How coincidental, I just bought a new Leupold scope for my newest AR15-guaranteed to deliver consistently repeatable accuracy at extreme distances and I purchased special hollow point ammunition with polymer tips that prevent clogging up when piercing thick or heavy clothing, like a hoodie for example.

There is nothing the standard AR will handle that I would consider a good long range round. Try stepping up to the .338 lupua or at the very least a 300 mag.

Paula Deen definitely does have a magazine. She lost a TV show, but the magazine lives on.

Where do you live that you don’t see gun magazines? I see them all the time. I even see them in airports.

Funny you should say that, I’m getting a scope for my .300 win mag next. Still trying to pick one out. I have to admit though, I am a fan of the AR15 and the 5.56 mm round. It’s capable of a lot more than some people give it credit for. it isn’t a “long range” rifle/round, you’re right about that but at mid range, it’s plenty adequate.

Maybe I just haven’t been looking for Gun Magazines, because right now, I cant afford another one. Same reason I don’t look at Auto Books, I’m still driving the Honda Civic Eggbeater for now. I’m north of the San Francisco, Oakland California Area.(Marin County).

I’m in Marin as well.

I’ll keep my eye out for a Honda Civic with perhaps an NRA sticker on the bumper.

Kinda’ like women’s magazines... seriously, WTF is with those magazines for women???

My first thought, too.

Kinda like getting a lecture on "tolerance" from a muslim, ain't it?

I’ve been looking for a new red dot, myself.

Can’t seem to find one in bifocal ;-D

I have plenty of Six-shooters. They’re mostly patterned after the SAA or later. My favorite is my Uberti Wyatt Earp Buntline with 10” barrel chambered in 45 Colt.

I hear ya brother.....bifocals, trifocals and progressives are a real turnoff when shooting.

It’s a funny thing, though. Each time I have to get a new prescription, my eyesight has gotten progressively better. I finally gave up the progressives and went back to single vision. And now with my arms outstretched I can see the sights and target with them. Hooray!

Silencers are legal (at least in my state). I see ads all the time for them. It takes an ATF Form 4 and a $200 tax stamp.

“There was no clarification if this was suicide ,an accident or other.”

She has changed the article to make it clear that her father suicided. It would be enlightening to compare the original sentence to the one existing now.

Anyone have access to the original article?

Instead of trashing the Constitution and taking away people's RIGHT to keep and bear arms, how about standing up for the RIGHT of freedom of religion and put God back in schools and start teaching respect for life, respect for others, respect for self, respect for parents and teachers.

Then watch gun violence, teen pregnancy, suicide, bullying, knockout games and other forms of disrespect start to disappear.

Oh! And while you are at it, start teaching real science instead of global warming/climate change BS.

You know you have a shill when they mention “the gun lobby” as opposed to the American people.

The American People ARE the gun lobby!
