Re: Sweden needs garbage

There *could* be issues with using Russian garbage, such as heavy metals concentrations or somesuch.
Or perhaps Putin's Russia just isn't the kind of country that the Swedes want to work with.

Re: 10 dead, 35+ wounded at Batman premiere shooting

According to the news, Colorado has the most lax gun laws in the US- no ban on assault rifles or high capacity magazines, no background checks and no restriction on how many guns you can own. This is bullshit, the most gun friendly state in the Union is Indiana where it is still legal to own a full...

Re: re-installing windows 7 question

The OEM's partition does reformat the hard drive. Thats what I thought but I figured I better ask to be on the safe side. The problem with using the recovery partition is that it also reinstalls all of the bloatware the OEM got paid to load up the system with. What I do after buying a new system is...

Re: Gun control and Tuscon shooting?

Of course there are individuals who buy and sell as a business at gunshows that don't have an FFL, but they are violating Federal law in doing so, and the ATF *does* send undercovers in to gun shows to catch these illegal dealers. Do you have a link to the regulation where the ATF defines gun sales...

On the magazine issue, as a general rule I oppose capacity limits but I am willing to make an exception for pistols. Though I would prefer the limit be on magazine length (i.e. cannot extend more than 1 inch below the grip) as this wouldn't affect rifle owners at all while making the double size ma...

As far as my own opinion goes, I personally have no problem with requiring private sellers to use an FFL holder during the sale as long as the fee is kept reasonable ($30 or less per transfer). It's the mandates that don't set any limits on fees charged that I oppose. On the magazine issue, as a gen...

Even if he was on the "don't sell to him" list he could still obtain a gun via private sale or a gun show. If no new high capacity magazines were being sold legally then obtaining one wouldn't be impossible, just more difficult. There value would go up immediately, as would the prices, an...
