Oh, man -- "our transpublican rulers" -- I'm going to be recycling that phrase. Thanks, Whisper

I looked over the survey and responded to those parts to which I could...which wasn't all that many. There are far too many vague or even meaningless terms used here. And, as is usually the case when surveys ask about red flag laws, this one just wants to know about support for red flag laws, without specifying whether these red flag laws would have adequate safeguards to protect people from being falsely accused and to allow people who are wrongly accused to have their firearms returned promptly. Without those assurances, red flag laws will simply be a tool for harrassment of gun owners. Whisper

Yep, looks like it. Nice idea, for those lovers of the Macro. I prefer the XL myself, but more options are usually a good thing. Cheers, Whisper

Man, I love that 629.

Golden State Arms did in fact sporterize a lot of these guns and convert them to .308s with Pachmayr white line recoil pads like the one shown in your photo. The new chambering should be marked on both the barrel and on the magazine. I don't have one of these -- I'm a K31 guy myself -- but I understand they are nice rifles. GLWS. Cheers, Whisper

That Stand Manufacturing DP-12 looks remarkably like an M-1 Garand.... Cheers, Whisper

Exactly the reason you'd think -- harrassment of people who want to practice defensive training.

I find this highly unlikely, given that Biden needs a candidate on his reelection ticket who has some appeal to black voters. Newsom is, I believe, being prepped as the 2028 candidate. What's the source of this rumor? Whisper

I think I hear a moderator coming down the hall....

In the words of the immortal Moms Mabley: "They say you shouldn't say nothing about the dead unless it's good. She's dead. Good."

The Dorr brothers steal from gun-rights believers and from pro-life groups. They're vermin. Do a search for their names and you'll be disgusted. Whisper

New update from my sister: The gun is back from FN, who says they couldn't find anything wrong with the gun. It still doesn't work. FN suggested trying different kinds of ammo. Neither my sister nor her husband can get it to cycle reliably, so I don't think the problem is limp-wristing or anything like that. I note that there's a Reddit thread on FN Reflex failures to feed:

She couldn't get it to run, and it's been sent back to FN. Not an encouraging beginning. I'll report back when I learn more.

My sister just got one. First outing at the range was not encouraging -- many failures to feed. She's going to tear it down, lube it thoroughly, and try again. Whisper

Rats, I should have checked the classifieds earlier today. Someone's going to get a nice gun. Cheers, Whisper

Rats. The other end of the state. You're not coming to See Rock City anytime soon, are you? Cheers, Whisper

Well, if you never have to use it, you could carry a .22 Short derringer and not feel undergunned, right?

Welcome. Glad to have you here. Cheers, Whisper

Reading this, I think I hear jackboots in the street.... Cheers, Whisper

Glad to have you here. Cheers, Whisper

Nice gun. I like mine a lot. My favorite 10mm. Whisper

Beautiful gun. If it was a .32 I'd have to have it. Unfortunately, I don't think Beretta ever made any stainless .32s.

Price drop and bump.

Well, you could buy these and use them for shaving.
