As long as the gun is in proper working order....and not abused. I have seen MSRs "go off" after a bunch of magazines of rapid fire.
It happened 2x on Iraqvetersn8888 youtube channel during their "meltdown" tests.
Both were AR15s, one Daniel Defense, and one Palmetto State Armory I believe...
2012.
That was our one and only crime committed with a gun. The killer drove up from Virginia to kill our local school superintendent over an online love triangle. So that doesn't really count. Our residents have lots of guns, but dont kill anyone....ever.
I said this before that ive seen fist...
I did get shot when I was about 14. Luckily it was a ricochet off water. My friend was standing directly across a 60 foot pond from me. He was firing a 22lr rifle into the water.
I felt something hit my thigh, it didnt hurt, it felt like maybe a small rock hitting me.
After maybe 3 seconds, it...
This may be a good thing.
Many NYS democrats, including Leticia James are pretty upset about super far left socialist/communist democrats winning in NYS recently.
This article absolutely watered down the anger, and fear the "regular" socialist democrats are showing.
And a LOT of moderate...
Unfortunate.
I "almost" took a 357 magnum round to the head. Ive told this story before.
About 7-8 years ago a friend and I were in my yard shooting. The friend was firing my GP100. I was watching him from behind his left side. He fired 6 rounds, then turned toward me and asked, "was that 5 or...
I have nothing against Jews....or Spaniards, or Italians, or most other countries.
I don't give one crap about their religion...or your religion...or anyones religion.
But blind devotion to fund and protect ANY country I am not for.
I don't follow this closely, but what has Israel done for us...
Not everywhere.
My sister teaches at a school in rural WNY. The kids are taught well, and there is no cat bullshit allowed. No pride month celebration, no safe spaces, no Junteenth celebration. My sister didn't even know that was a thing.
Unfortunately the school is most likely going to merge...
My answer to that is something ive mentioned here before....several times.
Ok, stop plowing the roads, and I don't need your police. I give generously to our local volunteer fire department, they have my back. I choose to opt out.
The government has already promised to take care of my medical...
This is a very nuanced topic. Dogs are all different, and breed has less to do with bad behavior than bad breeding.
One of the dumbest things I keep hearing in the dog world is, "its how they're raised", mostly about pitbulls. Pitbulls, along with several other breeds are very powerful, forceful...
Do you want to know how I know im a 2a absolutist?
Before the ban I never owned an MSR. When this is overturned I probably wont get one.
But, I became a member of GOA right after the ban in 2013. Then I joined the FPC directly because of rifle bans.
I have followed the court cases, and have...
Many of us here have been furious many times over the years.
Hell, ive been voting sinse long before you were born.
The first time I voted was in the 102nd US congress midterms in 1990.
In 1994 we elected George Pataki for NYS governor, beating Mario Cuomo, and having our first Republican...
Ohhh, I get drunk!!
I just don't seem to get pass out drunk. I honestly drink until its just not fun anymore. I go from feeling great, to feeling kinda sick. Ive never puked from alcohol, but ive got a headache and sweats from WAY too much booze.
Back when I was younger it was common for people...
Luckily all our neighbors are shooters. We shoot into the side of a cliff, with a large hill behind it, then miles of private property behind that.
We dont really have neighbors in the traditional sense. Mostly hunting camps and Amish. The closest neighbors shoot more than most people.
They...
