"Local range filled to the brim"

Around here that is the stuff of nightmares.

One good thing about the .22 drought; a lot less yahoos and more serious marksmen at the range these days.

I've been enjoying my new CZs (75T and P0-9).
9mm is the new plinker.

What else did the guy have in the "carrying bag"? A pocket weasel?
Darwinism?


The CZ 75T is an otb race gun with an incredibly good trigger job and a 20 + 1 cap, but still fits in the box.
I'm thinking of shooting minor in 3G as a senior.

3) the "militia part" is in the antecedent position of a conditional, even if the case can be made that the amendment is in conditional form; thus the "militia part" being false in any scenario makes the whole amendment true, and in any such scenario leaves the truth value of the consequent part of the conditional unknown; and in any scenario that makes the antecedent true, the consequent is certainly true

Thanks for providing some clarity.

Some people are idiots. Spoke to an employer who, out of 16 applicants, had ONE pass the drug test. Applicants knew there was a drug test and that they had to pass it. Maybe that should be a prerequisite for firearms purchase as well?

There's already a federal prohibition on buying or owning a firearm if you're an unlawful user or addicted to a controlled substance. That one could use a little more enforcement. Might filter out a few of the nuts here.

Did y'all know that John Wilkes Booth's Derringer was a 44 cal?
Pretty amazing that Lincoln lived for the hours that he did.

Ron, you guys selling many PX4 Storm Compacts? It looks pretty nice and,
of course, it is one of the few 'Cali approved handguns'. I guess they
call it the PX4 Storm Type F Compact so it will go well with my new Jag Type F.

The retractable lanyard loop is a tad gimmicky but then I guess you could
clip it to yer harness to clear the crag of taggers.

I'm OK with some good old-fashioned tar & feathering. As long as it's followed up with a running out of town on a rail.

Time to put up or shut up, a new Universal Background Check bill is being introduced in congress:

H.R.1217 - To protect Second Amendment rights, ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, and provide a responsible and consistent background check process

If you actually care about reducing deaths and violence from guns, call your representative and tell them you support Universal Background Checks, and that they should too.

If not, please explain how being prohibited from selling guns to criminals or lunatics infringes on a right to self-defense, or even on any perceived right to amass an arsenal of firearms in preparation for the overthrow of a democratically elected government.

The problem isn't with the face-value of a "background check" to check for the behavior you've mentioned. The problem arises in the actual details and implementation of such a thing by our vile government... They don't care about you or me or anyone else. So such a well titled proposal is simply the wrapper on another sh1t sandwich being forced upon us.

Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe the government really is here to help this time. Cough... gag....

But in a perfect world I'd be all for the spirit of it.

Ron, it's not universal. You know private party sales are not required to pass NICS in NV.

I see Ron's point in not expanding background checks beyond sales from dealers

but then why should there be even background checks for new sales through dealers ?

considering that

we all know that anyone can buy a gun easily and quickly right through their newspaper
with no background check, therefore background checks don't stop gun crime

also, criminal ignore laws, so having existing or new laws doesn't stop crime either

California has every gun control law you can imagine, and already this month ( it's only the fifth ) there's been one quadruple murder and two regular single-corpse murders just in San Bernardino.
