American Gun Ownership Highest In 18 Years

Well, it's one thing if you're sure the weapon is cleared.  But goddamn.

Soon...

Yeah, 3 pointers grow into 8 and 9 pointers faster than you think.  11Bravo's Operation LOL Sucker is proceeding according to plan.

Took the twins out to shoot their tiny Henry .22 rifles. They seemed to absorb the safety lecture pretty well. That and the rifles are single shot. Damn, it is tiring reloading the things.

Have to work on their aim a bit. Plus I posted a couple of pictures on my Facebook and my 2 ultralibtard cousins got pissed. So I got a laugh out of that.

Stupid chick cousins.

The FrankenMauser is just about complete. A re-barreled Polish small M98 Mauser action chambered in 6.5x55 Swedish, B&C Medalist stock, 22" ER Shaw barrel, Timmeny trigger, Interarms Mark X trigger guard. I just have to finish glass bedding the front recoil lug.

The House is really worried about 3D printed guns. So it's voted to ban them.
By Brian Fung, WashingtonPost.com

Should Congress ban plastic guns?

Members of the House think so. Earlier this afternoon, the chamber extended a blanket prohibition on undetectable firearms in Washington's latest attempt at grappling with a new and sometimes confusing technology.

Lawmakers such as Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) have been pushing hard for the renewal to pass. Last month, Israel likened 3D printers to "Star Trek" replicators, saying that the ability to 3D-print weapons had turned science fiction into reality. The current law is set to expire on Dec. 9.

While 3D printing has driven a lot of the recent furor over plastic firearms, the move to restrict their use dates back at least a quarter-century.

The story begins with one of the most popular firearms on the market today — the Glock. Back in 1988, the Glock 17 became a favorite for its lightweight polymer construction. Police officers were delighted that they no longer needed to carry bulky, six-round revolvers that were hard for some to use under pressure and required frequent cleaning. (Not every officer  )But the Glock soon raised fears that its plastic components would allow it to slip past security checkpoints.

So Congress came up with the Undetectable Firearms Act, a law that's now 25 years old. It prohibited guns that couldn't be picked up in a metal detector or X-ray machine, and has been renewed twice since its passage. If the Senate now follows the House's lead, Congress will have voted to renew the act a third time. Sen. Chuck Schumer has been a vocal proponent of the ban, warning that not renewing it would risk letting people bring 3D-printed guns into schools, sports games, government buildings and airplanes.

The actual risk posed by plastic weapons isn't entirely clear. It turns out that actually making a 3D-printed gun is a lot harder than it sounds. The devices are prone to breaking, whereas even more recent advances in 3D-printed metals have produced a gun that survived a monster 500-round stress test. The design for many 3D-printed guns include a metal pin to make them compliant with the Undetectable Firearms Act. But often, the part is easily removed.

Indeed, plastics may continue to be the preferred material for the surreptitious kind, making them an easy, uh, target for jittery lawmakers.

Wait, cops couldn't handle .38's? Hilarious.

The Judge. It fires shotgun shells. Badass.

[CountDeMoney]

Taurus. Brazilian shit.  What, no Caracals on sale?

Knew you were cheap.   Didn't know you were that cheap.

[Ed Anger]

 

Wait, I am cheap. Carry on.

Every morning when I go to choose my conceal carry weapon, I feel like a chick. Should I go with the PPK? Or the Glock? No, the old .38. No, maybe the Ruger LCR.

Decisions decisions.

[CountDeMoney]

You are a chick if you go with anything less than an American-made wheel gun.   You pussy.

[Ed Anger]

My German Walther is a fine gun. And it makes me feel like a Gestapo agent.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm sure it looks super on you during Shit Porn Night, Klaus.
