Re: OT-The real reson for government gun bans
While others may disagree with me, I don't think the armed citizen poses much of a military threat to the governemnt. We have rifles, they have cluster bombs and Apache Helicopters. Keep in mind that tyranny and oppression do NOT usually involve the military type weapons, because unlike wars betwee...

Lead dust on old bullets
Very old bullets I see now and then will have a white powdery coating which I can only assume is lead oxide of some sort, and thus would be rather toxic (unlike metallic lead, which despite media hype, is NOT a problem). I passed on a chance to buy really cheap 1,500 otherwise fine cast bullets due ...

They probably aren't going to just politely knock on doors and ask for firearms. Generally, they first register them on some lame pretext ('fighting crime' is hard to argue with, or 'protecting children' or whatever). Next, they license certain ones, again for some seemingly noble reason. Like the p...
