Marines have placed a $22.5 million order with Colt to make the 1911a1 again!!! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/28/marines-pay-22m-to-go-back-to-their-old-guns-colt-45-caliber-pistols/

Nor do I.

He is for a new assault weapons ban. That's what his press secretary says. As for tougher checks, how are is that possible? You either are a criminal and are in a database or your not a criminal. AS for the nut cases out there, HIPPA laws already preclude a Dr. of medical organization from giving out patient information. In order for that information to be checked, you have to re-write the HIPPA law. Also, just because you are seeing a psychiatrist, it shouldn't preclude you from buying a firearm. Now if that psychiatrist deems you a danger to yourself and others, that would be different. My question to you is, do you think the Federal Government should ban "Assault Rifles" and magazines over 10 rounds? Should it be illegal to stockpile ammunition? Is so, what is the cut off?

Exactly!

Well it's already against the law for criminals to have an AK-47, so what else could possibly be done, other than to outlaw them all together. Is that what he is proposing? He mentioned getting them off the streets. Usually, that is political speak for banning them. They have already tried an assault rifle ban that failed miserably, since the manufacturer's already had it worked out on how to market their weapons legally. He is on the record already, that he wants to re-instate that. I don't think we want to go back to such an era. Personally, I hope he (Obama) goes all out with the gun ban push for this election. I figure it will almost assure a Romney victory.

I am a criminal according Mr. Obama.

O'Reilly, is as big a blow hard as Limbaugh is!

It would be even better to have Mr. Obama out of office, and back in Chi-town, as well!

I guess, according to Obama, I am a criminal, since I own an AK-47. I'm the proud owner of a 922r compliant converted Saiga in .223!!! Mr. Obama, the words of the late Charlton Heston come to mind; "FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!"

Greene's Military and Police in Knoxville was where I stopped today, but they most not have had the Fury. That's the one Brandon Webb recommended. gjohnsoniv, I'd love to checkout a 500Lumen Fury, if you have access to it.

The Gas Chamber in basic was no where near that bad. I just snotted for about 15 minutes and then I was fine. That looked painful. Funny, but painful! the young make great guinea pigs!!!

I looked at a Surefire today. It was the one that requires constant pressure on the button and it was 200 Lumens. The Clerk asked me what I wanted it for and I told him for defense purposes. He allowed me to go into the dressing room with the lights out and shine the light, via a full length mirror into my eyes. It caused spots, but no blindness. I think I need to look for the 500 Lumen light. Now in fairness, this was at lunch and I had just come in from the bright sunlight. That might have had something to do with it. I want to pocket carry this, so no big light. However a 4" or 5" light fits into my jeans pocket just fine.

I personally have seen a 6" Dan Wesson out shoot a 6" Colt Python. Two friends of mine each had the revolvers at the range one day. And they shot head to head and then switched revolvers and shot again and the Dan Wesson had tighter groups than the Python with both gentlemen. This was back in the mid 90's. Dan Wessons are great pistols!!!

I second the Saiga! It's easy to do and you will really get to know the rifle inside and out. Once I did this I was blown away by how simple the design is!

Without research and the grants that fund research, many of the things we enjoy today, wouldn't be around. I think it's very important!

Spot on!!!

Excellent article! Thanks for posting it for us to read!!!

Well, if you are looking to conceal it, go with the Commander, if that's not a big deal to you, go with the Remington.

Thanks guys! I wanted a fresh batch to check out. You all have given me plenty to look at!

Well said Dolomite! I know how I would like to act, but I have not idea how I would react, if I were in that situation. Personally, I thought the mother did a great job! She know what had to be done and when to do it and when the time came, she made her break and kept her child safe. That was what was important. I suspect the first thing most of us would think about first is to make sure our loved ones are as safe as possible. There were several instances were boyfriends protected their girlfriends and lost their lives. Those are the ones that are being reported on. There may have been more among those that were wounded.

I'm looking for some good Prepping Websites. What are some of the ones you all use? I'm looking for information, gear, food, and forums. Knowledge is power and I want to get all I can.

I don't want to know anything about you being a Master of Porn...

I heard last night that he had received a Government Research Grant.

Reading on the Knoxville News Sentinel Website, that the rifle jammed and Holmes had to switch to another weapon. They didn't say which, but I bet it was the shotgun. I read in another account that a woman and her child escaped, when he stopped to reload. It makes sense that he switched to the shotgun. Of course, the "Evil Assault Rifle" with it's hi-cap drum magazine will be the real bug-a-boo! The drum was probably what caused the jam in the first place. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/jul/22/ap-source-rifle-in-colo-theater-shooting-jammed/

Got to go along with picking the lesser of two evils in this election or any election. All I really want out of this election is a conservative Supreme Court Justice. We have a better chance of that outcome, with the election of Romney, therefore I will vote for him. But IMO, the only thing I think either party cares about is themselves and retaining power for their party. What happens to this country is way down the list of importance for both of them. My feelings trickle on down to State and even local elections, now.
