I may be tough with my beliefs, but I don't think an out right ban is a good thing either.

thats kind of how you need to have ARs in california, if you have any "assault weapon" features your magazine needs to be fixed into place and the gun's lower and upper receivers must be separated for you to remove the magazine or load it with a clip

Democrats love to mischaracterise the gun ban in Australia

@garonedin On the bright side, if history is any guide, NYS has a <5% compliance rate with it's own rifle registry. Plus local rural sheriffs are known for simply ignoring gun laws whenever possible (often being elected simply to do just that). https://hudsonvalleyone.com/2016/07/07/massive-noncompliance-with-safe-act/

If you want a nice narrative on how this all plays out: https://reason.com/archives/2018/02/20/after-the-gun-ban

Still won't help much in the long run and painful in what it does to availability of the fun stuff. But these things have a way of getting ignored in practice.

I joined the GOA, NRA, & SAF last year, @Grovyle. 👍🏽

cool

I'm not interested in joining the NRA though due to their politics and willingness to "compromise" (bump stocks, no NFA repeal, etc)

Only reason id join the NRA is being able to vote for board members to get the fudds out

No more compromises

I just want to own full auto and an rpg damnit

hallelujah dads and mommies, cowboys, rebels, yanks and commies, buy you're self some real red-blooded fun. If you want to make the grade, you've gotta have a hand grenade, and a full automatic G.I gun.

Daily reminder that you are allowed to own fighter jets. See the comment about Larry Ellison at the bottom of the article.

That's like saying you can own tanks but the tank cannon has to be deactivated

Ooo, neat

How much would you guys give for a day with gun Jesus

Well, its just a day, ~12h flight or so, overnight, so for me its somewhere in the 5k region or so.

My ammunition arrived. 😁

Can't use wolf ammo at my local range

Why, the steel?

yeah

Indoor ranges ban steel-cases ammo why?

They said its a possible fire risk.

I would have to assume it would have to do with the materials they use in the construction of the indoor ranges, or they are lying for some unknown reason

NRA Support for red flag laws (Extreme Risk Protection Orders):

Something I am not clear about with Extreme Risk Protection Orders (Red Flag Laws). How's depriving someone of their property without a trial and conviction first for due process? How exactly do judges "Temporarily" take someones guns before it "becomes a tragedy?" Does the police department send clowns with balloons and candy to their house graciously asking for them back, or a swat team in full gear with a search warrant giving them the force of law to rummage through your house?

@taekahn i always thought it was ricochets. steel is hard and tends to do that

*shrug* i only know what i was told by the guy at the desk.

```My ammunition arrived. :grin:```
Condolences....

```Indoor ranges ban steel-cases ammo why?```
Because they are mostly garbage and cause Malfunctions.

Having a stuck live round in your gun in a closed enviroment is a bad thing, wich is why they might have banned steel case ammo.

because YOU might shoot someone or even yourself.

You don't have much safe directions...

@Miss Direction
Watch that, its long but you see why:

Steel cased isnt garbage lol

Wouldn't the rifling have to be significantly stronger than the steel or risk damage?

I only shoot steel cased through my mosin and it works fine, i've shot steel cased through ARs and AKs and it's worked fine there too

Yeah steel cased ammo is a bit harder on the barrel apparently, but you save a lot of money shooting steel cased if you don't reload your ammo, even taking barrel replacements into consideration for total cost
