Ahh, [current year]. The year of everyone that doesn't agree with me is a Russian-bot. I can't wait for the next [current year], just to see what kind of pathetic meme idiots like you try to use next.

Hey, have a free gift on your way out the door. A link to a PDF on how to build your own AR-15 lower receiver.

At some point the release of so many squirrels into the wild has to have an environmental impact. http://www.guns.com/wp-content...

There's so much wrong with this study that it could be a study itself in how bad research is done. The most glaring is that the author of this tripe laid out an arbitrary categories of what the author believes to be what is and is not a legitimate news site.

Pizzagate - can you provide a left wing example which caused a reaction of similar proportions?

Nothing new. The Obama administration has the worst record of blanket FOIA denial of any since FOIA became a thing.

There was a lawyer who sent the FBI an FOIA wanting to know what offenses would make a person a "domestic abuser" and disqualify them from buying a gun. The FBI said the list was secret and refused to answer. There's your most transparent administration ever!

The BATFE has stopped responding to FOIAs completely. If you want anything from them, you have to sue, pay for counsel, and wait for the lethargic court system to sort it out for a few years. They've even claimed they're not subject to FOIA requests AT ALL!

Another case recently: a lawyer was looking for all correspondence between the BATFE and a gun control group, NFATCA. The BATFE slow walked it until there was a lawsuit, then said they could only deliver records from after 2013, and it would take 6 months. The "compromise" was that the BATFE will release the emails in 5 dumps between November and March. So 10 months after the initial request, he'll have all the documents, and then he can take them to court over the huge number of redactions that recent history has shown us will be in there.

As much as some people want to try and say, "the last guy wasn't transparent either!!!," well, things have objectively gotten worse for FOIA requests under Obama.

The president with the worst history of blanket denial of FOIA requests, running the most opaque government in our lifetime, signs a law "improving" the FOIA system. What a joke! If he and his executive branch didn't respect it before, they wont respect it now.

I was reading on a gun blog recently about a lawyer who sent the FBI an FOIA wanting to know what offenses would make a person a "domestic abuser" and disqualify them from buying a gun. The FBI said the list was secret and refused to answer. There's your most transparent administration ever!

It was a 12 gauge shotgun. Not unlike the one shown here: http://www.guns.com/2013/08/21...

That article describes it thus. "It looks like a rifle large enough to part a meteor, sink a battleship, or down a MIG with one shot. The reason is, it’s actually a shotgun, which explains the huge barrel but not the action."

You can always recognize a real gun from a prop, my ass. Here's a G11, which looks like a goddamn 2x4 someone attached a pistol grip to. Not production enough for you? How about the P90, which looks like it might be part of a comfy chair. There are tons of guns that don't look like normal guns, it's ridiculous to expect someone to be able to identify them all at a distance. The idea that they should saunter out to go check is even more ludicrous, hell half the people in this thread are so damn scared they won't even walk out the door unarmed, much less confront someone in a mask.

But you've already torpedoed your main point when you pointed out that the stormtrooper blaster is based off a real, actual gun. As you pointed out, it has a bunch of random attachments. Good thing nobody's ever attached anything to a stock gun before, eh?

Yes, because you said so..

That seems to work better than whatever you're trying here.

So the mentally ill person will destroy the plane with the Chucks of Liberty? Maybe they'll choose from one of the other tasteful, avant-garde means to strike terror into the hearts of the traveling public?

Let us keep in mind that even if your linked methods were truly dangerous, they aren't magically more dangerous in the hands of the mentally ill.

TL;DR: you're being an idiot on the internets. You have yet to even provide one shred of evidence or a bit of correlation for the claim that the mentally ill are somehow more dangerous on an airliner, much less dangerous enough that their presence should be regulated.

And you've blown past attempts by at least three different posters to provide you with some degree of face saving while digging that hole deeper. Just let go of this.

As per a previous failed assASSination attempt:

“There are some really practical limitations to what you can do with the basic physics. You can only get so much in the body, and there is no shrapnel effect. Because they are so small, the blast is greatly blunted by the bomber’s body itself. It’s good news that these things have very limited lethality.”

Pricey you say? Drool over TrackingPoint's new scope/rifle combo, and then cry over its $15,000 price tag!

The true source of the problem is the monitors themselves. On these monitors, filthy pornography and violence, and blasphemy are continuously displayed, 24 hours a day, in libraries and schools around the country. We must put a stop to monitors at any cost!!
