  Hipoints have a solid rep as a reliable inexpensive weapon.   The trigger cleans up nicely too.  Not a bad choice at all.

the mosin *is* a deer rifle.  Beat up already, if you get a half decent one the accuracy is sufficient and the caliber more than potent enough.  Its a little heavy, but why buy 2 that are the same thing (large caliber bolt action) when you have a tight budget??  You can get a 700 later --- those are fine rifles --- but I would make do until the money is there for the gun you want.   Just an assumption here but looking at it with logic, the next time you hunt a moose with a 7mm cannon you will pay more than a 700 is worth in air fare & meat shipping etc.... so you don't *need* that thing in TN right now.   I support the kel tec as a decent pistol however they are a little unstable.  Some ammo jams them up, and it may be quirky --- it is a significan engineering challenge to deal with such a long, skiny case in the 22 mag.   I am totally sure I would recommend it for defense purposes, and if you want to go there, be very sure you can get the gun to function reliably!!   22 mag costs same as 9mm roughly, so a good full sized 9mm would be a better choice if you get a reliable gun, such as a ruger P series or the like?  I like kel tec, its not that, its just a difficult gun to produce (that is why there are only a couple of 22 mag semi autos out there).   what sort of .22 do you seek?  A hand me down heirloom, I would get a solid target bolt gun, personally?

15 13375p3k k?

the biggest cover-up is that he shot each kid 2-3 times at least, I saw one report that said 3 was the least.  So he shot empty or nearly 3 mags --- he reloaded mid-stream, so low cap mags would have done nothing.   That is the big bait& switch by the media, that we *know* of.   May be more to it.

I was also disappointed in the knife.  I could have opened it with the knife without grinding it down first, they are not that thick.  Weakening it first is a GREAT idea but claiming no tools is a stretch.   The shoe trick is more like it.   I am impressed.    Caster, them bottles are tough.  Very tough.   I have yet to break one and wife used to make a lot of wine, stuff happens.  Drop, launch the cork and make a mess, but break? You gotta hit the side hard to break one.  Its why they make a good emergency weapon if you bust the butt end off, they are durable enough for it even broken.

Beats me.  You could probably walk in any direction for 1/2 an hour and exit the state.

Hehe I think any spider web would do, but for some reason that stuck in my head as the one they used as it was finer, thinner maybe?   If you try it, be careful.  They are not as dangerous as you might think (timid, can't punch thru good clothing, and not really agressive) but if you do get bitten it can get very ugly in a hurry.

  slower powders work great in longer barreld guns, yes.  Trying to divide that between handguns and rifles is misleading --- there are slower pistol powders (used a lot in magnums) and while rifle powders are slower than pistol powders there are still a variety of burn rates for both and a little overlap as many pistol caliber rifles and a few rifle caliber pistols (whatever that even means!! No one seems to know).    Translation.... a snubby 357 might want faster powder than a 10 inch long hogleg :)   I am not sure you get "more" velocity from a slow powder.  You get more velocity from a longer barrel, for sure.  I suspect you could get the same velocity out of fast powders in long guns, however, the recoil and pressure spike would be greater.  DUE to the pressure spike being bigger, and the slower powder being able to distribute the pressure over a longer burn, you could load a hotter round at the top end with slower powder in a long gun and see some small effect, yes.   I do not recommend max loads in general (harder on the gun, the shooter, usually less accurate, less room for a screw up, etc) so I would say that for medium loads you can get the same results out of any appropriate powder.

this word, mass destruction, I do not think it means what they think it means....

well... you could catch you a brown recluse and ask it nicely for some webbing ... I think that is what older scopes used?

most of those are not legal under the new proposed rules though.    Most of them have removable mags & flash hiders, too many "cosmetic assault features" or whatever they call it.   If you just unscrewed the pistol grip on the second one down, it would make a very attractive gun.    Also, I wonder if making your magazine into a grip counts... there are some tricks for that...

I wonder if the .22 LR caliber junkers count for this.....

in a heartbeat I would buy or assemble a cheap $500 AR for a 2k credit if I could find one or had enough parts to fake it.    These programs are AWESOME --- we get to turn a profit, liberals get to feel great about all the guns that are turned in, and as usual the taxpayer eats it but hey, its a better use of tax money than 99% of what gets spent.      I love me a fixed price buyback, but lately, the last few have been "up to" --- maybe they slowly learn.  

While using a powder that takes less per round saves money,  it can be harder to keep the loads consistent unless you have a high end scale and a good method to dispense exactly the charge you want.   Keep that in mind.   For example, say 9mm with uberhot powder takes 3 grains and your scale is good to 0.25 margin of error.  that is almost 10% variation!  If you pick kindaslow powder insetead and it uses 6 grains per, the error is 5%, see?  But you pay nearly double per round in costs.  Or you buy a very expensive scale and get better resolution on the hot powder...   whichever choices seem best to you ...  

not sure which gun was which.  He had several on him when arrested and had traded for some at the show.  I would trust the official document, then. 

  but why was the bafte pointed at him for a sting in the first place?   I do not disagree the guy is a crook and I am glad he got busted.  It just seems like he was targeted, to me, and that not too long after the incident.  It is almost as if they knew about him before, but let it slide.   Something about the whole case seems off to me, I can't put my finger on it  --- the best I can come up with on paper is "what a concidence that the one guy that got caught happened to be the one that sold that particular gun".    Which, of course, is easily countered by the epic stupidity of the perps --- if someone is going to get caught,  it would be the dumbest, most blatent one....     I dunno.  But I would see a lot more of these arrests if the cops and IRS and bafte know who they are.  It just builds a case against gun shows and supports the gun control idiots.

Some rtard in italy that knows clinton wanted to stick his oar in too.    If you can vote here, have at it.  If not, the doings of your own police state should keep you plenty busy, go away.

agree with caster but when the time comes you can put it back in slow & steady, you don't need to be able to twirl it 3x around your finger and stick it in clean without looking cowboy movie fashion.  Put any safety ON and drop it back in carefully when the time to do so comes.  Which is in between the arrival of a LEO vehicle and before they exit their car --- that is, as they pull up you lose the gun and show your hands. 

this pdf is readable, actually.    http://www.virginiamemory.com/docs/hires/BillRights_HR.pdf   its rough, but if you zoom in.  Remember its article 4 that you seek!

the actual text is all over the web.   A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.   The document is not readable easily, it is, after all, handwritten and rather old.    You can find pictures of the document but it is, again, a mess.  If you have a good paint program, download a GOOD image of it and run some filters on it to see if you can get the text to pop out.  But it just is not in very good shape.   I have a decent image now.  I will try to make it clearly visible.   If you pm me an email I will send it and you can post it here.  I cant deal with posting an image right now.

He did not respond to mine.  But I pretty much said what I thought about it in blunt terms.  Polite, but blunt.  I informed him that mag caps and AR bans were stupid and exactly why (criminals that ignore the law, and the 0.00000000001% of violent acts that involve a rifle or more than a couple of shots fired).   I told him the governemnt has to pay for the background checks on individual sales, giving the money to the FFL holder who does the service, at a rate of $50 per transfer.   If the govt does not pay for the transfers, I warned him that people would probably avoid the expense and skip the FFL.   How can he expect people to volunteer to give away money, after all?  No one is going to do that.

I guess I assumed entry-level meant "cheap" lol.  The CZs are probably the best of the "mid-priced" stuff IMHO, if you have the money for one they are amazing. 

at face value, it would seem like the EO prevents us from sueing the DR for asking.       At the tin foil level,  one could assert that the info will be used to deny or modify your obamacare coverage somehow or used, as you noted, to form a registry or something.   /shrug tell or not tell depends on you and how much you trust your DR etc.  Best I can tell, lying is only a crime under oath, the rest of the time,  unless it is about someone else, it is not (slander if its about someone else). 

welcome!  Lots of competetive shooting in TN, you can go nearly every weekend if you are willing to drive a bit and can find ammo.

No, No, NO! You did not read the fine print.     Of the democrats surveyed who own a shotgun and have an NRA membership, 70% agree.....     There IS an issue with a LOT of gun owners.  MANY who own one old rifle or something cannot comprehend why anyone would want more than one old single shot rifle and are against other folks having them.   They stab other gun owners in the back because they haven been hoodwinked into thinking these guns are actual military hardware and capable of full auto fire from belt fed ammo backpacks or something.   They honestly believe the media, in other words.    I doubt its 70% of the NRA, but 50% would not startle me at all.
