  1. In a rural setting an ar 15 makes me sleep good.Falling into the pc thinking is what big brother wants.Before we know it we will only be able to have shoytys and 380s. A 22 will kill,so its a slippery slope. .Dead is dead.If a 44 mag under my pillow is what I feel I need,so be it.Too many law abiding people need to grow a pair and live free or die hard.

  2. I have this cleaning kit, haven’t had a chance to see how good it works yet. As for 300 below’s cryogenic barrel treatment, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get the most from their rifle. I had the treatment done on my custom bench rest rifle. It has helped get better groups than before the treatment.

  3. I love the guy with the orange-brimmed hat standing around like nothing happened. I am next up at the pool table, right? My quarter is down.

  4. Yep, Tally still has .22 fairly regularly. The new Bass doesn’t have it daily like they used to, but it’s not a rare find, and the Academy down the street usually has a few 50 round boxes behind the counter.

  5. Sorry, NOT SUPPORTING ANY BUISNESS THAT DOESNT SUPPORT THE 2nd A!! Or civil liberties and BASIC FREEDOMS!! Ronnie Barrett said it best to the NY CITY SWAT TEAM when asked to supply the with 50 BMG snipper rifles. “do to the recent SAFE ACT, Barret Firearms can not sell the city of NY any weapons platform that an ordinary citizen can not purchase” Thank you Ronnie Barrett!! I understand that some of you feel bad about what happened to Ares firearms. But there back in business after 1 day post ATF RAID!! Even made a joke about the ATF’s BS RAID!! That’s a company that stands up to the ATF. Not one that closes selling of a product because they don’t want to get envolved in the fight for all of our RIGHTS!!! That would have bin like me telling my CO,” im gonna sit this one out chief, don’t want to piss off the terrorist on this one!!” I call a big BS on there choice to quietly remove their product from the market without a FIGHT!!!!!!

  6. Question: do you have friends who think this way? Do they think you’re nuts?
    Yes and yes — however, I have convinced one to come shooting with me in two weeks so we will see if I am still nuts to this one person.

    Living in CT, being close to NYC, there is plenty of uninformed liberal progressive fog that distorts the mind. It hard to find friend who are only pro-gun. So, I make it a mission to convert the ones who think I am nuts one at a time.

  7. “What’s left to decide are what measures can keep guns away from criminals and the dangerously mentally ill, saving some of the more than 30,000 lives lost to gun violence every year. That will require the Second Amendment absolutists to show more respect for the rights of others.”

    No, that will require criminals to show more respect for the rights of others.”
