  This is how I feel. This kid killed people and the Aurora shooter killed many more. Both were US citizens. If you are going to treat this kid as a terrorist you need to charge the aurora shooter, as well as dozens of other killers, as a terrorists. I think people see muslim and automatically assume they are affiliated with a terroristic organization but so far none have claimed responsibility. Al Qaeda has even denied what could have been an easy moral booster to their organization. So in the end I think this kid is a killer like any other but his face will be the face of terror until the next attack comes. If we are basing him being a terrorist on the fact he is muslim then every other muslim should be a terrorist anytime they commit a crime. Or if it is because they kill multiple people then there are a lot of terrorists out there. Or if it is because he used explosives then there are a lot of killers out that have used an explosive. I think, in the end, he is just a killer that used and explosive to kill. He is still a sick individual that should be held accountable in the same way as any other citizen who committed a similar crime.   We have a much larger problems than terrorists. The "Global War on Terror" is name used to garner support for a lot of the operations we do that are questionable at best and outwright wrong at worst. Everyday we are killing innocent people in other countries in this "Global War on Terror". On top of that the rights of US citizens are being trampled on every day in the name of the "Global War on Terror". Our guns will eventually be taken away by the governement in the name of this "Global War on Terror" because the powers that be are already trying to connect the two to garner support. Our right to privacy has, and will continue to, be eroded by the government every day because of the"Global War on Terror". Almost every article in the Bill of Rights will likely be be null and void before the "Global War on Terror" is declared over, if it ever is. And the "Global War on Terror" will be the excuse given every time a right we once had is taken away. And if you think about all that has been taken away from us then you realize the terrorists are winning. Terrorist, by definition, is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. We have been coerced, by the terrorist and our own governemnt, to accept the loss of freedom(s) as acceptable in hopes of preventing terrorism. And in my eyes the terrorists win every time we are coerced into believing that loosing just one more freedom for the hope of security is acceptable.   I believe it isn't the terrorists most Americans have to worry about but what the government does in the name of preventing terrorism.   Then beyond this fear of terror we have our economy that is getting worse every day and that is what really worries me. I believe all the terrorist attacks combined will pale in comparison to the death toll if our economy collpased, even if only for a few months. But a collapse is what is needed to reset everything. When you consider how many actually depend on their benefit then you will see how bad it will be when those benefits stop. And in the wake of any type of collapse there will be even more freedoms taken away.

Or a by name tax on firearms.   If there is a government list there is a chance is could be ruled public and released. I do not want all the thieves in my area to know what I have.

It isn't so much the number as it is how quickly they are bought.   It is almost like you are a binge AR buyer.

But how long can we hold and interogate an individual before being charged or advised of his rights?   I think this is very, very slippery.

+1 Was typing out the same thing when I updated the thread.

I say all executions should be live on television. Most occur in the middle of the night so all those who should not be watching should not be up. And the death should be in a similar manner as the reason they are being put to death. If they stab someone 20 times then they should be stabbed 20 times. If they kill someone because they were driving drunk then they should replace those safety dummies during all vehicles tests.

Doesn't matter if he can or cannot speak. Before they ask him a single question regarding the offense he must be advised of his rights.   Before questioning a person needs to be advised of their rights. If they are not then anything they answer is not admissible. Now if they make spontaneous statements not in response to questioning it can be admitted but once you start asking questions they must have been advised of their rights.

They, as in the authorities, already have.  The government said they did not read him his miranda rights. They stated because of "public safety" they could not at the time he was taken into custody, which I understand completely. Now, even though he is sitting in a hospital room safe and secure, they said they were going to wait even longer because of "public safety" concerns. They said they are going to go ahead and question him before they read him his miranda rights because of "public safety" concerns. He IS a US citizen and he is entitled to the same rights as any other citizen. If the powers that be can circumvent this legal requirement for him they can for any other citizen in which they feel there is a threat to "public safety". And we have all seen the hysteria over perceived threats to "public safety".   How sick would it be if once he got to trial ALL of his statements were thrown out as well as the charges because he was not read his miranda rights. I know it has happened in other cases.   He needs to fry for what he did but the rules should not be broken to ensure it happens. He is no different than any other citizen that has killed 3 people. Once the rules are broken once it sets a precendent for others to break those same rules.

Probably because you were used to seeing things like this not so long ago :)

  Obama supporters and long time democrats.

I would be very careful with that crimp. It looks like it is a awfully tight crimp and that can allow the bullet to fall too far in the chamber. You just want enough of a crimp to remove the bell and nothing more. The case mouth should not angle in on a straight walled semi auto cartridge. It should be the same size at the edge as it is a little farther back.

As well as change the composition that it is not as easily used to make explosives.

California is the petri dish for the nation. EVERY major legislation, at a national or state level, regarding guns and the enviroment has started in California. Liberals and progressives use California laws as the model for their own. And when they think they got what they want there they move into other states to start the process all over. Colorado is one state I would have never guessed but it has become a liberal stronghold now.   It also worries me when people from those liberal states come here to "escape". The reason is they move because they had a problem with the recently passed laws. But what about all the progressive laws that were passed long before that they didn't have an issue with? I am worried they will try to pass those same progressive laws here up to the point where THEY had the problem and we will slowly become another Colorado.   I am not saying to no welcome them. I am saying we need to be mindful that people miss where they used to live.

Pick up a laser range finder. It will save you the walk to the targets. I ALWAYS have one in with my shooting gear. I use it to verify target distances. They have gotten cheap now and you can find them for sale for under $100.

They are indeed in Tennessee. Dover has one of the 35 camps in the US. http://www.newschannel5.com/global/story.asp?s=11927398       As far as letting LE into my house I would probably not. I would step outside and let them know everything is fine. I would see if they wanted water or anything else I have to help but there is no need to enter my house if I know it is secure. I do have officers over from time to time but it is those who I know and trust to do the right thing. Any officer I do not know will have to secure a search warrant before entering. I have specific reasons for this and it has nothing to do with me having anything to hide.   Something else that kind of concerns me is the government said they did not read him his miranda rights. They stated because of "public safety" they could not at the time he was taken into custody, which I understand completely. Now, even though he is sitting in a hospital room safe and secure, they said they were going to wait even longer because of "public safety" concerns. They said they are going to go ahead and question him before they read him his miranda rights because of "public safety" concerns.

I do not know what to say other than I can honestly say I would not take this out in public. This is a featureless rifle that is legal in California. I think the front end is kind of cool but that is where my admiration ends. Well I do have some admiration to those gun owners who put up with this kind of nonsense, I know I could not. In the end this stock doesn't prevent criminals from doing anything illegal. The clear magazine reminds me of the reason they have clear televisions and radios in prison.

And another "R" going to the other side. Wasn't he a top dog Republican at one point? http://m.spokesman.com/stories/2013/apr/20/christie-proposes-gun-laws-including-sniper-rifle/ April 20, 2013 TRENTON, N.J. – Gov. Chris Christie on Friday unveiled a multifaceted plan to curb gun violence in New Jersey that includes expanding government-funded mental health treatment, requiring parental sign-off before children can buy or rent violent video games and mandating that ID presented by would-be gun-owners is government-issued. The Republican’s plan also includes a ban on the sale of Barrett .50-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifles, bail reforms that would make it harder for people suspected of violent gun crimes to be released and provisions to make it easier for courts and health care professionals to involuntarily commit people they consider violent to a psychiatric hospital. The plan does not address classroom security or propose stricter limits on the capacity of ammunition magazines, which in New Jersey stands at 15 rounds. “Assuring that there are common-sense safety measures when it comes to purchasing guns, and enforcing appropriate and aggressive criminal penalties for those who violate gun laws is not enough,” Christie said at a news conference at the state Capitol announcing the measures. “This is about violence control. In order to deal with the kind of violence we’re seeing, we must address the many contributing factors to that violence.” Christie announced the proposals one week after receiving a report from a task force he created following the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. The group recommended the periodic renewal of gun licenses and a law banning people from buying guns for others. It also recommended helping those with mental illness. The governor’s proposals come two days after the Senate in Washington rejected expanding background checks to more gun sales. Members of the Democrat-controlled state Legislature proposed their own gun laws, none of which has reached the governor’s desk. The Assembly in February fast-tracked 22 bills that place limits on magazine sizes, require mental health clearances and photo IDs for gun permits, and bar anyone on the federal terrorist watch list from obtaining a gun. New Jersey’s gun laws are among the strictest in the nation. The state does not allow gun shows, for example, and is one of seven states with an assault-weapon ban and one of three with a one-gun-a-month law. New Jersey is also one of 11 states with a waiting period for gun purchases and one of seven with a limit on magazine capacity.

Use the bullets you have to slug the bore. I would mark the bullets with a sharpie to make sure you are getting full contact all the way around. Start it in the throat with some sort of oil or grease. Then use a dowel or something else that isn't metal to force or beat it through with a hammer. Once all the way through make sure the bullet is silver all the way around then measure the biggest part. I would add at least .001" but probably .002" to the OD for your ideal bullet.

In 9mm, 40 and 45 you will not push them fast enough to need a gas check. And you will not push them fast enough to need a hard alloy. The proper size has more to do with it than hardness. You can use a really hard or really soft bullet without issue if it is the proper size. If the bullet is not the proper size it won't matter how hard or soft the bullet is there is will still be some leading. But if you get too soft, as in pure lead, the bullet can smear whick looks like leading but goes down the entire bore. You will not see this with any commercially available bullets, only those purposely cast with pure lead.   If you are getting leading just past the chamber then the bullet is generally too small and/or too hard but most likely too small. If you are getting leading towards the muzzle, but not at the chamber, then the bullet is properly sized but the bullet is going too fast for the alloy and you must either slow it down to harden the bullet.   Here is a good read: http://www.missouribullet.com/technical.php   Also, I have heard several people say that it is a fact of life that shooting cast causes leading in the bore but that is not true. If shooting lead bullets always caused lead in the bore then every 22 in the nation would be miserably inaccurate. I have several 22's that will shoot MOA that have not been cleaned in several thousand rounds. It is just a matter of finding the right combination of alloy and lube. I use wheel weights and Lee Alox and rarely get leading in my pistols. I never get leading in my rifles.

I shot a metric ton of cast bullets that were .005" over the bore size without issue. If the loaded round will chamber and the bullet fit into the throat the bore will size the bullet. And honestly those .005" bullets shot as well as anything I have tried. I used to shoot a ton of MBC bullets and had severe leading problems. Lining with Lee Alox fixed most of it but I still had problems with leading. Once I started shooting a softer and bigger bullet all the leading issues went away. Make sure to slug your bore. Measure for the largest size then add at least .001". I personally consider .002" the minimum in my guns when shooting my cast bullets.

If you add loctite on the barrel nut and then again one the underside of the rail it seems to keep it from moving. If mine does it again I am going to drill and tape the rail into the interface piece.

Problem is they are using a carbine length gas system. There is no need to meter a carbine length gas system with a 300 BO. Also a carbine length gas system is going to have problems shooting subsonics without a suppressor. With a suppressor there is no need to meter the gas at all. A carbine length gas system does not need to be metered with unsuppressed supersonic ammo either. I have also been told that suppressed supersonic doesn't need to be metered.   Now if there is a way to use it with a pistol length gas system then it would be nice.   Bottom line is if you are shooting supersonic only then use a carbine length gas system. If you are going to be shooting any subsonic then use a pistol length gas system. And if you want to shoot both use a pistol length gas system with a way to meter it when shooting supersonic ammo.   If you want a reliable subsonic 300BO you need a pistol length gas system.   Think of any gas adjustment as a way to lengthen the gas system. You can take a pistol length gas system and artificially lengthen it. You cannot take a carbine length gas system and artificially shorten it. I recommend that everyone use an adjustable gas block in the guns regardless of caliber. Once a gun is properly gassed it has less recoil, it stays cleaner and parts don't wear as much.   Lumberjack has a nice setup that runs great.

Please tell me where anything I said in the first paragrpah is untrue.   I said nothing about right lane vs left lane when it comes to the speeds. You are trying to argue something I never said and not sure why. I will say this. We, as in my wife and I, will not go above the speed limit just because someone behind us wants to go faster. I do not care if the flow of traffic is 80 mph, if the speed limit is 40 mph that is where we will be. Me doing the speed limit is not what is making it dangerous it is those who feel the need to go above the speed limit. Allowing another to influence you into breaking the law is no excuse. If it upsets someone that they are going to be late because I am doing the speed limit that is their problem, not mine.

Honestly if anyone is going to notice something out of place it would be someone from the facility. I know when I was being trained on how to deal with bomb threats we were told to grab a person from the building and take them with us to look for anything out of place.   If LE walked into a building they have never been to before and were looking for something suspitious they would have no clue what is out of place.

Something else that causes a lot of problems and is common is using bleach to clean concrete. The concrete slowly releases the bleach which is an oxidizer which will rust and corrode most items exposed to it.
