Take a minute and read this short article on Georgia's new gun laws in the Daily Kos. Pay particular attention to the image at the top.
Does anyone else notice anything unusual about the firearms pictured (aside from the fact that they seem to be plastic action-figure guns instead of real...
I've gotten tired of wading into the 2A quagmire in 140-character chunks so I've started my own Gun Rights / Second Amendment / Maryland Politics 'Blog, Good And Substantial.
It's new, so obviously there isn't much there yet, but I plan on putting up some fairly detailed explanations of exactly...
2A Tuesday is just over a week away. I'd like everyone who reads this and is on Facebook or Twitter to start posting stuff about the event with the hashtag #2ATuesday. (Yes, you can use hashtags in Facebook.)
Starting now:
Coming? Post about it.
Not coming? Post about it.
Have questions...
Folks, if you're on Facebook be sure to follow Delegate Mike's new Official Facebook Page. His personal page has grown as big as possible, so he's had me set him up an official "celebrity" page. No follower limits, more options for posting, etc.
Check him out. It's brand new, but growing fast!
Me. :)
Apparently he and Andi (his chief of staff, as well as a member here and an MSI EM) thought all my jibber-jabbering on Twitter may be of some use to the delegate in terms of getting his legislative messages out. I'm going to be setting up a "Friends of Delegate Smigiel" Facebook page...
MDShooters Research Team Assemble!
When were semi-automatic firearms first commonly available on the civilian market in the US? I have a rough idea (I'm guessing WWI-ish), but nothing to back it up and, unfortunately, no time to research it.
I know this is somewhat of a subjective...
I know that for an AR to be a non-NFA item, 14.5" barrels have to have have a muzzle device permanently attached to bring the total length up to 16". Otherwise, it needs to be an SBR.
I also know that in some situations, if you have the materials to assemble an SBR it can lead to some issues...
My first AR Upper was a 16" Heavy Barrel Medium Profile Barrel model from PSA. I love this upper, it shoots really well, but it's a bit on the heavy side so I'm considering alternatives.
Intended purpose: general purpose, non-free-floated barrel, 100-ish yards max max range. It's something I'd...
Well then. This should be interesting. Does her seat automatically get replaced with another Democrat, or will there be an election to fill the seat?

Hi folks, I have a data need. We've all seen the ballistics gel images comparing different rifle or handgun rounds side-by-side to the same scale so you can compare terminal ballistic performance.
Does anyone have one of those that compares rifle and handgun rounds on the same scale in the same...
Somewhat at random, I ran across a young lady named Deb on Twitter. Deb was a new Twitter member and a supporter of Moms Demand Action. We got into a few discussions and she actually seemed very reasonable. We talked at at length last night about statistics, data analysis, population sizes, etc...
In case you hadn't heard, we should find out around 9:30 this morning if SCOTUS grants cert to hear the Wollard case.
In case you're new to the forums (or have been living under a rock for a few years), this case is about Maryland's handling of handgun carry permits and their use of the...
If you ever wanted proof that stronger gun control laws do not correlate with lower gun-related homicide, here you go. (Keep in mind that this is data from 2010.) I've tried fitting a trend to this mess and nothing reliable comes out. All you can really say is that most states have low Brady...
So I got a stainless Wilson Combat bushing-style comp as a gift from a buddy for my SR1911. I know they're not supposed to be super effective at reducing recoil (and the recoil isn't an issue for me anyways), but when I opened it I noticed that the finish on the top and bottom matched my SR...
There was an article that I found on here some time ago about a man who had his guns taken away from him by way of a temporary restraining order from his estranged wife so that she could have him killed. I can't seem to find it at the moment, and my Google-Fu is failing. Can anyone help a guy...
Left to right, there's a Mark III 22/45, an SR9, an SR1911, and a Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum.
Yeah, I'm a Ruger fanboy. And a sucker for stainless steel. Can you blame me?
Starbucks has announced that open carry is now "unwelcome" in their stores, although it is not banned. This is a victory for Moms Demand, but it's a hollow one at best.
But the real issue here is that Starbucks didn't really cave to pressure from Moms Demand, they caved to gun owners open...
The more I think about this, the more I realize that, as much as I loathe the idea, this is one horrible crime that we can genuinely use to our advantage instead of the gun control zealots using it to theirs. Here's why:
1. The shooter started off with only a shotgun. One of the rules that even...
Okay, I want to start pushing something in Twitter, but it seems so counter to the gun control crowd's narrative that I want to check myself first so I don't sound like an idiot.
Ever since the Brady Bill an the establishment of the NICS system, you need an ID and go through a NICS check any...
