Disagree. Driving is a privilege. Being armed is a constitutional right. Unfortunately, the states have to be forced to obey the Constitution.

To quote President Obama, “We won…”. God-willing this will change.

I disagree with you. Judge Thomas stated that the 2A is not a second rate amendment. The 2A should be treated like the 1A, in that, it is untouchable. You need no permit to speak, why a permit to carry.

Amen…

Agreed. Again, .30 vs .22.

‘In the end, hit potential was the same between the three different pistols, but I was able to run the 9mm pistol measurably faster. Felt recoil in the .40 variant was a bit snappier — more so than the .45 ACP — but I didn’t consider any of the test trio to be difficult to control when firing in...

Amen!

Why thank you. Purty - non-standard spelling of pretty. It is pretty and it shoots straight.

Springfield v-16 long slide.

On the other hand, momentum weighs mass and velocity equally — the equation is — mass times velocity. The weight of the bullet counts a lot more in the numerical result. For example, a 9mm 124-grain bullet moving at 1,150 fps has about the same energy as a .45 ACP traveling 850 fps (364.2 vs...

“What is left unsaid is that the introduction to light plastic guns made it difficult for many recruits to qualify.” Amen. Just because the FBI does it, does not make it moral or right. A heavier gun is stable and absorbs recoil efficiently. I spent some 20 years in the Marines (M1911A1 to...

To get a larger perspective of the war read: This Kind of War by Theodore Reed Fehrenbach, Jr. Excellent read.

So basically: the 45 is better than the 9, magazine capacity is not strategic, recoil is a mental issue, and a keep firm grip on your weapon. Interesting.

Well, I suppose so if he turns on the lights and starts opening cabinets in my summer kitchen; however, the 20 round magazine is in the drawer.

”The main reason for a pistol is so you can fight your way to your rifle"? Well my Mossburg 500 and M1911 are in the bedroom. My M1A Tanker is in the kitchen. My M1A NM is in the den. My wife and I can both shoot well. The 308 and 45 have proven themselves to stop the bad guy. I sleep...

Amen. Semper fi Leatherneck.

Yes. I joined the Marines in ‘72 and was weened on the M14 and 1911 (I later learned the M16 and M9). However, I enjoy shooting the 1911 and I am very proficient. I am confident with the 1911. I am now an ‘Old Dog’ and new tricks do not attract me. If this is boring. Fine. But I will...

You made my point. Shot placement is paramount. Judge the shooter more severely than the caliber. Practice, practice, practice.
