WW2 Exploding Ammunition

Wed, 11/12/2014 - 13:29

The guys at Forgotten Weapons talk about German and Russian ammunition from World War Two that exploded upon impact. Pretty ingenious technology from seventy years ago.

More On WA-I594

Wed, 11/05/2014 - 13:38

If 591 fails we are in big trouble. Of course there are statements that 594stateSAF will take 594 to court. They have a very successful track record of overturning laws in many states. But Bloomberg’s Wa Alliance For Gun Responsibility has bottomless funding and is already anticipating a fight. I am more concerned about how many gun owners voted for 594. Did we not just see that the horrible tragedy in Marysville would not have been prevented even with this law? Gabby Gifford’s attacker bought his gun legally. The Sandy Hook guns were stolen. Almost every single one of the “mass shootings” suspects bought guns passing background checks or stole the guns. This law would not have prevented any single one of those. Now for those of us law abiding gun owners in Washington it is we that are screwed here. There are so many “unintended consequences” in this bill it makes the Health Care bill seem manageable. It is so narrow that LE and Military are barley exempt. It is so narrow that even in the gun store the employee can’t hand me a gun to look at. Forget about my livelihood and my hobbies.

Confused on WA-I594

Wed, 11/05/2014 - 10:15

How can a state that just three years ago (WA HB 1016) legalized suppressor ownership, and just seven months ago (WA SB 5956) legalized SBR (short barreled rifle) ownership, pass such a travesty of a bill as WA-I594?
