    Muzzle device question

    You can have a threaded barrel on the weapon in NY as long as the weapon is: 1) not semi-auto OR 2) does not have a fixed magazine. All three of those conditions together make an "assault weapon" (with respect to rifles). Bolt action with detachable mag and threaded barrel - legal. Semi-auto...

    California- 15 new laws signed; your co-workers can now request gun confiscation

    So much for slippery slopes not applying to gun rights... When the ACLU is siding with gun owners, you know the law is tyrannical garbage.

    Virginia police officer suspended after turning in suspected undocumented immigrant over to ICE

    Is Illegal Immigration a Crime? Improper Entry v. Unlawful Presence So this seems to do a decent job explaining the difference that these municipalities are exploiting to protect illegal aliens. Federal law needs to be updated to give unlawful presence, failing to show for deportation hearings...

    NY AG sends cease and diciest order to web site selling 80% lowers

    Yeah, I got through the first time I clicked the ghostgunner link (on Thrus.) but a couple hours later it was redirected. I was a bit shocked because, last I knew, that product was put out by Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed. They've had a good history with fighting to keep arms manufacture...

    The cult of Greta Thurnberg

    I certainly hope that Hummer was actually driven all the way across the country to NY so that she could use it to drive to Montreal. Flying it or putting it on a truck surely would've had a larger carbon footprint than using a normal car to make the drive. Even so, how much of the electricity...

    Look out Phantems with your ghosties!

    Even if these sellers/manufacturers were in NY, they aren't doing anything illegal. 80% lowers are still perfectly legal in NY. They aren't "assault weapons" and they can be made into weapons that aren't "assault weapons." I don't see how she has ANY authority whatsoever to do this. Holy...

    NY AG sends cease and diciest order to web site selling 80% lowers

    This isn't even about the bill... it's about the AG acting unilaterally and abusing her office for political persecution.

    NY AG sends cease and diciest order to web site selling 80% lowers

    Great point. Still extortion but I think this motive is worse than simply cutting the supply. Why do they want their lists so badly? We've been right to be skeptical and resist registration schemes.

    NY AG sends cease and diciest order to web site selling 80% lowers

    This is fucking extortion. The overwhelming majority of those receivers sold to NYers are NOT being made into "assault weapons." Even if a few are assembled into "illegal" weapons, that's on the individuals, not the seller. But the cocksuckers know that fighting it will cost way more than what...

    The cult of Greta Thurnberg

    She gave a TED talk in 2018 where she claimed Asperger's, OCD, selective mutism, and depression. Easy to find with a search engine if you're so inclined but it's mostly more of the same climate outrage.

    Trump 2Aish again for now

    You're inability to see what's right in front of you is disturbing. If this really is all false flags and the work of the swamp/deep state, why is he caving AT ALL??? I agree that he loves this country but he doesn't have the commitment to the founding ideologies to truly make the best choices...

    Trump 2Aish again for now

    The problem I see is that he'll be unencumbered by reelection if he wins a second term. We have another spate of shootings and subsequent push like this in his second term, he'll fold immediately. The only hope then is that we have majorities in both the House and Senate that are strong enough...

    Army announces new cartridge

    I don't know if they'll hit those numbers in a reliable package but evidently that's what they're looking for. One thing is for sure, they're definitely looking for that one do-it-all magic round. You have to remember, the bullet choice has already been made and 6mm wasn't it. I'm not sure why...

    Army announces new cartridge

    Chill dude - it's not the 6.8 SPC. It'll be bigger but evidently there are still a couple submission still being eval'd. General Dynamics (weapon by True Velocity) has the composite polymer round, Sig has a bi-metal cased round and Textron has developed a telescoped composite case. All three of...

    investigators want information on users of Obsidian 4

    So I watched Glenn Beck's interview with Tim Pool. They got into the invasive nature of Big Tech and Pool had and interesting take. He said to think they're listening to you is a naive view.

    I hear what you're saying. Listening to these two (and others of course), it's apparent that I'm woefully ignorant. But this is what they do. It would take me a decade or two to even have a hope of becoming competent enough to confirm or refute the conclusions that they've come to. So I'm...

    Camille Paglia & Jordan Petersen. Two hours. Get your thinking caps out before clicking.

    Wow, she is tough to follow - like she's on the autism spectrum. At least she repeats herself a lot. I'm about half way through it, but I'm surprised how often they agree or are close to each other. This is why I'm drawn to the longer interviews lately. A lot of people don't necessarily line up...

    A-1054A amended

    The security requirements and the 90 day window from passage to enforcement will put all the kitchen table FFLs out of business. It's the same kind of crap that they pulled in Illinois, just slightly less tyrannical.

    Erie Co. D.A. discusses Red Flag Law before it takes effect

    So when the 12 year old kid (I'm fairly certain the minimum in NY is 12 with a hunting license and 16 without) gets cleared and he goes to get "his" gun back, how is that going to work? He's a minor. Can they legally give it back to him or would his parent need to take possession? Let's not...

    Erie Co. D.A. discusses Red Flag Law before it takes effect

    That lying piece of shit! "I can't take Dad's gun!" Bullshit! It says in the god damn law that the cops HAVE to take all guns they see or find as a result of the search (which won't be limited to juniors room, it'll be the whole residence and maybe the whole property). Then the lawful owner has...

    The enforcement problems with gun-grabbing ‘red flag’ laws are even worse than you think

    Something just occurred to me... How vulnerable are small gun shops to harassment under these laws? If it's a one or two man shop, I'd think it would be nearly impossible for the business to survive one of these red flag claims brought against the FFL holder.

    Trump to use Executive order to censor Internet.

    I'd argue that we're trying the free market every day - or at least to the greatest extent we'll ever again manage. The barrier to entry as a social media platform is incredibly high. I doubt that we'll ever see anyone out Facebook Facebook. But the first two responses... exactly how far IS the...

    Trump to use Executive order to censor Internet.

    Yes. But should they choose to censor, they should also not be immune from lawsuits for users posting content that breaks copyright, libel or slander laws. If they want to maintain their immunity from these lawsuits, they should not be allowed to sensor. Basically subject them to the traditional...

    Trump to use Executive order to censor Internet.

    Copyright IS one of the things we're talking about. The law protects these internet companies from being sued over it. This EA is reported as changing the way this protection is applied. It isn't censorship. It's 'if you're gonna suppress speech, you have to take on the responsibility for...

    Trump to use Executive order to censor Internet.

    Beliefs are beliefs until you believe that humans are delicious and start eating them. There's an external consequence in that case. Censorship doesn't have level distinctions like that. To censor is to take an action that affects someone else. You've drawn a false equivalency. If it's bad, why...

    Trump to use Executive order to censor Internet.

    I don't think you understand how this system works. The government isn't and wouldn't be censoring social media by considering them publishers. The system just allows people to sue publishers for things that are slanderous, libelous or violate copyrights. These things need not be political in...

I usually use FrogLube on everything. There's a couple issues with that though - it tends to get gummy over time and it doesn't play...

    $299.99 Chinese SKS

    Be aware that Aero makes two version of upper, the M5 and the M5E1. Both use the DPMS pattern (vs the Armalite pattern) but the E1 has an integrated barrel nut. That will restrict your choice of handguards. I've got the M5 upper but it's still in the box. I'll update if I get around to building...
