20,000 Gun Control Laws In The U.S. , How About Something That Might Help?

20,000 Gun Control Laws In The U.S. , How About Something That Might Help?

Instead of taking firearms away from law-abiding citizens, who help prevent crime, how about we make the system work better? Even Dems admit that all their new laws passed in the last five months wouldn't have prevented any of those shootings last fall. Here's a novel thought: fix ...

Why Gun People Don't Trust Anti-Gun People

Why Gun People Don't Trust Anti-Gun People

This editorial is the most well done and concise piece I've read on the gun debate. If anti-gun people want to know why we are so "obstinate", they should read this.

Gun Control nuts are seriously panicking. Are we that far from door-to-door searches?

Gun Control nuts are seriously panicking. Are we that far from door-to-door searches?

They've already abandoned the 4th Amendment in New Orleans and Boston in the name of public safety. Who's to say there isn't a public safety issue in Los Angeles, too? This L.A. law, along with the just-passed CA state law gives me the uncomfortable feeling this ...

The Battle Will Now Be At The State Level!

The Battle Will Now Be At The State Level!

Now that the Left has lost the fight at the federal level the battle for gun rights will fall back to the state level. Following this link is the easiest way I have found to send a pro-Second Amendment message to your lawmakers, all the way down to state representatives ...

Yamaha TW200 - The Trail Bike Perfected?

You don't really find many motorcycles that fit in the old category of "trail bikes" anymore. Everything is motocrossed out but this little baby from Yamaha gets us back in the trail riding look and feel. I have not ridden one yet but it certainly looks like the Hodaka ...

Uberti 1873 Horseman

Uberti 1873 Horseman

If I were starting out cold, I might have to give this pistol a good long look. Externally it appears to be an exact match to my SAA clones. Internally it seems a lot more like the Ruger New Vaquero. It has a transfer bar safety so you can run ...

Uberti 1873 Carbine

Uberti 1873 Carbine

This is the rifle to work with. There's all kinds of stuff that can be done to improve it for competition but all I did was a little smoothing and backed the spring tension screws off a little. If one so desired, a "short stroke" lever kit could be ...

Uberti Single-Action 1873 Cattleman

Uberti Single-Action 1873 Cattleman

Again, I have the EMF Hartford .38/.357 versions of this Uberti '73 SAA clone. The case-hardened frame is awful pretty but what's shown here is the John Wayne length and I got the 5 1/2" barrel. They slicked up real nice and pull real well from my ...

Uberti 1866 Yellowboy Rifle

Uberti 1866 Yellowboy Rifle

My very first SASS rifle was a stainless '92 Navy Arms short rifle in .38/.357. That heavy octagonal barrel just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not a long-distance, precision shooter; I'm a light rifle, mostly iron sight, Kentucky windage kinda guy. So the two competition ...

Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw

Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw

I wanted an extra set to use when the mood struck me and my son was getting closer to the SASS competition age (12 years old) so I was going to need spares anyway so I bought these in the 7 1/2" barrel, along with a '66 Yellowboy (all ...

Stoeger Coach Gun

Stoeger Coach Gun

I hate Flash-based sites. I had to go to a review instead of using the Stoeger site for my favorite CAS shotgun. I tried a '97 and it just doesn't work for me, although the slam-fire feature could come in handy in certain situations. Since I have my reload ...

Emasculation of Men | Be Legendary

A unique look at what it truly means to be a man on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. But also a look at why real men are few and far between, and the epidemic that is, the emasculation of men.

Building a Custom, Multi-Century House for Under $80/sf

Building a Custom, Multi-Century House for Under $80/sf

A story of one man who, in his own words, is “subverting conventional building practice with an act of permanence, constructing an energy-efficient, multi-century legacy home for the price of a vinyl-clad, production-built box.”

FNH USA :: TSR™ XP USA

FNH USA :: TSR™ XP USA

That troublesome Ruger M77 has now been replaced with this FNH model. It's the same thing, same caliber, but I expect this one to work. I had been looking at the Remington 700 and the Remington VTR but when I saw this FNH on the wall under the VTR ...

Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior: Rorke Denver, Ellis Henican

Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior: Rorke Denver, Ellis Henican

Rorke Denver played "Lieutenant Rorke" in the movie Act Of Valor, featuring real-life active duty Navy SEALs. Everyone should hear the three hour interview he did on the radio with Hugh Hewitt a few days ago. It would, I'd hope, change may people's view of the American warrior.

KWA CQR MOD2 Airsoft Rifle

KWA CQR MOD2 Airsoft Rifle

I tried powering down our KWA G36 and VFC M4 to under 350fps for indoor CQB play but it seems like such a waste of these great rifles (not to mention that the best they could do was get my son's G36 to about 280fps, yuck!). So decided to ...

Missouri Democrats Introduce Legislation to Confiscate Firearms - Gives Gun Owners 90 Days to Turn in Weapons | Gun Control | Fox Nation

The problem for MO will the same we encountered in CA; once the two major urban areas outvoted the rest of the state we were all in trouble. I see on the congressional map that St. Louis and Kansas City are over-represented by Dems. Watch for bad things to come ...

Smith & Wesson M&P; 9 Compact Semi/Full Auto GBB By VFC Airsoft Gun

Smith & Wesson M&P; 9 Compact Semi/Full Auto GBB By VFC Airsoft Gun

I gave up on my Glock 19. I just gave up on my Ruger SR9c. Something about the trigger (and my shooting style) they have in common makes me unable to shoot well with them consistently. Since the M&P line have a different style of trigger this baby will ...

A three barreled shotgun? Could this be considered one of those dreaded "assault weapons"? Looks like Chiappa had some of the more fun new products at SHOT.
