Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.

The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.

Sure. And if a table of gang bangers pulled out their mac10s and laid them on the table? Like it was no big deal?

On this world, everything you see and everything you hold dear will someday cease to exist. Fact of life.

[Oceander]

It is indeed. Hercules had it easy, all he had to do was muck out the Augean Stables. Would that all we had to deal with was built-up cow turds, and not liberal excrement.

Gnight dear FReepers.
I think what we have learned is that there is resistance even in the most egalitarian states.

Keep up the good fight.

I've been looking for something like that HDS COMPAC RELOADING TOOL

What do you think?

[smokingfrog]

Does that have a peep sight on the back or what?

[Atchafalaya]

I do like my CZ75B.

To prevent outsiders miss-understanding Texas, we are a friendly people.

“Texas is not where you were born but a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude.”

The essence is something like this:

“Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that is not satisfactory, We will deal with it.”

for something to take out to a sight where you're working up loads, yes. For normal reloading I'd rather have the ordinary press.

One thing I tell people is that there are some things for which the technology of 1950 is unbeatable. I would MUCH rather have a good quality mechanical powder throw like the Harrells than one of the electronic powder throws I see being sold.

Thanks!
