I think all drugs should be legalized. I also think the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives should be eliminated. At the very least BAFTE should be demoted right back to being a division of the IRS. An unarmed division of the IRS. So this news [via thehill.com] came as a mixed blessing: “A handful of House Democrats on Tuesday introduced legislation [click here for HR 501] that would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level and regulate it through a new Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana and Firearms. They also proposed a separate bill setting a federal tax on what would be a newly legal marijuana industry, to offset the cost of federal regulation.” Hello? What about explosives? And the ATF’s other bureaucratic bailiwick: really big fires? Or, like I said, how about nothing?
It’s Fake, someone added it in afterwards in order to make it more gun control friendly.
If he was really ex-military he would know the difference between an AR-15 and a M4.
Doubt it’s fake. The initial KTLA news show (google it. The video’s out there) describes his “more than 5,900 word” manifesto. Check the word count on the one with the pro-liberal parts vs. the truncated version on other sites.
In the race to the bottom….the bottom has been found. Well at least for today.
Just have to insert “free speech” where the word gun is used and you can see where CA is eventually headed. Maybe the CA Gov’t can drive over some Chinese folks in Anaheim with a tank to really set the mood proper.
Alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and firearms sounds like a party. Throw in a rock band and some hookers and I’ll sign up right now. They don’t even have to pay me.
But I’m not shooting no dogs. Nuh-uh. I would do anything for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and firearms, but I won’t do that. I won’t do that.
The criminals are going to have to mug more people in order to pay the higher tax…Hey, just another cost of doing business, right?
Yes, disarm them first of all. We saw their handiwork enough already. After all, Homeland security has all the ammo anyway.
Still waiting for ballistics results of what calibers were discharged inside the school and if they all match those weapons recovered.
The whole putting “Assault” in front of something is really getting stupid… Assault Bullets??? How about instead of Gun Laws we call them Assault Laws (they are absolutely assaulting the 2A) and outlaw them instead…
NO LICENSE TO EXERCISE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
This is a sad sad day for my fellow Comrades in the Communist Republic of Kommifornia .
After 6 years of living in this widebrown land, I could not take the state and its B&llS&^%t any longer.. Last year I paid nearly 60% tax so that I could live in a mild climate.. Kids are being sent home from school because they can not pay the teachers and you wait for weeks to see a doctor..
Ohh and if you happen to live in LA you also get the benefit of being poisoned everyday by the air and water…
And you still got to pay sales tax up the ass…
Luckily, I just got a job in mighty TEXAS so I am out… I can not leave fast enough.. Was planning to leave in the summer after the kids finish school, but this rubbish may move my time frame up.. Not going to be classified as a felon just so more illegal residents can get benefits of my hard earned tax money…
F__K you California.. Texas here I come…
why are people still calling it “The Empire State”? i started calling it simply “The Empire” long go.
I’m done investing in the stock market and my 401k… From the moment ammo prices get back to normal, I’m going to just invest all my money in ammo!!!
I counted 53 bullet holes in the back of that blue truck. That’s over five 10 round magazines worth – just to take down an innocent civilian who was shooting back. WTF!?
How many are they gonna need when they actually meet a bad guy?
This whole thing is racism at its finest by the party that claims to be the party of inclusion. Minorities are getting killed off in droves in inner city gang violence and it is business as usual, but when suburban middle class white kids get killed the Dems come out in force to “do something.” I’m not trying to downplay the tragedy, just condemn the hypocrisy of the response. Also, to make absolutely clear, I don’t think anything about guns has to do with our nation’s problems.
Once again, divide and conquer. We must stand firm and united.
The only regional difference I see is that it’s more convenient and practical to carry a rifle or shotgun in a pickup truck than on a crowded subway during rush hour. That’s why pistols with a 17+ round capacity were invented, right?

Funny that you ask; I am going to call them this morning before I leave for work. The 6 round mag still will not allow me to rack the slide when it is fully loaded. I am now able to get the rounds in more regularly by hand though. It works if the slide is back and you insert the mag, but not with the slide closed. I’m planning on asking them to send me an extended mag in replacement for the 6 round standard. I don’t like the shorter mag anyway. If it had a beavertail type finger extension floorplate on the 6 rounder, then it would be okay, if it would work. Last time out on January 30th, it only needed a re-strike on 1 (or 2?) round out of about 75. It’s accurate, shoots nice, but I’ll say this: I picked up an M&P Shield 40 the day before and brought it with as well. Two issues, 1 FTF, 1 FTE, I tightened my grip and zero issues after that. Both the standard and extended mag work fine and it is much nicer to hold. Size wise, the M&P w/ext. mag is the same height as the P290 w/ext. mag and it is about 1/2 an inch longer. I was blown away with the accuracy of the Shield and my ability with it on my first outing. I shot the P290 after the Shield and being a 9mm, it was considerably less snappy, but the Shield is not bad at all for being a 40. I’ll let you know what Sig says about my issues once it is resolved.
Greetings!!!!!!
Aside from AR lowers, I think my next purchase will be a Savage SA-20 Tactical semi-auto 20 gauge with the shorter pull. I’ve seen 20 guage shells available everywhere. It’s also firearm I could hand to just about anyone with it’s moderate recoil.
I like to carry the S&W M&P 9mm Compact.
I’m pretty happy with my 24/7 G2 and PT-709.
It’s a case of new gun envy.
Mosin Nagants and so easy to work on. I’m finishing my 4th restoration of one right now. Making it a PU sniper with an original style Ukranian made repro scope. It’s going to be my “Mosin masterpiece,” and will only cost me about $350 total plus a lot of hard labor. These things are probably the simplest rifles you’ll ever work on. Lots of good youtube videos to show the way as well (the series by iraqvet8888 is very good), so don’t be afraid to dig into one. I can now fully strip one (including removing all of the metal and taking apart the bolt) in about 10-15 minutes.
I’ve also been able to get the trigger pull down to about 3.5 lbs. with full seer engagement, no grittiness, a decent break and no chance of slam firing. 2 lb. pulls with the stock seer and trigger are achievable if you want to risk reducing seer engagement (which I don’t). So, IMO a good trigger job is a big accurizing step since many start out with > 10 lb. pulls. I’ve learned a lot of little tricks along the way to improving and restoring them if you guys are interested.
The whole grandfathering thing they are trying to implement is unconstitutional. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the constitution prohibits ex post facto laws, laws that benefit the state and not the defendant. They can prohibit new sales and manufacture of 30 round and detachable magazines (which is also unconstitutional according to the second amendment) but cannot make it illegal for those who already own them. Does anyone read the constitution anymore?
