  “Assault rifle” is not a gun term, it is a political term.

  ARs, AKs, SKSs, FNARs, M1a, FN FAL….. are military style battle rifles. In civilian form they are semi auto rifles or carbines. In military form, they may have the ability to shoot on full auto, or burst mode. Most of these have detachable magazines (not clips, like all the morons on the MSM claim). There is nothing magic about them, and generally they are not the most commonly used in crimes. Cheap handguns are.

  We also have civilian style semi auto such at the Browning BAR hunting rifles, Remington made them, and all manner of semi auto .22s and shotguns.

  When the 2nd Amendment was written, it gave the average citizen the ability to own the same rifle, musket, or pistol that the Army or police had. that was the idea. Madison, Jefferson, Adams… did not give us the right to keep firearms to hunt rabbits, or shoot home invaders. They gave us the right to keep arms to stop a government that turns against the constitution and against the people. Thus the reason the modern day socialist democrat so hates “assault rifles”. This weapon would be the weapon of choice to stop a government gone bad.

  Most libs hate the police, and bash the police every time they have to use force. The police have ARs. So what in the heck do you think would happen if you take all ARs, semi autos, and hi capacity magazines from the common people, but let a corrupt police force have them?

    Dog gone, I do not get it. Dicks Sporting Goods in PA is refusing to sell any ARs. Cheaper than Dirt has suspended gun sales. So had this demented ass clown stole his mom’s Chevy SUV, drove to the school, crashed through the fence, and ran over 20 kids, would GM shut down? Would used car lots refuse to sell any Chevys? This country is full of stupid people, and I have yet to see one person with an ounce of common sense get on TV, and speak logically, and with any real gun knowledge about this situation, or about guns and the magic “assault rifles”.

    Geraldo on the radio this morning claiming that an AR would never be used for defence. Really? So why the heck is every picture of the cops heading toward the school in Newtown all carrying an AR. Why was it the most logical choice to stop such a threat? Read on Huffington Post where it was stated that one cannot hunt with an AR, because the bullets are special and destroy all the meat. That is a freaking brilliant deduction there you savants. So a .308 150 grain soft point from a bolt action Remington is fine for deer, shoot the same bullet from an AR 10, and the black color and plastic fore grip actually put a magic spell on the bullet, making it destroy all the meat.

    We live in a nation full of stupid people.
    I hear the NRA is going to make a big announcement this coming Friday. If they give an inch on this, they will not see a penny from me again

    NOTE TO DIANNE FEINSTEIN: Dear, STHU. YOU were the one who “vetted” Obama. You had your assault weapon ban in place for a while, didn’t work. HERE IS THE REASON that WE, THE PEOPLE, are not going to allow ASSAULT weapons to be banned FROM US: In case we have to use them against rotten, greedy, power-crazy politicians. It’s sorta like a balance of power the old fashioned way.

    PS of course in SELF-DEFENSE. I hope they know there are 300 Million of us who would not give up our freedom, but some day, some nutty politician (think HITLER, STALIN, CHAVEZ) might think they can. I hope it never comes to that, but as REAGAN SAID; THE BEST WAY TO HAVE PEACE IS TO REMAIN STRONG. As far as the nut cases who get their hands on guns…the Va Tech one was because they couldn’t share nut-case information…that needs to change now. This one in CT was because the Mother was allowed to get them with a nut case living under her roof. SOMETHING needs to be done about that…but taking the civilian’s guns…no.

    The Constitution doesn’t prohibit or limit “arms” by type, cosmetics or effectiveness.

    Semi-automatic rifles are being used more often by hunters these days. These rifles, depending on brand and model, are lighter, weather resistant, waterproof, easier to clean, better for customization, replacement parts are often cheaper, can be quickly modified to fit me personally, and serve more than one purpose; hunting, target shooting, competition, home defense, and homeland security. It’s a multipurpose, all weather, all terrain firearm. Only a novice or ignorant liberal wouldn’t know of its useful value. They also come in various calibers. I can switch the upper for a smaller caliber in order to shoot varmint, or switch it to a larger one for deer season. For some, it’s more affordable in the long run.

    Our soldiers have always been allowed to take their service rifles home and own them as civilians. Many WW2 veterans to this day own their military style rifles, and have passed them down to their children.

    Americans during the Revolution owned the same arms the continental army used. Some of them even owned private cannons. Some regiments relied on the arms of nearby citizens when they were in short supply, or in need of troops. Only ignorant liberals believe they have no right to defend themselves against a tyrant. When British troops arrived to confiscate our arms and ammunition, local residents united and defended themselves immediately, and won.

    One of the founding fathers (Washington or Jefferson I can’t recall which) said that the primary reason for the second amendment was to allow the people to retain the means by which to protect themselves against those who would impose tyranny upon them, including their own government. Doesn’t seem to say a thing about hunting or sport shooting there does it?

    I was in four Walmarts for work the last two days and two of them were in the process of selling out of AR-15s. The other two had a couple of different manufacturers in stock.

    Well outlined there Ranger Skippy!

    LT — What kind of Wal-Mart sells ARs? Mine does not even carry .22s any more, and I’m in Texas. The last time I visited, they were already nearly out of most of the cheap ammo (.22 and 9 mm). Could not find a brick of .22 there if my life depended on it. You don’t shoot feral hogs or deer w/a .22 either. Range time, I suppose.

    Semi-Auto rifles are not the problem, statistically. In fact, statistically speaking, “assault weapons” and regular 6-shooter revolvers are used with *equal frequency* and are not even close to the top of the list of weapons used for mass murders. I’m hoping to have an article written quickly that demonstrates that they are trying to pull a fast one while people’s emotions are on edge.

    Today’s definition brought to you by Noah Webster (1828)-

    INFRINGE, v.t. infrinj’. [L. infringo; in and frango,to break. See Break.]

    1. To break, as contracts; to violate, either positively by contravention, or negatively by non-fulfillment or neglect of performance. A prince or a private person infringes an agreement or covenant by neglecting to perform its conditions, as well as by doing what is stipulated not to be done.

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    Basically, when this was written, our nation’s people had just gotten through a long and bloody war in which their own nation’s military had turned against them. That military was the well regulated militia. They were so well regulated that they would shoot and kill their own countrymen. Because of this, every person has the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed. It has nothing to do with you being in the militia and it doesn’t say that it gives states the right to bear arms. It has nothing to do with hunting either. It has EVERYTHING to do with defeating an enemy made up of our own military and political powers. That is why they continue to pass law after law to try to make it harder for us to practice our rights. Pretty soon though, this nation will be fed up and we will have another revolution. Oh, and our military isn’t so well regulated that they will shoot their fellow citizens. I should know, I am a Marine.

    I see the MSM is calling the demonic murdering piece of trash that killed innocent children by shooting them from point blank range a “Trained Marksman”.

    So let’s say my neighbor Bob, a once in a while golfer took me to the driving range, and gave me a quick lesson in hitting a golf ball.

    If a year later, I took a golf club, and beat someone to death with it, would the MSM call me a “Golf Pro”?

    A marksman is a person who is skilled in precision, or a sharpshooter shooting, using projectile weapons, such as with a rifle but most commonly with a designated marksman rifle and/or a sniper rifle, to shoot at long range targets.

    Somehow, I do not think shooting little innocent children from feet away qualifies one for such a title

I wish I didn’t have to wait 12 months and explain WHY I need a Semi-auto Long Rifle to the Police in Elizabeth NJ to ACTUALLY buy one or three or ten. There is nothing wrong in being proficient in many weapon systems and how to fix them. But like I said before it’s NJ.

    The bush master used in this crime is no more an assult weapon than my ruger 10/22 is. And if I understand his mom was committing a crime just buy owning it in that state. That weapon and every other “assault” riffle that can be bought by john q public in this country is no more than a fancy looking hunting riffle. How handy it is for Obama that this happens weeks after he is elected to his second term and weeks after his administration tells the UN that they want to get back to work on the small arms treaty. Have we heard anything more about the smashed computer in the gunmans home? Will we ever hear where his digital trail leads? Who he was talking to right before he smashed the computer? Your average person I think would clear their internet history to try to cover their tracks, someone who understands computers a little more might try to destroy the hard drive.

Yet the Mexican government has been unable to protect the 60,000 to 100,000 Mexican citizens who have been killed during the last six years by the organized crime syndicates. All their gun laws have done is to deprive the good citizens the ability to protect themselves. Think About This Before Jumping On The Gun Control Bandwagon !

My neice had just branched out to day-care, she had always had a great after school program and was doing it on church grounds, when this guy did this. Don’t remember the make, but two children dead and more injured. It was a nightmare, and it was a car that was the weapon. Costa Mesa, 90′s.

    “RANGER:” No. Wrong. James Madison composed the Bill of Rights not to “give” us anything. Madison thought a Bill of Rights superfluous, unnecessary; he felt bullied into providing such a thing in the first place. The problem was this: anti-federalists had to be placated. They had numerous complaints against the Constitution as it was drafted, and they had certain specific fears regarding a new federal government that had to be addressed before ratification could become a reality. Among those fears was a standing professional army. A large standing army was seen as a European phenomenon, a feature of despotic old world governments. Americans wanted to avoid such a thing. Anti-federalists saw that the only way to avoid it was to reach at least a tacit agreement that henceforth American wars would be fought by militias, called into service when necessary. To that end, the 2nd Amendment was drafted. There is nothing about its original intent, its language, its usage at the time that implies some sort of parity between government arms and civilian capabilities. It was a rule designed to prevent something that we have lived with since the end of the Vietnam war: a large, professional army. All you Second Amendment Idiots don’t understand that you have already lost the battle you are fighting. The Amendment was never in place to ensure your access to the latest in killing technology; it was meant to prevent the standing Army most of you now claim to be so proud

    I would like to know how a ban on sales of new guns can insure my childrens lives. This psycho stole his mothers guns and used them. The only thing this gun ban does is score more political points and when it doesn’t work he will be back for more. We should have administration staff take gun safety and defense courses and then advertise the fact that leadership in the schools are armed. A culmination of this with retired Vets and Police would deter alot of crazies. Hell I think if asked there would be alot of retired police officers and Vets ready to do this on a volunteer basis if asked. Offer them the same medical insurance as the teachers and let them keep there SS and they would probably jump at the chance to give back to the community.

    FRANCISCO: It’s simple. No one needs or should have these weapons. No one needs high-capacity magazines. No one needs auto- or semi-automatic weapons. No one has an automatic, constitutional right to gun ownership. And the truth of the matter is, these weapons don’t even need to be manufactured for the mass market. THAT’S the point. The manufacture and sale of the weapons of war has become a huge private industry. One of the demands of that industry is that it have an unrestricted private commercial domain in which to operate. This is not necessary. Neither is it constitutionally protected. The idea that “if we outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns” is absurd. Because for outlaws to own guns, those guns have first to be manufactured for sale. Not every imaginable means of making a profit is legitimate. And it should not be considered legitimate that the manufacture and sale of instruments of slaughter is a profitable business model. You should not be able to buy an assault rifle at Walmart, nor should anyone be able to buy an assault weapon on the black market, or at a “gun show.” There simply shouldn’t be enough of these things manufactured to supply the greedy demands of nutjobs, rednecks and military/law enforcement wannabes. The Second Amendment does not guarantee the rights of nutjobs to put holes in first-graders.

    What i find despicable is how the supremes interpret the 2nd amendment.

    “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

    I see noting in there that places limits of the kinds of arms we as civilians can keep and bear. We should be free to own any arms the US military has. The purpose of the 2nd amendment was to make it possible for the citizenry to rise up and fight against the government if/when it becomes corrupt and no longer answers to the people.

But if it were mine to choose, I’d rather face an adversary with a machete, or a ball-bat, or a knife or even a single-shot rifle or revolver than somebody in body armor armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle. Wouldn’t you?

    Grover,

    Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Castro would all very much agree with you. The modern day American socialist is also agreeing with you.

    We (America) have 88 guns for every 100 people, but there are 25 nations with higher gun murder per capita rates than us.

    Honduras has 6.6 guns per 100 people, and yet leads the world in gun murder per capita.

    Switzerland is one of the three safest countries in the world, with the lowest murder per captia rate. Every house in Switzerland has a battle rifle (Assault rifle to the MSM) in their house with ammo.

    Those that wish to take the “assault rifle” do so for one reason. They cannot take your Bible, your children, and all that you have, until they first get the guns.

    Grover does not fool me. He wants the Bible as bad as he wants your gun.

    Wow. I don’t know what it feels like to be that paranoid, Skip, and I hope I never find out. Also, your global statistical “facts” are made up. But seriously: nobody is coming for your bible, or your children. Here’s what we do want: we want to rest assured that the people who suffer the kind of paranoia you exhibit don’t have access to military-style assault weapons. That simple enough? I don’t see any guarantee in the constitution that establishes the right of poorly-schooled, quasi-retarded rednecks to terrorize their communities.

    So many trolls crawling out from under their rocks for this one. Pretending guns are the problem, and everyone who disagrees is paranoid, stupid and/or evil is not going to work on this one. We’re not spineless politicians being called racists to get us to shut up. We are law abiding citizens of a free country, we are free men and women who are not going to surrender our GOD given right to defend ourselves. Nor should anyone allow themselves to be dragged into arguing over obviously inane points such as how many rounds a magazine should reasonably hold. Do not give into such tactics. We have not only the right to defend, but, possibly more importantly, the responsbility. We’ve given up so much all ready to the great detriment of this country and our children, we cannot afford to lose more.

    @Fraciscno You speak of the police and military needing these things, and the 2nd amendment is to protect ourselves from corrupt gov’t. You are feeding our point. If the gov’t has assault rifles, as you call them, and civilians only get to have pistols and single sh rifles how would the people defend themselves. If you were attacked and a man came to your rescue with a 6-shooter, and the bad guys had automatic guns, would you be pleased. We have the right to own these guns because they are produced for our gov’t How would we protect ourselves otherwise. You say “The 2nd amendment does not guarantee the rights of nutjobs to put holes in first-graders” I would like to personally thank you for informing all of us this. Good job, you can put a gold star next to the row that says PSA. You SEEM like an educated individual, and having said that, there are many many fields of education. You might want to consider history one to take a peek at, along with current news. Look into the crime rates in major cities that have bans on guns. Educate yourself a little more, before trolling a site that you obviouslt disagree with. You think we are all a bunch of rednecks that just want our guns, but most of us dnt shy away from facts. So having said that if you would like to produce any I am sure we would be glad to listen. Thank you for your time, and i hope you read this with an open mind, or at all.

    What Obama will not tell you, is the thugs in Chicago have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and do not have the ability to do concealed carry, but have some of the worst gun violence.

    He will not tell you that black Americans make up 12.5% of the population but commit half the nations murders, and generally kill other black. If we dropped black murder rates to the same as whites, we would drop the nation’s murder rate by 38%, making us one of the lowest per capita murder rates in the world.

    Obama will not tell you that Switzerland has an assault rifle in every home, and has the lowest murder rate in the world.

    When Obama’s little girls lay down to go to sleep, they have armed men guarding them. When my two girls lay down to go to sleep, I believe they deserve the same protection, and me and my firearms will provide it.

    Obama might tell you that we (America) own more guns than any nation in the world. We have 88 guns per 100 citizens. He will not tell you though that there are 25 nations with higher murder per capita rates. He will also not tell you that Honduras only has 6.6 guns per 100 citizens, and they also have the highest murder rate in the world via guns.

    Obama wants to snivel and act concerned, but he is perfectly fine with late term abortions, where they bring a baby partially out of the womb, stab it in the brain with a fork, then suck the brain out with a vacuum. We murder millions of innocent babies every year in this nation,

    Here is an enlighten for you then. I am an active duty infantry officer in the United States Army with 25 years of active duty, three combat tours, and am the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

    I am also a competitive shooter, competing in the All Army, Nationals at Camp Perry, Quantico Interservice Championships, President’s Hundred, and do action IDPA style shooting.

    I serve in combat with the AR, I compete with the AR, I teach with the AR, and I onw ARs. It is the modern day weapon of choice, just as the musket was in the 1700s, as the bolt action 30 06 was in the early nineteen hundreds, as the M1 Garand was at the midle of the last centruy was, and the AR is the weapon of today.

    It is suitable for home protection, as a police entry cabine, as a police tactical, as competiton service rifle in our nation’s most prestigious marksmanship matches, as a target rifle, and as a hunting rifle.

    Socialist fear the AR, because they cannot ditch the rest of the Bill of Rights, until they first get rid of the rifles.

    Mao saw fit to disarm China, and he murdered 60 million of his own. The Soviets were disarmed, and Stalin murdered 12 million of his own. Castro does not allow his people to be armed.

    [W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.

Quite a bit of these profits will be earned in the 2012 calendar year, so tax increases will not hit the firearms manufacturers or retailers on that revenue.

Look at the countries with the highest gun violence. They ALL have Strict Gun laws for Ownership but crime persists..

    Look at our Neighbors to the South Mexico. “In Mexico, civilians are not allowed to possess military grade firearms intended for Army, Navy and Air Force use, including: .357 Magnum revolvers and those greater than .38 calibre, handguns greater than 9mm, rifles and carbines of .223, 7mm, 7.62 and .30 calibres, automatic firearms, or shotguns with barrels shorter than 635mm or greater than 12 gauge”

    Yet Mexico Has some of the highest Homicide rates by Fire Arms 10.0/100K population compaired to the US 2.98/100K.

  That ENCINOM is a poor misled soul and I feel for him. I also feel for all the sheep who have been taught no responsibility. I feel for the children who have been raised (or not raised) by parents who didn’t teach them discipline, respect and how to live a purpose driven life. I feel for the people who don’t know love. I feel for the people that don’t know God. They don’t know our lives have value and that as we seek God we glorify him and bring respect and honor to ourselves. Just because I feel for these people who will never know the happiness that comes when you have love, respect, faith, freedom and responsibility; doesn’t mean I’m willing to sacrifice my freedom for them. US Citizens have the freedom deserved by moral and responsible people. Problem is that we do not not act like moral and responsible people ESPECIALLY in how we pursue houses full of junk at the expense of our children. Our president disrespects the dead in Sandy Hook and their parents by not addressing the real problem. Bad parenting. Cultural bankruptcy. Social breakdown due to lack of male role models. Where’s the Dad of this kid? What the heck? I can unequivically say my son will never commit mass murder and a rifle hangs in his room! What are we doing? There was no mention of “Evil” in the president’s speech Sunday. No mention of bad parents. No mention of mental unstability. What a joke.

  Look, anything being sold now is for capital gains to avoid the new higher taxes for 2013. Expect a lot of selling of firearm company stock befor year end – not because of last Friday but because of taxes on the huge profits on these stocks.

    The AWB, if we keep hounding the GOP in the House, will never pass muster either.

    Emotions are high right now, but let the GOP know that by the next election cycle people will have long forgotten about this, so it’s their duty to uphold the 2nd Amendment and not back down.

    We’re witnessing a full scale assault on the 2nd amendment from all corners like we haven’t seen in years. Between this and states wanting to secede, we’re on the verge of a revolution. Except it won’t be Communists, Socialists, Progressives, and Anarchists. It’ll be freedom loving Americans fighting and dying to protect our freedom.

    Whitealaskan, only 3% of the population took an active role in the first American Revolution. If 3 % of gun owners in this country say “Not no, but hell no.”, they would out number the US military ground forces by over 1 MILLION persons, most of whom would be military veterans. If they can’t defeat a few thousand semi illiterate Muslims what would they do against a few MILLION US gun owners, many with Special operations training? I would guess that the percentage might be a bit higher than the original 3%.

  Folks… Want to tick off an anti-weapon person with stats? Go to http://gunowners.org/fs0404.htm
  Here are some…
  * Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense.
  * Concealed carry laws have reduced murder and crime rates in the states that have enacted them.
  * Twice as many children are killed playing football in school than are murdered by guns.
  * CDC admits there is no evidence that gun control reduces crime.
  * Gun shows are NOT a primary source of illegal guns for criminals. According to two government studies, the National Institute of Justice reported that “less than 2% of criminals reported obtaining firearms from a gun show.”
  * A Research 2000 poll found that 85% of Americans would find it appropriate for a principal or teacher to use “a gun at school to defend the lives of students” to stop a school massacre.
  * Gun-free England not such a utopia after all. According to the BBC News, handgun crime in the UK rose by 40% in the two years after it passed its draconian gun ban in 1997.

  And according to a United Nations study, British citizens are more likely to become a victim of crime than are people in the U.S. The 2000 report shows that the crime rate in England is higher than the crime rates of 16 other industrialized nations, including the United States.

  The whole thing revolves around a single goal. This is an attempt to overthrow the United States of America. It’s coming from every direction, but the key factor is to eliminate any possibility of citizens to defend themselves. Gun free zones are just government sanctioned shooting galleries. Law Enforcement Officers had hardly started collecting evidence and already the traitors jumped on the Second Amendment. They won’t even try to hide the fact. It’s comming, people. TOTAL CONTROL!!!

    Who is paranoid? Those who own guns looking at what is actually happening with their constitutional right to own them due to you and those like you crying to pass laws based on irrational fear, or you and those like you who immediately think everyone with a gun is going to shoot someone.

    “…brainwashed by the NRA,…”

    Brainwashed? Everything you have stated is illogical nonsense and basically repetition or mantra of the left. Who is brainwashed again?

    “…stroke their bibles and fondle their guns”

    Hmm, like I was saying…more repetition. Again who is brainwashed?

    “Spew NRA propaganda and lies about the NWO and a right that isn’t there.”

    A right that isn’t there? Really? Have you read the Constitution? There are more amendments in the Bill of Rights than the first.

    It’s time for you to have your computer taken away and be sent to your room. The adults need to talk and have a rational discussion, which obviously you are incapable of doing.

    Hey Ecinom, Israel solved their problem with terrorist attacks against their schools by arming the teachers. Nothing stops a man with a gun, like someone else with a gun. Here’s a question for you. Which would you rather have if you were being attacked, a police dispatcher on the phone that MIGHT get an officer to your location to stop the attack in a few minutes, or a handgun that you can use to stop the attack in a few seconds, probably without firing a shot? Here’s a little fact for you, over 75 MILLION gun owners and over 275 MILLION guns didn’t shoot ANYONE yesterday, or for that matter the last year.

    Do you know anything about the Swiss army? You do realise they only have their weapons at home, NO AMMO. If they want to buy ammo they have to buy and use it at a shooting range and are only supplied with ammo from an armory in case of an emergency.

    They’re also not allowed to carry their weapons with them, unless they have an official reason to. In fact I believe their system is more what the founding fathers had in mind when they referenced a ‘well organised militia’, not the demented free for all in America at the moment.

    If you like the way it works in Switzerland then good, maybe that’s something to talk about and a direction worth pursuing considering they have ‘….the third lowest crime rate in the world’.

But, that is just the lib pansy way, as they have a king now, and desire to do his bidding and lick his boots.

    It absolutely is time to buy shares in gun manufacturing companies. While the price is low, it is a sure thing – either as profit-taking or long term.

    Ignore the downward market movement. This has been brought about by a few traders who took fright, and the rest have followed when the price started to drop.

    I have no inside information, I am old enough to have seen this happen before – and not just in this sector, and not just once.

    Traders are reef fish.

    If the price had not dropped, I would offer no advice, but as it has I strongly recommend everyone puts the spare cash into these stocks now.

    The price will recover as the more savvy investors see a potential profit and the reef fish will follow. The price will likely overshoot a little, profit-takers will sell, and then the price will stabilise.

    Shares price is always reflective of earnings at the end of the day, and the earnings are already substantial.

    While nothing is ever a certainty, I will put my nuts on the block and say “buy now”.

    I am going to look into how I can do it from downunder.

  I’m reposting in case someone missed it on another thread. SOMETHING very, very weird is going on re this whole thing. In addition to the names of the cities Aurora and Sandy Hook in that Batman movie, I also became aware of something else.
  Remember the movie Hunger Games? This movie is about children getting killed in a futuristic world. Well, the author lives in….SANDY HOOK, CT. !!!!

  Also, Aurora, the temple shooting and Sandy Hook all had CCTV surveillance and the footage is inexplicably unavailable. In other words the confirmation of exactly what happened is missing without explanation three times in a row. In all cases second shooters are reported and then whitewashed out of the media narrative three times in a row. ????

  This also highlights a messed up aspect of the modern Stock Market – you don’t invest in companies that are well run and have a desired good / service, you buy in companies that have government support and subsidies while selling stock in companies that are about to be regulated out of business. This is a sign that we are no where near living under a free market. The markets are shackled and driven by government fiat.

  Does Bloomberg have body guards? AND what do they use to protect the hypocrite, plastic spoons? Why does he have the right(?) to protect his sorry adoublescribble and we don’t? Leftist hypocrites and power hungry elitists all have the same spots,…… oppress others not themselves! All these liberal hacks are great at messing with “others” lives but, when it comes to their sorry backsides, …. it’s a different story!!!

  Russia is opening a new AK47 manufacturing plant in Venezuela.In our hemisphere.I wonder what the Sean Penns and the Alec Baldwins and other gun haters of the world will say about that?

  “The Izhevsk Mechanical Plant has already manufactured and supplied 100,000 AK-103 assault rifles to Venezuela under an earlier contract and signed a new contract licensing production of Kalashnikov rifles with the nation, RIA Novosti said.We will begin construction of two plants in Venezuela at the end of 2007,” Vladimir Gorodetsky, the IMP general director, told a news conference to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the AK-47.One plant will manufacture AK-103 assault rifles and another plant will produce 7.62-mm ammunition for the rifle,” he said, according to the report.

    Oh crap, that means they don’t have to worry about getting stuff by on air and sea transport. If this is true, then there is a clean pipeline of weapons to criminal organizations and terror groups in the western hemisphere. Talk about cutting out the middle man, now all they have to do is use overland transportation to get weapons anywhere they want them.

    I have a DPMS/Panther AP4 Carbine. It’s a decent rifle, I like it, and the price is right. Shoots nice groups when you feed it decent ammo. Easily accessorized with some basic tools and knowledge. Nothing really bad to say about it.

    DPMS makes good guns. Personally I’m a big fan of Rock River Arms though.

    If I didn’t elect to get the LWRC I would have gone Rock River.

    They make a $1,500 LWRC though…and it rocks. It’s called an M6-SL.

    I have one…it’s a decent firearm for the value, and I’d buy another. It’s one you won’t mind taking out and banging it around a bit. It’s not the quality, for example, as a Daniels or a Sig (I also have a Sig 556), but I like mine.

    If it becomes your primary AR platform, I’d recommend eventually picking up an extra bolt and maybe even an extra upper receiver…parts for later in case something breaks and parts are hard to find.

    DPMS is a good gun. I have an MEO Warrior and love it. But in my opinion, the best “AR Type” gun is a custom 10/22 with a Tapco stock. The reason is the price of shooting it. You can create a 10/22 that is a carbon copy of an AR (I have 3 of them) and you can shoot all day for $20. It’s not an AR and it’s 22 caliber but it’s cheap to buy/build ($400 for everything including the gun), it’s cheap to shoot and it’s identical to an AR.

    Just for reference, the price of quality .223 ammo has been on a steady climb, and just for peace of mind I bought a Ruger Takedown 10/22 and a handful of their BX-25 round magazines….22 ammo is substantially more affordable. The 10/22 makes for a far more affordable “survival” rifle that is broken in half with one button and could be carried in a backpack…it actually comes with a cordura-style shoulder bag.

    But actually ANY Ruger 10/22 would fill that need easily…they even make a nice Ruger 10/22 tactical model. It lacks a lot of the true tactical setup, but I wouldn’t mind having one.

    Stay away from that POS Henry Survival Rifle or whatever they call that hunk of junk.

  That table must be holding close to 100 firearms if not more and in light of that, the picture shows the most dangerous tool in the bunch actually holding one of them.

  Irony.

  What do you expect, private citizens have a right to protect themselves and their families. Have you ever noticed that most criminals don’t like being shot back at, they figure it’s not fair if there is a chance of getting hurt or killed. Go figure.

    DenKat56 – “…that most criminals don’t like being shot back at,…”

    With a death penalty, concealed carry law and belief in the Second Amendment here in Virginia, the crimes against citizens is really low. But D.C. & MD’s are amoungst the nations highest and they’re less than 20 miles driving from my home in Fairfax VA.

  How did the sick freak from Newtown Connecticut get access to his mom’s firearms?
  Where were the trigger locks?Or a gun safe?She knew he was a mental case.It all could have been prevented.
  I don’t want a cop breathing down my neck at every public place or event just because a stupid,careless person in Connecticut allowed anyone unfettered access to their firearms and it changed everything.

  And I don’t want to hear about the restrictions that trigger locks can cause either.If your too damn stupid to know how to quickly unlock your loaded weapon when needed,at home,you deserve the aftermath.But they need to be locked one way or the other.

    Gun safes are the way to go.

    Trigger locks or bolt locks can be picked open with homemade tools in a matter of moments by people with minimal experience (couple hours of practice).

    Also, many weapons can still be fired with the trigger lock in place by pulling on both sides of the lock at the same time. This can be accomplished with two fingers while the weapon on your shoulder. I’ve done it.

    A safe with a combination (roller or digital) lock is much more secure when dealing with a situation where people in the home cannot be trusted with a firearm.

    Better yet, in the case of an AR-15 remove the firing pin when not anticipating use, or even the entire bolt carrier group. It only takes a second to reassemble it when needed.

    Locks can be defeated very easily and quickly.

    Sparky: They don’t give a rats behind about those kids. Just an excuse to to take weapons away from Americans. It is time to make their move and finish off America. They exterminate 2000 babies a day, they care nothing about life. They do not think like we do.
    America is on the verge of a “Great Leap Forward” like Chairman Mao pulled in China in the 60′s. Millions will die. “Forward” We had a saying in the bush; “Just because your paranoid does not mean they are not after you.”

  Out of stock? Yeah, if I were a gun dealer I’d put my AR rifles in the back and wait for the prices to go up; they did in a major way after the LAST ban. If, somehow, the communist dictator wannabe manages to get these guns fully outlawed? You’d rather you HAD one than not. I wouldn’t want to go over the fiscal and social collapse cliff without one.

    banjarmon – “Been there…” Me too!
    “TWO BIG buildings” Now only one they sold the other one to Walmart about a year ago
    “NICE SHOW…” Excellent show… Shoulder to shoulder…
    “GREAT WAY TO SPEND A WEEKEND!!!” Sure is…
    When I arrived here MAR2002, they had two shows
    2008 – It increased to 4 shows
    2009, 10,11 – went to 5
    2012 and now I see 2013 – up to 7 shows.

    Last month on day two (Saturday) a booth had two empty pallets.
    I asked what was on them, display or what? They said that the pallets had 9mil and 45cal.
    All sold out…

    Folks, the NRA’s HQ and its museum is only 1.5 miles east.
    This month’s NRA display will have:
    Theodore Roosevelt’s New Model No. 3 S&W revolver – his great engraved .38 Colt revolver.
    Jesse James’ S&W Schofield – how many banks did this revolver make withdrawals from?
    Black Jack Ketchum’s .45 Colt – an engraved, ivory stocked of the infamous Southwest train robber.
    General Sherman’s S&W – while it wasn’t used near Atlanta, this .32 rimfire could tell some tales.
    Buffalo Bill’s Colt Navy – part of many famous collections, this serial number 1 gun went to Buffalo Bill Cody.
    Plus – the first 50 folks to come by the museum booth at the show and fill out our survey will receive a free book as our gift!

    This is a great show…

    I went to one once and will never go back. It’s a Monk thing.

    Tampa is like Fairfax in a way…. hasn’t changed much until one tries to take a drive out into the countryside only to find there is no countryside left for the most part. : (
