      NY State Senator Wants to Ban Glock Pistols and Switches

      Same logic as those anti-gunners (I forget which state) who argued that we should ban ARs because they can be converted to full-auto, ergo, readily violate the NFA. By the same logic, do we need to ban shotguns because they can easily be sawed-off to create SBS, which also violates the NFA?

      Why is the Glock 21 the best pistol on the market today?

      Interesting! The only two .45-caliber pistols I own right now are a G21 (Gen 3, non-SF) and a Para P14.45. And like you, I prefer to shoot my P14.

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      For what it's worth: I'm pretty sure that that's something that some dealers in MD are already doing just this. I've mentioned previously that Engage Armament told me that they're trying to get MSP to revise their determination on the legality of the Daniel Defense MK12 (which they deemed...

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      I'm here to post my opinions about firearms and learn more about MD's ridiculous laws, same as anyone else. I know that you think you're cleverly posing a rhetorical question, but saying that the "majority" of my contributions here are running arguments is a much better example of what your...

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      This debate/trollfest (on the part of Boats) started out as my response to an article that made a point that I agreed with. Anyway, I could ask you the same question: You've taken it upon yourself to try and suppress information that you feel hurts your cause, in order to preserve orthodoxy...

      Beretta 92FS

      Same. Stainless Taurus PT92 AFS, blued Taurus PT99 AF for me (both made in 1994). Blasphemy: Reservoir Dogs is a classic. Even if the plot rips off a Hong Kong action movie that came out 5 years earlier.

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      You forget that many of us buy URGs and upper parts online?

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      Very well aware that MSP's interpretation is what will be used in trial. Hence why it's useful to think about the safest read of their interpretation. I'm also afraid that if I ask MSP, this forum's Verbal Moralities Statute Police will chide me for poking the bear.

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      Thank you for your continued incisive observations. The intellectual rigor you have demonstrated is very impressive, about on par with everyone on this topic whose contributions have been along the lines of, "An assault weapon is anything used to assault someone." I'm not a troll just because...

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      While this is true, those of us whose livelihoods rely on our ability to maintain a security clearance (i.e., a sizeable portion of the DMV population) can't afford to take the risk.

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      That's the answer that anyone can Google or find using the search feature, yes (and side note: it's only an MSP interpretation, not statutory). But for those of us who prefer to err on the side of caution and abide by MSP's interpretation of the law (however reluctantly), there are still some...

      What's the current best value for a Md legal Ar15?

      Yes, but that was back in the days when the majority of people buying ARs were using them for accurized setups for match shooting, not tactical shooting (let alone 2/3 Gun, which didn't really exist). It's also why, in the 1980s and 1990s, pretty much everybody other than Colt who made ARs...

      What is an H Barrel in Maryland?

      OK, but the way it came across, you seemed kinda like you were another self-appointed arbiter of how we use bandwidth on this forum. And God knows, we have too many such people. This.

      Those who can't, cheerlead for others who think they can, I guess. :rolleyes:

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      Wow, congrats, you've demonstrated that you know how to Google the syllabus of a Logic 101 course. How ironic that you've also exhibited nearly all of the same fallacies that you've accused me of employing. Anyway, at this point, I'm done with this shit. Welcome to my Ignore list.

      What's the procedure of buying a rifle in Maryland

      I should point out that there are some rifles in MD that would be banned as "copycat" weapons that can be sent to an FFL and then transferred to you, but only if the FFL is a gunsmith and makes them compliant before the transfer. Example: Any modern tactical rifle that has both a folding stock...

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      Not a good idea. You don't need to read every comment, but you need to read enough of the thread to realize that origin of the "assault weapon" definition is only a small piece of what we're debating in here.

      What's the current best value for a Md legal Ar15?

      Can you post a link? Colt has sold several different rifles that they marketed as the "SOCOM." The first, sold ~2012-13, had a 16" M4 Govt-profile barrel and would not be legal to own if purchased post-2013. They've also (more recently) sold 14.5" SOCOM-barreled rifles under a similar...

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      Bob: Thanks for responding to this point before I did. It's been a hot minute since I read The Black Rifle, but my recollection of the history recounted in the book is that Armalite as a company was a lot more focused on competing for military contracts after they won the competition for the...

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      I've discussed the G17/G18 issue in another post. The G18 was developed from the G17, not the other way around. It is a machine pistol version of a semi-automatic service pistol, while something like a Steyr SPP (which I own) is a semi-automatic derivative of an SMG (the TMP). Go back and read...
