This kind of thing seems to be happening more often . . . This Liberal Reconsidered Gun Control. He Found It’s A Lot More Complicated Than ‘More Guns, More Crime’
I have always looked at the gun problem and assumed that there is a “commonsense” solution if the gun lobby would just get out of the way and people would just screw their heads on right. Like most Americans, I still support efforts to improve the efficacy of the background-check system, but I now understand them to be common sense but not solutions—and potentially distractions from the core social questions of economic despair and shuttered opportunity, which plague both poor minority neighborhoods and the white working class alike.
Over the past year, I have from time to time posted the most mild-mannered of comments on Facebook, suggesting that the gun issue is more complex than one might think. I am not exactly fearless on social media, anxious about the cultural disapprobation that comes with conservative views in my circles. My posts have been exceptionally mealy-mouthed, timid suggestions that the gun issue is tricky or perhaps a particular National Review article is “worth a look.”
Australia’s descent into firearms hell continues apace . . . Lever action shotguns reclassified into tightest legal ranking, changes labelled ‘unfair’
LEVER action shotguns – “tools of the trade” to the North West farming community – have officially been reclassified into the tightest legal ranking.
The Firearms and Weapons Legislation Amendment Act 2017 came into effect on November 1, re-categorising lever action shotguns with a magazine capacity of no more than five rounds from a category A to a category B, and those with a magazine capacity of more than five rounds from a category A to a category D.
NSW Nationals Senator John “Wacka” Williams has publicly attacked the reclassification, labelling it “unfair” and “inconsistent”.
“My opinion is that it should have been a category B, where farmers could have bought the rifle shotgun,” Mr Williams said on Thursday.

Good luck with that . . . New Jersey – Defeat Democrat Gun Banner Phil Murphy ~ VIDEO
If there’s one thing that defines New Jersey gun owners, it’s the courage and tenacity to repeatedly face the “David and Goliath” battles and win against impossible odds, when most everyone else would have given up.
The upcoming Governor’s race on November 7 2017 will be the ultimate test of our mettle. Anti-gun Wall Street mega-millionaire Phil Murphy, an unknown who came out of left field, bullied and bought his way to the Democratic nomination. He cleared the field of serious, well-established candidates by creating the illusion that his anointing was inevitable. Democratic party leaders and candidates folded like a house of cards under that hallucination, abandoning years of planning and posturing, and handing Murphy the nomination without a real fight. The illusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy in the primary.

Hornady® Launches Free Mobile Ballistic App with 4DOF™
Hornady®, a world leader in bullet, ammunition, and reloading products is pleased to announce the launch of the new Hornady Ballistic Calculator App that includes the advanced state-of-the-art 4DOF™ calculator as well as a standard BC (ballistic coefficient) calculator. The new Hornady Ballistic Calculator App is available for free on both the Apple and Android app stores and allows users to calculate trajectories in areas without wireless connectivity.
Introduced in an online, website version in August 2016, the new 4DOF™ (4 Degrees of Freedom) Ballistic Calculator has become a popular resource for those seeking more accurate trajectories, especially at extreme ranges. The Hornady 4DOF calculator provides trajectory solutions based on projectile Drag Coefficient (not ballistic coefficient) along with the exact physical modeling of the projectile and its mass and aerodynamic properties. Additionally, it is the first publicly available program that will correctly calculate the vertical shift a bullet experiences as it encounters a crosswind; referred to as aerodynamic jump. The use of drag coefficients, correct projectile dynamics, aerodynamic jump and spin drift enable the Hornady 4DOF ballistic calculator to be the most accurate commercial trajectory program available–even at extreme ranges.
Shockingly low prices on some pretty good guns. Read our reviews of the RM380 and RP9 and judge for yourself.
Un-funny topical comedienne discovers “the boyfriend loophole” . . . Sam Bee Highlights A Key Predictor Of Mass Shootings: Domestic Violence
Turns out there are ways to help prevent mass shootings.
According to the group Everytown For Gun Safety, 54 percent of mass shootings from 2009 to 2016 were “related to domestic or family violence.”
While many domestic abusers ― that is, people subject to permanent domestic violence restraining orders ― are prohibited from buying guns, there still remains a glaring hole in the law known as “the boyfriend loophole.”
And now that Halloween is in the rear view mirror, it’s apparently officially the Christmas season:
Justice reform, aka catch and release or just release, is something of an article of faith among our donkey friends. Given this, one can’t really expect them to embrace keeping violent people behind bars as a method for reducing violence in society.
Springfield needs to purge everyone associated with their blunder.
I’d hate to see the rank and file employees get hosed because of some idiots up top.
Mexican construction company’s,,,, oh yeah, ,. Worked for one, their fast at what they do. ” Joetast ask Jose” shouldn’t we be hooking up the ground wires?” Jose ” you take to much time, u don’t need ground wire.” . joetast to Jose ” I think we should put the lock washers on the exhaust fan shrouds, they’ll probably rattle lose over time. “Jose” U take to much time, we’ll be gone they’ll never know.” Oh yeah quality work

Getting out of poverty in America is quite easy…..Graduate high school, get married before having kids, and don’t get a “job” that you can get arrested for.
Make the Blackhawk convertible .45acp/.454 Casull instead of .45 long colt.
Lower prices on mark iv?

Ugh, more weird propaganda I have to wade through to get my gun reviews. Articles like this occasionally give the site that kinda weird/gross vibe. I can tell the author is just conjencturing and has not visited Mexico recently, if ever.
“Don’t blame our dealers, blame bump-stocks” –NSSF
I don’t have a No#1 but always wanted one in stainless, 338 win mag with a ported barrel. Does Ruger take special orders?. I own several Ruger Bolt rifles and quality has been superb. I would take a 30-06 if I could find one. Also, I wonder if Ruger would start production of the #3 again if demand and sales warranted it’s production?.
Here’s a nice excerpt:
His <ahem> overnight hotel room guest stole his stuff. You mean the hooker?
Those raised grip patterns really prove their worth in snow. I’ve had wet snow get packed into traditional checkered grips and turn them into slippery icesicles. In my experience a raised pattern avoids that and is something I want on a general purpose hunting rifle.
The Howas are really fun project rifles. Brownells has tons of options for them. You can build some pretty neat guns from their site.
“Don’t Blame Gun Dealers for Chicago Crime Wave”
That’s all liberals know how to do, blame someone else…
Gentlemen,
Over the last 35 or so years I have used oil, several different kinds of grease and anti-seize compound.
I discussed the anti-seize many years ago with an oil company tech rep and they suggested one that was copper based.
If you use oil it will require cleaning and replacement on a more frequent basis. However all of them do work. it is just my preference to use oil.
I saw the comments and thought I would try to clarify.

I consider the Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard to the be the best value in the bolt action rifle market today. A properly bedded rifle stock and a little trigger adjustment turned my so-so Vanguard .243 sporter into a tack driver and my go-to rifle for coyotes and prairie dogs. My last PR build was a Savage, but I think my next one will be a Howa.
Been once a long time ago. Food sucked but the beer was cold. Soldiers manning “road blocks” at night so they could rob the tourists. I aint lost nuthin there. Mexicans heading back to Mexico by the bus load (literally) from our state. Cost of living here too high for them and according to a house builder friend of mine, they are scared of Trump.
Washington State has had universal background checks since 2014. The text of the law showed numerous rules a person could inadvertently break them. As example loaning someone a gun at the range was a “transfer.” Police said they wouldn’t enforce the law to that level.
After two years, the first charge has been brought. Man was killed with a gun. Questioned, another man said he’d sold the gun. No background check and the killer was 19 and under aged. Police decided that as the guy said he sold the gun, why not charge him? There are a few problems. First the gun is gone. Likely tossed into the ocean. Second the guy is gone. Third, the supporters of the law claimed “50 illegal gun transfers were stopped by the law.” This was along with the 3,948 people caught by checks at gun shops. That’s about 2%. Now you ask ” How many of these 50 criminals were arrested?” Answer “0.” Never mind taken to court.
As with the thousands of other local, state, and federal gun laws, they aren’t effective if they aren’t prosecuted.
