Every headline and comment on this is WRONG. The court allowed a lawsuit about malicious advertising practices to proceed. It has nothing to do with liability in the Sandy Hook tragedy. Yes the plaintiffs are parents of the victims and yes the defendant is the company that manufactured the gun but this case has nothing to do with the actual liability. This is about the way that Remington marketed their goods. I, personally, have no problem allowing this suit through and am anxious to see the outcome.

Using this story as a reason to build a wall is ridiculous. You can find stories like this daily that have nothing to do with immigrants.

I know they make a model that removed it or dropped it from the whole line, but I never considered them because I'm not interested in a gun with a button that renders my gun useless.

I've personally always found it really easy to make it into a collage. Especially if I'm the one making it. Facebook does it for you all the time now.

Until they are deemed illegal. And then they wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Well that's interesting.

The asian buffets around here used to have signs that said fried catfish. Now they all say fried swai fillets but its the same fish. So I always assumed that it was just a Chinese knockoff of real catfish.

1600 yards is beyond the effective range of a 308. Think more around 900. Past that, you are going to go transonic lose a ton of accuracy. While you may be able to consistently ring a gong out past that, you wouldn't be able to depend on that in a hunting situation.

Not impressed. Seems like just another gimmick round. Also looks like a metal version of those ARX rounds that Ruger put their name on for a while. Which was just another gimmick round.

The most common stock is the PRS although I think some of the guys do use options from Luth-AR.

Tried different mags yet?

That's odd. I've never read a bad review in an NRA publication.

1. She looks dry. Get some lube in there. 2. Tried multiple mags?

If you ever want to realize just how not free this country is, fly.

If that's all they were doing, they wouldn't have stepped in anything.

I think what this whole thing boils down to is that Benchmade is an apolitical company. And their refusal to take a side alienates their customer base. Now, they are trying to do damage control but still without being political. There have been a lot of people that have said that they aren't a gun company so who cares but knives are every bit as much a 2A issue as guns are. These things are deeply interconnected. What affects one will eventually affect the other. If they want to win back their customers, the right thing to do is own the political contributions and be honest about government contracts or pushing bills and then admit that they were wrong about the gun thing. But they won't.

The PD says that some were from a gun buy back. So yeah, they were taken from law abiding citizens. Benchmade's PR trying to defend themselves on a podcast. https://www.alloutdoor.com/2019/03/04/benchmade-attempts-damage-control-gun-talk-radio/ The Benchmade topic begins around the 2:30 mark, and by way of introducing it he talks about being “Zumboed” as in Jim Zumbo’s unfortunate remarks about modern sporting rifles and his resulting fall from grace. It would seem that Benchmade has been Zumboed. If you want to get right to it, skip to the 5:45 mark. Here are some of the high points: Benchmade has been destroying guns for the police for “a few years” but less than a decade. No law requires the police to destroy the guns; they could be sold to the public. This PD “has made a political decision to not sell guns back into the lawful trade stream.” Benchmade is selling this as “being supportive to law enforcement.” Benchmade said they’ll stop destroying guns for the police. Benchmadehas made multiple political donations to anti-gun Democrats and has no record of contributing to any Republicans or pro-freedom candidates. Benchmade says they contribute to Democrats because Democrats get elected in Oregon, and apparently these donations are intended to help pass a law to protect interstate travel for people transporting certain knives. Tom Gresham thinks that law is terrible and says, “I hope it never passes and I think you guys are wrong, to an incredible extent, to be pushing that.” He adds the new law “will only get people arrested.” After Tom says, “It’s even so bad that Dianne Feinstein supports it,” he’s met with dead air from Benchmade’s PR man. The lobbying group hired by Benchmade is ultra-liberal and one of their biggest clients is Planned Parenthood. At the end, Matt states:

I think that depends on your idea of fun. There are some weirdos out there that think hypermiling is fun.

We are getting there but we aren't quite there yet. Price and packaging are a real issue. Li-Ion batteries don't like to get hot. When they get hot, they expand and explode. Also, for cells strong enough to stand up to constant charge cycles and hard cranking, you are looking at a lot of money. The company that made my jumpstarter also has a line of batteries. You can see they start around $400. https://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/productline/starter-batteries/automotive/

I have this. It was closer to 100 bucks when I bought it. I liked it. https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage/workbench/60-in-4-drawer-hardwood-workbench-62603.html

The two USB ports in the middle are for charging devices.

They destroy drugs because their very existence is illegal, although again, that shouldn't be. They sell off everything else. They don't destroy anything because its a source of revenue for them. Seized property auctions are common and I've attended a few. As for cars, I would prefer that cars never be crushed for any reason. I'd prefer for people to bring them back to life and give them the love they deserve. But that doesnt happen for myriad reasons. So then the cars pile up in junkyards. No-one is going to bring them back. So they are crushed. The big difference between guns and cars is that while people aren't clamoring for that Chrysler K-car, they would line up to buy even the cheapest piece of junk gun to throw in their safe. There is no shortage of buyers. So there is NO reason to destroy a gun, policy or not.

Crushing cars in general or after they stolen by the cops?

There is no such thing as an illegal gun. There are illegally possessed guns but the simple existence is not illegal.
