      Did BATFE just make it illegal to mfg mags over 10 rounds?

      A good rule of thumb in life is that when you hear information from a neutral source (someone you just met or don't know well) and the information can result in behavior by you that benefits them, financially, put all decisions on hold. Even if they are in a position of authority or seemingly an...

      David Gregory violates DC Gun Law on National TV

      How is "possession" defined when it comes to state and local bans? Does that mean it has to be in your house or car, on your person when walking in public or in this case, can simply holding it in your own hands be considered possession? Sorry for my ignorance on this, just curious.

      Standard Cap Mags and LEO Markings

      I have a bunch of AR mags that are marked Law Enforcement of Gov't Use Only and some S&W pistol mags that have LEO marks as well. I was concerned about owning LEO marked mags if another AWB comes into existence until I read the '94 ban. It looks like there was a really heavy burden on the...

      Handguns Under AWB?

      In the '94 AWB, handguns were considered Assault Weapons and therefore banned IF they had a detachable magazine and two of the following: 1. an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; 2. a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash...

      What if they make AR's, AK's, and the like, NFA items?

      I'm not sure you understood the context of my post. I simply stated that if two options would be put before me, one being that I cannot have an AK or AR in any configuration I want or the other being I can have them but have to jump through the NFA hoops, I'd take the NFA option. In no way did...

      What if they make AR's, AK's, and the like, NFA items?

      She stated last Sunday that a grandfather clause is included in the language of the bill she will bring to the floor in January. "I’m going to introduce in the Senate and the same bill will be introduced in the House, a bill to ban assault weapons. It will ban the sale, the transfer, the...

      Interesting thought about pistol cans and AWB

      If a new ban is similar to the '94 ban, the threaded barrel shouldn't be a problem. The rule was two "evil features". Here's the specific rule: Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following: -Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip -Threaded barrel to...

      Assault Weapons Ban... Educate me please

      My bad. I assumed if they don't allow CC then the entire state must be under some type of AWB as well.

      Assault Weapons Ban... Educate me please

      I am betting that they will have to seriously water down her version for it to have any chance at all in the House. The Democrats only have 200 or so votes in the House and that's IF all of them stick together on Feinstein's original draft, a big if. A lot of compromises will need to be made...

      What would a 2013 ban look like?

      Assuming a ban will occur, what are your best guesses to the actual policy specifics? My take is that with the current Republican majority in the House, if an AWB gets a majority vote, it will be by a very narrow margin. And most pieces of legislation that pass with a narrow margin include a...

      Assault Weapons Ban... Educate me please

      I certainly wasn't asserting that it would...was just pointing out that there isn't an AWB in CT that is comparable to the 94 federal one or NY, CA, IL, etc.

      What did you panic buy today?

      I really want to panic buy something but I'm not interested in anything that will likely be banned. Tried my best to get into AKs and ARs but it just never stuck. Had an SGL-21 and a RRA AR but I don't really have a place to shoot 'em, no land or anything and the range I go to doesn't allow...

      Assault Weapons Ban... Educate me please

      No hi-cap mag ban though. That died in committee in 2011.

      Ever regretted getting rid of a particular firearm?

      If it was a unique gun that I sold and wished I hadn't and could never replace it, I say to myself "it is what it is" and move on. I really missed one once but just bought it again later. But I wouldn't consider that a regret, just a re-purchase that was a practical action item executed as a...

      ARs are flying off the shelf

      Passing an AWB with a grandfather clause will be tough enough. There's no way in hell they have the votes to pass one without that clause. Here's a direct quote from Feinstein on Meet the Press this past Sunday. She states explicitly that the AWB will be prospective. “I’m going to introduce in...

      If we don't get a new AWB...

      Here's some new data that speak to the point of the OP, just released today: http://www.langerresearch.com/uploads/1145a1GunControl.pdf 59% are ok with limiting magazine capacities...I think this might give political cover to moderate republicans and blue dog democrats to vote on a...

      If we don't get a new AWB...

      She said the language of the bill would ban hi-cap magazines (clips in her head) prospectively, not retroactively. So magazines bought before the ban will be legal if her bill survives....or in another way, there will be a grandfather clause. Of course this is verbal information, the actual bill...

      Question for those of you who reload 9mm and 40 S&W

      I guess I haven't looked in a while. You are correct, those are getting insanely expensive. Thanks for the other tips. Can you tell me what bullet brands you would consider quality? Do you just mean major brand names and jacketed like Winchester, Remington, etc or do you mean the more expensive...

      Question for those of you who reload 9mm and 40 S&W

      Thanks for all the info. I think the gun itself is my limiting factor right now. The S&W mentioned above is the 952-2 and they are definitely in the $1300 used to $1500 new mark. That's the dream bullseye pistol for me. I hear great things about the Sig P210 but those are over $2000 I think...

      Question for those of you who reload 9mm and 40 S&W

      My goals are just to have fun doing my own personal bullseye shooting at the range. Not much more than that. So I'm just trying to tighten up my groups firing slow but off-hand. I've noticed that I'm now good enough of a steady off-hand shot that the difference among factory loads and the...
