The Obama-inspired gun-buying rush is over
Last November Barack Obama was elected president. Obama’s official platform included a renewal of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and he was widely (and accurately) perceived as being anti-gun. His election set off a massive gun-buying spree that saw record … Continue reading
More 10/22 goodies
Check it out. Ruger 10/22 bullpup conversion with walnut Steyr AUG stock. Practical? Beats me. Pretty nifty, though. FWIW, someone on The High Road had good things to say about the item just below that at the link, their combination … Continue reading
Impractical but cool guns – the AR-7
Tam started a meme: guns that are impractical, but cool. My pick is the AR-7. It’s cool but not very practical. Why it’s cool It was designed by Eugene Stoner, who designed the AR-15/M-16. Thanks to aluminum and plastic parts … Continue reading

What’s in a Name?
Reporters love using the term “assault rifle.” So much so that after the Virginia Tech shooting they called Cho’s Glock an “assault pistol” even though the Glock is by far the most common police handgun in America. Whatever sells papers, … Continue reading
