The Gun Thread

But I can go online, and get an AR-15 with 6,000 rounds of ammunition. Don't you find that to be inconsistent?

The big problem that I see is that this statement is a lie.

While it is true I can "purchase" a firearm online, it HAS to be mailed to a licensed FFL (Federal Firearms License) holder, who MUST go through all the paperwork and submitting the background check on me before I can have it. Just as if I went into a gun shop and purchased one.

Liberals want to gloss over that fact when discussing the purchasing of a firearm.

The ONLY way to purchase a firearm without filling out the federal paperwork, and doing the background check, is to purchase from an individual...

the first, kind of grew on me, hammer fired, SA/DA, manual safety

I have been hearing good things about this one. The DA/SA folks seem to like them a lot.

Since this IS the firearms thread..... this is my latest addition. My EDC (every day carry) has been a Sig P938, which is basically a mini-1911... carried cocked and locked.

I really really wanted my Sig P250FF to be my EDC, but not matter what I do I can never really "conceal" it.

I didn't know about the 250..... it says it's a double action only (DAO) handgun.... is that correct?

What size is it, compared to, say, a Glock 19?

this is a dandy too, kind of heavy, but has a rotating barrel as opposed to a toggle link to dampen muzzle rise.

I know of people who go to Germany to buy their jet engines for their RC aircraft, tell the spouse, it make our shooting sports hobby look cheap by comparison.

Long gone are the good old days when a cat’s biggest worries were mean dogs or a bath. Modern cats must confront satanists, online predators, the possibility of needing to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and countless other threats to their nine lives.

For over four decades, the American Association of Patriots have stood at the vanguard of our country's defense by helping to prepare our nation's cat owners for the difficult conversations they dread having with their pets. Written in a simple Q&A format, How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety answers crucial questions such as, “What is the right age to talk to my cat about the proper use of firearms?” and “What are the benefits of my cat living a lifestyle of abstinence?” and especially “Why does my cat need to use the internet? Can’t he just play with yarn like cats used to do?”

So my cat finds a gun, what’s the big deal?

It is frequently said that curiosity killed the cat, but what is often left unsaid is that the actual cause of death was the improper discharge of a firearm by a poorly trained feline. Cats are inquisitive creatures, no doubt about it. They are going to explore every nook and cranny of your home. And if you keep a firearm in your place of residence (which you should), it is only a matter of time before your cat discovers it. Pawse for a meowment to think about which scenario you would rather have play out:

Your cat, never having seen or handled a gun before, bats it around as if it’s just another toy or stuffed mouse, possibly discharging it in the process?

Or,

Your cat, whom you have already talked to about how a firearm is a tool and not a toy, and who has received extensive training on the proper handling of the weapon, discovers your firearm and accords it the respect it is due?
