude! FOUR Years?! I don't think I held out four hours. The P-64 is a fine little pistol - congratulations.

Made a couple of minor edits to the OP - that's what I get for relying on memory.

The walk is serious business...Walmart is the joke!

I had interesting results from my Pietta “1851 Navy†.44 caliber, 7-1/2" barrel, yesterday afternoon. I loaded and fired six rounds of each load: 24 grain and 27 grain loads of Pyrodex P (FFFg); 27 grains of Pyrodex RS (FFg); and 24 grains of Goex FFFg. All loads are volume equivalent using .38 Special and .357 Magnum cases to measure 24g and 27g loads respectively. All used a .454 caliber cast lead round ball, 140 grain, unpatched. Velocity data (FPS) was taken from my ProChrono Digital Chronograph at approximately 10’ from muzzle. 24g P|27g P|27g RS|24g Goex FFFg 1 | 642 | 786 | 895 | 833 2 | 694 | 864 | 955 | 815 3 | 562 | 799 | 926 | 841 4 | 637 | 798 | 891 | 835 5 | 612 | 778 | 949 | 820 6 | 559 | 733 | 920 | 834 ______________________ A | 618 | 793 | 923 | 830 - Average S | 51.7 | 42.4 | 26.6 | 9.9 - Standard Deviation I jumped straight to the 27 grain load for the Pyrodex RS powder, on the assumption that it would be less efficient than Pyrodex P in the revolver. Boy, was I wrong! In fact, two of the rounds (guess which two!) dislodged the ramrod from its latch underneath the muzzle, and had me checking for possible damage before proceeding to the next round. The Pyrodex P was stored in a brass powder dropper, while the other powders were fresh from the can. I have no other explanation for the inconsistent and relatively anemic performance of the supposed black powder equivalent. The Goex FFFg appears to be both potent and remarkably consistent. Guess you get what you pay for. I know now which load to carry during muzzleloader season. IMHO,YMMV,IANAL,YADAYADAYADA

Prayers for you and yours - and thanks for the many things I've learned from your work at Mouseguns, as well as your posts here.

Gunwalker Alert: Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars to be on Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier tonight at 6:PM EDT, 5PM CDT.

They do log the make, model, and caliber of the qualifying firearm, although they no longer record the serial number.

Alexander sponsored this piece of excrement. His departure is long overdue.
