    WTB Wanted: Inexpensive pump shotgun for a lady

    Makes no sense to me. Hacking the end off a old gun for $150 is perfect but $200 for a brand new, suitable pump off the shelf is no-go? For a gun she wants to protect her life with? I know you said you can't explain it, but if you can't negotiate a way for her to get a suitable working gun and...

    Ban lifted on gravity knives????

    Sorry if I offend any thin blue liners, but I know a lot of NYPD cops love getting an easy collar for gravity knives. Upstate cops never enforced "gravity knife" laws to begin with.

    A 16-Year-Old Girl Is Facing Child Pornography Charges for Making a Sex Video of Herself

    This happened last decade in Tunckhannock, Pa. DA there threatened to charge a bunch of 13 year old girls with child pornography for sending some racy photos if they didn't attend a reprogramming course!

    Remington Arms to temporarily close part of Upstate NY plant.

    This is so true. Andy said we "have no place in New York." It's lefty city folk who have no understanding or the least concern for our way of life, perfectly happy to drive us out of our homes and livelihoods. Once upon a time Connecticut and upstate NY were the historic strongholds of the gun...

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    I was told similar in a tactical shotgun class (in NY). I was there to learn shooting techniques, not to argue about the law though, so I kept my mouth shut.

    Ban lifted on gravity knives????

    Sure. New York had no law against butterfly knives/balisongs to begin with, so they were already legal. But some of them got swept up as "gravity knives". They aren't, because a gravity knife is defined to "lock into place" and a butterfly knife normally doesn't do that. There were still people...

    Tech giant brings software to a gun fight

    Interesting idea. Insurance companies love flushing their policies down the toilet? Can you explain to me why I can't go 5 seconds without encountering a GEICO ad? Or do you honestly believe that gun owners make so many more claims that they are actually uninsurable? Capitalism and the free...

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    As many others have pointed out, there doesn't need to be any attack. Burglary is inherently a violent felony. It is a complete defense to homicide in New York if you are using deadly force to PREVENT or TERMINATE a burglary or attempted burglary, and if you reasonably believe it is necessary...

    Tech giant brings software to a gun fight

    Freedom of association and commerce is. If I reserve the right to refuse service, then I can exercise my constitutional right to tell someone to take a hike from my establishment. The government should not have to tell me to provide services to someone I don't want to, full stop.

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    It might have been on point but it wasn't at issue so it's not part of Heller's holding. If you read it carefully that's clear. It seems likely that some level of firearm licensing is likely to be approved by the current supreme court but that case hasn't quite happened, yet. Heller itself...

    Homeowner Arrested After Shooting Burglars With Illegal Gun

    After he's arraigned on the felony it'll be sent to Utica and stay there unless it's moved to another county or dropped. Town courts have no jurisdiction for felonies beyond arraignment. I don't see SCOTUS as ripe to help him out here, and he's been through enough. One would hope that the DA...

    Man who stole 14 guns from Bergen business sentenced to state prison

    3D-printed guns are back, and this time they are unstoppable

    That may be true, but the point is that right now there are better options to mill, mold, bend etc. receivers from scratch than to 3D print them. The best actual 3D-printable AR15 lower looks like the FOSSCAD Bolt, which is pretty hokey, doesn't accommodate a bolt catch, and at least some...

    Man who stole 14 guns from Bergen business sentenced to state prison

    Composting of human bodies now legal in Washington state

    Composting of human bodies now legal in Washington state

    High-temperature composting kills the bad stuff. They already distribute composted sewage sludge, and you're not advised to put it on your veggies, but it shouldn't have any disease. After all, in nature everything dies and eventually turns into soil. I'm sure they'll tell people not to put...

    3D-printed guns are back, and this time they are unstoppable

    That's all nice, but 3D printed guns are still very much a "when all you have is a hammer" concept now. But if this leads to more interest in amateur gunsmithing one way or another, so much the better. And 3D printing only gets better with time.

    You can already do this with a traditional burial. Lots of old family cemeteries in the country, or the new "green/natural" burial cemeteries, and I like that notion.
