A few years ago on one of our bear hunts, we were watching a mountain grizzly who was down a steep slope about 50 feet below us. There were 5 of us, 2 guides, an Indian tracker, my husband and I was the only one without a gun. The bear could have made it up that slope in about 2 seconds if he had wanted to. He was big not not as big as the grizzly post here. Wow! I can't wait to show this one to Mr. Ditter.

when i did this with my children, clintoon was president, the rifle had a lug for a bayonet...that was not illegal at the time, but actually attaching the bayonet made it an assault rifle

Do they realize how good 20 dead in 9 years is?

Deer hunting with an AK-47 can be fun.

Doesn’t China have a million-man army? What about that of India? I imagine there were more numbers run than that.

Years ago, I bought a ChiCom SKS and 1000rds at a gun show. Told the vendor “Thank you, sir ... and Fsck You, Sarah Brady”.

Mad, some lever-actions are banned. And probably H&H rifles as well.

I held the FN 5.7 pistol on Sunday - They needed to get $1400 for it. It is on my purchase list.

What makes it attractive to you?

I’ll admit I like the idea of a 20 round mag and I suspect it will be a very accurate handgun but I can’t see spending that kind of money on something that gives me a .224 caliber, 40 grain bullet with less stopping power than a 9mm.

Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Tools:" (Thanks to whomever thought that up)

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

It's SOP for the Social-fascist Dhimicraps and specifically at places like the Disarm the law-abiding policy center.

Go after an unpopular target and demonize it as a first step in attacking a whole group.

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”

-Alexander Hope, from the novel “Hope” by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman

Got a handy reference to that one?

Not at the moment - I failed to bump the thread for later reference. I'll check my home computer later this evening - the page will be in the browser cache.

I’d appreciate it.

I’ve been wondering for some time now what the annual increase in the “inventory” is.

That’s the thing that these anti-gunners don’t seem to grasp -

when it’s just as illegal to have a Ruger 10/22 as it is to have a M-16,

people get the M-16.

That's Rule 13 in my copy. Is that a typo or are there two versions of the rules floating around?

1 ) Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2 ) Never go outside the experience of your people. It may result in confusion, fear and retreat.
3 ) Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat.
4 ) Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules.
5 ) Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
6 ) A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
7 ) A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8 ) Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
9 ) The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10 ) The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11 ) If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
12 ) The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13 ) Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.

What makes it attractive to you?

This is a pistol that has a usable accurate range of 100yds +. This would be a blast to shoot and develop long range handgun skill with.

I can’t see spending that kind of money on something that gives me a .224 caliber, 40 grain bullet with less stopping power than a 9mm

At 2800fps+ there is many times the energy behind a 9mm. Using the proper bullet (to utilize the energy on impact) this is a GREAT personal protection weapon. There is a reason the FN is the preferred sidearm of the Secret Service.
