I guess the cops dont know how to keep the peace anymore? What the hey! Looked to me like quite a few were in riot gear, just standing around being "afraid" -to make a confontation.

honestly, i don't blame them.. especially in a profession where you have to deal with scums of the society daily

the police officers are under fired from all those excessive force cases.. and like guns the news media did a good job at spreading fear and hate for our police officers

you can not take down a criminal without fearing about excessive force accusation.. while the criminals can go around attacking police and causing property damages

it will be hell .. when criminals roam the street without fear for the law enforcers of this country.

people don't just protest by holding signs and stay on the sidewalk anymore..since few people will stop and listen.. they will attack and block traffic without thinking that they might cause deaths to some

since if you block traffic? how do you know if someone is on their way to the hospital because they need urgent care?

Amen Paymaster. Glad to have you on board BTW.

Bruce - You're totally right about that video of PBS. Just about everything they said in there was incorrect in one way or another and was purely propaganda. Like the part about the bullet being designed to tumble and cause maximum damage. That was an issue in the early M16 variants in Vietnam because the rifling twist was too slow to stabilize the bullet in flight, and as a result we now have the 1:7" or 1:8" rifling twist for heavier (longer) bullets so they'll stay on target for better accuracy. The "tumbling was a flaw and not created to maximize damage. If they wanted more damage Uncle Sam would've stuck with the 30 caliber M-14 that the M16 replaced. In fact, the Geneva Convention does not allow bullets designed for expansion and that's why we currently use full copper jacket bullets. Other bullets such as hollow points, soft points, ballistic tips, etc., like are used for hunting would be far more lethal on human beings. Current military ammo is designed to take opposing forces out of the fight but not to obliterate them, because an injured soldier is a far bigger liability than a dead one for armies that care for their wounded like most conventional armies are assumed to do. Sorry for rambling but I could easily pick apart all the propaganda like this that is out there, and I do every chance I get.

One of the Fox News commentators, I can't remember which one, but she said she was in favor of guns and concealed carry, but that "assault" rifle should be restricted because they are not needed for sporting purposes. I beg to differ. I'd bet money the SUV she drives in New York City isn't "needed" to get around town or kids to the soccer games either. Who is she to decide what we "need" or don't need. For family protection, shooting military rifle matches, or 3-Gun matches I want the best I can get, and IMO that is the AR-15, M-14, and M1 Garand. I'm really turned off when others dictate to me what I "need."

Again sorry for the long winded post, but the unique freedoms we have in this country are very near and dear to my heart and I believe what sets us apart from the rest of the world. I'm all for cooperation with the UN, other countries, etc., when it leads to a better world, but as a general rule I think they should be following our founding principles instead of the other way around.

they released a lot videos about guns and gun control like always..

this time it's pretty funny. imo

it turned out the terrorist didn't' even use an AR-15

from what i noticed, the news media and Donald Trump have one thing in common.. they like to blah blah about things that they have no clue about.. and when someone challenged them about it.. it's the same response


AR- assault rifle ?
silencer? is there such a thing ?

I found this article, and of course the comments to be interesting.

Show's a bit just how far some in the media will go to make their point.

That was a funny article. Geeze, if that reporter was intimidated by the recoil of a gas operated 5.56 with a buffer spring and it bruised his shoulder he's got to be the biggest panzey in the world. I think my first Daisy air rifle recoiled more than an M-16. Imagine if he tried out a M-1 Garand.

Perhaps we need to have a discussion on regulating other rights like the 1st, apparently this guy is reckless with his.

While I appreciate and get your humor, we already have. Remember Benghazi was originally blamed on a guy posting a negative video about Mohammad....
 
Interesting. I haven't read it all, at work and just skimming through, I'll go back and read the rest of the posts. Someone might have already said this but these type of threads seem to be OK until people get ugly with politics or religion. Those two types of threads start out with good intentions but every one ive read through a couple bad eggs ruin it all and it gets closed.
Just guns...might be safe, many of us have them to protect our chickens :)
 
I have a few guns, .22, two .308, .243, .45 inline muzzle loader, couple 12 gauges and a .410, I've had others, including one classified as a 'assault rifle' Russian SKS...all used for hunting.
Currently my favorite is a crossman g1 extreme air pellet rifle, been knocking down red squirrels and got a couple vegan predators (woodchucks) in my garden with it. Going to use it for small game hunting this fall.
