PS...on the current Internet kerflunkle

The PM-63 has no...let me repeat that...no "sporting purposes!" Or spurting porpoises, for that matter. Nonetheless, if I can have one in a semi pistol config, I will pay the $200 toll to the Feds and turn the little jewel into an SBR with no sporting purposes, either. Perhaps I'll hunt miniature elk, or go to war with the Munchkin  Hegonomy. See, I live in the United States, where our right to own and use even little guns like, oh I don't know, let's just take a wild shot and say an H-K MP-7, which we'll be using in a totally unsportsmanlike manner in next month's RAPIDFIRE series, is a protected Constitutional right.

Just in case we've all forgotten, the "sporting clause" is exclusively used  by people who are planning on taking you guns and leaving you with your hand on your Mr. Weasel. When anyone used said phrase, the proper response is to say, "No thanks!".  Then quickly go buy the gun in session, Domtt let the naysayers use in, nether

Looking at the polls, its hard not to think we are pretty much screwed, and we are going to be seeing the phrase "no sporting purpose" a whole lot more in our near future.... Dont get me wrong, I am voting come hell or high water, but the conundrom of stocking up now is that they may come knocking to take away your investment at your full gratus.. I am getting real nervous here... "under the radar" is going to quickly become "in your face".

Glad to hear you chime in on Recoil Magazine's failure to load. I knew how you'd come in on this.

Smith & Wesson made their mistake ten years ago. I bet it still smarts some to them. You'd think we would have all learned from that.

If they come for your guns, give them the ammo first.

I don't believe the polls. There is No way Obummer gets a 2nd term with this economy. The mindless liberals will vote for him, the rest of us will save the country for them!

Jimmy Carter was up 6 points in the Gallup poll conducted Oct. 24-27, 1980. A week and a half later he suffered the most devastating defeat ever for sitting President.

In short, be wary of polls.

BTW, their major advertisers, Magpul, Silencerco, and Bravo Company, have pulled out of their rag.

I don't mind seeing Jerry Tsai and Recaoil take their medicine, but I'd really love to see the energy around this fuss turned to good. The origin of the "sporting purposes" language is the 1934 National Firearms Act. The insult to the Second Amendment is repeated in the legal abomination known as the 1968 Gun Control Act. It's time those errors were corrected. Let's not wait for the NRA, or (God help us!) Congress to make the move. If there's a grassroots movement to do away with the "sporting purposes" language, our "leaders" will follow. Let's get it started.

Well yeah, but Carter had to deal with an American Embassy being attacked in a country that had just undergone an Islamist change of regime.
