Hang around the tire shop and get all the lead you could ever need.
Charcoal, urine and cow patties.....

Tumble your fine powder with graphite..... and elevated humidity, does not effect the burn rate.

I read most of the article, and do not understand why they could not prosecute this guy. The issue of 'upper' vs. 'lower' did come up in another thread. From what expert posters said, the upper is totally unregulated under the law. That is not right! You pass a background check for a gun with a particular level of power. If you wish to 'upper' that level, you should have to go through another background check.
I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. If the former...I just don't even know how to reply to such an uneducated statement.

Edit: You just said "Limbaugh". Do you mean the "LINEbaugh"? The Linebaugh is a revolver. What "clip"? You mean "cartridge"? The AR15 doesn't use a "clip", it uses a magazine.

You really don't know what you're talking about, do you?

There's no way he's serious.

He believes in "assault trap doors" too.

Heck, all the times I have been nearly killed in my life, have been because of reckless drivers behind the wheel of a car. Sure don't see no congressman demanding more stringent rules and regulations to operate a vehicle. Heck, around my parts, most people don't even have a legal license or insurance, and still drive around illegally. This is in plain view of everyone. If the police are failing to address this problem that causes thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of death and misery a year, what makes people think they will be able to get control of guns?

I can't help but think about the similarities with say a deranged person using a gun to kill or turning to a truck. I wonder if anyone would bat an eye if that deranged person bought some parts and put them on his truck that would improve the suspension so when he jumped the curb he would stay in control to run down the crowd. Or maybe he added some more horsepower to the motor with parts bought online so he could go faster in his murder spree?


The AR15 is one of the most popular sporting rifles in the country and there are millions of them out there. I don't think one guy making some parts is "flooding the market" it is actually circumventing existing law.
As the articles states the law was poorly written and to prosecute this guy means a higher court would have to throw it out based on the way the law was written. Which would have meant a serious run on 80% lowers since that means it would be a legal, untraceable firearm in all States.

That is how I interpret it. I could be wrong.

Its not really effective. A sniper will take you out quick. These sorts of weapons are for destroying infrastructure and really only good as a first strike weapon and as part of a squad.

The first key piece of tech is new armor materials that will resist sniper rifle rounds without taking much damage. Once you have that then its a game changer.
