alright.. can someone show me an example of any "anti-gun" laws in detroit? i keep hearing people here say it, but i've never heard anything about them having any laws that are different from anywhere else in MI.

I've got a couple Romanian AK's, one WASR-10 and one SAR-1. I like the SAR better than the WASR. The double stack mags fit better, because they were designed for it. I have a couple 75 round Chinese drum mags that I use with them too.

A neet feature of the AK is that you can simulate full auto firing using a technique called "bump firing." It works with any semi-auto AK clone.

The way bump firing works is; you hold the weapon down by your hip (pointing it in a safe direction of course), and insert your index finger in the trigger guard just forward of the trigger. Then with a firm grip on the forend (handguard) with your other hand pull forward firmly, the recoil of the weapon will cause it to continue firing until you relax your hold, or until the magazine is empty. It isn't a very accurate way of shooting, but it's a lot of fun, you can go through a thirt round mag in just a few seconds.

Here's my last purchase..a Taurus .44 Mag that only weighs 28.3 ounces and kicks like a freaking mule..

I just bought a Henry rifle in .44 Magnum. Octagon barrel, solid brass receiver, beautiful!

I have a .357 titanium S&W airlite (?)PD(?)
Even that thing leaves a mark with a glove on. Light as hell tho.
I can't imagine a 44 mag (but I'd like to).

"I can't imagine a 44 mag (but I'd like to)."

I've taken to using .44 Spl. for target practice. Still a pretty good kick though. It's definitely a two-hand gun.

Bought a harrington and Richardson 45-70 this year. Why own a gun when you can have artillery.

"...you can go through a thirty round mag in just a few seconds."

It sounds like fun, but... uh... a bit expensive! Anyway, thanks for the tip; maybe I'll give it a try. :-)

Thanks for the ping.

I just read a report from the Chief of Police in Washington DC has declared a “crime emergency” in that city. This was in response to a sharp increase in crimes citywide in recent weeks. They had fourteen homicides in the first 12 days of July. A 16% increase in robberies and a 14% rise in serious assaults over the past 30 days. This is all taking place in our nation's capitol, which has the strongest anti-gun control laws in the nation. No one can own a handgun in that city. This should tell us all something about what the results of strong gun control laws do to the honest citizen. It makes you a victim of the criminal, leaving us with no way to protect ourselves.

Powerful stuff...
