an, obviously, well thought about response. no doubt supported by careful consideration and well supported factual knowledge... i watched a proceeding on tv that concluded that there were usa sf on the ground directing/advising full auto fire, military explosives and techniques (shape charge) were D...

i watched a proceeding on tv that concluded that there were usa sf on the ground directing/advising full auto fire, military explosives and techniques (shape charge) were DEFINITELY used for entry thru the roof of the "bunker", a military helo in observance/support role and a military armo...

this is a very interesting thread.

it shows where we come from and what we're made of.

my grandpa was born in/around stigler in 1885...died in heavener in 1970. worked the KC southern railroad in that area from 1906 until 1960/61. according to my mom and gramma, he was quite a "rounder" rode a big horse and wore a six-shooter, etc... that area is chocked with western history...

i beleive we ought to tell mexico to "pound sand" we have a right, morally and LEGALLY to protect our borders, as do they; as does every country on the face of the planet. after all...they (the mexican border guards) shoot and kill those who try to enter mexico ILLEGALLY, do they not? our ...

... that it would have...

my parents and grandparents are from eastern okla. on both sides of the family. grandparents were all born in or near the okla IT prior to the turn of the 20th century around where "hanging judge" parker, heck thomas, bill tilghman and chris madsen were the only law. areas like poteau, zoe...

malamute...

i agree with your question about taking advantage of the situation when the bad guys were in the process of killing the sheriff and his deputies, but that would have been the end wouldn't it?

my wife and i have seen it twice and liked it very much.

i believe russell crowe to be a richard burton 'replacement'.

my wife and i are 'old western' fans and enjoy movies like this. we also 'prowl' areas like yuma, tombstone, bisbee, etc.

ravenman has it correct, IMHO. i'm primarily a bowhunter. have been for most of my life. mostly recurves without sights and longbows. i equate the lever rifle with open sights as being nearly the same as a bows with sights. one thing i've noticed that has not been mentioned is about the USE of scope...

i heard one candidate announce he "understands" the second amendment recently, but i did not hear him say he supports it and will respect it.

well...it depends on what you're 'stocking up' for in my estimation. for hunting, sporting and general shooting applications, you can never have too many rounds. for the "coming revolution" (when, and IF it comes...) enough .223, 45 ACP & 9mm to hold on till "they" finally ge...

congress and state/local govts are going to do nothing about the high costs of any and everything. they reap the benefits of PERCENTAGE taxes...the higher the price, the more revenue they rake in. why would they want to cut it down? make no mistake about it...they have no intentions of "lighten...

i personally have no desire to own a .50 BMG rifle but i DO NOT support a ban of them! they have legitimate sporting purposes in spite of our so called "legislators". perhaps a letter to senator ted kennedy could give insight to the ban he's introduced for the .50 cal long range "snip...

it's not a very good choice but between the two i'd HAVE to go mccain.

i think he's not as anti-gun as billery.

with george pratt his partner...

i have a model 65 in 38/357 and so far it's been as reliable as an anvil. accur4ate, too. i did install a lighter hammer spring from wolff gun springs.

i would not part with it.

second what el mac said.

there seems to be no real "answer" does there? bad guys are gonna be bad guys, regardless. that fact seems to evade lawmakers for some reason. it seems that lawmakers do nothing more than CREATE more problems than they solve every time they pass a "crime fighting" law. ultimately...

you may rest at nite knowing that's the way this nation is heading...

whether the condor died from ingesting or 'injected by high speed' lead projectiles is secondary...remember...the will of the kaliphornia state legislature comes first; right or wrong. to say they're living in the 14th century is to give them credit.

big bore94 hit on the most prominent reason the lever gun was not accepted by the army was the awkward operation while firing from the prone position. mounted cavalry seldom, if ever, used rifles while mounted. more often the colt SAA was used when on horseback during CQB. operating EITHER rifle on ...

SB, the technology is available, but...testing by UC Davis, found it to be highly unreliable. the legislature and arnie both are aware the technology is flawed and admit it. another reason they should be voted out of office. remember, the state legislature of kaliphornia is living in the 14th century.

i've had both red-dot & maginfying optics on the 1894c and enjoyed them both. but since the 'c' is basically a one hundred yard gun, i've opted to go back to the open sights. the standard buckhorn sights seem to be accurate enough for my applications. (although, i'm like some others around in th...

the assault will continue and will get worse...

the whole scenerio is unerving and very troubling at the least. i, for one, have very little faith or belief in our current system when it comes to intrepreting the second amendment. there are too many out there who still do not understand the underlying meaning of it. there are those who would do a...

the aclu was founded by a known avowed communist... the aclu IS communist/marxist... the aclu is delibertly misinretpeting the constitution to say "separation of church and state". no where does the constitution say that. the aclu has done much more damage than good. we have a supreme cour...

i'd vote for grizz if he ran on that platform...

it may sound odd, but, i beleive that if hillary does become the next pres, the people deserve what they get; they should know by now what it will be like under another clinton presidency. hillary is "being nice" during the nominations...just wait...if "elected" pres...things wil...

IMHO...the govt (all levels, federal, state county,etc) fear for THEIR own saftey. why else do they exclude law enforcment personel from not having ar-15's, .50 BMG BA rifles, etc? (that pertains mostly to kaliphornia) barrett has it right...refuse to sell to or service any one who outlaws any produ...

if it weren't so serious, it would be a joke, unfortunately, the state legislature of kaliphorniastan is very serious. :( when arnie signed it he reportedly commented: "i hope the techonology will be better by the time this goes into effect". :shock: keep in mind...the california state leg...

it is indeed good news. however... there is even worse legislation being proposed according to the NRA correspondence i just recieved. if you own twenty or more guns (that includes receivers that will complete a functioning firearm) you have to register as an "arsenal" at a whopping $300.0...

while one may contest the validity of the NRA's position on many issues, it must be understood that it does give voice to gun owners. once a person looks at some of the proposed laws, they aren't so bad or idiotic as the may seem at first. after there was much scrutiny by the authorities, it was asc...
