Rush to market with what you advertise as a "game changer" with a great price point which means lower margins...   While not a good comparison, Jeep advertised release of the new Cherokee for late 2013; didn't appear until 2014. Problems with the 9spd auto, but since they wanted to make a statement and introduce a "game changer" in that segment, they waited in order to refine and perfect.   Now Remington will be overloaded with warranty work, phone calls from irate customers and severely damage the desireability of the R51 specifically and Remington ownership in general...incurring additional expenses and loss of sales revenue on a product with already has a pretty slim margin based on it's price point. I almost forgot about the tooling, training, packaging and marketing costs to bring it to market. Yikes. Didn't anyone think to torture test a few dozen of these things from different lots to see what would happen? Wasn't anyone remotely curious? You make guns, I'm sure you could have found at least one employee who would have volunteered to shot for free if you provided the ammo...I'll bet a dozen or so TGO-ers would have round tripped if Remington posted "looking for proficient shooters to blaze through a few thousand rounds, we provide guns, ammo and targets."   Epic Fail on so many levels for a what I think could still be a great compact platform.

Mall Ninja simply wan't cool enough.

Another fan here.   If you haven't read the books, I don't think you would be disappointed with the "artisitic license" adapting a literary series into mini-series.   The books obviously give more in-depth character development; Tyrion is NOT a comic-relief character.   I'm still waiting for Martin to finish the Winds of Winter.

  Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?   And a little history:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%3F

Job security and reduced risk for the non-health-insurance carrying criminal element.   Proud to say, along with my successful WM boycott (not a dime since November 2012) I have only patronaged one posted business in the last 6 months and haven't been forced to enter a guv'mint infuenced "safety zone" building.   In reviewing the Knoxville list, it appears the Tex-Mex restaurants are heavily weighted to the NO side. While it doesn't merit a zillion dollar guv'mint sponsored survey, I wonder why?

More ammo for the no gunz crowd...I can hear the arguement already, "if licensed dealers are breaking the law, my God, how many private citizens are doing the same with those off the books face to face sales..."

Someone may want to correct my theology but I believe the old testament Jews took the commandments pretty seriously and were very careful about using the Lord's name, both in speech and text.

Uh oh, with the comp you're dangerously close to being labelled...Mall Ninja...but I too have a comp on my high powered 9mm HP carbine, because it looks cool...and I aspire to Mall Ninja status.

I respect your job and some jobs have higher risk. You knew the pay, hours and commitment when you signed up. When did job duties and tasks become a badge of honor? If I don't perform at my job the 18 people who report to me don't get paid which results in their families not being able able to buy food. Where does that put me as compared to others? Actually you shouldn't care...just respect that I work and treat others with dignity and respect

Whoa, what's an "assault pistol" ?

I really lost interest in college sports when seeing the $300 million Lawson sports facility built to replace Stokley.   Couple that with sending professional atheletes to the Olympics; I am at the point where I could care less about sports on any level past high school.

and his alleged co-conspirator...   According to The LA Times, the indictment alleges Yee and "former school board president Keith Jackson."   Well Mr. School Board President, let me ask you something, funneling weapons to a rebel Muslim group (as reported)...you think those guns won't be used against schools and kids somewhere?   It's the criminal act, using office to influence and twist rules and regulations, publically denounce to increase price; another example of hypocricy in guv'mint. Laws, morals, rules, order for all of you little people; we're the leaders, the privileged, the enlightened - we are entitled to the perks for our slavish service to the Republic and constituents.    It's not a Liberal or Conservative / Dem / Rep issue, these pillars of morality in the Congress can get pretty cozy when they have to throw more money at a failing project and extract it from you as a unified front, reaching across the aisle, compromise and co-operation working for the betterment of all...

So, knowing that FMJ is less effective than HP as a SD round, does this mean we will see more rounds expended per occurrance?   Did they remember to write in exemptions for active duty LEOs?

Church carry? What is guv'mint doing interceding in church matters (again)

What are the 10 things I'm not being told?

When you look at her history, what is scary is her agenda is no guns for nobodyv for no reason   She understands the weapons she wants to ban aren't used in gun crime, so it is not an issue of keeping the public free from gun violence.   It seems to me it is to keep guv'mint free from gun violence.

This could be an economic boom for the criminal element.   I'm guessing if you have a HOA, you are not living in the low rent district and probably got some nice stuff, easily converted to cash.   If the BGs know they have little to no risk of being confronted by armed home owners in an upper class neighborhood, full of brand name electronics, jewelry, clothing, etc, even if you had half a brain, that is where I go - it's job security.   "Come rob us, we won't hurt or deter you because we can't, but you just wait until the police arrive..."   I am 100% an under the radar guy. I think I do a good job conceal carry, I don't have NRA or CZ stickers on my car, so while I don't announce I am gun owning, gun toting nutjob, I am certainly not going to advertise I have no guns to invite a predator into my space.

I practice drawing, starting out slow and smooth and gradually increasing my speed. At the end of the draw stroke, I then employ my dry-fire practice.   I figure I need as much "muscle memory" when presenting my weapon as I do pulling the trigger - I carry it for self defense so if I every have to draw, I can't be fumbling around, having it get caught on my cover garmet, etc.

I wonder how many folks have left his bar drunk and driven under the influence. Who's the douchebag?

As a HP owner, I thought he did a "fair and balanced" review of the HP 995TS...

I ponied up for Winchester's PDX-1 for no other reason than it was an impulse buy.   I pretty well agree with Leroy, brand name 2-3/4 00 should work and I am obviously less considerate than Wolf...

I always thought the interchangeable barrels was a great idea.   Long for hunting, medium for "duty" carry and short for CCW

Well, even though it appears to be a good buy, I was told we have not allocated adequate funds to the discretionary spending budget.   I explained it's a $600+ gun, plus the added value of about $400 for the extra barrels, $100 for sights, $100 for grips.   Note to you newly-weds, when your wife says, "do whatever the eff you want," she really doesn't mean it.

I'm not suggesting that we return to the exact same methods as I think, as a society, we can address such issues in a more humane fashion. However, I think the basic concepts should be followed.   CONCUR!!!   Not sure when it happened, but when we allowed guv'mint to fill the role  of our brother's keeper and legislate common-sense, the nation started down the slippery slope.
