    What's next? Where do we go from here?

    *sigh* I read that article, and I've read the posts here, and they sound so familiar. Former Sheriff Clarke complains about what the liberals are doing, yet everything he complains about is something that the conservatives did all throughout Obama's term in office. You guys talk about needing...

    Gov. Cuomo: 'Let's legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana'

    Just a warning to anyone who may be thinking about using marijuana if this comes to pass: using it is still grounds under the law to deny you purchases of firearms, as many medical marijuana patients have found to their regret.

    transporting firearms 1200 miles south

    I'm getting ready to drive from Texas to Alabama with several guns, so this thread is quite relevant to me. I just bought a couple of lockable, hard carry cases just to be safe. Looks like most of the salient points have already been covered, but I'll leave this link to the NRA page about...

    NY state senator apologizes after tweeting 'kill yourself' at user who called him out

    Yeah this guy sounds like a real loser alright. He said it was a "poor choice of words". You don't say?

    Obamacare ruled unconstitutional

    It is a weird ruling: the law is consitutional if people are required to buy insurance, but unconstitutional if they aren't.

    Obamacare ruled unconstitutional

    Yes. This new judge says the removal of the individual mandate means the law is now unconstitutional because it's no longer based on the tax authority of Congress. Federal judge in Texas strikes down ObamaCare It's seems like a pretty weak argument, to me.

    Obamacare ruled unconstitutional

    Like the law or not, this decision is going to be appealed and I bet it has a good chance of going to the Supreme Court. 5th Circuit is next, though.

    Get Off My Lawn! My Garand Arrived

    Neat! I got a CMP stock with mine. I'd say you lucked out.

    Get Off My Lawn! My Garand Arrived

    Say, that stock looks older. Is that a new CMP stock or an original?

    Average gun owner now owns 8 guns, twice what it used to be

    Happy to see that I'm above average: 11 in the house.

    Kavanaugh casts deciding vote as Supreme Court rejects review of Medicaid funding for Planned Parent

    I'd prefer for there to have been a more complete investigation rather than the perfunctory half week the FBI gave it where they didn't even interview the main accuser, but seriously when I first heard about the accusations of "rape" in high school I thought "really, Dems, is this all you got?"...

    Kavanaugh casts deciding vote as Supreme Court rejects review of Medicaid funding for Planned Parent

    I would not be surprised if he voted the way he did partly as a way of signalling to those who opposed him that he's not the kind of person they said he was. Sort of a "see I'm good to women" kind of thing. Whatever he reasoning, I, of course, am glad he voted the way he did.

    Teen girl shoots self with "AK-47 in her pants" ?!?!

    OK. That surprised the heck out of me. Color me wrong.

    Teen girl shoots self with "AK-47 in her pants" ?!?!

    I did read the whole link. It specifically describes the gun as a "rifle". The video shows an AK-47 with no stock, which might be called a "pistol" but it's still as big as a small rifle and is far to big to put down your pants.

    Heard of Project Appleseed?

    Thanks! Even though I don't agree with the politics of most people here, I'm enjoying myself and finding that there are some good people here.

    Teen girl shoots self with "AK-47 in her pants" ?!?!

    Methinks that a reporter isn't entirely educated about guns. Teen who accidentally shot herself in foot with AK-47 to be charged with burglary

    Another gun law to add to the sticky. 1 million in liability insurance if you own a gun

    And that attitude is precisely why I am a gun owner. When your hatred and irrationality overwhelms you and you come for me, I'll be ready.

    Another gun law to add to the sticky. 1 million in liability insurance if you own a gun

    Quite true, but that's why I prefer not to refer to the USSR as "communist". I prefer to call them "Stalinist" instead to emphasize that they really didn't give a crap about what Marx and Engels said.

    Another gun law to add to the sticky. 1 million in liability insurance if you own a gun

    Now, now. I fully acknowledge that *most* liberals are for gun control, but I'm not one of them. I tend to think they are foolish and acting purely out of ignorance and fear when it comes to gun control, and I do my best to educate them. It's a thankless, and mostly fruitless endeavor.

    Heard of Project Appleseed?

    So I got the Tech Sights mounted on the 10/22, as well as replaced the 1" sling swivels with 1.25" and GI sling. The GI sling doesn't really impress me - I think I might stick with the 1907 style in the end, but I'll give the GI sling a few more outings to see if I just need time to get used...

    Good GIRL with a gun Positive story

    This is unpossible. I've been assured many times that having a gun only makes it more likely that you get shot. Fake news. :sarcasm alert:

    Dick's Sporting Goods might remove all hunting gear from its stores after 'assault' rifle ban

    I've never seen a Dicks down here, but I wouldn't buy from them anyway. I get all my stuff from Academy or an LGS chain called Carter's Country.

    Another gun law to add to the sticky. 1 million in liability insurance if you own a gun

    Complain about the Democrats as you want, but don't accuse them of being Communist for wanting gun control. Karl Marx was a proponent of gun ownership.

    Silly person. Don't you know that guns are only for the rich elite who rule the country? Peasants should not have them.

    And yet then there is NYSRPA

    Not ragging on your spelling. I'm a terrible typist, myself. I just liked the image of the government issuing shale to people. It tickled my funny bone.

    And yet then there is NYSRPA

    "Shale issue"? Sure, why not! Give me some shale and I'll set up a fracking operation and make a ton of money! ;)
