I own an FN SCAR-16. I love it — if for no other reason that shooting it is a better muscle builder than all the arm machines at Gold’s Gym combined. Don’t get me wrong: all that weight tames the fearsome recoil of the .223 cartridge. See what I did there? See what Wilson Combat did with their new lightweight billet receiver and match grade tapered barrel below. It’s amazing how much “less is more” costs. But quality doesn’t come cheap . . .
Press release – -(Ammoland.com)- The Ranger series of rifles by Wilson Combat combines our exclusive lightweight billet receiver set and our Ranger profile match-grade, heavily tapered barrel to create a fast-handling precision AR carbine that is an ideal tactical, defense or hunting gun where light weight is a prerequisite.
Our Ranger profile barrel is the lightest profile AR barrel that still retains match-grade accuracy as the rifle heats up from rapid-fire shooting.
Like all Wilson Combat custom rifles, the Ranger is equipped with our strong and light M-LOK capable rail and our time-tested Tactical Trigger Unit.
A Wilson-SLR click adjustable gas block allows you to easily fine tune your Ranger to the pressure of your specific ammunition used. When you need a handy yet accurate premium tactical rifle the Ranger will lead the way.

Does a 14.7″ barrel neuter .308 Win much?
Seems like a good idea to allow teachers, parents, janitors, school administrators who have concealed carry licenses to carry discretely on school property if they want. My wife (unfortunately liberal and addicted to CNN/MSNBC/HuffPo etc) thinks it means that teachers will be issued pistols and will be forced to carry them. She also said that guns ‘just go off’ all the time by themselves, or that a high school kid would just ‘grab a teachers gun’ and shoot someone. That is the propaganda being spread by the media 🙁
On another note, it’s funny how the NRA is the organization being targeted! It’s only the ILA side of things that fulfills the political aim of protecting the 2A civil rights. I understand that they are outside of the top 20 political donors, most of their power is due to the number of members. The media portray them as some sort of evil organization with every Republican politician in their pockets. But, when you counter that shadowy despot billionaires with unclear agendas such as Bloomburg, Soros et al vastly outspend the NRA, you get crickets.
Nice
Very nice response, if I’m ever in the market for a flamethrower, that’s where I’ll go!!
I’ve looked at the website for the School Shield Program, and from what I can see it’s good, but…
I still think the most impressive/effective training I’ve seen is in this video:

I think the NRA/GOA/Second Amendment Foundation should all be promoting this approach to surviving a school shooting. Press for training like this in every school. Then, the antis can’t complain that we’re only concentrating on “armed security”.
Slightly on topic:
If Wayne LaPierre — or any other representative of the NRA — had any guts, they would appear on their usual TV talk shows in Washington DC and hold up a 30-round AR magazine while doing so.
Yes, there is a risk of getting arrested for violating the district’s ban. But he could — and should — invoke the David Gregory defense.
Instead, we’re told that “We need guns to fight oppressive tyrannical government . . . but we’re not going to commit any act of civil disobedience that subjects us to the possibility of being arrested”. Unlike most of us, Wayne can afford the best legal representation possible. And the Washington DC Attorney General is already on the record as stating that “a prosecution would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust“.
Should DC actually decide to pursue charges against Wayne for doing what David Gregory did five years ago, the worst that could happen is “Under D.C. Code Section 7-2507.06 [the magazine ban], any person convicted of a violation of this Subsection may be imprisoned for not more than one year, fined not more than $1,000.”
If Wayne isn’t willing to risk that in his so-called fight for freedom, to demonstrate the pointlessness of certain gun-owner control laws, what is he willing to risk? And what forms of civil disobedience should gun owners be engaging in?
