O Let's take a step or two back. Semi automatic pistols like the Model 1911 do not have multiple chambers like a revolver. They have one. To load a semi auto you insert a magazine. If you pull the trigger nothing happens. Because all the cartridges are still in the magazine. To move a...

Texting While Driving So while students are on the ban-wagon to outlaw everything that causes Teen deaths, I'm sure they will support banning cell phones. In 2013 texting while driving hit the radar as a leading cause of teen deaths- over 3000. Study: Texting while driving now leading cause...

Any "spire" point bullet will yaw when it decelerates and temple when it is dramatically slowed. What creates such great flight characteristics and the vaunted BC has a dramatic effect when it strikes a target. The heavy part is in the rear and gravity causes the bullet to reverse at some point...

Bingo. And what people fail to grasp is that as 2A goes, so go all other rights. Rights are not permissions, they are inalienable; rights we all share in equal degree, endowed by the Almighty, not man Which "shall not be a bridged". So if you start down the road of false promise, ceding...

Think about this - in 200 years the US never lost a war. Until the "draw" in Korea. I think it was 1949 when the Supreme Court banished prayer from schools and in the years that followed, prayer at government places. There was more court cases and legislation that turned religious freedom on...

Yes, huntng calibers will pierce ballistic vest - a vest designed for handgun calibers level III and below. A Level IV, usually with steel or ceramic places, will stop up to a .308. The other objects most will not stop are knife blades and arrows. You can get a "stab proof" vest that uses...

I just remembered this: The Supreme Court in 1995 ruled that Congressional term limits via legislation were unconstitutional because those limits were not set forth in the Constitution. U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779(1995) The Court reasoned that the election of...

Actually, there is nothing in the Constitution that allows for "regulation" of a right. Rights have been subject to limitations by the Supreme Court, but only to the extent that the exercise of those rights infringes on the rights of others. For example, the right to free speech does not...

Feinstein's Bill The Second Amendment They aren't either bothering anymore to try to reconcile their intentions with the Constitution. So they have chosen to ignore it, despite their oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. In other words, they have declared open war on the...

Along with the attacks on the Second Amendment, we cannot ignore what has happened and is happening at the higher political levels. Once again, on a staged, incremental basis. This is one time where I hope my math skills are not up to par. But, consistent with the title of this thread, here...

They will never stop. They are patient. They employ the tactics of communism through media infiltration, propaganda and slow and incremental concessions. 1789 - Second Amendment 1934 - National Firearms Act of 1934. The first federal gun-control law; levies a restrictive $200 tax on the...
