It's even harder than that. Unless you remove the fuel rods quickly, in 1-2 months, you get too much thermally hot plutonium-238, and too much plutonium-240, which is the isotope that prevented using reactor bred plutonium in a gun as

That, of course, is the ultimate outcome when the other side never offers true compromises, never stops their legal abuses let alone verbal abuses, and makes it crystal clear their objective is to strip us of our best instruments to resist

Can't imagine how I forgot them, especially with neighboring Iowa just last month legalizing suppressors, and my own hearing losses over the years, which I'd like to limit going forward. In part, it's because handguns in conc

There are many people for whom I'd give my life, without the slightest hesitation, to ensure their safety and survival. There is no way I would take a life for anyone. These simultaneous positions are rational??? In what situations

No, I insist, based on 20th Century history, that pretty much all confiscations in developed, and in most undeveloped countries, have been preceded by registries, and this includes multiple states in the US (where, I grant, you can move the

Nothing at all praiseworthy about e.g. this recent DGU as reported here: http://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2016/04/29/80-year-old-woman-s... What's you "better" for when a thug is using lethal

Indeed. My mother's RN residency was just before the original anti-psychotics came into widespread use, and she did 3 months in a psych ward. After she was finished and then working in the same hospital, she was amazed to see a &qu

"16.25in" barrel so it's not a SBR (Short Barreled Rifle, register with the BATFE and pay $200 etc.), so you'll get more energy out of the rounds, and presumably better hollow point performance, but I wouldn't be co

No, the primary use of guns, and purpose of most guns in Americans' hands, although that's rapidly changing. And you have clearly never been in a marksmanship competition.

It depends; many of us realize we're already on plenty of lists of "undesirables", so OPSEC measures like that are not yet needed, although it might be a good idea to get in practice now. And it's not just smartphones, a

Police very seldom, and sometimes never have to use their guns, except maybe to threaten. They're paid to keep the peace and all that, the gun is merely one of many tools, although the one that all others ultimately rest on.

I don't think you're right about how pervasive gun ownership was, due to changes in costs and wealth, and the ability to maintain guns in the days of corrosive black gunpowder and corrosive percussion caps and primers (the WWII M1

Well, if you want to fund lawsuits, the Washington state based Second Amendment Foundation is a better bet, and I'll bet they're a party to that lawsuit as well. They are the only other effective one as I count them, but you have

Well, the U.S government is the single biggest purchaser of guns & ammo in the world. Not even close. E.g. they annually procure by an order of magnitude less small arms ammo than the 12+ billion produced in the US alone for civilian
