Normal campaign strategy for Democrats. Try to make it sound like support comes from a wide spectrum in order to sound legitimate. If you search, you will find a zillion organizations supporting Obama. Most are the creations of a very few people trying to make themselves sound like a much larger group.

Let's not confuse issues here. 1) If your legally-owned MAC10/45 is the closest weapon to hand when a bunch of home-invaders burst down your door, hose them down and worry about legality later. Protecting yourself and your family comes first. 2) Understand that ANY attempt to protect yourself is liable to turn into a media circus. Whether you fight them off with a butter knife, or an Uzi, it can still get ugly. 3) Doing everything exactly right just means that you and your family stay alive. You may still have a legal nightmare to go through. 4) Have a lawyer's number to call IMMEDIATELY after any such event. Keep in mind that prosecutors will seize upon anything they can find to accuse you with. Most jurisdictions want citizens to use the minimum level of force necessary to stop violence. You will need to be able to justify your actions. If you had an industrial-sized can of bear-spray in your hand when the door came down, you will need to explain why you didn't use that first rather than dropping it to pick up the MAC. Remember that ANYTHING you say to the police can be used against you. That's why you need to call a lawyer ASAP! I'm not a lawyer. The above is what I have garnered from many years of studying self-defense stories.

On the CZ-75 type pistols, the slide is the same width across the models. Since the slide rides inside the frame rails, the frame is wider than the slide. The alloy frame is wider than a steel frame since it takes more aluminum to equal the strength of the steel. FWIW, I have never had a problem with the weight of my CZ-75 Compact. If the steel compact models are out of production, it's a sad day.

Hard to find and expensive as miltary issue ammo. Our government does not believe that it is appropriate for anyone but military to have tracers, sdo it cannot be imported any more. The 7.62x39 tracer bullet is .311 and 124gr. Using a .308 US 148gr tracer bullet will not yield the same trajectory or accuracy as normal 7.62x39 ammo. You will probably need to reduce the powder load significantly to accomodate the 20% heavier bullet.

A reliable, but wet, way to remove Berdan primers is to fill the case with water, use a wooden dowel that fits snigly into the case mouth, and rap it sharply with a stick. The primers usually pop right out. New Berdan primers go in just like a normal Boxer primer. FYI, Hiram Berdan was an American, and Edward Boxer was British. Strange, how we ended up using Boxers and the Brits use Berdans as standard primers.

Look on eBay or GunBroker to get an idea of what they are selling for. Some times, rare reloading dies can bring some decent money.

In 1976 I bought a '67 Austin-Healey Sprite. It had been hit on the left front corner and needed the wheel and suspension replaced before I could even drive it. I learned the joys of tuning an SU carb, frequent master cylinder rebuilds, and the excitement of a genuine Lucas electric system! Yes, I did all of my own work. The first time it rained I learned that the convertible top only kept 75% of the rain out. The JC Whitney catalog was my frequent companion. The trunk stayed full of tools and spare parts. My next car was a new '79 Toyota Corolla.

Why should you cry? These were all modern firearms and the manuafcturers will just make more. This is actually good news! Think about it; a liberal bunch of nutjobs just wasted thousands of dollars to no purpose. In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny; "What a bunch of maroons!"

Don't put your money into something you are not intimately familiar with. If you are looking into a side-line business, then do something you know how to do, and can do well. The best investments are investments in your own skills and abilities. You might look into investing the money on learning a new skill or improving you existing skills. I have probably spent well over $20,000 of my own money on training and schools over the past thirty years. And that doesn't include all the free classes and seminars I have attended. Manufacturer and vendor seminars can be incredibly useful.

All government entitlements will eventually be by card. It costs just a few cents to transfer each card payment versus several dollars or more for each check or voucher transfer. FWIW, I'm against ALL government transfer payments. No matter how you slice it, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul and vote-buying. For every truly hard-working person receiving taxpayer money, there are at least four people just gaming the system to enable an indolent lifestyle and poor decision-making. We are paying people to do stupid things like; not work, have children they cannot afford, and believe they have a 'right' to other people's money. The problem with this is that eventually, you run out of other people's money. We are already headed down that steep path. Almost two-thirds of our budget is transfer payments for entitlements. And almost two-thirds of our federal money comes from borrowing. That's like a family that earns $20,000 each year, but spends $60,000 per year by running up credit cards and loans. One day, it will come to a crashing halt. We are seeing that in Greece, Portugal, Spain, and other countries. And we are borrowing more money to help THEM get out of their debt problems. Who will help US? It's a tall house of cards held up only by wishful-thinking.

On many SKS', corrosive ammo has been used. Check the gas system to make sure it isn't corroded. Some are chromed, and are less likely to have corrosion. But Yugo's are notorious for having corroded gas pistons. Don't mistake filthy dirty for corroded. I can't tell you how many SKS' I've seen that appear to have never been cleaned, but are working fine.

And just to confuse you even further, some .38 Specials were actually marked ".38 S&W Special".

Let's see, your user name is "NYC rules U", you have an anarchist symbol as your avatar, and your signature block says "The Revolution is coming". And you are asking people to show their ARs and AKs to you on a machine gun thread. Sorry, I don't think so.

It's been out of print for some time. The last I herd from Dan Shea was that it would be possibly some time this year that a new edition would be out.

I have a Victor, my wife has a DuraMatic. They are far and away the best bargains available in a .22 pistol! They are both capable of much better shooting than I've ever been able to do. Aside from cleaning, all I've ever had to do is change the recoil springs about every 10K rounds.

Our Founding Fathers were not believers in Democracy. To them, it was a dirty word. There was a reason why they restricted the vote to only free male property owners over 21 years old. They believed that those who were settled and had something to lose would be the ones most interested in adhering to the principle of liberty and upholding the Constitution. Personally, I can't see any reason not to restrict the vote to only those over 21, and requiring a one-time $500 performance bond in order to vote. The bond would be lost in the event you voted illegally. That would stop a LOT of the fraudulent voting!

Considering that probably ten times as many gun owners know about this 'boycott' than anti-gun liberals do, I fully expect Starbucks revenues to spike on 2/14. These turkeys are probably looking at the website visit numbers and rubbing their hands thinking about all the huge numbers of people that will be boycotting Starbucks. I doubt that they realize that 75% of the visits are from pro-gun folks. There are a lot more of us than than there are of them!

Sarco has been around a LONG time. They have stuff even they don't remember what it is. Be careful, though. They tend to be a little bit optimistic in their descriptions of condition. 'Excellent' may mean it doesn't have any major dents or scrapes. 'New' means that nobody has used it. But it may have been in their warehouse for sixty years in a big box with a couple of hundred other items. Still, when you order something, they WILL send it to you, and their customer service has gotten much better.

We have a Neos, and my son loves it. We've had it for about five years, and it has easily seen several thousand rounds. My wife likes her old High Standard DuraMatic better, but enjoys shooting the Neos as well. The Neos grip is smaller than a Ruger, so children and women seem to like it better. Ours has been very reliable, and has no trouble with cheap ammo. It is very easy to take down and clean. Magazines are well-made , inexpensive, stainless steel, and reliable.

I had a .22-250 that started opening up the groups after only about 2000 rds. I also have a CZ-75B with an actual 24,000 rounds through it that is no where near worn out. And like was posted earlier, I challenge anyone to show me a .22lr barrel that is worn out just by shooting it. All of the 'worn-out' .22 barrel I have seen were either just leaded up, or were worn out through running a cleaning rod through it. Heat and pressure are what usually kill a barrel. Hotter, more intense cartridges usually wear out a barrel much faster than slower, cooler cartridges. Other factors are the type of rifling and the quality of the bore material. More surface area from deep rifling can cause wear more quickly. And it's pretty well known that a chrome-lined bore usually lasts twice as long as a good-quality steel one. Chrome has less friction than steel, and is also much harder, leading to less wear.

Nope, I certainly don't want to be shot with either one! I do know that I have hunted deer with a 6" barrel .357 using 158gr JHP. It did the job very nicely out to 100 yards. I don't know that I would attempt this with a .45acp. People have their preferences. If someone wants to be able to reliably shoot .357 mags with an automatic, now they have a decent choice. That's the great thing about a free market. Ideas come to market, and if people like it, they buy it. If they don't like it, you don't have a bureaucrat telling you that it's the ONLY choice! You can even get a .500 S&W designed for CCW! It's certainly not MY choice. But if that's what you want, go for it! Product: Model S&W500

Yep, this has been happening for years. Interestingly enough, most of the stories seem to have a 'Brady Bunch' slant on them. It's kind of like they are trying to drum up some outrage that anyone would have the audacity to actually think it might be legal to carry a handgun! Most of the comments are anti-NYC, though! I know that I sure won't be spending any of my money there!

I got to play with the Coonan .357 a bit last Fall. I have a serious case of 'want'. To me a Desert Eagle feels like a brick. The Coonan feels right. It's on my list for maybe next Fall unless I see a real bargain on one. Ballistically: .357 Winchester 158gr JHP - 1235fps, 535 ft/lbs .357 Winchester 125gr JHP - 1450fps, 583 ft/lbs .45acp Winchester 230gr JHP - 880fps, 396 ft/lbs In what way are they similar?

Typical liberal thought process. Instead of treating those who need help, let's just punish everyone by banning a potentially-useful drug. Same as the logic that says "instead of locking up and punishing violent criminals, let's just ban guns for everyone else."
