Baruth withdraws gun-ban bill in Vermont Senate

It can be done, folks. Just keep plugging away at the lawmakers. In Vermont...Burlington, in fact...we had faced a gun-ban bill by Sen. Philip Baruth. After a flood of anti-ban reaction by the...

Bob Costas on Piers Morgan - He did it again

Anyone see the Piers Morgan show last night on CNN? He had Bob Costas on and talked about Costas' gun speech. Costas went on and on again about it, this time finding a sympathetic buddy with Piers,...

Re: How would you answer

To be honest, and it may be a bit extreme, but I don't even have an NRA bumper sticker on my truck although I'm a member. My friends and family know I'm a gun nut but everyone else is on a...

Re: How would you answer

Beware the person with only one gun because he probably knows how to use it.

Actually, it depends on who is asking. Friends: I'll tell. Strangers on a board, probably not a good idea to reveal how...

Merchant Accounts: Possibly the next way to stop gun ownership?

I'm not trying to over-dramatize this and I have no solid proof of any kind. Just wondering here:

Are there any gun shop/merchants out there who are experiencing issues with your merchant accounts...

Re: <<AR newbie question alert>> Closest to a 'real' AR

Actually, Bboomer, you do have a point. What's the difference between a good manufacturer piecing the parts together, or me doing it? Especially if the parts originally come from the same place.

Re: Remington 597 review

I have to say, I bought a 597 at Dicks as an impulse buy. It looks, at first glance, like a higher caliber hunting rifle and comes with the scope. It really is a sweat deal.

I can agree with the...

Re: Is it Okay to keep AK mags loaded?

I had a similar question regarding regular handguns. I was paranoid enough about that to consider buying a revolver just to keep next to my bed.

Then, I realized that guns, in general, have...

Re: <<AR newbie question alert>> Closest to a 'real' AR

So, taking an even closer look at the Armalite site, I noticed that some of their models actually answer my question nicely. For instance, one of their ARs, the M15A2, actually says, as part of its...

Really, try an AK. They're cheap (you can order one for under $400, including shipping & handling, taxes, amo, etc.). Cost of ownership is cheap too, with ammo almost as low as 22 longs and the...

Re: AK (762x39) vs. AR/M-16 (.223 / 5.56)

Probably missing the obvious here, but by "Mine" do you mean an AR or AK? I'm picking up my AK in a couple of days and plan on getting a Bushmaster M4 next month or so, so I will see for myself soon...

Re: AK-47s: What country makes it the best? Warning: I'm a newbie with military long

Your post alone made me place the order. Thanks.

Now, as for ammo, I can get Wolf brand ammo real cheap. Probably anyone can, as I'm learning.

I've never used it. Never even heard of it until...

Re: Spring fatigue

Is this a problem with a home defense gun that just sits there, for long periods of time, week after week, month after month? I would imagine that to be a problem with constant use, or am I wrong?

Re: Age of gun by serial number?

Yeah, I know it's a good gun. That's why I went for it. To me, it is a great way to get into trap shooting.
