  I held off on mentioning that one because I can't find it on the PSA website any more................??

Sometimes illegal is a sick bird. I think this is one of those times. IMHO. :pleased:

Thanks for the suggestion.

The last paragraph pretty well sums up their reasoning.   ""We have a lot of work to do," Smith said. "Running the background, history and legality of these weapons is going to require a tremendous amount of time. It's not a crime to have a large number of weapons so long as they were legal to own and legally obtained. We want to make sure that's the case."   In police work, you look for the different or the unusual. Here we have both. The Police have a large enough number of guns that the guy could have been in the back door gun business, or supplying them to the criminal elements of the U.S. or Mexico, or he could have stolen them. LAPD would be irresponsible not to check the legality of each and every gun under these circumstances. Only a stupid rookie asking to get fired would have released them to relatives without checking each and every one of them beforehand.  I've known some stupid cops, but I've never known one that stupid.   As for the confiscation of the guns, if LAPD just left them locked up in the house and one of them wound up at the scene of a Border Patrolman's murder, well, you see where I'm coming from. They had to secure the guns from both theft and misuse. Responsibility to the public safety demands same.   No big deal here. Routine and unavoidable police work done in good faith as far as I can see.

  Worse than too little too late, y'all. He waited five days to order the flag to be lowered to half staff in honor of five fallen soldiers, but waited less than a day after the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage to light up the entire White House like a rainbow. Wow. Words fail me on that one - and that's prolly a good thing.

  Here's the best of both worlds - a UTG carry handle sight. This is the best price I could find on one.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/UTG-Leapers-Version-6-Carry-Handle-Match-Grade-MNT-950-All-metal-BRAND-NEW-/391193888066?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b14f90542

  That's like taking a bird to task for having wings.

Yes, the UTG is pretty much a copy of the LMT unit, which also has one clamp. The RRA unit has two. The LMT unit sells for $135, the RRA for $99. DPMS makes one too, but I've seen a lot of criticism of it.

I think a lot of this UTG sight. I've had two of them and have found them to be very well made, so well made I have trouble finding any qualitative difference between it and the LMT and RRA units it resembles. Their adjustments are crisp and solid, and their click values accurate. If you'll go to the link you'll see there are 434 customer reviews with an overall rating of about  4 1/2 stars. At under thirty bucks I think they're a steal.   http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Model-Complete-Match-grade-Sight/dp/B001BR4VQ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437433822&sr=8-1&keywords=utg+rear+sight&pebp=1437433823071&perid=07ZD0RRGBF87AXJ3RDQJ

Typical liberal stunt.   

Yes, and if everyone goes elsewhere to buy their stuff, the City Council has just put all the gun shops in town out of business. Mission accomplished.

.....and you guys thought California was bad!

Yep and allathat beneficial stuff. But it's still a Hoversnake to me..............I get surprised by one I go into my famous bird imitation.....and I can hover like a summagun too!!

Thanks y'all. I cinched the tube into a vise padded with leather after lightly drilling out the staked metal and the nut loosened right up after one light-to-moderate tap on the wrench with a hammer. The tube is undamaged, as is the nut. Thanks again.

  Yep. The inmates are running the asylum for sure.

Well, I guess if the President can't handle Iranians yelling "Death to America" in the streets, disabled American gun owners will do. It appears that's more up his alley anyway.

If a member of the United States Armed Forces, especially one that is extensively trained in the use of small arms, cannot safely handle a pistol in public, then there is something radically wrong with our training establishment. I don't think for a minute that this is any more of a safety issue than for a police officer to carry one. Give them the damn guns.

Yeah, it's this kind of stuff that keeps me carrying full-frame big autos instead of J Frames and PPK's. Actually I've often thought of carrying an AR in my truck, but haven't convinced myself that I've worked out all the problems with doing that. We'll see. With my luck, as soon as somebody saw the AR I'd be misidentified as the shooter and get shot by responding police.

  .......immediately followed by the sound of large bills hitting the counter. :cry:

That's ok Moped. They're only open on Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 5 PM.

Has anyone nailed down the weapons used yet? All I can get is there were a number of firearms.

  Me too, Neighbor. But with a handgun prohibited sign on the front door where the attacks occur, it isn't likely that will happen - those people know how to read a sign announcing the area as an unarmed victim zone. I'm sure they also know our servicemen aren't armed in CONUS.

Widener's in Johnson City has the Anderson Multi Caliber stripped lower receivers on sale for $37. The 5.56mm unit is $43. If you happen to be in JC on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon between 3 and 5 PM you can go in and pick one or some up. I got a "multi" unit out the door for $51 including the background check. The darn thing is absolutely perfect. These are conventional lowers, not the ones with the built-in trigger guards.  FWIW   EssOne
