The best home defense weapon is a shotgun. CQB is what a shotty does best. Right now I’m a ***** for Kel Tec’s KSG, but there are a lot of affordable AR style auto-loaders out there. The most important thing to consider is corners. So, if you have to “cut the pie” which means to essentially turn a corner in a stead and crescent moon shape way. Like back out and then take the corner slowly, muzzle up, and “cut the pie.” If you have to do a lot of that then you want to consider a KSG or a Shockwave. I have corners so that’s why I go small. Easier to turn corners with. But, if your door, the “fatal funnel,”opens into a wide open area, then you want an auto loader which will be a bit longer, but that’s desirable in that scenario. Very advantageous. It’s all depending upon your terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skimming over it, its a pretty narrow ruling that allows the lawsuit to proceed only on the grounds that Remington may have triggered an exception in the PLCAA related to state laws regulating marketing practices.

Can't just let the bad guys have guns. Need mandatory minimums on using guns that are not legal in crimes of at least 25 years. http://www.caintv.com/detroit-police-chief-says-priv Little bit of both here: From the Detroit News: "Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. ...Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon. I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed. I can’t say what specific percentage is caused by this, but there’s no question in my mind it has had an effect.” Detroit's crime rate is still disastrously high, but it is dropping. Of course, don't waste your breath telling any of this to the anti-2nd Amendment nutjobs. They're still running around, yapping about how gun control works. “Our position is, more guns equals more crime,” Horwitz said “These are complicated issues, but the empirical evidence shows the states with the lowest gun ownership and the tightest restrictions have the fewest instances of gun violence." Democrats clearly favor criminals. After all, everyone is an angel. ....Except those white devils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I read that Singapore has a very low crime rate. If you use a gun while committing a crime in Singapore, the punishment is automatic death penalty. That’s very interesting. When people talk about gun laws, perhaps the punishment for use needs to be stronger. Then again , , merely possessing a gun in Singapore gets you automatic caning.

Tiberius Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association, the nation’s largest gun lobby, has settled on its next target on Capitol Hill: blocking Congress from reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law that assists victims of domestic and sexual violence. The House is set to vote on the legislation this week; the law expired in February. But the bill includes a new provision — aimed at curbing sexual violence by expanding law enforcement’s ability to strip domestic abusers of their guns — that the N.R.A. does not like. The measure closes the so-called boyfriend loophole by barring those convicted of abusing, assaulting or stalking a dating partner or those subject to a court restraining order from buying or owning firearms. Under current federal law, those convicted of domestic abuse can lose their guns if they are — or were formerly — married to their victim, live with their victim, have a child with their victim or are a parent or guardian of their victim. The proposed provision would extend those who can be convicted of domestic abuse to include stalkers and current or former boyfriends or dating partners. Jennifer Baker, a spokeswoman for the N.R.A., said that for “many of those ‘offenses’ — and I’m using air quotes here — the behavior that would qualify as a stalking offense is often not violent or threatening; it involves no personal contact whatsoever.” She argues that the new provision is “too broad and ripe for abuse.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/01/us/politics/nra-domestic-violence-congress.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage wife beaters are some of the NRAs best members I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
