Yeah, the whole exercise sounds like a superlatively bad idea.

We don't need police to protect us or patrol our neighborhoods or any of that. We can do that by ourselves. We'll likely have a lot more Trayvon Martins, but we can do it ourselves. I would argue that not everyone can do it themselves. Further, very few people want to do it themselves. Isn't the wh...

Re: The U.S. Constitution: A time for change?
I am what you might call a "constitutionalist." Some folks feel that the constitution should be a "living, breathing" document that changes to be more consistent with the times. Afterall, it was written before things like cars, televisions and nuclear arms were ever thought of. ...

My thoughts.... Gun ownership is intrinsically linked to militia service. Militia service is the most visceral display of citizenship possible; to freely risk your blood and life for your country. It is the supreme act that vests a citizen's franchise. Derived from militia service are other responsi...

I would start with saying police exist to make sure the accused make it to trial. As a society, we must enact retribution in an ordered fashion. Or else....

You first have to ask why the Germans did and why they might not. You say they were a symptom of bigger problems? Without elaborating on those, does this mean that they took advantage of a Roman weakness? Does this then imply that they fail to overtake the Romans due to the Romans lacking this weakn...

How do you like the offset optics? Any issues with zeroing or bringing the gun to proper alignment to use the sight? I'm particularly interested in how the offset scops align with the barrel. From what I understand, the M1 was never satisfactory in the sniper role because the loading procedure requi...

It's just poor design to make a machine that needs greater than normal cleaning (due to other, legitimate design decisions) more difficult to clean. And an AR-15 bolt rotates ~45 degrees anyway, as does an M60 and M249 with their 2 lug bolts. No, the AR bolt rotates 22.5 degrees. It's one of the tw...

I think Faxon, like Magpul and probably Robinson, may have addressed my one concern with 8 lug bolts in the AR15 platform; they make the chamber a bitch to clean.
