    Majority of senate Republicans support internet sales tax

    Obama says he will veto it though...but I'm not going to hold my breath with anything he promises!!! NEVER MIND, my bad, That was CISPA he said he would veto. Of course Obama would be for more taxes... LINK " The White House today delivered a formal veto threat against a controversial...

    Gun shop blocks Mark Kelly’s right to buy AR-15, citing political ‘intent’

    It's ok, I'm balding too. It happens. Life is too short to take these things personally. Regarding Mark Kelly's purchase, I agree with the person that said he bought the gun for himself...and then made up the story to cover it up. Now he is caught up in the lie.

    Looking for a well made knife

    These are my to three top recommendatioins for an everyday fixed blade for a decent value. 1. Buck 119 - My "value" choice. One of the best bargains out there! You can get it on sale for less than $40 bucks too. Why spend more if you don't need to...

    Scope Advice?

    Thanks for clearing that up. This is good info. Sorry Darguth, Maybe you could swap out your entire upper at a gun show for a nice used flat top? Just a thought to save U bucks.

    Scope Advice?

    Wouldn't you have the same "high jaw/chin weld" concern with any other scope too? Check out this pic with the raised cheek weld to accomodate the difference. As you can probably tell, I do not own an A2. So this is interesting to me.

    Scope Advice?

    I think the ACOG "looks" perfect on an A2 fixed handle, although I've never shot one that way...but I would have to think it would be a great setup?

    Scope Advice?

    There are a ton of good options out there, but these are the scopes I prefer... Cheap, Sub-200 - Nikon P-223 Mid-range, 2-500 - Burris MTAC or Nikon M223 Higher end 500+ - Trijicon ACOG w/RMR sight or Leopold if you prefer a more traditional scope That said, I would recommend paying up and get...

    Why Rand Paul's Hair Looks Like That

    Rand has the same funky hair gene from his dad's massive eyebrow hair mojo. LOL Remember when everyone was making a big deal about Ron's eyebrows saying they just had to be fake?

    SHTF Long Gun for Petite Girl?

    Another consideration could be a 22lr, 22 mag, or 357 lever action. A Marlin Mare's leg is a really cool option too, although technically still a pistol. Marlin, Browning, Winchester, Henry...

    The Garden Song. I like this Arlo Guthrie cat.

    Went to see Arlo live with my mom a few years ago, such good memories. He even signed two copies of "Mooses Come Walking" for my kids. Mom continues to be such a non-informed lefty, but over the years Arlo and I have at least convinced her that Ron Paul is not as evil as the rest of the...

    Recommend a 9mm handgun

    For those worried about the stopping power of 9mm, why even bother with the 40 or even 45? Just go all out and get yourself a 44 magnum or 500 S&W??? Seriously, debating a 9mm +p VS a standard 40 SW? The difference in stopping power is very miniscule. So again, if you are truly concerned...

    Recommend a 9mm handgun

    My Favorite 9mm Pistols: For pure dollar Value = Taurus PT92 - I think this is the absolute BESTvalue out there! For simplicity & field proven reliability = Glock 19/26 - Plus there are a TON of great mods to make it your own. For quality and "show & tell" factor = Sig Sauer P226/P229 - Top of...

    If 'Assault Weapons' are bad.....

    A FN SCAR 16 SBR with a 10-11" barrel would meet these specs. You would have to retune the gas port of course if you swap barrels out. Just FYI - the standard 16.25" barrel version ranges from 25" with stock folded to 31-35" with stock unfolded and extended. So that might suffice in your case...

    Rising Prices

    Absolutely right! If you aren't prepared by now, it is your own fault. Just FYI - they already sold out. I frequent the gun forums, and see good deals sometimes. If I see more availability for decent prices, I'll continue to post them here, as long as I don't tick someone off.
