    SCOTUS affirms gun rights in historic decision

    If the ruling comes in favor of the individual's right to keep and bear arms, in other words, the individual right to defend yourself, then the handgun ban is unconstitutional. Why? The handgun is the great equalizer. What else can give an 80 year old woman the ability to defend herself against...

    "Tough" talk from Iran

    All I know is the idea of opening an embassy like agency in Iran is one of the best forward thinking ideas that President Bush has proposed in a while. War with Iran would be good for no one.

    SCOTUS affirms gun rights in historic decision

    I wasn't clear enough. They were defending their properties AND their being. Look what they did to Reginal Denny (no idea how to spell his name). He didn't do anything and was almost beaten to death. And in my opinion, if that property is their livelyhood and supports their family and life...

    SCOTUS affirms gun rights in historic decision

    The greatest example of the relevance of the 2nd Amendment in today's world: The LA Riots after the Rodney King Verdict. Many Korean store owners defended their property, and their lives, with firearms. If you haven't figured it out, there can be bad blood between black gangs and Koreans in LA...

    .357 Magnum Question

    Shoot a standard "plinking .38 Special 125 gr round and then shoot a full power 158gr .357 Magnum round. You'll notice a difference, trust me. There are plenty of .357 Magnum cartridges out there that are downloaded and shoot light. Try a full power load.

    CitiBank Refusing Card Services for Weapons Purchases

    I've bought quite a few firearms via the internet without ever making face-to-face contact with the dealer. There is nothing illegal about it, it's CitiBank being anti-gun, plain and simple. They aren't the first, E-Bay stopped all gun sales some years ago.

    Pentagon says ships harassed by Iran

    You've just invalidated yourself with this post. 1) Our ships were readying to fire their weapons at the Iranians. That is what turned the Iranians around. It started to get serious and they didn't want to play. 2) The Cole was not set-up to defend herself against an attack. There wasn't...

    Oh for crying out loud, have you ever been to the Gulf or the North Arabian Sea?

What was done was correct, they were readying to fire and the Iranians got the clue. If...

    SIGs have 4 internal safety mechanisms that are extremely reliable. They don't have a "lack of safety". What they do lack is the external switch safety, like a Beretta 92FS.
