  1. Because I don't have one and can't think of any reason to buy one since we routinely have 300 yard shots here. I want something that's got some decent ballistics.
  2. All good points. We had a shot at a nice deer this weekend with my .270 but I knew he was not ready so we just watched. Got him fired up for next season, though (which was the point). Between now and next season I'm going to let him shoot about 1000 rounds of 5.56 and then move him up to .243 or 6.5. Like everything else, the secret to shooting is shooting. I have put countless rounds through my .270 but didn't shoot it for about five years until this season. Took it to the range, sub 1" group at 100 yards. Just plain old muscle memory.
  3. I was thinking .243 as well, but then I thought if I got him a 6.5 he could use it forever. Thanks for all the replies. I may just get him a .270 and tell him that's what deer hunters shoot and if he doesn't like it he can go take ballet.
  4. I need a deer hunting rifle for my 13-year-old, who is left-handed (the bastard). I want something that is effective but doesn't have too much recoil. How is the 6.5 Creedmoor as a deer gun? For sake of comparison, I'm a .270 guy.
  5. The purpose is to make things harder on law-abiding gun owners and ultimately get rid of guns, except maybe some sporting firearms. That's why they chose non-existent technology. There's a pretextual nod to "public safety." It's like DC's firearms registry. The DC AG said it was so the police could check it when they got a call and cross-reference the address to see if they were approaching a person who had a firearm. That makes sense, right? Except that the police do not do that, and never did.
  6. SAAMI filed suit along with NSSF There is a patent on the technology but it has not been reduced to practice by anybody ever. Including the patent holder.
  7. I could find one. Here is FactCheck: https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/orourke-endorsement-triggers-false-posts-on-bidens-gun-policy/
  8. I had the internal mount on the scope rings come lose before. Check that too.
  9. don't he's wrong
  10. Here's an article from noted dipshit alt-right site ... Reuters https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-biden-orourke-guns/partly-false-claimvideo-shows-joe-bidensayingif-he-wins-hes-coming-forourguns-idUSKBN20S2ST
  11. It's a tightrope because it's frowned upon to pepper the thrower.
  12. No, what has happened is that California requires dual micro-stamping for any handguns that will be added to the roster. The firing pin of the firearm must imprint a unique code on each primer of each round that is fired, and the bullet itself must be micro-stamped as well, so it can be identified and matched with the firing handgun if it is recovered. Since the technology does not exist to do this, no manufacturers will be adding firearms to the list. I can assure you no manufacturer is boycotting the biggest firearms market in the world. There is pending litigation involving these issues.
  13. Rogen was funny in Freaks & Geeks and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Otherwise, he sucks.
  14. It's Coming to America 2, not Citizen Kane. I doubt the plot is really all that critical.
  15. Yes but that happens all the time (like when you are arrested). There's a balance between the exigency of the circumstance and the interest in predeprivation process. The real devil is in the details here. Everything that happens AFTER the petition is heard ex parte is what the concern should be. I'm not trying to be condescending, but "ex parte" is just lawyer talk for "only one side is heard."
  16. Like I said, some do, and some don't. It varies by jurisdiction.
  17. No need to apologize. I started it with the "you ever say anything" line. It's cool. This is a touchy topic and we need to remember that we're all here for the same reason: unyielding loyalty to Alabama football.
  18. You may as well have just said "no." What exact problem are you trying to solve? Murder? Mass shootings? Domestic shootings? Illicit arms exports? Straw purchases? Each of these would require a different approach and you have yet to articulate the problem you see, and how what you are proposing would solve or even improve it.
  19. the dynasty is over (tm)
  20. The lack of process is all in the details, and it varies by jurisdiction. If you have a red flag law that requires a sworn statement with a penalty for lying, is actually temporary, is actually of a short duration, AND automatically returns the firearms when it expires or is terminated, then you are pretty close to something that deals with a serious problem with sufficient respect for the due process rights of the respondent. As long as gun rights are not terminated, or the guns permanently withheld, or the respondent has to actively litigate their return ($$$$$$$), then it may be alright. Most ERPO states do not work that way. The liberty and property rights are divested without an opportunity to be heard, and then the litigation that ensues is a circus. Very tough. And there are places where it is extremely easy to get a temporary observation in place. In PA, for example, all you have to do is have a doctor sign a form and you can be held for up to five days. Your Second Amendment rights also happen to be terminated permanently at that point. You can have your firearms and ability to use them restored by legislative grace, but the actual right ceases to exist.
  21. You ever actually say anything?
  22. I am sorry for your loss. You are remarkably reasonable in discussing these issues given your personal background and that's very impressive.
